Every player has their quirks. One guy takes 10 minuted every IP, one guy wants a storyless sandbox, or you've got a power gamer extraordinaire, or my great arch nemesis, the ex-White Wolf player *shudder*
Are you using the last one to describe the player-type that just basically wants a 'soap opera'-like game that's almost like walking into a high school drama class and has pretty much no combat (or really dice rolls at all)?
Pretty much. Especially common with young female gamers.
Just remember, that's not
all people who started out with World of Darkness! My first RPG was oWoD Vampire, and my table was nothing like that.
I played a Brujah that was a cross between an IRA Guerrilla and a Viking raider... hell, my table really resembled what I now know to be a good Runner team. Brujah "Heavy Weapons Troll", Gangrel "Melee Adept", Toreador "Face", Nosferatu "Hacker", and Malkavian "CanRay".
The one time someone (the Toreador) wanted to waste time on existential wangst, his character got dangled by her throat, off the roof of a skyscraper, until he/she (female character, male player) agreed to can it. I got regular doses of extra XP for "acting In-Character" because of stunts like that.
