I certainly find that WW games have changed the way I run games and design adventures. From Vampire, I learned how to run a game in a closed environment (usually a city) with little or no "outside world". It encourages depth of NPCs and gives important NPCs and locations n recurring role that is usually not emphasized in geographically extensive fantasy RPGs. Also, running Vampire has helped me design political adventures which will likely come in handy now my D&D players are getting tougher.One thing I'm struggling with in D&D is how to cope with individual character power vs. the world. When characters can potentially blow up a city (and at Level 9, they're not far off already from being capable of that), how do you cope ? The WW games all feature powerful entities, and a lot of safeguards are built-in believably to make sur it doesn't happen. I'm drawing on these ideas today for my D&D setting. My main gripe with all the WW games, at the end of the day, is that although they stand-alone well, they don't combine well. If you agglomerate the six or seven X : The Y games they have released, half the world population is either a vampire, a werewolf, a mage, a mummy, a changeling or posessed by a wraith or demon. That hurts suspension of disbelief a lot. In my games, I never crossed over PC-Wise and toned down other "awakened" NPCs a lot to avoid that. So if London hosted 100 Vampires in Vampire, it probably only hosted 5-10 in Mage.Oh well, I'm veering off topic.
