Admittedly, my dice always hated me.

I was talking to my parents a few weeks ago, hearing of how the younger of my sisters' visit home had gone. My sister and her husband were kindly clearing out some of the accumulated stuff that had built up over the years in my parents' basement. My parents, being elderly and confirmed packrats, had built up quite the collection of ... well, "stuff ( Read more... )

OH MY GOD, YOU HAD ALL OF THOSE?!

*dies of jealousy*

(nod) Like I said, I had at least the core rulebook of everything on that list, and quite often several supplements, as well.

Dear gods. Think of how much you spent on all that! Or possibly, don't. Depending on your financial status at the moment.

Me, I only own some of the more important parts of Mage and a couple of Werewolf. 2nd edition, of course.

Okay, I'm going to have to ask this, now. Second Edition, or version 2.0? Since White Wolf released all of the original WoD stuff twice with MINOR revisions claiming them to be total updates... in one case at least, releasing the first edition of something when they had the second edition of it on their publishing schedule for the same year... and since they have now rebooted everything and call it 2.0... see why I'm asking ( ... )

Eww, no no no, not 2.0; that's an abomination. 2nd edition, the one they did after they used the public to beta test the original, which had huge problems. (Can you tell I'm a fan of 2nd edition?)

Oh, you mean where they reprinted all the perfectly good books, in many cases changing only the printing dates and the shade of the marble pictures on the covers, so they could make everyone pay for nearly the same material twice? (Can you tell I'm NOT a fan of 2nd Ed?)

I'll admit this much: Mage needed enough changes to warrant an errata book. The other changes were either so needless or minor, they could have been covered with a post on the Internet. That is, if WW actually gave a damn about its customers rather than doubling its money for the same product. (shrug)
