One more cloud storage app to load on my tablet, I guess... Thanks!

One-Note finally failed me.
I have (had) a folder that I used for Moment of Truth development and would write scenarios in it. It somehow got corrupted and swallowed all the changes I made.
And hour's worth of work lost.

Oh nooooo!
Can you recover it from OneDrive directly?

I haven't looked into it, but a friend (who is much more tech savvy than I) said that you can recover all old iterations of a Note. It came up at my last Star Wars MtG game when I was having problems with OneNote on my phone and I thought I had lost everything. (we didn't have to do the actual recovery, though, so I'm not sure how it works).

So, did this delay your production of the next release of the MoT rules? Or are you saying it was just adventure scenarios you were writing for MoT? I've not played the system yet but I think it looked pretty cool last time I looked at it.
Regarding the GURPS V:tM supplements, I just received them in the mail yesterday. Once I am able to make a character with the V:tM 20 rule book, I will try the same within GURPS and see what I think. One thing is for sure - I like the 90's feel of it. This does not bode well for my avoidance of buying more GURPS supplements from the 3rd Ed days.

FWIW? GURPS 3E > GURPS 4E, IMHO. /runs away from Stu Venable

In what way? Not only are they largely similar, but the only downside I've seen with 4E GURPS is that if you're a fan of collecting the hardback books (as I am wont to do) many are pretty expensive to hunt down.

TBH I like the changes they put in 4e to downplay god-stats. 4e just hasn't had the time to accumulate as many sourcebooks.

The only major changes from my recollection are in character generation (flattening the stat costs, unifying mental and physicals skills to one cost table) and a change in ranged weapon accuracy. Other than that, they're practically the same).

I'm just sitting here trying to imagine how many points I would have used to create my 1940s-era vampire in GURPS. Then again, GURPS vamps already have a bazillion points.

I know that SJ Games put out a Zombies book, but I think they should have put out a dedicated vampire book instead*. Zombies may be a genre du jour, but there are a lot more possibilities, I would suspect, when building a vampire as a playable character. And to be honest, there's a LOT of variability given that you can have your choice of vampire lore. You can go through the canon of vampire mythology (garlic, transformation into a bat, the effects of a stake through the heart, etc.) and determine for yourself which things you want to hold true in your world. (BTW, how many points is Glittering Jizz? Asking for HyveMynd.) Vampire the Masquerade is a very interesting game to me. I'm not sure how much of my fascination with it is due to their specific codification of vampire lore—the existence of clans, for example, or establishment of a vampire social/political system—and how much is due to the mechanics of the game and whether they influence the feel of the setting itself. * Meaning a full-on premium book like they did for Zombies, rather than Blood Types.

And the fact that almost all the 3e books are compatible with 4e, with minor tweaking (and the 97% of each book that is the history of the topic and game ideas is compatible with every system).
