I let a load of the expansions slip through my fingers last year at a show. £20 for the lot, and here's me buying two Rogue Trader Landraiders first instead of heading straight to that stall.
Ok I'd say that wasn't the worst decision I've made. =)
Also, just started reading over the revised edition. I've only ever played second with some third party rules, but its not coming off as too big a difference. ...I've only read the prologue however. XD
Wait, ALL of the OWoD books for £20?!
Not all, but a good chunk of them. I didn't have time to check. =(
I'm going to the same show on Saturday. I'm hoping that its as good for deals as it was last year. ...Two Rogue Trader Land Raider (basecoated)+ A Crusader (unbuilt) for £35 amongst other thinks like the old metal Bloodletters makes Wappinshaw my favorite show in the country. It'd only have been better if I'd picked up those books. =/
Oh, and I would have haggled that twenty quid. It doesn't matter if it was a great deal, its principle. This is the guy who bought a Landraider for a pound once. XD

Yup. Its a pretty decent show, and if it matters, is on on Satuday from 10 onswards (I'm leaving at 4 ^^). I surprised at how good the bring and buy was, and how large it was too. I love those things, so having a room and a half dedicated to them made me go "squee!" inside. For someone who doesn't go to the bigger shows, which I've heard are more dealer run, the second hand orientation of Falkirk was pretty satisfying. =)

Then Trollololol... I mean, sorry about that. =)
The first time I went I spent all of my time buying stuff actually. I wasn't told that there was a whole other area hidden behind the cafe. Thus I missed out on seeing the public gaming area until the last ten minutes. ...The gaming area that's the size of all the other rooms put together. ...
Still, I did come away with a lot of underpriced crap. ^^

I think Ive hit my first major glitch in the game. I got irritated and stopped playing so I dont know if a reload will just fix it. I was in the FU Syndicate building and going through the section where the weird fella is doing experiments on me. Everytime I ran into the room with the spinning blades it just doesnt do anything. The guy talks about me losing body parts, but the blades just sit there spinning but dont move at all...................so...... ideas??

Just had a look for Demon: the Fallen on Amazon and it's ludicrously expensive.

It's not their best work... at all... Hunter, on the other hand, was fairly well done.

Really? D:tF seems very interesting whereas Hunter didn't grab my attention at all. Aaaand after just watching the film Dogma I'm even more interested in playing D:tF...

I own all of the Demon books except for Fear to Tread, but including Days of Fire - which was awesome. Demon is pretty solid, but it seems like it needs the right crowd and some shoehorning to actually get people's goals to match up. Hunter was bad ass, don't get me wrong, but thematically I prefer Demon.
Oh, and yeah, that's not a glitch in the spinny blade room, it's just annoying - you have to shoot the control boxes behind the bars.

And soon you'll be done, and you can play it again as a Malky. It's going to be fun.

So I guess I am the only one that played Malk and found it not that satisfying?
I just felt that people seem way too oblivious to your way of talking. Yes, they often mention how weird you speak but that's not enough.
Your conversations was way more chaotic to be believable and kinda ruined the experience for me.

Bearing in mind that the game had little development time to begin with. Rewritting/adding a load of dialogue (and recording it) for one clan would be a bit of a far stretch. Though I doubt they would have seen much more if the developers had had a better schedule. =/

Sure, but they could make you less crazy sounding.
Not every Malk is weird, gibberish talking, ass crazy loonatic.
One of the most memorable characters from the game is a perfect example.

I agree. I tried doing the Malkavian thing on my second run through (after playing Tremere the first time) and didn't make it past the tutorial. I mean, the crazy dialogue is nice and all, but the character dialogue is identical to what they say if you're a normal character. It's just not as funny if you're babbling crazy gak and nobody cares about it.

Thaaat's not true. There's numerous minor changes to dialogue that has them noting how odd your character is and how strangely they word things, and how the eerily prophetic wordings often creep them out. A good example of this is talking to the bail bondsman who can hire you.
