That was a supplemental release for Mythras. What you proposed in at least one communication, essentially as a new edition, is for Luther Arkwright to be a standalone RPG. You are waiting on the new material that Bryan Talbot is working on, having renewed your license with him. It is speculation...

Long campaigns can be really challenging - particularly if you have to hiccup between last minute cancelled sessions frequently. I do think that players ought to take responsibility, if they have committed to a game, to ensure that GMs are fully supported for the efforts they put in.

I don’t really buy into that analysis of Lovecraft. While the cosmology of Lovecraft is clearly pessimistic and humanity is insignificant on those cosmic terms, individual protagonists manage to progress against particular antagonists in various stories and ‘win’ in the short term. The actual...

Nor should you. As before, there isn’t anything wrong with playing the game how you want. The issue, as I said, with fans berating developers for actually developing the game in the way that the text of the game presents itself as. It's like ‘Damn you! This game really is about personal horror!!’.

That is the honest answer.

I think any major revision of the D&D5 rules in the foreseeable future would be an error. What is needed is some limited edition, commemorative editions c.2024....

The reason why you are not providing quotes is because you can’t provide any that support your contention - no other reason. The image you found (out of one suspects were thousands), doesn’t even come from any of the books - it was an image that comes from White Wolf games, not used in V5, and...

Everything in my post refutes that contention, and you aren’t addressing the point that you cannot back up anything you say with actual quotes or examples. That is why you are shifting the posts towards discussing various conflicts in the game. The game was not written with examples of play that...

Well, if you want to shift the goal posts, sure. The Camarilla vs Sabbat conflict was actually only made a core theme after the 2nd edition of the game had been released. The Players’ Guide to the Sabbat, which came out about 1992/3, attempted to make what had been a peripheral bogeyman group...

So, the short answer is you can’t. San Francisco by Night was a sourcebook for Kindred of the East and both that and Nights of Prophecy were fairly late releases in any case (both in the 2000s). You’d have to cut it more that just a couple of covers to support what you claimed. I have my core...

Again, I’d be interested if you could quote the text where the game was illustrated as superpowered Camarilla and Sabbat battling in the streets with Kung Fu vampires. Again, I just think people are lost in interpretation. Moreover, this argument seems to be going full circle - where the...

The 'golden rule’ is more to do with mechanics than setting. That is, if you don’t like the rules they present, then it is ‘Rule 0’ that you can play it how you like instead. This is common in a lot of games, although it may have been novel when Vampire first came out in 1991. Look, there is no...

Yep. It was the ongoing issue of the game through the earlier editions that the loose mechanics didn’t really enforce the gameplay described in the text - and different groups ended up interpreting it their own way. The most recent edition - V5 - actually fixes this because the mechanics very...

And there was I thinking that Alien was largely based on Lovecraftian tropes...

Yep. I’m getting mine in a metal box too!

Are you anticipating the anticipation poll?

Then you’d better start providing quotes, because you are talking absolute garbage as far as I can see. You don’t speak for the majority of gamers playing Vampire, for sure. What you are doing is revising history to make your own narrative. It is not factual, and no I don’t agree with you, and...

No. It’s the actual 5th edition of Werewolf: The Apocalypse, with some variant of the Storyteller system (hopefully, more or less compatible with Vampire: The Masquerade 5th edition). It will be published by Renegade Games Studios, who do incidentally plan to release a bunch of games compatible...

King Arthur Pendragon 6E for me, not least because they are also re-doing the entire Great Pendragon Campaign in some sort of slipcase format. I’ve not gone for Dune, as it was last year’s winner and the starter supplement has already been released or The One Ring 2nd edition, in as much as I...

Your history is challenged if all you took from reading Mark Rein-Hagen’s version of the game is ‘trenchcoats and katanas’. You are making the error of assuming that this was how ‘the vast majority of people played VtM’. The term ‘trenchcoats and katanas’ was lampooning how the intent of the...
