Re: Originals vs. Clones

I think the main difference between S&W WB and the other clones like Delving Deeper is that WB is not a complete game (even less complete than the original in some ways). You have to houserule it (and of course that is encouraged in the early printings with the sidebars), so at least in intent it's...
