Which one you think it's the best?

I like a lot Werewolf: The Apocalypse, in fact, my nickname is inspired in a race of shapeshifters, the Corax.

I like all of the old World of Darkness systems. Hunter The Reckoning, Mage the Ascension, Werewolf, and vampire the Masquarade. although my favorite was playing as a member of the shapeshifter race, the mokole. Run around as an 800 pound half-dinosaur half-dragon battle tank.

I loved Vampire the Masquerade, didn't really did the move towards goth (as opposed to punk) that Requiem took. Demon: The Fallen is my favourite source book but I've only ever used demons as supporting characters.

Before the new Hunter book came out I ran a loosely defined Hunter campaign just using the World of Darkness book. The up to date rules are wonderful to use (being a bit of a games systems freak).

Well, I've played only one of the WoD games so far, Vampire: The Masquerade- Bloodlines for the pc.....

A buggy game, but absolutely fantastic (a Malkavian vampire with two personalities: a femme fatale and a businesswoman in one undead body.....Talk about some interesting dialogue......)

Oh, and I've never played any of the pen-and-paper stuff....

Wraith, Mage, Changeling, Vampire, Werewolf...in that order.

Hated the reboot as it's just drifted back to the old ways.

Still love my Sniper Caitiff. 15 dice to hit, TN-2, calls de-caps. Yeah, so I had to take Dark Fate and Feeding Restriction : The Dying.

Wraith, I think, is really under-rated. It has some really cool concepts and the atmosphere is great. Changeling is cool, but I think it's low popularity is rather justified. But I think Vampire is my least favorite, whereas it's probably most people's fave.

that's the ones my group plays once in a blue moon; I couldn't tell you why, but i was just in love with mage the ascension... never used force sphere but matter/prime and time/correspondence can be abused so easily...
top 2 moments in my gaming history with mage:
I weaken the metal used in the helicopter's blades...
it landed (crashed) on top of a HIT mark V
and
used time to shoot a pistol faster and corr. to have unlimited ammo (some paradox) but a rather feral warewolf didn't think i'd be able to kill him with out silver...

but now we just stick to d&d 3.5 the others hated how op world of darkness got compared to d&d ><
HIT mark V vs adult black dragon skeleton & cleric of nerul... and im playing a rogue :(

I just posted in another thread about how I reference this game too much, and now someone's gone and given me the perfect opportunity to reference it again. 'Tis fantastic, to be sure.

I always liked the art in all of the books, and even the ideas I didn't agree with really seemed full of potential. But I never played pen-and-paper, and sad to admit it, it was because everyone I've ever known who played it was rather abrasive and took it way, way, WAY too seriously. But again, that's unfortunate because it looked like a lot of fun, and the PC version of it certainly was.

Quieche Eater the Masquerade. No, seriously, real men don't eat quieche, they solve their problems with longswords and fireballs.

Its a real shame that Troika games went out of business right when Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines came out. It was a brilliant game and it would have been cool to see what could be done with a concept like that if they made another up to standards with the upcoming Fallout 3 or some such.

Seriously.

What I wouldn't give for a sequel to VTM. Oh what I would give :(

How about some bug fixes and a proper final chapter for the VTM: Bloodlines first?

So far, I think my favorite is either Promethean: The Created and/or Changeling: The Lost. I like Promethean's inversion of the WoD formula, where instead of playing a human that becomes a monster, you play a monster becomes human. I like Changeling because of the depth and intricacies of Changeling society and the threats and boons that await them. Overall though, I am enjoying the nWoD reboot. It's not so bad once you try it.

The new version of Changeling sounds pretty cool. I like how it's more similar to the actual old concept of changelings, people stolen by the fair folk.

They didn't have to mess with my Werewolf, though...

I beg to differ. Werewolves were WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too powerful in Apocalypse. So much so that if a starting character werewolf looked at something menacingly, the victim would take an automatic 5 unsoakable aggravated damage (I know, it's an exaggeration, but it's a joke, too)! Come to think of it, everything supernatural in the original WoD was astonishingly powerful at character creation. Perhaps it was too easy for players to power-game, thus the ST had to be a bit of a dick just to give his troupe a challenge which I think makes compelling story-telling difficult.
