This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

For me, I must admit this has moved the new Vampire game from "who the fuck cares" to "well let's at least read the reviews".
I'm not interested in the premise anymore, but he's one of the few people who could actually manage to pull off the difficult feat of coming up with something interesting.

Ken Hite writes great games. Are they getting back to it being more of a Katana/Monster porn game or is it still going to be super smuggy?

Probably all written in the female pronoun... (Trail of Cthulhu)

WOD and Hite deserve eachother.

Bruce Baugh is throwing a hissy fit over it. I'm going to buy the game just because of that.

Any game involving secret conspiratorial history and Kenneth Hite is going get consideration from me. I don't know if I can ever see myself running a Vampire game, but maybe he can make it look appealing. It might have some fun background ideas to steal as well.

I really don't care about shit like how reading a book that isn't written in their prefered pronoun makes people like Omega suffer genitalia shrinkage from discomfort it causes to their fragile snowflake egos. Either it will be a useful book or it won't.

Some people just love to drag their identity politics into every conversation.

Vampire is too tied up in the 80s/90s zeitgeist, in a bad way, for me to be interested. There are many better systems for superheroes, politics and psychological horror. If I want to play vampires struggling to maintain their humanity, I have ready alternatives.

Didn't care enough to bother, but I'll click your link.

EDIT: Clicked it. I've never experienced any of the works listed. No opinion either direction. Thanks for the link.

Ken Hite raises my interest to non-zero. Still infinitesimally small, but now non-zero. I haven't played Vampire since they went from softcover to hardcover. I lost interest in it fairly quickly when it became D&D with fangs, but pretentious. These days I don't have a player group I would run it for, so why buy the game?

I'm not interested in "D&D with fangs, but pretentious" as Dave succinctly puts it. If I want to play a mass murdering psychopath, I already own a copy of Postal and its sequel Postal 2.
