[QUOTE="mhacdebhandia, post: 3617792, member: 18832"] One of the things [b]I[/b] really like about the new World of Darkness is the focus on local politics. Sure, the covenants/tribes/orders/[i]et cetera[/i] exist all around the world, but there's a lot more variety. Instead of rival Camarilla cities which might both be frightened of the Sabbat city in the next state, you have five different covenants which might control a city and then further division between cities controlled by the same covenant. [i]City of the Damned: New Orleans[/i] has a [b]very[/b] different Lancea Sanctum to that found in [i]World of Darkness: Chicago[/i]. Likewise, each city's respective Circle of the Crone is quite different, as well - informed by local elements, especially in the case of New Orleans. Yet, in each case, it's straightforward that both instances of the Lancea Sanctum have more in common with each other - and belong to the same widespread covenant - than either has with either instance of the Circle of the Crone, and vice-versa. This means that each city is familiar, yet different. That's important - to me, most of the old World of Darkness's cities were much more similar, and not in a good way. [/QUOTE]
