This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

To say I hate the themes and metaplot of Revised Edition oWoD (much of which was introduced by Achilli) is an understatement.

I thought there was some piece of RPG history I missed, but this? I wouldn't call that very Satanish. ;)

  Bear in mind, I am about as 'outside' the WoD as someone who started gaming in the 90s is likely to be. I've never played the games, I've never paid money for a single WoD book (I've gotten some PDFs as promos or giveaways at DTRPG), and while I've absorbed things through osmosis or browsing the books, I have no real knowledge of the deeper thematics and behind-the-scenes operations.

  In short, I have no grounds to bury or to praise Achilli and Ericsson. :)

Well, it's more along the lines of "Inquisition" rather than Satan, I think, but ya, oWoD never ceases to deliver something worthy of a complaint. ;)

Same here, same here. Well, kind of. I don't fancy newer/newest iterations of WoD, but it's more along the lines of rolling eyes and walking away, rather than actively fighting it...
