Playing abuse victims is more fun them other world creatures that have power in magic and imagination?
Insofar as the old Changeling really isn't so much "World of Darkness" as it is "World of Insufficient Light" yes. And mechanically speaking, the old Changeling has issues. I'm convinced they refer to "bunks" so much because much of the magical system is, well, bunk.
Thanks for the replies.
As it happens I've acquired virtually the entire Ascension back catalogue of books from a friend (the amount of splatbooks and fluff is daunting, this campaign won't start for a while). This has effectively made the decision for me, the first campaign I run will be Ascension although having read more into Awakening I would love to run an Awakening game at a later stage. I can't comment on the mechanics but I'm new to both in any case so it doesn't matter too much.
It was all over the place depending on what books you read and sometimes even in the same books it was very inconsistent.
Why?Geist >>> everything else holy crap this is awesome.
This is not what I'd call a positive selling point.
I haven't read all the supplementary material - I'm simply going on the basic book. It seems to me that while in theory you could have some dark stuff happening, the goofy magical system would make such seem a bit incongruous, to me. Especially the first edition - "Now, to complete my fell magics I will... make moose antlers at you! Mongamongamong!"
