So, I'm looking at Swords & Wizardry and it's a good OSR clone. Basically, it's OD&D but with a few modern options like Ascending AC.

I always preferred the newer Ascending AC to the older Descending AC/THAC0 although the latter is not a deal breaker for me either.

I love Army Men, they are some of the coolest toys from my childhood!...

The Week of Nightmares was one of the absolute worst things to happen to the setting (along with the Avatar Storm and the Gangrel leaving the Camarilla) and it never happened in my games, the Ravnos are doing just fine and are a full clan. Fuck the haters and metaplot purists.

The Second Inquisition was the only thing from V5 worth redeeming and even then, I have to tweak it to make it work to my tastes and play style.

People who say that I should quit Vampire and play "Some Other Game" because I don't play the game the same way they do are really toxic and...

[Camilla]

I've said it once and I will say it again, but Revised was a highly overrated mistake and V5 was an even bigger mistake.

Personally, I'd like my V20 games to be more like First Edition and early Second Edition before everything got way out of hand, or basically Masquerade as it existed from 1991 to 1993.

Another unpopular opinion of mine is that I like crossovers not only with other splats but even other franchises like Street Fighter or fan games like Immortal: The Quickening (Highlander) and Senshi: The Merchandising (Sailor Moon, among other 90's anime), as well as...

I hate the Puritan roots of Thanksgiving and the fact that our culture glorifies the Puritans, when in truth, they were genocidal religious terrorists. Seriously, the Puritans (including the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock) were like the ISIS of the 1600's.

But I do love spending time and having dinner with my family, so I must admit I have mixed feelings about the recent holiday.

Technically we will be celebrating the holiday and having Thanksgiving dinner this Sunday since my mom had to work on Thanksgiving Day itself (she is a nurse and works night shift) and while I am...

I love Highlander! That movie was so boss it changed my life!

In The End, There Can Be Only One!

[Camilla]

I've thought about doing some creative exercises and build myself a new homebrew campaign setting for D&D.

[Camilla]

I love old-school pro wrestling, especially The Golden Era and The Attitude Era for WWE. I also like WCW, ECW, and Smoky Mountain Wrestling.

WOO!

I love classic rock (80's and 90's) and vintage rock (60's and 70's) music, it may be old but even the obscure forgotten stuff and the supposedly forgettable pop hits from those eras are a lot more enjoyable than the stuff of today, at least in my personal opinion.

[Camilla]

Here's some classic 80's and 90's rock!

The Sisters of Mercy-This Corrosion


Nirvana-Smells Like Teen Spirit


Siouxsie and the Banshees-Kiss Them For Me


Iron Maiden-Wasted Years

Requiem 2E is not bad per se, but I thought the mechanical changes like Touchstones and the like were a little too drastic and I did not care for the setting changes in 2E, although those were optional....

[Camilla]

I think I will relax, have a Pepsi and listen to some good old classic Country music to unwind and get my mind off of this whole debacle of a day I have been having....

[Camilla]

Losing my cool over political arguments in the various V5 threads, I feel like an idiot and I hate myself for getting so heated and angry about it....

[Camilla]

I feel like fucking shit today and I'm really starting to utterly hate myself.

I just can't take this anymore, I'm tearing myself apart and letting my anger get the better of me and I hate myself for it.

I'm sorry, I really am....

[Camilla]

I'm bowing out of this thread for the sake of my own mental well-being because I am sick to death of debating political bullshit.

[Camilla]

I'm just sick of debating politics in general like I've been doing all day. I need to take a fucking break from this madness for the sake of my own psychological and emotional well-being.

I'm bowing out of the political debate threads from now on, especially the ones regarding V5. It is not good for me on any level, emotionally or psychologically. I don't need this unnecessary stress over a game.

[Camilla]

I don't give a fuck what Jordan Peterson thinks. You've confused me for one of your strawmen.

Personally, I think Jordan Peterson is a loud-mouthed asshole. By the way, I am a liberal and a Social Democrat...

[Camilla]

Pretty much this.

I'm all for defending one's self if one is in immediate danger, but we should also remember an important thing.

In the long haul, peaceful resistance is most often more effective against tyranny than brute thuggery

I know I've been saying these sort of things a lot lately but people are forgetting this, despite the evidence found in the historical record. We need not be swept up in the madness and lose sight of common sense and common decency...

[Camilla]

I'll admit, I may have jumped the gun.

But it's hard for any game in that genre to top the awesomeness of Masquerade 1E and Requiem 1E, at least in my opinion.

Plus, I have not been impressed by other games that were Powered By The Apocalypse....

[Camilla]

Maybe, but when the people using violence to combat fascism (a tyrannical and murderous ideology that killed millions) also advocate for communism (another tyrannical and murderous ideology that also killed millions), I tend not to have sympathy for those people or their blatant hypocrisy.

The fascists of today are a pathetic fringe movement that is far removed from the fascists we fought in World War II.

Antifa are not the white hat heroes people make them out to be, they are a loose-knit disorganized confederation of violent communist and anarchist gangs, often with...
