First, let me get this out of the way: I'm not a White Wolf gamer.  Nothing against it - I just don't play any White Wolf games.  When I was a freshman in high school, I played Vampire: the Masquerade for a few months.  It was pretty fun!  However, that was the last bit of RPGing I did before getting back into D&D a little less than two years ago.

Anydangway, one thing I DO know is that these games are super popular!  I mean, REALLY REALLY POPULAR.  Tons of supplements, tons of players, tons of different games.  Now, I'm not into the whole LARP thing, but I also know that a lot of White Wolf gaming (if not most - I seriously don't know) is done on tabletop.

Having said that, why is there never any discussion of White Wolf gaming on this site?  I saw someone post something about a Werewolf: the Apocalypse game on +1 Gaming's forums.  I would have posted this message on the White Wolf board on this site, but the permissions are set such that I can't start a topic.  Regardless, I'm sure it hasn't always been this way.  So why no posts?

tl;dr: I don't play White Wolf games.  However, they're very popular.  Still, no one on this board posts about them.  What's up with that?

I was rather surprised when I registered here that the White Wolf section was completely empty. Indeed it WAS a very popular system or at least the original Old World of Darkness was. The new system (Vampire the Requiem, Werewolf the Forsaken, etc.) doesn't seem to have gotten quite the same following or at least not in the circles I have played with. In all actuality, over the past decade, all of my roleplaying has been White Wolf (oWoD) and online at that (a friend runs a 24-hour IRC server dedicated to his game) so the White Wolf section was the first place I looked. I also recall perhaps 15 years ago that there was a moderately sized Mind's Eye Theater LARP running in New Orleans (and Hammond, and a little in Baton Rouge). Has it just lost popularity in NOLA?

There are some hidden areas for groups that are gaming to use and some of those games have been storyteller in the past.  People are still playing.

The LARP group is still active in New Orleans and they have their own forum that they don't use much so they don't post here.  Also, this board has gotten a little quiet since +1 gaming opened (gaming store in Metairie) and they have a forum.

I will try to get and post those two links for you later today.

Cool! Thanks!

Of course, they don't really post on their own forums either.   ;D
