The tension would have to be _really_ high.It could also just be that the Conflagration had the side effect of letting a lot of bombs go off unintended. The Conflagration might also have worked differently as described - maybe there wasn't a single region that was directly affected? Maybe several conflagration points came into being - in the middle of major sources of radiation (which means nuclear bombs, nuclear reactors, nuclear waste facilities and uranium or plutonium mines)*The interesting thing is that a lot of people might think that Werewolves, Vampires, Demons or Magic are a result of mutations, making it easier for them to conceal their true purpose.Edit: *) This could also be used in a less apocalyptic version of the WoD if you lessen the destruction caused by the Conflagration. It also makes the primary effect affecting a lot more people world-wide directly, as suddenly a notable percentage of our energy source is destroyed, turning the world literally into darkness. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
