Don't like the system, but that could be salvagable with a 2nd edition.WoD 2.0 - Most of it is ok but I can't stand the system. I liked WoD 1.x and thought it was a great system with lots of flexability for great detail if wanted or a simple default mechanic if not. 2.0 simply seems too dumbed down to be of any real interest to me. One roll combat just seems to tip the game too far to one side in the ease of play/realism balance that makes a game enjoyable to me.Tunnels & Trolls, Cyberpunk (early editions of both) - Too often possible to have combats where one side will never have a chance of ever being able to harm the other.Mind's Eye Theater LARPing - OK, so all my friends that I played Vampire with were either punk rockers or goths long before the game came out and we liked it because it was a cheezy stereotype. Too many of the LARPers were gaming geeks trying to be goth whose fantasy lives didn't quite match up to what we actually did last Saturday night. I don't need a game to PRETEND that I'm wearing $300 worth of clothes from Hot Topic, hanging out in a cemetary, and preforming illegal activities because I'm gaming to do something besides that for a change. There were literally multiple times a friend of mine would describe her activities from the previous weekend and my response would be "Really? I don't remember seeing you there." only to find out she was talking about "the game."</blockquote>
