I love Reno but to me it's the same, there is no driving force to lead story.
I'm just starting to have fun on Reno. But I'll say this: it was work. I've rarely seen a game so newbie unfriendly. Finding RP was near impossible to begin with. It's still difficult with the majority of the player base.
So after the WoD game I was on kind of died (for all intents and purposes), I looked around for another game and logged on here as a guest.
Almost instantly, several people greeted me. Something that doesn't happen on the existing WoD games I checked out. They offered helped and when I asked about the possibility of playing there without having read the books, one of them sent me to a wiki page with a list of links that would catch me up quickly. The same list Sunny posted here.
Yes, it was her as I found out when I asked. We talked and it turned out her IC brother was a perfect fit for me. I've had a ton of fun so far and most of it hasn't been with her. The players are friendly and eager to RP even with strangers. Another thing that seems anathema to WoD games lately.
So play here. It's fun.
I am definitely not going to click that link. No way in hell. But I'll just say that torturing animals is a benchmark for sociopaths on their way to humans.
So I thought I'd give the place a shot. And while I'm hanging around reading post and news files, who should show up but a bit named Custodius.
Just to add another thought to the fire (so to speak)...
Islam started in 610, just about 1400 years ago. Now look at what was happening with Christianity in the year 1400. Bet lots of people considered the Church a religion of hate then too. And some still are.

Anything with magic.
Edit: And no horses. Bonus points if the equines have been wiped off the face of the Earth.
Dragon-horses. All horses have become dragon-horses.
So My Little Dragon Pony.
A couple things.
Regular RP. If I'm not playing him, I lose interest. This not only applies once the character is approved but before. If I create the character then have to wait for the game to open or there's an excessive wait time on approval, forget it.
But most important, the character has to come alive. His reactions have to come naturally. If I need to think about them and be the puppet master, the character doesn't work and I get bored. That's not play, that's work. For the record, that's not always a good thing. Sometimes the only natural reaction is something I'd prefer to not have happen. I can sometimes tweak it but to change it means changing the character/
It's the culture of this particular game. Pern has no XP. Crystal Singer games had no XP. Most supers games have no XP. WoD? Not only expects XP but expects it fast. I'm not even sure what I'd spend 200 XP on.
I tabeltopped before there was an internet. The list of games is legion but encompasses D&D in at least a dozen settings/incarnations, Space Opera, Rifts, Gurps, Champions, V&V, WoD and more.

In an attempt to answer @TNP's original question, there are at least 2 games opening in January of 2016.
So there's only those 3 open right now?
What's out there? Which are decent? Specifically for Werewolf?
I know of:
Fallcoast
Reno
Eldritch
Are there others?
Dear @tragedyjones.
I'm a relatively young Ventrue who was Embraced during college. None of my friends know I died or that I'm now a creature of the night. They think I just disappeared for a few years due to a breakdown from stress (I was pre law). I still maintain contact with them for dinner and theatre dates and they don't have a clue.
My problem is that now we're in our thirties, they're starting to get married. I've already had to miss three weddings because they were scheduled for noon. My coterie says I should just break ties with them but I don't want to do that.
My question is this: a fourth friend just got engaged and they're setting the date. Should I dominate them into an evening ceremony or just resign myself to another missed wedding? Do I still need to buy a wedding gift for them if I'm not going?
Asleep During Daytime
Search for reviews of that particular place. Check the BBB.
I'm kind of curious though... With all the gyms, both large and small, available why pick one where you have to be convinced it's a good idea to go to? It sounds like the latest fad diet. Anything will work so long as you do it.
So the next question would be, can they import an nWoD cgen into their game from someone else's? And how easy would it be for them to write one from scratch (which, granted, is not easy for Mux code either or more people would do it).
I really haven't read through this thread. I'm only a very basic coder and have no real interest in learning more. But I do have one question/comment.
Right now, literally anyone can open their own Mux and run a game. Some basic commands that are out there, build a grid, done. Cgen has always been the biggest hurdle but I once played on a game where character sheets were posted to a webpage and weren't on the game. They could also be put into a basic ¬e of some sort if you wanted. Or you could borrow someone's existing cgen and tweak it to fit your system. You didn't have to be a great coder. It didn't have to be efficient or elegant. It just had to work. But the point is, you could make a game for any genre you wanted.
With Evennia, it sound like you need to be a semi-professional programmer/game developer to make a game. And if that's the case, the hobby dies because it's built on amateur hobbyists enthusing about their favorite genre/game system/book.
So is this the case or can any GoT fanboy decide to take Evennia, install it, (and for the sake of argument borrow an existing cgen) and open a game within a a couple months?

I like the Five Pillars, because they are high level not to devolve the entire process into petty minutiae, as what tends to happen when people are more concerned with enforcing rules than using the rules to enable gameplay.
You should post them. I don't remember what they are and they're not on this site yet.
