Only time I ever died first was in my first game where I totally overestimated the strength of a Garou and totally got my head ripped off. This is why I prefer more of the fighting classes for the Camarilla clans, but Lambrosa and Ravnos are not to be overlooked either.
I love role-playing games.

fair, we only played a handful of single shot games during downtime back in college in the late 90s. i enjoyed playing a Toreador because i could get away with making sarcastic comments about the other players actions and still be 'totally in character' hahaha. so all this extra fluff about the various houses and clans is just WAY over my head. i was more of a D&D nerd.
as for the social vs. mathematical aspect of PnP games i tend to prefer dice rolling as well, although i'm great at BS-ing too but you need a really good GM to be able to properly balance things within a group, seems to me you're more likely to roll a natural 20 with 2d6 than end up in a group with one of those. wouldn't mind trying to get into a paper group again someday though i always wanted to get a good Shadowrun campaign going but could never create a plot hook big enough to keep interest back in the day.
going back to digital games - anyone have an opinion on the recently announced 2K reboot of the X-Com games?
