** That\'s not only stupid, but inaccurate.

While it was not what the games were exactly designed for, the roughly similar systems and shared universe meant that realistically yes a Virtual Adept mage could show up and tangle with Vampires. And vice versa. And this is not even taking into account the fact that every White Wolf game had oodles and oodles of options for player characters (there were like, what, a dozen or so \\\"types\\\" of Vampire in that game?) so even if you \\\'\\\'only\\\'\\\' play as a Vampire, two Vampires could and would be wildly different. So yes while Vampire is based on \\\"one race\\\", never mind that the game offers options, the White Wolf cosmos as a whole (or \\\"World of Darkness\\\") allowed overlap between everything from Werewolf tribes to Vampire clans and Mage traditions. Hat, as per HonestRollsCharacter, almost everything about your character, aside from gender, is decided by rolling dice. How many options do you have for role-playing if there\\\'s no room for player choice?

...because yeah, Byron\\\'s an idiot, but this is a WallOfText that doesn\\\'t really have anything to do with FATAL.
