I dunno.
It might have aged better.
The Wheedon script doctoring and Reynolds banter maybe less so
It is. The Del Toro one.
It's ok, but immediately moves from street level Vampire hunter uncovers world shattering plot of Blade to an endless series of set piece fight sequences.
Like how John Wick 2 is a very different movie to John Wick.
The point is lost.
Watched Blade II last night.
Lads, it hasn't aged well.
We all love the "I like the wine, not the label" scene from Schitt's Creek, but are you aware of the "there is no right sandwich" scene from Malcolm in the Middle when both boys think the other is secretly gay and are trying their best to be supportive youtu.be/PMJybmR8ces?...

Average Joe's who fall into a bad situation.
Does ghost stories and mysteries that don't require overt violence to resolve really well.
The combat system is functional, but not the point.
Simplified skill list.
Fear Itself 2nd Edition β Pelgrane Press Ltd share.google/mnn2ZLeqMuz0...
Ok.
It's affordable.
It's a Gumshoe game designed for shorter horror and slasher genre games, but also does thriller and supernatural very well.
Original system was designed to be learnt and played within 15 minutes.

Liminal (probably your best option)
A World of Darkness hack (using the nuWoD rules)
Fear Itself from Pelgrane Press (I think this is a strong suggestion)
A Vaesen Mythic Britain and Ireland modern day hack (which would be Liminal YZE)

That's not bullshit, that's facts conflicting with your bias.
Paizo are and were complicit. The fact that they've moved to ORC after the second rug pull doesn't make them less so.
For a Paizo fan account, you really need to learn about their history.
They were a publisher producing D&D content using the OGL in monthly magazine format under licence to WotC.
Saying they weren't a tabletop publisher at the time is pretty naive.
