plans for the inevitable undead uprising
Boro_Bandito:
and there are loooooots more for the new one already, even without things like Wraith and Demon and shit like that. There's gotta be 50 out already. but really, Can you blame White Wolf? Everyone wants to make money, and OWoD has been out for a long time, and there are a lot of fundamental changes to the NWoD to make it a completely different game series, its not just recycled trash. They've replaced a lot of the canon, taken out all metaplot and focused on being more of a toolset for Storytellers to make their own. The game is more focused towards smaller storyarcs that aren't quite as world spread, and I like the 5x5 splat(ex. 5 vampire clans/5 vampire covenants) they use for the three core supernaturals a lot more than what I've read and seen of the OWoD. There's no Apocalypses or impending Ascensions or anything like that. When they switched over to the new book they released more or less these endgame stories for the OWoD books, which ended the metaplot over the course of a couple years, so its not like they just left everyone high and dry with new rules.
A lot of people still play OWoD and you can still find the books in places like Drivethru RPG, and anyway, NWoD has Promethean now, which I really sorta want to play (Think Frankenstein's monster, and other similar creatures created by man in various myths)

Boro_Bandito:
Well...Yeah, they are. But they aren't emo without an explanation. Each one is explained ad nauseum within each book.
Okay, Maybe the vampire one is still a bit angsty emo
Alex C:
Yeah, my old group once played a short arc designed as a parody of WoD games set in the Shadowrun universe (this worked out out rather well, the settings and systems have a history). We called the campaign "Cyberzombie: The Existentialling." Best. Campaign. Ever.
Patrick:
Hey Vampires have a right to be emo okay they can NEVER FIND LOVE.
