I managed to sell both of the Scion books and two of my Exalted books.  That only leaves me with oMage 2e, oMage 3e, nMage, and most of Exalted 2e.

White Wolf is releasing Hunter: the Vigil.  The players play as mortals clued in to all the weird stuff in the World of Darkness, who have chosen to stand against it (basically).  It’s a great concept, because the characters can be played as completely mortal.  There’s even a fundamentalist group, the Longest Night, who exists to fight off the spiritual possession endemic in “monsters.”  This is actually something that I might be OK playing.  But I’ll never know, because I can’t get anyone to play with me!

It’s not all bad, though.  Recently, we hung out with some friends from church, and we got to play some games: Citadels and Blue Moon.  Wanted to play Blue Moon City, but Mrs.A rightly convinced me against that before our friends showed up.

It comes back (again) to the question of “why”: Why do I keep looking at the books?

I read them and hold onto them because I have pictures in my head, of scenarios to run, characters to play, etc., but I’m not willing to let anyone else do it.

I posted “Squirrelly Joe” for Candlewick Manor at the end of a previous post.  That seemed to work pretty well, to get my mind off of that game.  Let’s see how it does for other games, too. (more…)
