There's a lot to like about VTDA. I do wish they'd had the courage to go earlier - actually get into the Dark Ages proper, and predate the rise of the Tremere and the Giovanni (presenting that as the fait accompli which it needs to be for the modern nights) - but it's a good line. My longest-running game was 2e VTDA, so there must be something in there that keeps me around.
Ravnos are one of those clans that I've mentally written off for years, because to me something like the Anda Gangrel works a hell of a lot better than, well, That Book and material in the same vein. I like where they ended up during Revised: the clan shattered by an apocalyptic event and trying to work out what the hell just happened. But I'd kinda like the sales pitch on the Ravnos from someone who goes as far into them as I do the Giovanni (who I've spent the last year trying to make more palatable and functional, with some success).
