Was your game?
White Wolf - Vampire Only World of Darkness with many characters from other sources (Wraith, Changeling, etc.) Non White Wolf
Was your game affiliated with one of the following "Shared Universe" organizations
No Affiliation Camarilla One World by Night Other (specify below) or specify:
If your game had an affiliation with a larger group, how did that affiliation affect the game I do not know It was a bad influence - caused problems It did not matter much at all It was a good influence, made the game better
If your campaign is currently affiliated with "The Camarilla" how would you prefer to see your group respond in the event that the current Camarilla leadership's restraining order against White Wolf Publishing, Inc. holding is not upheld? (note - this question makes no presumption of any specific outcome, but is a theoretical question based on one possible outcome). We are not a Camarilla affiliated group I am not sufficiently familiar with the issues to have a preference We would seek an affiliation with any successor group organized by the current Camarilla leadership We would seek a continued affiliation with the Camarilla, as it is operated by White Wolf We would seek some other shared universe affiliation Our group would drop any shared universe affiliation Our group would cease operation and not reform
How do you feel about White Wolf's actions to take control of the Camarilla organization I do not have any opinion I feel that White Wolf is acting wisely I feel that White Wolf is acting unwisely
