I believed in them through every step of the process, despite some of their mishandlings of recent controversy, and I was ready to be in love with this game.Īfter reading through the core book, I am certain that we would have been better off without it. They have proven to be passionate, intelligent people who seem to want the best for this game line, and have the tools to give it to us. I have also had only the warmest, most genuine interactions with the staff at White Wolf so far. I remain an enormous fan of both editions of Requiem, but the idea of updating lore that has not evolved since the Long Night started to intrigue me. As hesitant as I was when this product was first announced, I let my mind go wild with the possibilities that more Masquerade could bring to the table. Both new and old incarnations, despite all of their ups and downs, have such vibrant and terrifying possibilities, that I will never be finished exploring them. The World of Darkness was my introduction to gaming, and remains my favorite setting for RPGs. This hurts me to say, but it has to be said. In its current state, and likely any that it will ever inhabit, this product is inadequate by any metric that you would use to judge it, and does not warrant attention, playtime, or financial support. Look, I had an intro ready to go that would lay out how Vampire the Masquerade changed gaming and, to a lesser extent, society when it came out, but this newest incarnation is such an offense to that legacy that I don’t want to waste time before I say the following: this is a bad game. It’s truly remarkable that they managed to mess this up so completely.
