        W5 absolutely fumbled the representation, V5 was a mess. they’re just going to completely misunderstand the setting and crack the fanbase in two.

          V5 was a mess? I’ll admit I’ve only read through the rulebook and watched LA By Night, never actually played it. But I really, really like the system. It feels like it strikes a pretty great balance between an amount of detail that can give you meaningful character choices, while also being really elegant and intuitive to play with. The same thing that made 5e so successful for D&D.

          Werewolves have never really interested me, so I never looked much at that. But I quite liked the idea behind Mage so I was looking forward to seeing what they’d do with it, both mechanically and in the metanarrative.
