Really, I could see a CoD game working find on Ares; those things aren't necessary, they're actually usually just artifacts from the way MUs have been doing those games for so long, people think that if a new game lacks them, it's wrong. It's not.

Sure, but it all comes down to expectations. You can play WoD on Discord or a forum with no code whatsoever. There's been at least one Ares game that used WoD just with hand-crafted PDF sheets and the generic die roller.

Like I said - if all you want is a sheet and some roll commands or whatnot, it'll work just fine. It's only the immersive and PVP aspects that potentially are an obstacle, depending on what vision you have for the game.

Right. And I'm just saying that the more common vision people expect of the game now-a-days is less about the 'immersive and PVP aspects' which have almost always brought more bad than good, anyway.

Much like the OOC Masquerade was dropped.

It hasn't been the "common" experience I've had with people asking for help with WoD code for Ares, which is why I always bring it up as a caveat.

I vote INAPPROPRIATELY COMPLICATED, with +stealth/obfuscate and passive resistance rolls, an entire library of 'does character know about x?' to avoid Int 1 Occult 0 Politics 0 people who know everything about vampire society...

Or at the very least, absolute minimum... Mummy in the database by default.
