It's really great, isn't it? True Blood really has me hooked in already.
(Funnily that is what we are doing in our home WoD campain. Right before the Apocalypse/Gehenna/Etc strikes we're having vampires coming 'out of the coffin', soon followed by the other supernatural creatures who can't hide much longer.)

Ooh. I've always wanted to do a WoD game kinda like that.

I've thought about running an alternate future kind of Mage game, where the Technocracy lost, and magic rules with the same sort of conspiracies, control and corruption the Techs once had. Technomancy and Science (with a capital S) would be suppressed. I haven't had a chance to develop the concept much, though.

In the last published books (the ones with the 'ending' games) some of the versions for, well, nearly every group in WoD was that everything came out in the open. Annoyingly NONE of the end books meshed well with another of the other ones. :-/ So we picked and chose our favourites, edited and re-wrote most of what we wanted so it all worked, and have an Apocalypse/Gehenna/Winter/Etc that we like. The only one we didn't work too hard on was Mage, only because we rped very few of them. (My husband didn't like how argueable most of their powers were, so often we just skipped them.)
BUT in the end Mage book a couple of the endings actually have everything sort of going haywire, the walls between the astral (and all other planes) weakening and everything supernatural coming into the light. This basically blows the technocracy away.

Well, I'm kinda hoping that Jason Stackhouse gets killed soon for his wild, reckless sexcapades. He's proven to be more and more despicable.

It's HBO, so there will probably be more raunchy sex to come. It's certainly not for the faint of heart as it is, but I'm so fascinated by the vampire, it has yet to annoy me.

Well in the books its just about Sookie and they really don't follow anyone else around so I am really wondering about what the show is like.I don't think Jason gets killed. I think he is really a werewolf. I haven't gotten far in the books so who knows.

Wasn't sure because I just red one book(really just most of one before I got bored) and didn't enjoy it much so I didn't continue the series. I was just going by what I got from the for shadowing.

Eh, they really aren't my thing. I was surprised really because normally I like that sort of book. It was an assortment of reasons other than subject matter. There was too much romance and sex as well as I didn't like Sookie much or the style of writing.Lord I can't take books that have a lot of relationship angst. I'm also not too interested in very long series. They get old after awhile but those are just my personal opinions on the book. I read enough about the other books to tell that it wasn't a series I should go further into. I don't have a lot of time so I'm really selective with my books.
