Mr Ed and Lothar -
As someone who once did a bit 'o work for WW - more on the Mage setup, but anywho - that's precisely the way to use any White Wolf game system.
Half the people who work there are serious in that particularly angsty, woe-is-the-world way. Hence the fact that you can't win...more than that, you're not supposed to try to win or save the world, etc.,etc.
They've actually redone all of their books in the past two years so that everything is nice and uniformly bleak. Anything bright, shiny, or the slightly bit colorful, funny, fantastic, or silly [like the entire "Umbra" concept] has been systematically purged, as has all of the fatbeard-y epic-adventure potential:
You've irrevocably lost the AscensionWar/Apocalypse/Gehenna, the world is dying, now go mope about. And positively no cheering up...!
Broguht to you by the people who made "Pathos" and "Angst" a scorable trait.  |
