You know that myth about tossing rice at vampires? If they’re chasing you, you throw a bag of rice at them. They are compelled to stop and count the grains, and you can make a clean getaway.
Now pretend the sack is full of conflicting information about oWoD VtM canon, and the vampire is me, and I cannot continue my bloodthirsty homicidal stalking until I connect the dots and fit the pieces together in a way that makes sense. I would not feel RIGHT making proclamations–even Barnum statements– about a Clan or bloodline for which there’s a paucity of information. It would not be fair to the people who love that Clan, or specific bloodlines.
