How come the tabletop industry didn't capitalize on the vampire craze from a few years ago?
It did
7th edition Warhammer Vampire Counts were regarded as being one of the most overpowered armies, 2nd only to Chaos Daemons.

Wut? World of darkness dude, Tabletop games were one of the leaders of the teenage girl reverse necrophiliac rape fantasy market.
>>48069432
None of them look happy to be there
There was nothing to capitalize on. Only 0.1% of teenage girls would even consider playing tabletop.

I was going to make a joke about the majority of Twilight fans being at best only semi-literate but this is probably closer to the truth.
>>48069432
So much make-up and phoshopization.
>>48069432
the main "vampire" game basically had a meltdown over copyright ownership - almost as though some outside force wants to forever keep TTRPGs lowkey and unpopular.

And only half of those are cute
>>48069432
Basic white cunts don't play tabletop

The demographics don't intersect very well.
>thinks only teenage girls went for Twilight
>unaware of all the nerdy early-20-somethings that were schlicking to it in college
You guys need to get out more
>>48075247
I think the fact that those people exist and are already out there is proof that we don't.
>>48069432
Because the tabletop industry was immersed in the vampire craze back in the 90s during the "first" wave of vampire pop culture heralded by Anne Rice. By the time the Mormon-friendly Twilight series showed up World of Darkness was entrenched as the vampire RPG.

Twilight moms and the like were pretty fucking notorious, m8.
Problem was that they were still in the demographic that would bring out the torch and pitchfork if faced with anything /tg/ related.
>>48075247
>young professional women
>soccer moms
>grandmas too
It reached the entire female demographic, even a bit of the gay demographic as well
>>48075342
none of those play table top games in any real numbers.
The girls who did play table top games were the least reached demographic by Twilight.
Actual goth vampire loves already played Vampire and hate the movie.
Nerdier girls who played other games also hated the movie, and knew Vampire already existed.
There was nothing to 'capitalize' on. Women who would play table top games wouldn't play a Twilight game.
I bet you couldn't make a system based on Twilight anyway
>>48076746
Take any system you want.
Humans have the lowest of all possible stats and fail any rolls by default.
Werewolves and Vampires are your basic player characters. There are no other monsters.
Vampires also have a "power" that can be anything you can think off. Vampires are allowed to freeform anything related to that power.
>>48076865
To truly simulate the series, you'd have to make sure that anyone with a power has to chug a bottle of 40% or higher then bash their head against a wall before using it.
Unless that power is practically useless, of course, in which case everyone has to treat you like the second coming or the antichrist

>Humans have the lowest of all possible stats and fail any rolls by default.
that's just 3.pf though!and to be fair, that was just Bella's power to get knocked out the moment anything interesting happened, charlie and other humans could occasionally do things without putzing up like a lvl6 fighter
