imagine if skyrim was the most popular game of all time by an orderof magnitude and people caleld video games ‘skyrims’. and it cost ninety dollars and took up half the average computers hard drive. and then peoel would be on nexus being like ‘hi guys check out my farming sim skyrim mod’ and it just had you kiling draugr but on a farm. and people were like ‘yeah i think that you just cant do farm simulation in video games’ and if anyone brought up stardew valley theyd be like ‘okay well first of all its presumptuous to assume i can afford a second video game or have space for it on my hard drive. and Second of all when i play skyrim i just run back and forth around the towns picking up all the cabbages for seven hours on end so i don’t see why i’d need a whole game programmed to be about farming. i can play skyrim the way i want to. stop gatekeeping gaming.’ anyway thats what its like to like ttrpgs other than dungeons and dragons.

I don't really understand the metaphor in the post, but i really enjoyed Dimension 20 playing Vampire the Masquerade.

I am not liking Viva La Dirt League's Daggerheart - Beast Feast campaign though. So much focus on ingredients and trade and cooking. I think characters are more fun.

    I played so much VtM and werewolf in high school and college. It was way better than 3.5. I even liked playing a human mortal vs vampires. Tricky to do it right, but I could hold my own

    VtM absolutely requires a good group in order to have a good game, IMO. You can get by with a mediocre roleplaying group and still have fun playing something like D&D, or Pathfinder or LANCER, I think, but not so with WOD games. Roleplay IS the game.

    That kind of group is hard to find, in my experience, unless you manage to hunt down an existing VTM game and convince them to let you join.
