I mean, I already didn't plan on really focusing on the meta-plots of the respective series. 

But if it's just 'generic dark fantasy', well, what makes it WoD?

My point is that if we drop from "WoD" to "WoD-inspired," we can streamline the setting as needed to be conducive to a succesful RP. The setting could be as similar as we wanted it to be, we're just filing off the serial numbers to make it easier on ourselves.
