I've contemplated a World of Darkness RPG on here. Thing is, I'm considering doing an Old World of Darkness RPG, centering mainly on Vampire and Mortals.

Thing is, there would be no Metaplot and have the feel of 1st Edition and early 2nd Edition, before the Metaplot and the later gamelines don't exist. Hunter: The Reckoning, Mummy: The Resurrection, Demon: The Fallen, and Orpheus tie into the Gehenna storyline, while Kindred of the East was just wretched in my opinion, so they are getting the cut. Certain elements of KOTE such as Demon Hunter X would be recognized, but Kuei-Jin would not be present.

However, Vampires and Mortals will definitely be in play, but all of the original gamelines(Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Wraith, and Changeling) would be recognized as canon, as well as the book The Hunters Hunted, which gives rules for mortal hunters such as the Inquisition, the NSA, and the Arcanum, as well as The Shih and Strike Force Zero modified into the context of The Hunters Hunted and Vampire, rather than Kindred of the East.

I may include a mechanics and stat system similar to VTM, and as for tone, well, it's not whiny angsty Goths bitching about their humanity, but it's also NOT mindless Nineties Anti-Heroes waving trenchcoats and katanas. It's somewhere in between, a happy middle ground if you will.

If this would not be preferred, we could do a New World of Darkness RPG.

nWOD Mages sucked big time, but its vampires were better.

If you're going nWOD, I'm gonna get a Deva vamp. If you're going the oWOD route, I'd like to get either a Verbena shaman or a Cult of Ecstacy mystic.

Ooh, I keep wanting to actually try out Wo D, but I can never find anyone to actually play it with. >.< My personal preference would be to play a Promethean, as they were always the ones that really interested me, but if you're going to stick with oWoD then I'd happily settle for playing a Malk. Well, either that or an Ananasi, but, um, yeah.

...Mind you, some of the Changeling stuff is pretty cool... And whilst Malks are easily the best bloodline, some of the others would be pretty fun to play... Um... Hmmm. I'll think about this, I guess.

The main focus will be Vampires and Mortals, Werewolves and Mages will be NPC's(For Now, though it may change if more people join).

However, I am working out a conversion of the rules to online format.

If Mages are non-playable, go with nWOD. tongue

Then New World of Darkness it is!

I think we will use the standard Five Clans and Covenants, though there will be sub-sects within the covenants.

Other splats such as Hunters and Changelings may be added later.

The Strix and VII are getting the axe, though Belial's Brood is still around as an enemy.

Ah, um... nWoD, then... All I really know about that (other than the quite frankly awesome stuff I've read from Promethean) is what I heard from disgruntled oWoD players who say it ruined vampires, werewolves and mages, but then I suppose I should probably take that with a pinch of salt. It'd be fun to try it out, at least.

Um... nWoD still has Malks, right? Because, um, I'm really not sure what bloodline other than Malks I'd actually play, ahah. Should probably look into that, I guess.

I'm also interested in this thing here.

Not sure what I want to play as yet, but that's not the point.

[up][up]There's a Ventrue bloodline that's pretty much the same.

I'm not sure on whether to go with a Circle of the Crone Daeva or a Carthian Nosferatu.
