Am I a cruel DM?

[Mr Gone]

I was GMing with a bunch of friends, and for the first game of a WoD campaign, I had them all make up new, intricately designed characters. I was really impressed with the level of forethought they all showed, and they had their characters have elaborate, fleshed out relationships with one another. They assumed we were going to be playing Vampire or the like. In the first game session, I purposely killed every PC, and the game became Wraith. The PCs have still yet to forgive me.

I don't even trust gnome PC's...I think you were in the right as DM. I would rather plan things out myself, but it seems that you played the situation correctly.
