I generally use virtues to avoid frenzy, and otherwise ignore the moral degeneration aspect of the game, except in Dark Ages, as I prefer the Roads in that game as opposed to the Paths and Humanity in the main game.

Never was a fan of "personal horror" as a concept, I always preferred mystery, political intrigue, and yes, even modern action-adventure in my Vampire games.

I always run Masquerade as less "Personal Horror" and more "Black Lagoon with Fangs" or "The Sopranos with Fangs"....

Meh, I always thought the Humanity meter was a mistake. In my games, I always ignore it.

And it doesn't seem like the Touchstones in V5 will be any better.

V20 was good enough as it is, and had the benefit of being metaplot-neutral.

V5 seems like a case of "if it ain't broke, fix it until it is" with its strange new mechanics and the decision to continue the awful metaplot.

Of course, I am a noted fan of 1e and 2e, and I don't think Revised and V5 are good at all. But V20 was a nice middle ground.

I like the fact that I get to see my Dad for my birthday tomorrow.

I can definitely get behind this idea, I just sent my request to join the group a few minutes ago.

I do like the fact that Fallout 76 is going to be set in West Virginia. My Dad is from West Virginia and I have a lot of family there, and as someone from the Appalachian coalfields (granted, I'm from Virginia and not West Virginia), I am glad to see the region of central Appalachia represented in fiction, especially in a way that doesn't seem to rely too much on outdated hillbilly stereotypes.

Again, so far it looks good and I am excited for it, though I do accept the fact that it might not turn out so good due to being online-only (I'm more of a single-player guy myself) but for...

[Camilla]

I am so excited for Fallout 76 (even if it's online only) and even more excited for the remake of Resident Evil 2.

I've thought about getting back into D&D 3.5/Pathfinder after a long time in the OSR.

I still love Old-School D&D, but I started with 3.5 and I do sort of want to revisit my own roots in D&D and indeed RPG's in general.

Might even try to build a campaign setting for the Pathfinder or 3.5 rules.

[Camilla]

Is it weird that I want to do sort of a crossover of Digimon and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons?

[Camilla]

I hate Anarcho-Communism, it's an ideology that is incompatible with human nature in a long-term sense, and it is at best hopelessly naive and at worst tyranny through mob rule.

Of course, I hate all tyrannical ideologies. Fascism, Nazism, Communism, Anarchism, and Totalitarianism are disgusting and obsolete ideologies that firmly belong in the dustbin of history.

There, I said it.

Just beat Fallout: New Vegas for the umpteenth time. Did a Legion ending with a female Courier.

Also, I really want to run or play a military-themed tabletop RPG, something like RECON or Twilight 2000, or maybe a campaign using a generic system like GURPS or Big Eyes Small Mouth.

[Camilla]

I'm thinking of dusting off my old PS2, hooking it up to my small CRT TV and playing some Resident Evil 3 or Digimon World 2 for old time's sake.

[Camilla]

I love Resident Evil, especially the classic Resident Evil games for the original Playstation.

Don't care too much for the movies though.

[Camilla]

Currently reading both Blueholme Prentice Rules and White Box: Fantastic Medieval Adventuring Game and they are awesome!...

[Camilla]

I love Neon Genesis Evangelion

[Camilla]

Currently planning an old-school Vampire: The Requiem game, using only the 1E core rules.

I'm cool with 2E and all that (I still need to buy a copy of the 2E book though) but I want to invoke the old-school feel of 1E and its mechanics.

Gonna party like it's 2005!

[Camilla]

I feel similar, only in my case, I'm getting all nostalgic for Digimon, Sailor Moon, and army men toys....

[Camilla]

I hate the fact that GenCon decided to make Anita Sarkeesian their main guest of honor. But not for the reasons one would think.

Before anyone accuses me of being Pro-GamerGate (I'm NOT in support of GamerGate, BTW), allow me to explain why I don't like this.

Let's take the whole GamerGate controversy out of the equation. Also, let's take Sarkeesian's divisive opinions out of the equation as well.

Instead, let's ask ourselves "What does Anita Sarkeesian have to do with tabletop gaming?"

If this was a video game convention, I could understand...

[Camilla]

I am HYPED for Fallout 76 and can't wait to find out more about it.

[Camilla]

Time to get funky with some old-school 1970's Disco from the Bee Gees!

Bee Gees-Jive Talkin' (1975)



In a perfect world, the 70's would have ended with Punk going out of style and Disco surviving! (at least in my opinion, anyway)...

[Camilla]

And with this I am bowing out of the thread for the time being. I apologize if anyone was upset, but I've been really upset myself lately and I apologize if I took anything too far. It was not my intent, I just wanted to vent and I am afraid I may have stepped too far.
