Kiedo Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 There was a text-based one quite a while ago, I forget what it was called, as for one in the future, I don't have a clue. Oh yeah, and Blood Omen 2 is utter crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 8 Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 well a good friend of mine knows a lot about these things... he does know a single player game like that: Vampire The masquerade: Redemption dont know if it is playable online. Thank Dark Sad Shadow for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 Wraith, you are completely off, as usual! V:tm:Redemption is an X-box only title, a vampire hunter beat'em up zombie hackfest, sort of. Only multiplayer is that you can play four players on the same console. There are Vampire: the Masquerade textbased online rpg sessions, for more info, go to White-Wolfs homepage. However, there's been no words of any intention to make a MMORPG as far as I know, and the storydriven setting focusing on the individual and his inner battles yadda yadda makes a very poor setting for a mmorpg, though I personally would enjoy it. Think... the possibilities! Play a wraith! And only be seen by others when you skinride! And have werewolf moots! Indeed, a White Wolf mmorpg would be sweet, but unlikely. And well, for OTHER vampire mmorpgs, tough luck. I do recall something about vampires being a playable race in the future in Horizons, but that's not what you are looking for, I guess.

Deft Aklin Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Unfortunately, most White Wolf games for PC and consoles have failed miserably. If only they put as much time into those games as they do their paper games. The history they have created is deep and immersive. Hopefully they will come out with something of good quality for this. They did have a VTM online game, but it was more like NWN and failed horribly. The controls and rules for powers made it handle like a Mack truck in a Cart series race. I'll stick to the pen and paper games. Anyway, I agree with you though Set, it would make a nice MMORPG, as I would love to RP out the inner turmoil....or lack thereof. Until then, there is always the Dark Gift MUSH. If you want directions to the aforementioned MUSH..... ...then go here and ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLordJoethe8 Posted March 3, 2003 Author Share Posted March 3, 2003 ok people thanks for some of the ideas:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Well, the main problem with WoD games is that they are not produced by the people who makes the excellent books, but by other companies. And well, the themes that work so great in a p&p game can fail terribly in a computer game. Hmm... a WOD mmorpg might be the sweetest game idea ever invented, if EVERYTHING in WOD was applied. It would have far more complexity than anything any of us can imagine, and thereby, it is impossible to do. But making a catholic vampire hunter while struggling with his faith, who spends two years looking for clues of vampire activity, getting killed by a ghoul, becoming a ghost and trying in vain to contact his mortal friends by skinriding while at the same time hiding from the horrors of the abyss and fanatics from the Heretics... yup, best gaming ever, SWG be damned. Having the realms from Mage, which is closely knit to the dreamlands of changelings and the Umbra... it would be so complex, so beautiful, so impossible. That's why it's so great that we have our imaginations, so we can play the game IRL as a p&p RPG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only multiplayer is that you can play four players on the same console. vampire the masquerade redemption is a PC game too, not just an X-box game, you can play it online in a multiplayer form i think or try to use the story they made, of a new brujah called christoff romuald born in the old prague and his beloved anezka (personally i don´t like it a lot cause I love more the tremeres ) there is a new X box game called exalted from white wolf, and what i´ve heard is that is a good game, i don´t like to play a lot of pc games, i don´t like it at all, at the moment i have a lot of games and I don´t have anyone installed in my computer. personally I prefer the American Mcgee´s Alice, tons of blood and you will never see Wonderland as you imagined before My opinion about RPGS? I prefer the tabletop or larps, PC games don´t let you use all your imagination and do what you want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Yes, American Mcgees Alice had a really cool setting. But well... Exalted, the p&p game, is not set in WoD, but in a high fantasy setting. So that is even more off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 OMG! This board is getting more and more insane! Just recently, our godmod himself admitted that he had the wrong date for an =A= members birthday, and