[QUOTE="sophist, post: 4384180, member: 15148"] I think Changeling is by far the best of the new World of Darkness. It returns a sense of wonder and beauty to the not wholly human that Vampire and Werewolf so sorely missed. I also feel that the bashing old the old WoD is only based on specialized experience, as the "problems" explained were never relevant to the games I was in. We enjoyed the bold ideas of the old WoD, and never need a nerfed system to enforce game balance. The nWoD is also more moralistic and manichean than the old ever was. Deviate from the human norm and become a monster, a lesser thing, cursed, to be ahorred.:erm: And all this talk of the soul suffuses the WoD with more Judeo-Christian Ideology than any Caine-Myth could ever do. (but to discuss this in detail would be for some other thread) Most of this thankfully toned down in Changeling and the addition of a bright and nice side to changeling exsistence make the games really shine aginst the other WoD games. [B]BEAUTY[/B] and some horror, that's how we played the Masquerade and now Changeling brings it back, together with the green color that VtM had. For me, CtL is the true successor to VtM. [/QUOTE]
