Blah blah blah, not pertinent to the discussion at hand.The whole point of VtM is introspection, personal horror, intrigue and "2deep4you" stuff, not brawling like an idiot with everything you come in contact with. If you wanna fuck around with mechanics and fight constantly, why not go for a Werewolf or a D&D game? Or if you're one of those people, you could run a.... Sabbath campaign.
I mean, like Junta said, if that's what tickles your fancy then whatever, but it's a bit pointless to do when games specifically tailor-made to cater to that already exist. Playing a Vampire game for its mechanics is like watching porn for the plot.
Also bloodlines was about sexy girls, stupid ambition and imbeciles trying to rebel. A lot of it was B movie shlock. You are one of those pretentious twits that fail to grasp the idea that PnP is suposed to be fun and interesting first, and that it being "proper" and "how the makers envisioned" is less important than bringing something to drink and ordering food before it gets too late.
Fucking shitposters man, all sizes and shapes i tell you.
Id say 1 in 100 vampires, if that many. Most vampire populations dont even get that high to guarrant one or two with a maxed discipline for their generation. Its not the point we are discussing here either tho. About 90% of the vampire population is literally trash.Yes, one in ten, if even that many. Nine out of ten end up eviscerated in under 6 seconds. I guess if you're running a campaign where your PC and his friends are super special snowflakes it works, but I'm not much of a fan of that trope when vidya already bombards you with it non-stop.
I'm not saying it's impossible to happen, just very, very unlikely.
The point is that werewolves have a real weakness and that a proper vampire can deal with them without resorting to ultra rare low generation ancient disciples to get the job done.
PS: The campaign i ran had my players trying to enjoy their last days on the world as prophecies were being fullfiled and they could all but feel the end being nigh. It was about fighting for their humanity, about surviving what was to come, coming to terms with who they were, letting go of their past lives, and not killing eachother in the process. But it was also shlocky, it had them travelling around the world, encountering all kinds of cainites, and even running into sethites, about discovering the world of darkness. And it was DMed and played by a bunch of high schoolers. It was great, and to this day remembered fondly by those guys.
Not that youd have a clue about it, as i was speaking from my experience as a player on my previous posts, not as a DM. I thought i made that clear, you pretentious cunt.
