[QUOTE="Barastrondo, post: 4461158, member: 3820"] Since [B]Werewolf[/B] is a recurring theme here, I just have to chime in here: You're absolutely right. It really, really depends on the players. I myself have had very mixed success in running [B]Werewolf[/B] for players I didn't know at conventions and the like. And this isn't even a matter of running it the same way all the time! Sometimes I'd go for moody and social: and either I get a fantastic group of players who love the fragility and odd bonds of playing an all-Kinfolk group, or I'd get a Queen Bee roleplayer who resented any challenge to her authority when I would say "No, that's not actually how it works." But I also tried running a pulp adventure [B]Werewolf: The Apocalypse[/B] game set in WWII! Once I got a fantastic group that really melded the Garou bloodfury with the pulp archetypes. The other time I got a guy demanding to play the Shadow Lord pregen, reading the character sheet, and then asking "What's a femmy fay-tallee?" I felt pain that day. [/QUOTE]
