I absolutely agree with you about the D&D stuff. I own the 5th edition and it seems to me that it has been stripped down and resembles AD&D 2nd edition more than any other. Of course it still uses the d20 system and incorporates elements of 3, 3.5 and 4 but it has the lighter feel and look of the 2nd. Personally, I liked 3 and 3.5 but only because of the newer classes and richer detail in the manuals. VTM reminded me of the Ravenloft campaign setting of D&D, which was my favorite setting aside from Forgotten Realms. I guess I miss the days of d3 - d100 and thac0's, lol.

Can't say much for the new stuff these days as I haven't gamed in about 10 years but I appreciate folks that know and love the RPG genre. The best D/GM's I've ever had were those that created their own campaigns and had a vivid imagination that was rich in detail. I used to be one but I NEVER did it outside of friends and I never was one to stick to the rules, much to the delight of my players, lol.

Nice chatting with you about this stuff man. It's rare to find someone these days that really knows about the "old school" RPG's I grew up with. Have a great day!
