V20 still works today - The game and the original concepts are from the '90s but the V20 edition still feels very fresh.

get some space devoted to them and tons of pre-stated antagonists do much of the work for you. Even the other supernatural beings, Mages, Werewolves, etc. All the secret organizations and conspiracies are there.

V20 is all in one - The 500ish page tome is all you need to tell any kind of WoD story.

I've done all of these types of campaigns, sometimes all in the same campaign with the same characters.

V20 is very versatile - You can run it to run gritty, neonate survival stories ancient vampires plotting their next move in the Jihad or even super-heroes with fangs.

But that game, and the subsequent world of darkness line (sans Wraith, which is too dark for me) still compel me.Īnyway. I was never a huge vampire fiction fan (I mean I enjoyed Lost Boys, but that's about it).

I don't even really like horror as a genre. But I remember, on a whim, in a game shop in town, chancing a purchase on a game that should never have appealed to me. I have no good argument for that, there is absolutely no reason why Vampire shouldn't work today, nor am I suggesting otherwise. Perhaps it's nostalgia, but I can't help feeling Vampire is best enjoyed in the context of the early 90's when it first came out and the tech level, in particular, of then.

V5 has a terrible scattershot approach vomited pointlessly across several books and that is a real issue for me as a game consumer. V20 has pretty much everything in it: all the clans/bloodlines of old. I can't speak to how well it plays.Īnd then there's V20, by which I mean classic vampire. Didn't want to post this in the Imbued discussion but the convo about V5 made me think about my relationship with Vampire the Masquerade which, as a WoD, I'd like to get back into playing.somehow.(curse you plague!)
