Vampire:The Masquerade
Yes- it has a bad rep, many think it's silly or poserish because of the LARPers you sometimes see, and the occasional oddities it attracts.
But it's a good game when run by a decent DM, and well worth getting into- you want a game with violence? Vampire! You want a game with politics? Vampire! You want a game with intrigue and stealth? Vampire! You want to wander off and do as you wish, ignoring other players? Yes, even you can play vampire. Just not against a Malkavian, who'll take offense and do something nasty for ignoring him/her.
I'm Ventrue- the aristocratic, well-bred, thoroughly honourable and dignified clan. 6th Generation, highly placed in the Camarilla- our clan does lead it, after all- rich, mannerly, and incredibly manipulative and scheming. My boyfriend is a Gangrel, brute force and not much else (one hit kill, nice!).
Do you play? What clan are you?
And please say you play masquerade, not requiem... requiem took out half the good stuff, even if it does have an easier play system.
