The clan flaws can be severe and I'm not sure how some of these guys have survived a decade, much less a millennium.
Even though some really patient people have tried to explain it to me, I don't understand the Ministry, and how they remain an established Clan while the Setites and Serpents of Light are gone.
No Paths for non-Sabbat, and Sabbat aren't playable.
The information for some clans and Disciplines is spread out over numerous books, in an old school RPG way that is terrible. Lasombra are a Camarilla clan now, but their stats are in... the Chicago sourcebook, I think?
Anyway, I was a convert to New World of Darkness, which I generally prefer. If I were going with the classic, I might go with 20th anniversary, axing bits of lore that annoyed me.
Well Renegade Games did send C&D to creators for using the word "renegade". Doesn't make them nazis but everyone gets to draw their own lines in the sand and it helps to be informed.
