The Game I Run: Vampire: The Masquerade, Revised Edition. How I Streamlined It: 1. Only two books were canon at game start: the Revised Core and the Guide to the Camarilla. Material from any other sources was hearsay at best, malicious gossip at worst. Along those lines — no clanbook material...

The Product Identity portion includes the following: * Any of the World of Darkness or MCWoD logos, trademarks, or trade dress, including the names of the various books or product lines. * Any of the text under a "description" header of any creature, spell, supernatural item or NPC. * Any...

I worked up some of my favorite oWoD characters as practice. You may notice that some of the things you used to be able to do are no longer there, and others don't require the prerequisites they once did. (I'm tempted to create a "Thaumaturgy" Discipline that grants vampires access to the Blood...

It's a really neat way of reconciling two concepts: "The World of Darkness is a lot like our own, and the changes have arrived so quickly that people haven't yet had the chance to adapt." and "Part of the fun of playing a vampire is getting to be really wicked old, like Lestat or Angel or...

The short answer is "no." The long answer is "The werewolves in this game place most of their emphasis on being 'spirits of rage and destruction thrust into human bodies.' Any resemblance with earthly wolves is strictly coincidental. In fact, there's a Rite feat called "Anybeast" that lets you...

*nod* It depends where you're coming from. I've been playing World of Darkness games since the 1991 softback version of Vampire (ooh, a grognard in eyeliner). Around the same time, I poked around with a small-press game called NightLife, which was a different monsters-in-the-modern-world game...

I'd disagree with that last part. One of the things that I'd noticed about the McWoD magic system is that mages actually have more options available to them. In Storytell* Mage, the effects you can produce are proscribed by the Spheres/Arcana you know. In Monte's version, all mages can produce...

* Based on what I've seen so far, Changeling: the Lost has the potential to be phenomenal. Without access to the whole book, though, I've got to reserve judgment. * Forsaken looks good, but I haven't had the chance to play it. It's very much a "Law & Order" sort of game, and I like that. *...

And it might not happen even then. ;)

We tend to run it as a series of loosely connected one-shots featuring modern-day celebrities translated loosely into D&D classes and races. It's all sorts of good fun.
