I'm with you for the most part, but I do like the new WoD Changeling. I'm taking the time of all these new systems coming out to build up my Deadlands collection. :) I really, really like Deadlands. It too had a rewrite, then they realized people didn't like it much, and they started putting out old style Deadlands again.
Yeah, I look at the new WoD Changeling like that said "You know that really cool game we scrapped like dumbasses? Yeah...lets pick that back up" And I'm glad they did, it actually looked pretty cool.
But Deadlands...ah, Deadlands....I miss that game, I need to play good ol' Zachariah Lumas again...soon.
I've just about switched over my fantasy gaming to Burning Wheel. Check it out, it can be used for alot of different scenarios (everything from historically accurate Samurai, to Dune, to post apocalyptic America has been put together by folks) that you can build yourself. The combat system is really sweet.. both physical and social combat. But for me its all about the emotional magic.. when any game gives Elves a stat called 'grief', I'm in.
If you played WoD for the depression, check out a little game called Polaris. It's really innovative. And tragic. Really really tragic. And with a little tinkering, it could be Vampires too. But yeah, I bought Requiem to check it out. I agree they didn't make it different enough. I liked how they replaced generation with potency, but I'm right with you on the clans thing.
Good tip on the Shadowrun game.. I should check that out.
Burning Wheel, eh? Noted. I'll have to check that one out. I'll be running a Shadowrun 4th game soon, I'll let ya know how it goes, but yeah...it's been really well redone, I highly advise picking it up. And best part? It's still new..it's got like maybe five books out.
