People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
When I start a new game these days I give myself 3 in every stat, then pump the legit XP into the stuff I like.

When was this? Because just lol if you don't acquire the pdfs for free online nowadays!

Late-ish 90's I believe.

But lol if you bother with free pdfs even. Back in high school I played a little D&D for a year or so. I started buying the books, but quickly realized they're 90% unnecessary. I'd DM games and pretend to be consulting the charts and stuff for die rolls, but mostly I was just trying to tell an entertaining story while letting the players think that an element of random chance was effecting the game. RPG's work best as some kind of improv dinner theater where the participants think they have more control than they actually do.

*As long as the DM is a good story teller that can think on their feet and understand building tension and poo poo.

I never got into WoD, do they have a playbook for folks like me who go "gently caress these snowflake warwelfs/choculas" and let you play a drunken hick with a rocksalt shotgun?

I'm thinkin' anything between the ragtag bunch from Carpenter's Vampires or an actual government-funded gig like Xcom

nWoD did it better with Hunter: the Vigil though

it divides hunters up into 3 different "tiers" so you can do basically every type of mortal supernatural hunters, from soccer moms who find out that the undead exist and decide to do something about it up to X-files style government conspiracies and the Catholic church's Malleus Maleficarum plus a boatload more (i.e. a corporation trying to use the supernatural to get ahead in biotech, degenerate hedonists who hunt supernatural creatures for sport, social media reporters trying to expose the supernatural, etc.)

Bad rear end ancient vampire lord jumps a random guy in the desert, it turns out to be Jesus, cue long philosophical debate, vampire get's head turned inside out, converts to essentially Catholicism, purges childer for not knowing how to read and write Latin.

Cool thing about the music in the game was it was in regular old mp3 format ready to be used on any player you wanted.

I ran a Vampire campaign for about 3 years and it was way more fun than DnD because you had magic in a modern setting.

Now I run a Hunter game that is all about slaughtering a bunch of pissbitch vampires that all want to be the next Lestat.

Oh and the best clan is Nosferatu, duh.
Considering the curse can be anything you want, I like normal-looking Nos that do poo poo like make it feel like there are bugs crawling on your face if you are near them or always have a tiny trickle of blood oozing from some orifice.

Redemption was good. And they had a level-maker if you wanted to run campaigns for your nerd friends.
