Huh. So did the vampires get powerful as well, or what? That sounds like an interesting game.
Neat. I know there's a Dresden Files game; I read a recap/review of it, but some of the mechanics seemed confusing.
Yes, vampires of low enough generation (earlier and thus older vampires) were insanely powerful in WoD.
Someone did a spoof way back having the generation 2 (i think) vampires fighting each others. It was like:
A: Using superstrength: I take the moon, and throw it at you.
B: Using powers to hide moon completely from any senses. "What moon?"
C: Using power to pierce any illuisions and magic hding things: "That moon..."
D: Being the target of the attack, uses power to make itself invulnerable... "No problems, I am tough enough to handle it.." Brushes off the attack in best Bond villain Jaws-style.
Problem with the old games were that even though it was obvious that they all took place in the same world (and they had a metaplot), the company doing them was like: "No, these are all separate games, no connection". And the rule-systems were similar but (not always so slightly) different in each of the games...
And then you have the Chronicles of Darkness, which is a licensed version that has got its own setting, and similar rules (but imo much better), and the base there is that you are a mortal.
