From what I understand, running a WoD campaign that involves more than one "race" (vampire, werewolf, changeling, mage, slayer, etc) requires a lot of imagination, but it can be done. It might be pretty overwhelming without a DM who has some experience with multiple campaign types though, never mind the players. I would be fine playing with just vampires for the sake of simplicity, although I believe that finding reasons for kindred of multiple clans to work together without quickly turning on each other can also be difficult; Brujah and Ventrue are both popular clans, and they generally HATE each other.

Really, whether it's multiple clans or multiple races, I think the most important thing is to have everyone work towards a common, long-term goal. Another possibility is having everyone start off as human, perhaps even as friends or associates. That might sound a little cliche, but at least it gives a good reason why they don't just immediately revert to being natural enemies and attempt to kill each other. I'm just spit balling though, so don't mind me too much lol.

I've never played Vtm proper, but I do have some experience with the video games, bloodlines especially. I really appreciate the kitchen sink approach it takes to vampire lore, where just about every possible interpretation of vampires is represented in one way or another. I would also be open to the possibility of a more inclusive world of darkness campaign, if certain players would prefer not to play vampires. What little knowledge I do have of world of darkness is from old world of darkness, though I'd be willing to try learning either that or new world of darkness.

Given the pandemic, my schedule is mostly free right now, so I can arrange to play just about any day of the week. I mostly play dnd 3.5 with my one irl play group, but I've been trying to convince them to play everything from world of darkness to various versions of GURPS for years. I love dnd, warts and all, but still really wouldn't mind trying something new.

@Azero25: The pandemic makes it harder to form a group irl right now, but there are plenty of online communities as well. I personally don't care all that much for 5th edition, but it's easier to pick up and play than 3.5 or older editions - 4th edition is imo fun and by far the easiest to learn, but it plays VERY differently from other versions. You could also try pathfinder, which is fundamentally similar to 3.5, albeit (arguably) more refined and balanced overall.

@wsedoiugly: they are all from the capcom arcade beat 'em up, DnD: Shadows over Mystara. Every playable character has two distinct sprite models you can choose between, as well as a default name for each of the two sprites. Lucia is one of the elf character models, while Moriah and Shannon are the default names for the thief class models. Some people argue it's one of the best capcom arcade games ever, to which I agree. Yuri would have made it even better lol.

After spending some time with basic troubleshooting, I was able to confirm some things:

1) the issue seems to be unaffected by browser choice

2) the issue is directly tied to the status of my account, as logging out allows you to see the home page and recent releases without a problem

3) after removing ALL entries from my white list, I am able to see everything as normal

4) ADDING an entry to my white list ensures that ONLY chapters with that tag will appear, with multiple white list tags likewise ensuring that only chapters with ALL white listed tags will appear

5) it seems to be the case that there was no chapter on the site that included all 5 of my white listed tags, which would explain why I was not seeing any recent releases, period

So, in conclusion, it seems as if I might have simply been mistaken on the exact purpose of white listed tags, particularly when used in conjunction with one another? I suppose it might have helped to mention earlier that I had multiple white listed tags, but it honestly took me a while to conclude that I might have just been confused about the whole thing.

On the off-chance that anyone thinks there might still possibly be a technical issue involved, please let me know if there is anything else I can do to confirm or dismiss it.

Thanks for your time and sorry for any hassle I might have caused.

EXTRA: One thing that does still confuse me somewhat, is the fact that the white listed tags did not interfere with the "featured" or "random" chapters, nor recent images or even "most popular of the past 7 days." If this is intentional site design, alright, but it's honestly hard to tell.

The entries on my black list are: guro, vore, bestiality, furry and scat (on a side note, being able to have more than 5 entries on the black list would be pretty nice, if only so I could also include a few other colorful tags like "urethral insertion" xD). I tried removing yuri from my white list just to see if somehow some wires had gotten crossed, but it didn't seem to matter.

Thanks for looking into it, I'll let you know if anything changes.

Not sure if anyone really cares, but I've included some screenshots of my issues below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My issue is exactly what it says on the tin. Was just wondering if there might be a specific reason for this or if anyone else might be currently experiencing the same problem. The problem might have occurred before or after I added items to my black and white lists, or upon having changed the entries in my "lists" tab from private to public, but I really have no idea. Considering I put "yuri" on my white list though, for this site of all sites, it doesn't seem to make much sense that now I'd be seeing nothing at all. Will update if this changes, hopefully just a momentary hiccup.

Maybe I'm just not used to these inception style plots, but that ending leaves me scratching my head. Not even sure WHAT kind of ending it is, exactly, be it "good," bad or something else entirely. And though the last page says "end" and the manga status is "completed," other websites are claiming that there might be two other chapters which haven't been translated yet? That might just be some kind of common error in record keeping, but given this is a Dowman Sayman work, I really wouldn't be shocked if somehow "end" wasn't "the end."

Just read this story for the first time, and i gotta say that I concur with KawaiiSuika; some of you people who commented here are legitimately disturbed individuals, and the fact that the few people who tried to call you out got bludgeoned down by the rest of the community is rather distressing.

"Expecting someone to wash the dishes after you feed them is equivalent to asking them for sex! Totally not creepy, it's a reasonable request! Sex has no real significance at all, so by implication you should just get over sexual coercion and/or assault! It's really no different than having someone take the last bit of cake out of the fridge, after all! And if you DO become traumatized by sexual assault/coercion or rape...just ask your assailant to mow your lawn in exchange!"

At least the author understood what kind of story she was writing and didn't go on some stupid fucking diatribe trying to justify how her characters' actions are totally acceptable in the real world. The fact that some people will hate on NTR simply for being a melodrama featuring adultery but then turn around and try to completely white wash sexual coercion in another one of the author's stories is just frigging baffling. Not gonna name names, but some of you are gross and probably should never be left in a position of power over someone you are attracted to. Seriously

I would pay premium price for a copy if this idea ever got made into a volume or even a one-shot.

Yuri is probably the only thing that could make me love Black Lagoon more than I already do.
The Shojo style is gravy.

Some of us don't just fire and forget, we actually take a little time to make our text presentable.

Seriously.
