Vampire: The wretching.

Friday, March 12th, 2010

White Wolf is selling pdf files dirt cheap right now, so I finally broke down and picked up Vampire: the Requiem.

Wow. It’s like they took everything I hated from the old books, threw away the game crushing meta plot, and over-exaggerated every remaining unplayable element. The core purpose of the remaining game is to pretend you’re talking in some bar.

I’m 33 years old. Old enough to drink. There’s a goth bar in town where I can do that for real. It’s even called Elysium.

I’m just glad I didn’t pay full price.
