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.

Tomorrow, we're starting module 5 of 6 of my #Pathfinder #RiseOfTheRunelords campaign. I never imagined I'd get this far through it when we started.

It's got me thinking about my gaming white whales.

I'd love to get to play #VampireTheMasquerade again at some point, but more likely, I'll be running #VampireTheRequiem

I'd love to go back and run some #AdvancedDungeonsAndDragons modules like the #Dragonlance #WarOfTheLance or the original #Ravenloft or things like that using #ADD2e or #CastlesAndCrusades.

#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

I really want to play a 1e #VampireTheRequiem game where I start as a mortal and let the #Storyteller decide which clan would embrace the character and play within those bounds, just as a real person would in that situation.

The #Pathfinder game yesterday went much better than the #Masks game on Friday.

On Friday, I gave the players two days in game to prepare to intercept a theft of several 3d printers instead of pushing them to the action right away. The campaign is of my own design.

Their decisions threw me off and there was a lot of OOC chatter that slowed everything down. I wasn't satisfied with how the game went.

Pathfinder is a published module.They were laser focused, to the point that they bypassed the main "dungeon" again to get to the boss first, but it worked out well. I dropped some more story exposition and pushed a lot of the campaign on.

I need to get my head wrapped around running my own original material better before I do the #VampireTheRequiem game I really want to run (since I can't find anyone running #Vampire around here).

I'm really feeling comfortable as our go to group #TTRPG #GM. We had a great #Pathfinder game last night. Next session, they investigate the terrors at Foxglove manor.

I really feel like I'm hitting my stride at the gaming table. Sure, I'd love to have someone run for me. I'd kill to play #VampireTheMasquerade or #VampireTheRequiem instead of running Requiem myself, but I'm also genuinely enjoying running the entertainment for everyone.
