[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 5440279, member: 14159"] I had a New World of Darkness game I'd bolted from. I told the story years ago as it was unfolding, after each game, here on ENWorld. Basically, I wanted to try (n) WoD, and had the daughter of a friend of mine want to run a game. I was expecting a basic, standard WoD game to get a baseline for the system and setting. I created a character, and watched as the went from being a normal WoD game to being a weird mix of a Laurell K. Hamilton novel and the Cube movie series, with her creating a vast amount of house-rules (completely re-writing a good chunk of the system, for example all NPC"s resolved all action by rolling percent and her making a fiat call), letting her boyfriend play a Mary-Sue super-NPC, and making us RP out hour-long cab rides or morning breakfast as in-depth acting with a random NPC, and visits to a kinky Amsterdam sex club (complete with very elaborate services and price list). . .all with her taking detailed notes because she has a fantasy of writing a novel series based on her game. I stuck with it for a while because I liked the people I was gaming with, and the GM was actually a very good bartender and would serve good drinks after the game, but in the end I couldn't justify going back for that game.
