Obsidian and VTM?

Post by AGustofWind »

So, I know that there are a few Obsidian team members that are ex-Troika, and that got me to thinking. Do you think we'll ever see another RPG based on VTM (or the new Requiem iteration), from Obsidian? I know, I know the first one sold horribly, but with many services offering games for download (like STEAM), and if they had a better marketing person on the project, I think a VTM RPG could sell reasonably well. Thoughts?

If you haven't heard, there is a WoD MMORPG in the works. It may launch as soon as this year.

If WhiteWolf is going to sell a Vampire license, it will be Requiem.
The problem is that the people with the most ridiculous ideas are always the people who are most certain of them.

An MMO? Someone save the vampires from an MMO! :rolleyes: Easiest way to end up with something incredibly bland and faceless.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

Everything must belong somewhere. MMOs for instance exist for a single purpose: to indefinitely detain those who belong to sit in front of a computer. After all, LARPing is an incredibly sad thing. ;)

Heh. Insert feeding tubes and hook 'em up for life. :D

Is it bad that I prefer bland and faceless alone, rather than augmented with "sparkly" and "mopey?" :D

In any case, we ARE going to see Vampire MMOs, and not just from what is said above -- I have heard disturbing news that there is a Twilight vampire MMO coming out, to my greatest displeasure, given that my disdain of that mar on literary history is and will always be malignant and ongoing...

WoW has vampires in it, I think. Well, they at least have lichs, which are closely related to vampires.
