YMMV / Nephilim

• Misblamed: Nephilim is sometimes criticized for being a copy of The World of Darkness, but it was originally published in 1992, when Vampire: The Masquerade was less than a year old. Conversely, Mage: The Awakening is a rather obvious rip-off of Nephilim (Back Story dating to Atlantis, five splats with elemental associations, grimoires used to focus spells, evil mages that have mangled their souls to become souleaters, etc.) and even shares some of the same writers, which may be the reason for the close similarity.
