[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8146928, member: 6779196"] Is Blades in the Dark PbtA? I haven’t read it. A hybrid system is one in which there are some class-based restrictions, and some abilities that are open. It is simply not as black and white as you seem to think, and I’m surprised the concept of some restrictions and some unrestricted things being in the same game is so alien to someone who has experimented with so many non-D&D systems. Yes, vampire and werewolf are different games (though they’re [I]fairly[/I] crossover-friendly, especially in the most recent editions). No, not all vampire characters can take all vampire abilities (nor can all werewolf characters take all werewolf abilities, etc.). There are, in fact, Clan-restricted Disciplines. Trust me on this, I am [I]very[/I] familiar with White Wolf and Onyx Path material, I spent several years as a mod on their official forums, I’m on first-name basis with many of their developers, and I’ve done a bit of freelance writing for them. It’s perfectly fine not to want to spend money on WotC products, and perfectly fine to participate in open forum discussions. But it’s pretty silly to critique a game you haven’t read. [/QUOTE]
