yeah, just got roped in to go to one of my bosses'(the one I don't like) baby shower. Don't know how long it'll take, but I'll definitely either be late or straight up not make it.

GO ON WITHOUT ME

CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON

We'll assume you went partying with Mutt and Sarge and the Lord of the Night. With motorcycles and beer and good music and stuff.

got some surprise birthday stuff tomorrow, can't make it.

Which is a huge pain considering last session, but hey. Family takes precedent.

This allows me to actually neatly tie a few things up, well, a little neater than I'd have first expected.

I've read W20 and was so happy that it cut down on the stupid furry bullshit oWerewolf cultivated in many ways. It's still there, like any cancer would be, but they at least made the bullshit something I could withstand.

V20 I haven't read through fully yet, so I'll reserve my judgement on that.

On the whole I feel the nWoD is generally superior to the Old except in a few cases.

oMage=nMage
nWerewolf > oWerewolf
nVampire(Blood potency is far far better a system than generations)>oVamp
oWraith>Geist (as much as I love Geist, Wraith is better. 20th anniversary when?)
nChangeling>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>oChangeling
nMummy>oMummy
nDemon>oDemon
nHunter>oHunter

Avoiding the eastern cosmology differences with the nWoD was also a fucking move that should have been done in the first place. Beast Shifters of the East and Kindred of the East anyone? Plus no metaplot with the crazy bullshit that was thrown in .

I can be up for participating in or GMing a OWOD chronicle with little to none metaplot.

V20 is a streamlined version of older editions without metaplot bullshit. You don't need books that are being released as expansions, as it is stand alone and contains all clans, disciplines and bloodlines, but Hunters Hunted 2 is still a neat addition that I recommend buying. There are no crossovers with W20 in V20, really, but there is some mention in HH2 what are advantages and disadvantages of cooperating with Lupines to hunt down vampires. Also no bullshit like Imbued. Some hunters can have Numina, but these are nothing like "Hunters".

As for W20, I must say I like their Changing Breeds expansion. Beast Courts are still there, but now it is mentioned that actually many breeds in Asia don't even participate in it, so you can run Asian campaign without the Courts. Beast Courts with their organized, courtly feel are inferior IMO to Ahadi which are newly forged group of African shapeshifters that want to get the shit done in less organized way, forged in a war against a Simba warlord.

But I still poke fun at it being Werewolf: Weaboo Fightan Magic or Werewolf: Hakuna Matata. Screw that, I always mock the shit out of Werewolf, but like it nevertheless, I think it is being best run not seriously.

Wraith20 will be some time after M20, I guess. It seems the M20 is delayed because of proofreading and other extra works.

No shit, Detective. I have my own.

Honestly, who does that? Taking another person's PC, bloody crazy...
