I never played it! Or any tabletop RPG! But I read about it a bunch!

Someone should run a game of Vampire so I can take a level in nerd

look! a character sheet and automated roller thing!

someone volunteer to make a game and be sure not to go all goth with it

    If you roll a one, you have to have sex with a dog. Except you have to be the receiver.

    I once read an article about graphics on the XBox written by a graphics programmer who worked on the Blade game for the XBox. God, can you imagine having to be a shader guy or texture artist for that? OK, so the main character is a black guy with dark sunglasses and a black-handled sword and he wears black leather and fights at night in dim sewer tunnels. Awesome, so basically he's visible only where his jacket shines and the chrome finish on his sword. Oh and if he smiles. But he doesn't smile.

    yeah I'd play the shit out of it

    knob was going to do one ages ago, I made a character and everything. basically as long as there is a standing rule that there aren't any characters that are like "Jane Amazing is a beautiful but deadly journalist". How you can get the best roleplaying system for making sociopaths ever and end up with so many grizzled private investigators and rock guitarists is beyond me.

    i used to play vampire back in the day

    both tabletop and larp

    they are very different experiences

    the tabletop is a well-designed and fun game with epic action and clever challenges and great stories

    the larp is playing dress up with a bunch of goth fags at the university math building late on a saturday night when you could be out drinking or having sex.

    both have their appeals i suppose

    the inside of his jacket is red!

    i still think that's kind of rad in a neckbeareded 21 year old kind of way

    yeah there is. You can try and figure it out, it's pretty neat. I'll spoil it for you below though
    there are two big observatory doors. Get wolfie to follow you through them, he'll need a minute to squeeze through. Flip the close doors switch. voila.

    oh shit that's awesome. there are so many games where i want something like this to be the solution to the encounter but it's like "naw closing doors on him don't do shit he clips through them or the door stops closing on him"

    I used to think werewolf was pretty neat if a bit eco friendly and hippie until someone went "yeah but furries play it" and then I looked at it again and said "son of a bitch..."

    I think they made you unable to stay in werewolf form in the new one deliberately to stop furries.

    Werewolves, to a new vampire, are to all intents and purposes unkillable. They started out as a plot device to stop players going places the storyteller didn't want them to.

    yeah even the dudes i used to play v:tm larp with looked down on werewolf

    not just because of a "lol my larp character hates werewolves ventrue 4 life" thing but because every werewolf player we knew was a fucking furry and would show up to games in a fucking fursuit or, at the very least, show up with an illustration of what his character should look like in his wolf form and it was always some furry fan-art bullshit from deviantart

    ugh

    when vampire larpers look down you

    you know you are at a special place

    unfortunately i sold my owod books

    i would have to acquire them in another fashion.

    and to be honest tuber with the recent release of 4e i got a lot of rpg on my plate

    it was more a question i wanted to ask in case i wanted to run one in the future

    if i did it'd be like, a mini-series of a campaign, 1-3 stories tops. long-term rpgs don't work on forums.

    There's actually relatively little gothery in the actual game. The books actively discourage gothery. It's just that the people interested in the vampire game are likely to be goths.

    thats not original at all
    in fact that is so not original i specifically remember watching a boring episode of the new outer limits about a character of the very same description

    i remember it because it was so bad and apathy had taken over my body and i was forced to watch it
