Pardon my Geekery,
However, I've been thinking a lot about the ol' college days where I learned more about the world o' darkness than the real world. Demon hordes, end of the worlds, golden zepplins cruising through deep space....good times, man. Good times.
I don't disrespect the new WoD. It's ok, and from everything I've seen it does decent at doing what it sets out to do--a game of horror and degrading humanity. This was one large pillar of WoD, and I understand why they chose it. But I liked the other pillars better-the crazy conspiracies, supernatural things cruising through the night, all the "bad-wrong" fun that was in a world of monsters and magic with skyscrapers and streetlights.
The biggest change of them all from old to new is Changeling. Vamp, Werewolf, and Mage have gone through changes, but they're all the same thing. Changeling though went from "dreams walking through the real world" to "abused children with superpowers being hunted by some terrible bastard with magic and a wife-beater". Again--I see the point of the game, but that was never what I really wanted to play.
So, after chatting WAAAAAY too long on RPG.net about this, I've decided to fiddle with Changeling: the Dreaming. I'll be posting some of the work I do on here, so if you're interested, lemme know. If you have any ideas or comments, that's cool too. Because, I'm sure I've already had like eight million people check out this blog, as I am the first one to come up with the idea of "Writing things on the Internet". In fact, I'm gonna get a patent--I want a quarter everytime someone writes something down online!
More later.
