Anyone here actually play in or run a Vampire game of any sort before who can comment on whichever ruleset they used and how the game went? VTMR and VTMB made me think it might be fun to run a game of it potentially, but I don't know much about Storyteller systems in actual play. History interests me, so I'll probably go with the European dark age setting rather than the modern one. Sounds easier to run a player-centric sandbox game in, too.

The 2002 Dark Ages: Vampire seems to be the best edition from what I saw some oWoD grognards say looking into it for this, but I have no idea why it is apparently separate from Vampire: Dark Ages which sounds like it should be the same thing. Obviously I will ignore all the newer editions, everything past a certain date. But I was surprised to find out this dark age setting is not actually set in the dark age, but in the 13th century high Middle Ages, wtf? I don't know why it's even called that, then, but simple enough to dial it back at least a bit earlier to the 11th century after Tremere was created. Don't want to go further back when I'm not sure if it would mess anything up.

Catholics are surprisingly cool from the books I've looked at so far BTW, Catholic hunters in particular, which impresses me since I almost never see Christians portrayed attractively in anything. Seems religion and beliefs are surprisingly important to the dark age setting, for your character too. You get punished if you choose a religious road (or any other) and don't actually take your beliefs into account.

Most challenging part I am guessing is getting a good group of players together. Finding a good group and GM as player probably would be even harder, especially with the medieval setting where I wouldn't even bother trying if I wasn't running it.

It's ironic considering there are Gangrel who are literally vampires but werewolves.

The last good edition was 2nd edition. Revised was the "our players are having too much fun, we must force them to play emo self-loathing *******" edition.

Even make-believe satanism isn't healthy for you. You should tell @Stack of Turtles to get rid of those books.

I made no qualitative statement about the image just that it exists.
