is White Wolf's hype machine broken?

After reading the blurb, any interest I had was gone.

Not my thing I guess....

 

[Insight]

Not exactly sure about the "Iconnu" spelling/thing, even if it's intentional...

/N

That would annoy me. I hope it's a typo.

The Iconnu were a secret sect of vampires in the oWOD. For this version, MCWOD or McWOD (is that a new fastfood restaurant) or Motley Crue's WOD it seems that it's the post-apocalyptic WoD game that I was always curious to run or play in.

Agreed. To me a big part of it is the rich history. Vamps aren't just super strong, they live super long!! etc.

 

[carmachu]

I have to admit I like the look of it. It as the cross between WOD and Torg from west end games.....it sounds very cool.

Yeah, me too. I was hoping it would be his slant but keeping the general dynamic of the original setting.

Sounds a bit like KULT.

Inconnu, hence the questions about whether it's intentionally spelled wrong or what.

Is this... good or bad?

It's odd, it might be a good book (I'm not a big Cook fan), but it most certainly doesn't seem to be WoD. It reminds me of many different games to varying extents, and could be quite fun. It just seems odd to put the WoD label on it. (Other than Marketing of course.)
