Jesus H. tapdancing Christ on a pogo stick, what the gently caress happened to White Wolf? Let me address this from the perspective of a crusty old gamer. In the 70's, there came D&D. D&D was awesome, but it carried the stigma of being a game for nerds. Now, we all know that D&D players weren't all socially awkward geeks, but still, we hid the Monster Manual under our textbooks when the jocks walked by. In the 80's D&D and it's bazillion offshoots became somewhat more mainstream, but the aroma of nerdiness still lingered. Then came the 90's, and White Wolf came on the scene... and they were actually cool. No loving elves and dwarves saying "Merry meet, sirrah!" but vampires, werewolves, and badass mages wearing mirrorshades. At the gaming store I wasted my twenties hanging out in, there was a WW group meeting every night, and they all had a waiting list. Best of all was the live action, which you pretty much had to be friends with the store owners to have a chance of getting in. Suddenly, gamers were the cool kids. And now... WTF??? Topless necromancers? Rape spells? The latest Exalted is written blatantly to pander to 300lb spergs who have never said anything to a real, live girl other than "are you going to finish those nachos?" What the hell happened?
