Player Seeking a Vampire: the Requiem game

I have a character I've wanted to play for sometime, but haven't been able to find a game. Would anybody out there be interested in running a Vampire game?

I have just started a free form fantasy that a vampire would be more than welcome in.

Sounds neat, but I'll take a pass, I'm looking for a game using the World of Darkness "Vampire: the Requiem" system specifically. Thanks for the offer, though. :-)

Already running too much, but my +1 and I would be interested in playing VtR again if a GM picked this request up and didn't use God-Machine Chronicle/VtR v.2.

Mm. After playing Second Edition a little, I gotta say not using it would be a dealbreaker for me. Hearing heartbeats, social influence that makes sense, every Discipline is ACTUALLY AMAZING LIKE OMG, I couldn't go back now.

So put me on the other side of that interest-wagon. :P

I personally don't like 2nd ed. The rules are solid, but the thematic aspect of it bothers me too much. I feel like they removed it too much from its roots, stripped away the goth-punk attitude and made it too post-modern, too clean, almost a little Twilight-esque. They stressed human/vampire contrast too heavily, and didn't focus on the secret world of the Kindred and the dark mysteries it hides.

I suppose all of that is inevitable, given that the Goth-punk wave from the mid 80s to early 2000s is over, but I feel that Vampire as a game is poorer for it.

Re: Player Seeking a Vampire: the Requiem game

I agree that goth-punk has been staked, but I wouldn't call it a post-modern direction: to me it feels like we're back to Dracula and Carmilla and Lestat, early Lestat, to a time before were-panthers and Anita Blake. Vampires aren't human is definitely a thing, but that's an old world thing to me.

I don't have a problem with v2 existing or people playing it, but I'm only interested in playing VtR if it's VtR. I have too many of the books and too much knowledge of the old set to mess about with the GMC re-writes.
