You know, as much as I look forward to the demise of the current shitstorm in many of the LARP venues, I can't really say that I look forward to the relaunch. I suspect a large part of this is a lack of information on my part, but another factor is that there is no longer any local game. The chapter folded some time ago, my Prestige records are very easily in Limbo (Not that I truly care about Prestige, but the thought of lost information bothers me more then the MC associated with it), and I haven't even gone in any of the IRC rooms in months. (not even OOC, which only seems to be slightly less infected with people I can't stand then the IC rooms).
My quandary: Should I care about the new WoD? I mean, sure, it sounds interesting in some small ways (like the possibility of no more goddamned Tremere), but given that I will not be able to play much, and probably only online, what real options exist for me?
I mean, let's face facts, I'm having more fun in City of Heros right now then I ever had in the limited cases of IRC play, and I suspect that the same IC behavior that I can't stand in IRC will continue to exist, regardless of the world rebooting.
The only possible character concept that I have so far is a paranormal investigator/conspiracy theorist mortal that really only works if I have a means of "publishing" his findings. (In this case, publishing is not limited to paper and ink. I would happily have an IC web-page detailing various conspiracy theories/fever dreams/Bigfoot sightings if I could find the cheap/free webspace to put it on. But I've looked, and if the ToS doesn't get me, the prices do.)
Hrm... am I going to be a spectator in the new WoD? Or quit altogether?
