The core rules for the new WoD game are solid. The designers cracked the code on character generation, and it's as good in this game as it's ever going to get. The game system also is solid, elegant, and works pretty well at the table. While the game may get a little wonky at higher levels or with some of the additional supernatural templates, it plays really, really well for a group of mortal investigators in a (modern) dark fantasy world.
