But the WoD didn't really have a systematic vendetta of one group against the other, just a lot of isolated turf wars.The original focus of Vampire, (at least, before players go full katana and trenchcoat on the setting) is more on vampires trying to stay alive and get ahead in the shifting web of Kindred politics, trying to preserve their own humanity in the face of their inner Beast and it's ever-encroaching hunger, and preserving the Masquerade that keeps knowledge of vampires from the mortal world*. Add in the odd tussle with the crazy blood-cult vampires of the Sabbat, and digging into the mythology of vampires to slowly realise you're screwed on a literally Biblical scale.* Which would probably be easier today--yes, cameras are on phones, but if you uploaded your "REAL VAMPIRE ATTACK" video to Youtube, half the comments would probably be how it's obviously photoshopped, and the other half would be asking what movie it's viral marketing for.</blockquote>
