95 responses total.

these are some of the best systems right now
and they are comming on strong in the market 
of RPG's, beating out AD&D by a long shot!! so if you do or 
do not like them we now have a place to talk about them!!

I know this sounds stupid, but is Jyhad an accurate game to Vampire:the
Masquerade?

RE#2: It provides an abstract view of the struggle between the great power
powers of the vampires.
My favorite of the bunch is Vampire. My least favorite is Werewolf, and the
others fall inbetween. I'm interested to see what they will do with  Changeling
this year (if they're still planning on releasing it this year). Mechanicas
wise they need some work, but concept wise the world they've created is rather
intrigiueing.

<Phreakus howls at the moon>

plork, i've played Jyhad, and i do not think it is very close to the masq
as for you matthew, i like werewolf most and mage least

if you get a good storyteller for any of these games, ask them to make you a 
good prelude, it helps make up your flaws and merits!!!
have fun!

One of the best Vampire games I've been in started the campaign with a
mini-adventure/story set about a year before the actual beginning of the
campaign. It grew into a 6 session  long story. The purpose, which it
accomplished very well, was to introduce the characters to eachother and
gice them some common backround with eachother.

kool

yes matthew you should start it about at least a month before so that the 
charicters know what they are like!

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Intermixing the three systems
is COOL if you can find a Storyteller who can pull it off.

my st pulls it off every time we play!!! we have a mage in a pack of
werewolf!!!

sorry never heard of it

drakey's here!

okay... somone mind explaining what the hack white wolf is?

kain, White Wolf is a gaming company that has realy cool games!!
you should go to your local bookstore and look for werewolf, mage, masqurade
wraith, and jyhad
they are much better than tsr's system

White Wolf is also the name of the magazine the same-named company.
Their claim to fame is the creation of a contempoaray horror genre
of games, all set in a somewhat darker drearier version of our world.
Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Wraith, Changeling (due out this summer) are
theri rpgs. They've got a LARP based on the Vampire game, and a ppile
of support/peripheral material : books, shirts, co-creation of the
card game Jyhad, short story anthologies.

Alright kool

You think YOUR pack is strange?? I have a 3rd (technically 4th) Rank Glass 
Walker Galliard/part-time Thuerge, Two mages(1 Cult of Ecstasy, 1 Akashic 
Brother), tow vampires (1 malkavian, 1 Gangrel), a Bastet Khan (weretiger)
a Fetish computer with an ego the size of a small galaxy, and the WEIRDEST
Net-Spider in existence. (His name is "Mike").

COOL!!!  i would like to play in your [ack, sounds like oyu have a soft
story teller!! :)

Well, according to me, the best system out, so far, for the world of darkness
is wraith Take it or leave it

Whatever ack!
/
oops

DOes anyone play LARPGS?

Live-Action RPGS?

i play minds-eye, if that is what you are talking about.
they have it for masqurade and werewolf.

what's that?

The Storyteller is weird, not soft. You mess up, you explode in new and
unusual ways, especially Mages.

YEZ! PYRO!

COOL!!!!!

kain mindes eye is live action, but it is put out by White Wolf, and
i hope you know a little about the company by now!!!

I'm playing at Elysium and I'm the Nosferatu Primogen member in Cairo.There is
also the Ventrue (Edouard       Bloomington),the Malkavian (Fredrich II Von
Stauffen),the Toreador (Adam),the Tremere (Gilles de Ray),the      Gangrel
(Merlin) and the Brujah (Appolon).I present myself, Armand du Plessi alilas
Richelieu.We've these      fucked Followers of Set in line of fire and the
usefull Assamites behind us.But there are many dark secrets around old mytic
Egypt(Magi like Eutanathos and Verbena but also the Nefandi,werwolves like
Silent Striders    and my friends,the Bone Gnawers,Mummies and Werebeasts like
Ratkin,Bubasti,...). Behind this there are so evil and powerful forces that are
trying to manipulate ours unlife.But slowly we are working to gain our
indepedance with the help and alliance of the other supernatural beeings of
this
 country.[3~
So I invite you to play this wonderful political game 

it would be easier to read if it were more readible!!! :)

Remember , White wolf also made the Street Fighter RPG,
The Most Useless Game Ever Made!

Street Fighter RPG?  Explain...

Oh Yea, i forgot, and it don't count anyway....THIS IS FOR GOOD GAMES!!!!

Setzer, trust me, YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
>>>phreakus

In my rpg club we've used the Street Fighter rules to play a Martial
Tournament.But using it for rpg is'nt possible, the scenarii are stupid and
there is  interest in playing such characters!

like i said, that game just don't count, if you bellive, it's true!!!!
oh well, if you have to belive in it, than i don't!!!

I've just tried the new cards game named RAGE. Like JYHAD, it's a wonderful 
game for WEREWOLF players. Gifts, rituals, moots, ... are present in the 
game. The art of the cards is good and the play is fun.

I still say they're mostly magic wanna-bes
