Wow, that last comment sure sounds dismissive and kinda rude of the person who tried to paint the franchise in a non-mocking light.
Wow, I can’t believe someone responded to a comment online before genuflecting to avoid offense.
It would truly be a World Of Darkness if people didn’t include at least 1 run-on sentence stating how much they appreciate and acknowledge the other person’s worldview before respectfully disagreeing
For a long time I never understood the prevailing opinion about the inherent incompatibility of the game lines in WoD because I mixed them up all the time. But now thinking back on it I realize that I never really needed to use the rules, like for combat, between the types. I don’t know if it was the stories I ran, or the people I gamed with, but interactions were either cautious curiosity, or abject avoidance (“Oh shit, werewolf! Run!!!”)
Well there was that one time in live when my Toreador fought a lupine, and that went fine. Idk, maybe the live rules were designed better for that?
They aren’t really incompatible in game. For Vampires, a Lupine should be an OH FUCK OH SHIT OH FUCK tier enemy to most parties, either a run (smart) or fight as a team (good luck) encounter.
Did your Toreador solo a lupine by themselves? Were they a powerful Elder, or the world’s luckiest roller?

Yeah. One time in tt, our malk and a setite met one on the Santa Monica pier. Malk got a miraculous 8 successes on Athletics to get away (took a picture of it), while the setite did the smart thing and dove into the water.

Not an elder, but a martial artist with max Celerity. Still lost though, because at the time I sucked at challenges.
