I haven't actually played any of the Old or New World Of Darkness games, read the books and I haven't played any of the spin-off video games either. However, after coming across someone's _Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines_ Let's Play, I've been very interested in the universe and done a little research on it. If I knew a thing about tabletop gaming and had any friends who shared my interest, I would totally try for it but alas, I do not. 

So yeah, I'm not sure if you would accept a total newbie like me, but I'd certainly be interested either way.
