Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dragon-Slayer" data-source="post: 1782303" data-attributes="member: 19577">In playing Vampire years ago I had a Storyteller that was an awesome player (he was very good at making up stories in real life, too. Well, maybe not good at it, but he sure practised a lot.) but a really bad storyteller, basically because he couldn't run with what the players were doing very well. His stories were great in theory, but it was too easy for us to outthink him without really trying, which turned the game into a Monty Hall marathon of ubridled bloodlust. Aleister Crowley? Trapped, staked, and drained before he knew what hit him. Justicars? I was taking them down left and right, making them pay in blood for attempting to bring me to justice. Baba Yaga and I had epic battles, and he was finally able to keep me at bay (as in she ran and had escape routes) but not without me taking over several small towns and converting the locals into vampires to create my own army. Not really my preferred style of play, but if the Storyteller/GM/DM cannot provide well thought out challenges, why not try to keep him on his toes?   The Storyteller himself is a good guy, I was his best man at his wedding, but he also had a penchant for running around town with guns and acting like he was in the CIA and doing special forces work when in reality he was an Army cook. He is a very good player though, few people can craft a backstory like him, and he was superb at whining his character out of tight spots.</blockquote>
