I was leafing through my copy of World of Darkness this morning thinking about how much I liked system and how, especially, how much I enjoyed the core book. For such a slim volume, it really is excellent, and I've never regretted purchasing it. We're apt to wrap up the 'one shot' Mage game, which is actually more like three games because I've come to detest rushing things. It's always more fun to let the players come to the end at their own pace.
Anyhow, I was thinking, 'what is it I'd like to play?' when I came upon a quote in the book from an underground journalist.
Hunter S. Thompson is best known for being a drug aficionado and a representative of a weird, fundamentally proto-counter culture. But he engaged fully the political engines that roar across the United States, favored large firearms and ran with packs of wild Hell's Angels. He wrote sports editorials almost until he died or, rather, removed himself from play with so much debris across the table.
He was then promptly fired out of a cannon, out of defiance of both air pollution laws and Nixon himself.
"Man." I thought. "I want to play underground gonzo journalists in the World of Darkness."
That would be far out. I'd even play it 'straight'. Sure, the world is a terrible place, but at least my life would be interesting.
Huh. It looks like I have already created and used a Hunter s. Thompson tag for something. You never know with me, I guess.

Are you familiar with Over the Edge? It's an RPG heavily influenced by gonzo journalism and related culture.

And it reminds me, did you ever get into Transmetropolitan?
