There have always been different cultures in the hobby.

I've pretty much given up on WoD, now. As you said, too toxic - and I can't abide the nWoD. They stripped out the stuff I liked about oWoD and left nothing in its place.

I'm having a lot of fun on Road to Amber, though - the game's set up for people to do stuff and run stuff. Every character is Awesome, and players are trusted to (and expected to) negotiate like adults. It makes for an entirely different experience.

I like both n and o WoD, but I'm in the minority. I'm digging Sweetwater Crossing with Faraday. I may have to look at that Road to Amber. It sounds nifty. I'm not sure how I feel about Pern. Tried Star Wars a bit.

But yeah, there definitely seems to be something about WoD these days that's just ... toxic. I hate to throw the word around but that's about one of the best ways to sum it up.

Was skimming my inbox (after not logging in for like 2 months) and saw this. Something about the hobby just festers too easily and moves from hobby to habit.
