  The vampires, probably.

    If there's no roleplay, it's just a bunch of people with big teeth.

  It’s just wild to me that a game straight out of a TTRPG is “light on RPG elements”.

  Character stats is just something DnD came up with and everyone goes “character stats = RPG”. DnD had character stats because Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson all played table top war games before creating DnD.

  Some of my favorite TTRPGs, don’t have character stats; looking at you Under the Autumn Strangely, Dread, 10 Candles, For the Queen, and that one game were I play tested characters playing Truth or Dare.

  At the end of the day, playing a TTRPG is about telling a story. If the Chinese Room can tell a great story with light character customization. I will take that.

    I don’t think I follow. Are you thinking that I’m saying Vampire needs character stats? Because I’m not.

    I just think a game based on a TTRPG—a concept built around putting role playing first and foremost—should probably be pretty strong on the role playing aspect.

    My brother in Christ, you’re the only one who even mentioned character stats.

  If it has a solid enough story, I’m probably fine with it. If you’ve ever played the TTRPG of Vampire, you probably know that it has always been the weakest point of the game, while the lore and stories of that world have always been the highlight.

    Dude, its yet another of these inner companion-along-for-the-ride games. Likely with the annoying snark and flippancy that goes with these backseat exposition-dumping secondary characters. Let’s say I’m doubtful of the results.
