Interest Checks - World of Darkness

Always one for a Mage game, I'd suggest going back to revised for a more consistent edition (IMHO).

Not 2e?

Also, any thoughts on Vampire cities? Is Chicago a classic or a old mare that needs to be put down out of its misery? There are a lot of cool places, but i'm feeling a bit unqualified to run the majority of them, mostly for cultural reasons.

Revised, imho obs, has the cleanest laid out rules before the over enthusiastic bloat of M20. Not so keen on the setting change, not sure why they keep wanting to make Mage a grubby street game but there you are!

For Vamp I'd pick somewhere like New York or San Diego, places people will know from other media and have an interesting story. It's either that or pick out one of the interesting setups from Beckett's.

I've always wanted to get more involved in one of these games, but I'm a literal neophyte with the veterans who use the lingo. I have no clue what people are talking about with all the edition discussion and decision-making (or lack of it) and various spectrums of play, because WoD has to split everything up. I'm mainly experienced in Vamp, and have a shotgun collection of material from across editions old and new and newer...and then setting counts, too.

I like WoD but seem perennially allergic to finding anything since it moved beyond me.
