Nice to see I was right about White Wolf's Big Announcement ™.

To which I say:

"Whatever"

Kiss your thoughts on the possible Kithbook: Boggan goodbye. All those Mage tradition books that aren't out? Not happening. Thought you might see House books for Demon? Hah. Right. The Mage convention books, of which ONLY Iteration X has been released? Not happening.

Like I said.

Whatever.

*sigh* I'm sad now, for many, many reasons. Among them are, yes, the ones you mentioned.

Also, I always at least half-wanted WW to leave the end times up to the STs, so that each person could have their own personal concept of what Gehenna was supposed to be. Interpreting the prophecies was a great deal of fun - that sudden flash of "what if?" was always wonderful. And now, they're taking that away from the players.

On a more personal note, I was, quite literally, just about to start my own Gehenna chronicle online, and this pisses me off. Now I'll be entirely ignoring and rewriting metaplot, since I was only minorly tweaking it to start with...

I personally don't feel the Cam is worth it regardless. I was only active in the Cam for a very short period, and I found the entire group and anal-retentiveness to be, frankly, ludicrous.

Apparently there will still be a WoD after all is said and done, but I suspect it's going to be a shell of what it was before.

Well, they did say that a new WoD will be arriving in 2004, so who knows.

My boyfriend made an interesting observation. After the original creator of the system left, and they started describing the Sabbat, rather than leaving them as the mysterious bad guys of Vampire, everything started going to hell.

I do not like game books that change the history of the setting unless you are moving towards a new edition of the game. Hence, most Vampire books annoy the fuck out of me.

Yuppers.

Well, that's disappointing. I don't care for the Vamps ... at all. I don't like what they did to the Mage setting. It's all so nihilistic.

I also don't like $25+ books for every whim they can come up with.

I look at it, decide to add it to my Mage collection or not. Nobody around here smart enough to play though. Tends to tick me off. You'd think in a college town it would be crawling with roleplayers but there is near zilch players.

Most of the people I game with actually never wound up in college. Or are just starting. It's really sad.
