My #VampireTheRequiem #VTR storytellers, have any of you tried substituting nature and demeanor from #VampireTheMasquerade #VTM for virtue and vice?

I'm Thinking about when I finally get to run a #vampire game, and I'm trying to decide which system to use, VTR 1e or VTM 2e or revised. There are things I like about both and some things I dislike.

#TTRPG players and GMs, what are you currently playing? What do you wish you were playing?

Currently running

- #Pathfinder 1e. Not a fan of the crunch, but it's for my wife
- Taking a short break from #MasksANewGeneration, a #PoweredByTheApocalypse #PBTA supers game but ready to dive back in to the GM seat at a moments notice
- #Trinity #Adventures game. Character creation was a headache compared to other #WOD #WorldOfDarkness games but the characters are fun
- Our #MonsterHearts2 game should be starting up again at some point

Wish I was playing
- #13thAge for the amount of say players get in world building
- #GURPS for the complete characters you get after creation, which CAN be a real chore
- #D6StarWars as it was one of the first games I played and I really like the system
- #CastlesAndCrusades #CNC for the old school style with modern sensibilities
- #VampireTheMasquerade or #VampireTheRequiem. I've got a #VTR campaign I want to run at some point, but I don't know if/when I'll get to it. A long term obsession I haven't had the chance to play in 15-20 some years at this point
- #StarTrek #LastUnicornGames. I like the way they handled life/career paths

Had another wonderful #Masks session last night. I've been setting up a murder mystery for the players to solve. It took months to get all the pieces into place.

They ran down the clues and are sure they've figured out who the murderer is. Next session will likely be confronting the suspect. Just need to decide in the moment if it needs a climactic battle, a heartfelt confession. or some combination of the two.

I had developed the plot, worked on making the suspect cast likeable and develop them as characters, drop clues, and make the whole thing feel logical.

I really like these #PBTA #PoweredByTheApocalypse games. They really push the mechanics out of the way and let me focus on telling the best narrative I can. This game has really helped me push my storycraft.

I'll be taking a brief sabbatical as a player, as one of the other players is kind enough to give me a little break. I've been running this for at least a year now and I have a second big campaign that's all me.
