      I kinda wanna get back into ttrpgs or as we used to call them in my day pen and paper RPGs because we had computers but none of all the fancy stuff to run them online.

      Also you should check out Matryoshka. Its premise is basically KGB X-Files. You are paranormal investigators in the soviet union during the cold war confronting cosmic horrors. There is also a podcast where the creator runs a campaign called The Red Game Table and it is phenomenal.

            This unironically sounds incredibly kickass, and has the potential to turn into a buddy-comedy where the vamp and the wolf are always at each other’s throats and the mage is the tired babysitter just trying to keep them both alive until the operation is finished

            As a long time WOD fan I’d be completely down to play a game that involves entirely different rule books for each character. I think the interplay of mage and vampire magic would be super cool to explore. I think it would be very funny to try and sneak a Garou into a vampire meetup under the guise of being a shitty Gangrel. I think a determined and pissed off Mage is an extremely high quality companion during a blood hunt.

            Unfortunately, actually pulling this game off would require near encyclopedic knowledge of like five books from all players, and would require a near superhuman effort from the GM, and I don’t have three other friends that are as autistic about this as I am.

              It sounds great, but in practice it really doesn’t work. It’s not just the vastly different power levels, it’s the vastly different scope of the threats each splat is facing. In Vampire your main concern is internal and external politics. Meanwhile Werewolves are in an all out war with Cthulhu, and Mages are battling an enemy that routinely rewrites reality itself. These things are not compatible.

              It was a desperate attempt to create some level of compatibility that lead to New WOD, but that didn’t really solve the problem and in the process it destroyed most of what made the individual splats interesting in the first place.

              You’re better off with something like Dresden Files if that’s the kind of game you’re looking to run. WOD isn’t really set up for it.

                  I have a long running DnD 5e game tonight, and on Fridays I’m running DC20 (which is similar heroic fantasy, currently in beta but still lots of fun)

                        I’m a fan of the Palladium games, much more of the universes than the system, especially Rifts, after the bomb & TMNT, and beyond the supernatural

                        If I could find players for them I’d be running three or four games. Sadly I only have players for one, currently playing Rifts, but switching over to turtles once the Kickstarter new versions arrive

                          If it is, then I’ve only seen the worst uses of it. That’s the first I’ve heard of it being like that intentionally.

                              As someone who tried to run a 4/5 Hunter: The Reckoning-1/5 Mage: The Ascension, as bad ass as it sounds it is an absolute nightmare to run.

                                Ah, yes. The system where you need multiple "session 0"s to get those character sheets in order. Also, there’s a suspicious lack of Robotech in that list. 😉

                                  RIFTS has a certain “Je ne sais quoi” that you really can’t get in other games, even Savage RIFTS doesn’t do it. It’s this horror game masquerading as a power fantasy where the mechanics are as hard to handle as the in game tech but with the right GM it’s a masterpiece of high powered insanity.

                                          Yeah, I figured there wouldn’t be. Still, awesome, I hope you all had a great time with the awakenings.
