What people have said about Vampire: Undeath

VAMPIRE: UNDEATH

Greetings! My name is John Mascola. I have been in the role-play gaming hobby for almost thirty years now. Along this long and winding road, I have almost played every R.P.G. that one could imagine. Along that way, I have been blessed with amazing people who I have had the honor and privilege to play with many are my friends to this day. In the past decade, or so, the latest craze has either been Live Action Role Playing.

Live Action Role Playing, or LARP, has been considered as the pinnacle of roleplaying games. An average player could easily pretend to be someone else, namely a Vampire. White Wolf Game Studio has been the leading charge in the industry, their World of Darkness series of games which Vampire, Werewolf, and Mage consist even outsold Dungeons and Dragons for over a decade. Sadly though all good things come to an end.

Earlier in this century, White Wolf chose to change in its direction of all of their games. Sadly, many of us throughout the roleplaying community did not like this new direction with high prices for their games. It was almost in comparison to changing the original Coke-a-Cola formula to a new formula altogether. If you are old as I am, you would remember that. Many of us throughout the community were in the very same situation.

Many of us needed a LARP game that was far more realistic, darker, and more mature than the norm. A gentleman named Mykal Lakim, arrived to a great solution to this very problem: Start Over. He has taken it upon himself to create an LARP game that any person with no previous experience of roleplaying, could simply pick up at very little cost, read the very simple rules, and get playing.

I have been personally consulted as have many people have throughout the community to create a good game better. His Vampire Undeath series has been a breath of fresh air; simple yet elegant, practical and loose. There is a balance within this series which is almost unheard of in games today. Rules, Storyline, Game mechanics, characterization, all have been streamlined yet sleek enough to allow the player create the character what they want. A tank character or a brainy character, a seductress, the character creation rules are practically endless. Game play is a no brainer, for those who have been playing LARP games; one should easily understand a very streamlined system that does not take all night for a fight scene.

In closing, if you want a great alternative to the normal LARP game; THIS system is for you. Every serious consideration has been taken into account for roleplaying and getting back to the core of what it should be FUN. There is nothing complicated in having fun in what you are doing in anything in life. This game has been created for gamers by gamers and for the gamers. I congratulate Mr. Mykal Lakim in creating a successful game system to have by all. BRAVO !!!
