[QUOTE="frankthedm, post: 2799788, member: 1164"] They used the same[more or less] rule sets until you got to the [B]deep[/B] back-story based rules [God in Heaven Vs. Gaia-Weaver-Wyrm Spirit world.] First was vampire, with glass jawed characters and werewolves mentioned as a distant threat. Then the werewolf game came out, more combat than vampire and incredibly tough characters other than the Achilles heel of silver. Then Mage came out as a thinky game with mortals that could reshape reality if the players could figure out the rules. Wraith was for those who really wanted a tragic character[I am guessing] and Changeling was good for those who liked Elysium style politicking, without being a bloodsucking leech [I am guessing]. Crossovers were popular with the fan base since the rules meshed really well, though characters from each game were [b]vastly[/b] different in power level. Officially the worlds were separate until WW started making dual/multi game books to make more money. oWoD Vampire: The masquerade [shhhh.. vampires don't exist] Werewolf: the Apocalypse. [The world is ending. Make Gaia’s foes suffer for their victory] Mage: the Ascension [Become as a god with reality at your whim] Wrath: The oblivion [you are dead but still haunt the world] Mummy: the something [be reincarnated to fight your foes through time] Changeling: The dreaming [The real world is trying to intrude on your Fae kingdom] Hunter: The Reckoning [Grab a shotgun, time for the mortals to get even] Demon: the Fallen [Why yes, the world IS going to hell] During the year this ruleset came out, WW encouraged stores to have a $6.66 sale on old books to get them to sell. nWoD Vampire: the requiem [looks like more of the same to me] Werewolf: the forsaken [I assume they are more along the power level of other nWoD characters] Mage: the awakening [no comment, yet] [/QUOTE]
