interest check for vampire: the masquerade

I got a hold of the V:TM deal on humble bundle, and now I have every single book from my favorite RPG in the 90's. anyone feel like playing vampires?

I would love to try it, though I don't own the rulebooks.

the 20th anniversary edition is on drivethru for $5.99

Best. game. ever.

I found this when I jumped onto Drive Thru. Does it have enough of the rules to create a character, or is the core book still needed? http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/55733/Vampire-The-Masquerade-Revised-Quickstart

should be good enough for a starter and a basic intro to the game

so that's tea and qralloq interested, right? any other takers?

I had just picked up this one and the werewolf one. Haven't read them yet so i would have to be taught the system.

I have seen some game of Vampire The requiem, are there a lot of change or is it the same thing?

Requiem and masquerade are both very, very different from one another. Having one wouldn't make you able to play the other.

The system is: roll your dice pool (ability + attribute), the difficulty is set by GM. Each die that hits or exceeds the difficulty number is a success, 1s cancel successes.

I remember someting like you reroll the 10?

No, that is new world of darkness, this is old world of darkness.

So I was right my friend were playing requiem and not masquerade. :)

right. masquerade has a lot more metagame to it and organizational structure.. whole lot more opportunity for politics. and if things start getting a little stale, I can always say "fuck it, the Sabbat attacks"

From what i heard of the game, that's the kind of game where you can put knife in your friend back.^^
The Gm had to write down the con of each party member to see the web of plot.

well, in my game, the players will have to cooperate. the younger vampires band together in coteries for safety. makes sense when your elders are super powerful monsters that never die

Just joined the site, never done Play by Post before, but I played VtM back in high school. Still looking for players?

I would love to try this, but I'm trying to dial back my PbP commitments right now. Kind of burned myself out back there. Is it a game I would need to keep looking up rules for? That would preclude me from playing on my phone and I possibly couldn't manage.

sure am!

since we have a couple of people interested and I know there are a lot of people currently at Gencon, I'm going to go ahead and create the game forum and see who all wants to join. I'll leave it open for a week or until we get at least 4 players.

the main time commitment is reading the lore and learning about vampire society. if you're already stretched too thin, learning a whole new system isn't going to do you any favors

here is the game. I want to run a game where the players are newly made (or mostly new) vampires still at the behest of their sires. I'm thinking about a pretty political game, not so heavy on the violence but big on shifting power and control and exerting influence on various portions of the city. the question is, do you gather all this power for your sire? or do you seek your own power in the city?

*raises hand*
*waves it around*
"Ooh! Pick me! Pick me!"

This is great. I've applied and I hope I got it in time.

Closing the game at 6 players. Didn't think we'd have so many people

I'm okay lore-wise, I've read a bunch of the novels and always liked the universe.

Oh, wow, that was fast! Have fun folks.
