Vampire’s Future?

Wicked DeadSo, I’m looking at the upcoming Amazon releases from White Wolf, what I have and what I want.  I’m eagerly looking forward to new books for Werewolf and Mage.  Vampire?  /shrug

Now, I know the vampire content on this site might lead one to believe that I’m obsessed with vampire. I’m not.  I am very comfortable with vampire and very fond of it.  You might call it my natural default within the World of Darkness.  Not only am I comfortable with it mechanically but thematically and in terms of characters.  However, I look over my Vampire: The Requiem library and … well, its huge.  And while I’ve been happy with the quality I would be lying if I said that at least a few books within the last year or two didn’t feel a bit like they were stretching or filler.

I’m not accusing them of being twat and twaddle mind you, not at all.  Just a bit like they were trying.  Now, I’m looking forward to Wicked Dead.  It sounds good.  I don’t know what is planned for Vampire after that but I’m sure there are products on the board.  Its clear that Vampire has been very, very popular for White Wolf but I want to see some Werewolf and Mage books at this point.  I suppose I feel like I have a world of Vampires that is increasingly less dark, like we are peering into every corner already.  I’m not saying I won’t get interested in future Vampire books but I think White Wolf will have an increasingly hard sell on their hands.  I’m increasingly more interested in seeing the other parts of the World of Darkness which they have done and are doing good work with.
