Not really as you can just say the animist spirits were either created by humans via the Dreaming or they were created by the Elohim to run the universe.
Or the Elohim are just higher order spirits.

I would prefer the second because I feel the first would let to waaaaay much "elohim/luficer/god did it" for me.
I remenber that in one part of the lore it said how the universe become "fixed" which many interpretated as the separation of umbra, in a way what elohim taked about simultantios universe can be talked to that.

I've made a page for the Vampire: The Masquerade novels. I think it's a good start.

Oh, I've updated the V:TM 5E page.
- Moved a lot of the criticism of it to an independent Internet Backdraft page with some more entries.
- Updated the Crowning Moment Of Awesome entries.
I think the trivia needs to be done more.

I see you condensed my addition for Critical Research Failure, which I'm good with.
Sorry, should have asked with Discussion.
You did point out it made no damn sense to begin with.
Author of The Rules of Supervillainy, Cthulhu Armageddon, and United States of Monsters.
Yeah, basically there's a bunch of really obvious reasons that vampires wouldn't have problems with touch screens and I tried to list them all. I think you've narrowed it down while keeping the point of the argument intact: touch screen styli exist, and they aren't alive either.

Is it wrong that I don't like Vampire 5E at all?
The metaplot was always bad, but in the earlier editions it was a lot easier to ignore.
V20 was explicitly metaplot-neutral while the core materials of 1E and 2E had no metaplot to speak of and even Revised Edition (where most of the sweeping metaplot changes happened) was easy enough to play without the metaplot since most of the really drastic stuff like The Week of Nightmares was confined to the supplements.
I don't like the new mechanics and the less said about the "current year political issues" in V5, the better. The controversy over the Camarilla supplement in 2018 and the demise of White Wolf as a brand doesn't help matters either.
If you guys like 5E, cool by me. But I just feel like it was a failure and for me personally, a massive letdown.

I think pretty much everyone dislikes 5e.

From what I can gather, the one thing that the old-school fans like me and the polar opposite Onyx Path crowd can both agree on is that V5 is terrible.

Which version would you recommend in its stead?
"...in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach."
20th Anniversary seems to be the one everyone plays.
Captain of the Dead City
I'll admit that Vampire is pretty low on my list of roleplaying games to get around to playing at this point, but thanks, I'll certainly keep that in mind.

There's three interactive novels coming out for V5. The thing is that they'll be Choose your Own Adventure text for computers but make use of the V5 system. I think that's interesting but they should have been Visual Novels.

Didnt some book sugest the angels who become neutral int he whole god-luficer war become the first faere or something?
I mean is really hard to united the animistic cosmology of werewolf with the stricty abrahamic one of demon.
