I'm sorry, it's nothing personal, "Phil", I just gotta MST3K this
message.  By the way, for those of you that don't know what MST3K is,
it stands for the name of a show on Comedy Central -- Mystery Science
Theater 3000.  It's where a guy named Joel and a couple of robots spoof
lame old sci-fi and horror movies.  Anyway...on with the show!
Phil> Are you tired of roll-playing, weary of the limitations imposed
Phil> on creativity by often restrictive systems of numerical
Phil> statistics?
    Why, of course.  Are you psychic?  No, really, are you?  You know,
I'm always going around saying to myself, "I sure am weary of the
limitations imposed on creativity by restrictive systems of numerical
statistics!"
Phil> Do you prefer, or would you perhaps like to try, playing a
Phil> Vampire in a game where role-playing is all that matters?  No
Phil> dice, no statistics, just dark, atmospheric roleplaying in
Phil> modern-day London.
    Modern day???!!!
Phil> Yes.
    Wow!  You read my mind again!
Phil> Who really knows what lurks, hidden, in the sinister shadows of
Phil> darkness?  Who really knows what manner of dark horrors stalk the
Phil> night-time streets, unseen by all but the unlucky few?
    The Shadow (R) knows!
Phil> Maybe your character will visit this Plane, discover the dark,
Phil> forbidding fortresses that house things you may prefer not to
Phil> meet...
    Including the author of this ad!
Phil> In Vampire!  all manner of dark horrors exist.
    Even my brother's armpits are not exempt.
Phil> In Vampire!  you get to play one of them.
Phil> In Vampire!  all player characters start off as a newly created
Phil> vampire.
    In Vampire!  you get to repeat lame phrases like "in vampire!"
Phil> Both the character and the player know the same amount - which is
Phil> very little at first.
    And throughout the game, you will actually, through a miracle of
nature, LOSE knowledge!
Phil> Note, this game is NOT based on any of the available face-to-face
Phil> roleplaying games that are in existence.
    It is based on *other role playing games that are in existence!  :)
Phil> It was created from a genuine fascination with Vampires
Phil> and a vivid imagination.
    and the help of an official Apex (R) salesman.
