>>44320968
Masquerade.
>>44320968
Requiem.
>>44321069
Newfag.
>>44321077
Well at least I don't have shit taste.

>Which traditional game system has the best rules for playing vampires?
It depends on what you wish to do. Can you give us some details?
>>44321123
Oh please, Requiem is complete cancer. At least Masquerade has genuinely interesting factions with motivations beyond "lol evil"
>>44320968
>best rules
GURPS
>>44320984
>>44321069
Masquerade had the better background
Requiem had the better rules
>>44321134

And OP asked for the best rules.
4e is the only system where you can play a triple vampire.
>>44321235
Do. Explain.
>>44321200
>Requiem had the better rules
As of 2ed it may be true. First edition was horrible.
>>44321249
In 4e there is a Vampire race, a Vampire class and a Vampire theme. You can technically take all of them and be a triple vampire. It's somewhat ridiculous.
>>44321256
how good is it though
>>44321256
You can also take the dhampir feat for more vampire
>>44321253
I'm madly in love with what they did for 2E.Tides me over the total fuck-up that'll be CtL 2E.
>>44321210
Okay. Requiem then.
>>44321280
Let's mot forget Revenant Shifter Vampire with Deva heritage for a Zombie Werewolf Vampire Nephilim.
>>44321265
Decent
>>44320968
Good-guy vamps or terror vamps?
>>44321200
>>44321155
Masquerade completely missed the atmosphere it was intending to go for though - it turned into vampire superheroes with no real horror, personal or otherwise. Which is exactly why a lot of people like it, but I prefer Requiem actually making an effort to humanise the Kindred and not go so over the top - it's impossible to take Masquerade seriously unless you're like a B-movie actor who's used to this shit.
>>44320968
Krul is cute.
The setting built around Requiem is dull as hell, boring, not as much room for conflict. Masquerade>Requiem on that alone, it's that uneven a strength.
That said, at least consider D&D third edition. There's a vampire template there, you can just slap that on everyone and have fantasy adventure.

>d&d 3e
>>44321579
I think you either have a shitty group or never played Masquerade like it was intended. It handles psychological horror and "no John, you are the monsters" in a way that's infinitely superior to Requiem.
>>44321285
why requiem
>>44320968
Double Cross
>>44322310
>why requiem
It is a game that solidly supports a number of play styles with -as far as ST system can at least- rather decent rules.
>>44322317
Oh DX. I'd love to play it one day.
>>44321681
The whole point of Requiem (and nWoD/CofD in general) is that its a sandbox/toolset for you to build your own intrigue and plot. If you find the setting "dull" and "boring" that's less a fault of the game and more likely you and your group not having an ounce of imagination and needing WW to spoonfeed you metaplot

Masquerade has rules for playing as a little vampire girl
>>44320968
DnD
>>44323646
i doubt that
Requiem 2e, rules to play most kinds of vampires you could wish for and if you're that butt-blasted that it's not the 90s anymore and casuals are ruining your games, then you can play Masquerade.
>>44324728
They have a child template.
>>44320968
FATEBut that's because there are no inherent rules for vampires but the system's designed to be modified by the DM to fit whatever he wants
>>44320968
Fate.
Also, that picture makes me think of periods.

>All the Covenants are at odds by default in VtR

>>44325036
where?
>>44326745
in VTM, being in the camarilla meant jack shit since you could come into conflict with anybody, even those of your own clan.

Op asked for BEST rules, not WORST.

Dungeons the Dragoning, as with everything.
