I know the new edition (called V5) has been pretty controversial. Partially for some mechanical decisions, but mostly for some updates to its lore. It made me really hesitant because unlike the most recent Shadowrun editions that seemed to be almost universally reviled, the Vampire community seemed to be split in half; wherever I looked, half were saying the new rules were much better (even though not perfect) and half were saying it was not true to the franchise's name.What's interesting is that I have no idea what the truth is, but as a newcomer, it's V5 has been much easier to get into than the dozen of sourcebooks from the last twenty five years. The graphic design and layout are also quite horrendous in the older edition but it hurts my eyes to go through the books. Without even playing V5, I'm seeing potential issues with it, but nothing out of the ordinary when compared to most TTRPGs on my shelves.</blockquote>
