I bullied a Faerie and it's @EarthScorpion's fault for enabling me!
I accept none of the blame, but all of the credit.

I did not attempt to murder a faerie with a baseball bat. Primarily because I didn't catch it.
This is probably good for my health.

I tried so hard to get everyone involved with solving the mystery, but apparently that only happens when people get their cars ruined or fear for their families. 
But in all seriousness, the game was great fun. You all were amazing, and @EarthScorpion is a fantastic GM.

I've been taking a long break from WoD anything and when I finally get back to WoD, I take a look and see how insane everything has become.
All this headache-inducing political controversy over V5 makes me realize how much I miss V1 and Requiem.
I recently bought an old hard copy of the 1e Mage: The Awakening rules off of Amazon at long last, and when it is delivered, I can finally check it out. I'm really excited about this.
Right now, all I own for New WoD/Chronicles of Darkness is the 1e Main Corebook and the 1e corebooks for Requiem and Vigil. That and the fan PDF of the 1e rules for Princess: The Hopeful (AKA Pre-GMC rules)
After Mage, my next goals are to acquire Changeling: The Lost and Werewolf: The Forsaken.
Not sure about making the jump to 2e CofD or not, I might get 2e Requiem and just run it without the Strix, and apply a few fluff hacks. Same for 2e Awakening once I get familiar with its 1e predecessor.
But I have no interest in Demon: The Descent or Beast: The Primordial. Nothing wrong with those games, but the idea of the God-Machine does not appeal to me. Same goes for the concepts behind Beast.
Honestly, aside from Senshi: The Merchandising or nostalgic 1e and V20 games where the metaplot doesn't come into play, I'm sort of done with Classic WoD. These latest controversies and the resulting fallout from them are the last straw for me.
From now on, I'm sticking to New WoD/Chronicles of Darkness.

It's great. The party is basically just a group of 80s teen movie villains, including the queen bitch of high school, the jock who's a coward at heart and the weird brooding loner who's probably going to snap and try to take out the school a la JD from Heathers.
They only got involved in the plot when the plot involved itself with them. And so was uttered the immortal line:
"I saw what it can do. I saw what it did. And I'm going to kill it. It fucked up my car! It could do that to my other car! And other people!"

I'm still proud of that line.
Grab Mage 2e, even if you don't want to jump to 2e. The retooled magic system is good enough to put in the effort to back port it.
The mechanics is the only thing I have a vague interest in. Even trying to look aside the rescent controversies, the direction ParaWolf are taking the games sounds like a complete and total disaster.
Not that OP was perfect. Exalted 3E's mess comes to mind, along with a large chunk of the sourcebooks for 20th edition I've had the misfortune of reading. I'm actually surprised how they managed to make Pugmire and what I've read of W:tF 2E enjoyable.

I've got 99 quests, I've finished one
To be fair Vampire is a weird fit for Vampire, having gone from 'Vampires need to hide or get killed by hunters, can do an assortment of stuff that's powerful compared to a normal human.' To 'Vampire makes a good try at eating India, only gets killed after repeated nuclear strikes.'

Eh, that's just a generational power gap.
Antediluvians have always been bullshit, and once you get past the thirteenth generation, you've got to use special rules because your vampiric blood has run too thin.
