Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dannyalcatraz" data-source="post: 8594471" data-attributes="member: 19675">Tangent: I have to say I was a member of a group that playtested GURPS:VtM back in the 1990s.  And even though it wasn’t my favorite system, I had a freaking blast.  Two interwoven things contributed to this.First, I went into the play test thinking that it was my job to test the game’s limits.  Since I was relatively new to GURPS- especially as compared to the group I was in- I decided to go straightforward with my mechanical choices.  I designed a Brujah with maxed out Potence (physical strength & toughness) & Celerity (supernatural speed) who had been turned by a VERY old vampire.  IOW, mechanically, this PC was a brutal killing machine.Second, the character concept was absurdist.  In life, he had been a private investigator.  When he rose from the grave, he went Malkavian-level insane, His broken mind interpreted his newfound supernatural abilities as comic-book super powers.  He was a reimagined version of NEC’s The Tick…Major Mosquito.  Gear-wise, he added some body armor, a crossbow with wooden bolts, a muscle car with a big trunk (with some dirt in it) and a BMX bike rack.  The bike had cards in the spokes to produce a buzz.  And he had surgical steel crime straws that he used to feed in miscreants.Effectively, he was an anti-vampire vampire of sorts, being manipulated by the group’s Toreador.  Nothing like having a mad dog on your team…My point?  I don’t know why you’re eliminating GURPS from the start, but I have to admit that the game IS very capable of delivering a satisfactory V:tM experience.</blockquote>
