      "Blood and soil" admittedly holds a bit more of a punch if you are a fucking vampire. "Blood and treasure" just becomes redundant. The blood is, in fact, the life, which makes being a Jewish or Muslim vampire... problematic.

      While White Wolf kind of shied away a bit from explicitly making characters into Nazis, in spite of all their edginess, but the Clan Tzimisce definitely has magic that is literally powered by blood and soil.

      They did do it with the Get of Fenris, especially those that "fell to the Wyrm" (read: were assholes). Interestingly, while a lot of the Werewolf tribes were Stereotype City, the Fenrir were not a stereotype of Prussian punctiliousness and efficiency, but a boring "Viking" clan.

      I think, if you try to tap into mythic resonance, you're going to get some boring stereotypes, but you should probably avoid being overly pigeonholed, lest you attract only one kind of player. And Get of Fenris definitely attracted one kind of player. A pretty shitty one.

      I played with many WW RPers and I don't think there's Get of Fenris player who I would not now peg as a bit too fashy if they acted the way they did. The fucking Shadow Lords players were more likely to be upstanding fellows, and they had "literally evil" as their "schtick".

      Representation-wise, while WW's use of stereotype was unavoidable to some degree because of the choices they had made early in design, they could have done a lot better by simply being mildly curious about who they were representing.

      I read the Bastet book, for instance. While I thought it was interesting at the time, I've never been able to shake the feeling that it never really addressed, for instance, actual werejaguar myths or the people who made them. Is chunking out a page on that really so hard?

      it's actually a selection effect you're witnessing, everybody who decided to write a clanbook and research it at all disappeared into Wikipedia and was never seen again
