What the hell has happened to the Vampire the Masquerade and World of Darkness rpgs? I haven't looked at the new editions since I think like 07-08, and by god its somehow turned into a complete shitshow?! it now reads like what a trust fund nepo baby hipster who reads Vice Buzzfeed and tweets about social justice thinks the world works or should work. Jesus, how do people even play this shit now? I'm honestly surprised, the vampire goth subculture of the 90s was a pretty insular and very into that whole world, how the hell did that get taken over by the opposite demographic is beyond me.
12 years ago, they announced they would no longer develop TRPGs.
9 years ago, they got purchased by another computer games publisher.
6 years ago, they bit the wax tadpole, were formally dissolved, and all their production farmed out to woke contract labor. White Wolf no longer exists as a company; they're just IP owned by Paradox Interactive.

But how else are you gonna ban kids from using social media then?
It also includes regulating political speech, speech that could cause economic damage, speech in relation to elections, speech in relation to medical procedures and speech in relation to government policy.
Basically just the CCP's system. They already have the detention centers to take people that do a wrong think.
The far lefties are saying banning youth off social media will limit their access to the LGBTQCIA+.
Without social media, nobody will castrate themselves reeeeeee.

I still have my old VtM books somewhere.
As a Gangrel I used to perpetrate some of the most heinous shit.
I finished the game, and i even remember the last battle...but everything before that is a blank.

same, and that kind of shit is why I still primarily run AD&D 2. Sometimes I try 3.5, but I just dont like the new ones.
We thought about doing a Vampire game recently, its been so long, but after checking the new stuff I was just put off. Its actually kinda sad, I remember Vampire nights being pretty cool, and it was an awesome chance to meet chicks! and I'm talking the freaky Goth chicks at that! Girls didn't really like doing dnd, too icky nerdy for them, but man did they love the vampire games, and it was always like going to a holloween party, everyone dressed up and most regulars were goths. The thing is that group used to make fun of the type of people who seem to run the game now, the rich privileged preppy class. So its just weird how exactly the roles changed there.

Never.
Australia is too stupid.

When we found out how utterly shit 4th edition was we ran a bunch of 3.5 pathfinder hybrid campaigns.
I recommend it.

There was a VtM larping thing in Victoria for a while.
Man there were some fucking weird cunts going to that.

Would be fun to hear stories of that...
Basically a large amount of murder hobo stuff.
Always on the road.
Moving on before they found the bodies.
Or staying and creating more bodies.
I used to break the masquerade on a regular basis and the Camarilla sent people to hunt me down.

When your friend takes you to the cool underground VtM theme club they found called Hellfire but then it gets awkward when they ask for your safe word instead of your clan.
lmao, accurate, but I did have some fun times with some goth girls back in the day. i miss goth rock girls, they were a special breed. I just don't see any these days.
