Faust wrote:My campaign is a bit bizarre. Essentially, I decided that I liked the new rule system, but did not prefer the new world. The d10 rules are much easier for players to learn, much more practical to apply, and are generally very balanced (take celerity for example; it's no longer any better than the other disciplines). So, we're using the VtR rules, while following the VtM storylines.
My major problem with the VtR world is that it lacks some of the intensity and mystery of the old world. Part of that it is because that world is still in development. Personally, I just really enjoy the apocalypticism, biblical mythology, and sect rivalry that pervades the old world. An inkling of it is still present in the new world, but it isn't as well fleshed out yet. The clans and sects have really been simplified, in a way I'm not thoroughly thrilled with. I like my Malkavians as a full and distinct clan, not some odd off shoot bloodlines. It basically feels like VtM lite to me.
Still, don't let me discourage you. The new world isn't *bad*, it just lacks the depth and development of the new world. And, quite frankly, the New Orleans setting they are coming out with now is making me contemplate switching. I'd encourage you to take a look at the VtR book and decide for yourself. White Wolf has also put together a really good (and comprehensive) full text adventure freely available on the web regarding the new system. I would encourage you to take a look at it. I really like the adventure and have been looking for effective ways to use it in my existing campaign.
