Amazingly helpful "section" dividers

EVE Online is like Dwarf Fortress where reading stories about events is infinitely more fun than actually playing the game. 99.7% of playtime was tedious money grinding, logistics, and desperately searching for a good fight to get into with only 0.3% being getting CLOSE TO real fights. It was mostly blobbing to jump another party, who easily fled or stalled until they could get a bigger blob, back and forth and so on. You could try forcing a fight at player stations, but "POS warfare" was the most boring fucking "action" in the game.

I WAS ON WHITE WOLF STAFF during the events of this documentary. They drained White Wolf of writers first, and then pillaged the properties they’d held since the late 80s, and then they sold the husk to Paradox, who sold Masquerade to some French Nazis who immediately tried to anti-Wokify the most Woke game ever. Requiem was leased to Onyx Path, which was asking the writers to buy their own property back. Atlanta White Wolf people were then dragged and doxxed by the Nazis simply for existing, I have multiple friends who went into hiding (one just moved to Japan). I left prior to the breakup, but I was privy to a lot of the drama.

White Wolf was never managed well. They never knew what they had as far as IP goes, they were always trying to get movies made. The CCP MMO was total vaporware and nakedly so. Part of this was due to Blizzard making promises on the Warcraft TTRPG they had no intention of keeping, and while I focused on Requiem, we didn’t see that a certain class of player on Masquerade was ONLY there for the freedom to roleplay a sociopath, and ignored any of the narrative/satirical/moral points made in the text. Much like Warhammer 40k, the fact that vampires are not good guys was lost.

Yeah, that would do it.

Gave up on WoD around the time they ended the original version. Eventually sold those books when I was strapped for cash. The fact that I kept books for other games and not WoD tells you a lot.

Still have a pile of 10-siders, though.
