I am a Mage; the Ascension dork. Love that game, and love the philosophy around consensus based reality. In my current game, I play a member of the Order of Hermes who is essentially becoming The Doctor. I also run a Hunter: the Reckoning game that meets every now and then. I am so mean to my players.
I cut my teeth on Vampire: the Masquerade waaaaaay back in the day, when I was but a young pup. Never got into Werewolf or Changeling in oWoD.
For New WoD, I just can't get behind Vampire or Mage. Well, I say that, but if someone started a New Wave Requiem game I'd jump in faster than you can say "Radical!" I tried to get into Geist: the Sin-Eaters, but the core book is an absolute mess, and with such little support I find the game to be absolutely unplayable. I disavow that Hunter: the Vigil even exists. The only nWoD game that I even like is Changeling: the Lost. Man, let me tell you about that game.
I got so into Changeling: the Lost it was kind of scary. I can't play it anymore. The whole premise of Changeling: the Lost is a great metaphor for what life is like for victims of abuse. As someone with PTSD, Changeling: the Lost was essentially a road map to my damage. I loved the game. Finally, it felt like there were other people who understood what I went through, and I was glad to have the game as a way of expressing and explaining myself. But, it got to the point where playing the game just wasn't healthy anymore. I couldn't keep opening the same old wound for the sake of fun. It had in fact stopped being fun after a while, and I just had to quit the game. I gave an out in the narrative, and haven't gone back. Fun game, really. Just... damn.