now, setsuko was totally wrong! True! My head got all messed up, and I wrote about Hunter: the Reckoning, not Vampire: Redemption! Hahaha! Hunter: the Reckoning is the X-Box only zombieslaughter game, while Vampire: Redemption is muuuuch older, so old that I forgot it in our discussion. Although Redemption is also based mostly on combat, there's puzzles and stuff in it, and yes, you can drink the blood of innocent bystanders. But still not that much roleplaying. Oh, and another recent vampire game is Blood Rayne (also X-box only), where you not only drink truckloads of blood, you drink nazi blood! Though, that is an platform/action game, not RPG, but it deserves being mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trahern Valley Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 The Wayward is where I come from... http://wayward.dtcweb.com/ It's dragged down only by people who have busy Real Lives. Stuff like families and jobs, and so on. Of course these are often the fossils of our group, the Powers That Be, and their lack-of-presence is felt across the forums of the Sanctum Aeternum. Often in a good way. It sucks if one of them's your storyteller, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Sinn Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 WoD stands for World of Darkness, Helmet. It's the setting under which Vampire TM and the other gothic-horror genre books/games by White Wolf take place. VTM would make a great MMORPG, but I'd like to see it integrated with the Changeling: The Dreaming series, much like they did in the book "Pomegranites Full and Fine." What a fantastic mmorpg that would be... JS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trahern Valley Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 V:tM - Vampire: the Masquerade KotE - Kindred of the East W:tA - Werewolf: the Apocalypse M:tA - Mage: the Ascension C:tD - Changeling: the Dreaming H:tR - Hunter: the Reckoning W:tO - Wraith: the Oblivion All of these are WoD, and they would all go into a MMORPG if one was ever made. Assuming whoever was making it had any brains. Here's hoping they'd have Dark Ages servers too. There was something called WodMod a while back, not sure if it's still being toyed with, or played with. It was a mod to make Redemption more like the true V:tM, and add all the stuff the original game left out. Like Lasombra and their Obtenebration discipline. They never did get Arms of the Abyss right, though; and there's some stuff no amount of programming can prepare you for. The illusions cast by a Ravnos should only be limited by the player's imagination, not the game's software. If they ever do another, it should be about a Lasombra. The power to muck about with shadows would provide many opportunities for spectacular visual effects. Colouring wraith models black was so cheap of Nihilistic...

setsuko Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 You forgot Mummy: the Resurrection. Yes, it might be obscure, yes, few people play it, and yes, their powers are absurd ("you said WHAT about my momma? Now I'll rip you out of the existence of time, and EVERYTHING you've done and affected will be undone, as if you never existed in the first place!" <- they CAN do that), but the new Mummy book came out some years ago, so they are in WOD properly now. And Dark Ages would have to be more than another server, it would have to be another game. The clans/tribes/schools etc are totally different ("Giovanni vampires? You mean those sorcerors over there?" "doh!"), the powers are different, and... the entire surroundings would be different. Terrific, but different. EDIT: and please please please, can we get the game WITHOUT Kindreds of the East? Pleeeeease? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trahern Valley Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 <Ben-Affleck-voice> Dammit! Stupid mummies. All you have to do is tie a loose end to a bumper and drive away. And no, we can't. If we've got mummies, we're getting KotE too. You can't have a WoD without them, unless you're willing to alter the story of the Ravnos antediluvian's Final Death to exclude the Cathayans, which means he's killed only by the Technocracy with spirit nukes and sunlight reflected off of four sattelites...ew. Stupid technocracy. Not surprised we ignore them in the Wayward. Justin Achilli has much to answer for. Sci-fi just doesn't mesh well with goth horror. Just look at all the crappy movies. The Wayward version has just the one sun shining directly on the old fossil to finish him off. KotE good. Mummies bad. Vampires great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 There's always the technocracy, and there's always spirit nukes, for those time where you have to stop a plot hole! But frankly, I'd rather have spirit nukes than KotE. But then, I'd rather have a non-ash Baba Yaga who ate all those little Hong Kong movie wannabes.
