Hello everyone! I found this site in search of good pen & paper roleplaying games, and it seems that here I'll (maybe) be able to live out that dream I had about writing my own.

Have you ever yeard of Microlite20? The Honey-I-Shrunk-The-D20-System game? I think it's brilliant. However... D20 isn't my style.

I'd like to create a Microlite World of Darkness game. Vampire the Masquerade (or Vampire the Requiem) in a little bite-size and easy to digest morsel.

What are your thoughts? Mainly I want to minimise the stats and necessary rolls to make the game faster to play and more roleplaying- and story-focused, but I don't want to throw away the open-endedness of the WoD universe. I'm in love with the clans, their histories, and the dynamic drama that all the vampires (and werewolves and demons and such) deal with on a daily basis.

Obviously I can't clone WoD, nor do I want to. But I would love to capture its spirit and dark, gritty feel in a smaller system.

Thoughts?

Keep setting related rules

When you minimise the system, make sure to keep the rules that enhance the setting. Bloodline powers are a key example. Others such as drinking blood, surviving daylight and having minions are other good ones. It is rules such as these that help the players get in character and enforce the fact that they are vampires by having in-game benefits/consequences.

Otherwise, looking forward to seeing what else you do!
