Hunter: The Reckoning sounds like the only WoD game I would actually want to play. No metaplot? No complex networks of paranormal society to negotiate? Shooting vampires and werewolves in the goddamn face? Seems good to me!

The first time I read Torg's "guns don't work in some realities because reasons", that just made me think "Wait, so basic chemical reactions don't occur in that reality? Wouldn't that mean life evolved on a completely different path, if it even appeared at all?" Shouldn't the gun just cease to exist (since it hasn't been conceived in that reality) rather than not work?

Whereas from what I've heard about Paranoia 5, it's too complicated and just painfully unfunny.
The art alone put me off Paranoia 5 even before reading it. Third-rate student union newsletter cartoons - that's the style you're going for? Really?

If I were DMing 5e, one of the first things I'd do would be houserule away that stupid "short rest equals one hour" thing. Five minutes after a fight and you've cleaned the gore off your sword, got your breath back and are good to go.

I think a big problem with the perception of Williams and TSR is that most the other principal actors are these mythologized gaming icons. Gary Gygax is held up on a pedestal even though he made terrible business choices and most likely spent most of his time during the Hollywood period using TSR money on hookers and blow.
Any time some grog goes on about how great Gygax was, I think about that edition of Dragon (editorially independent from the rest of TSR, honest! :v: ) which he used as a bully pulpit to spend 3000 words tearing into the fanzines of a couple of random guys who said mean things about his company. Professional, he wasn't; it was the kind of rant a teenager would have done given a soapbox and no editorial control, only he was in his forties.
