Since the thread I was going to comment in has been closed due to religion-based bickering and general myopic mother****ery, I'm just going to pose the question to the boards here.
The general attitude seems to be an abandonment of scripting, personas, characters, and context with a supernatural overtone and migrating more toward either pseudo-science or just admitting to trickery, fraud, and deception in the name of entertainment. Apparently, this allows the audience to suspend their disbelief better, or so I am told.
My question is this: Where exactly do Harry Potter and White Wolf Studios succeed where you fail?
More things than are dreamed about
Unseen and unexplained
We suspend our disbelief
And we are entertained
