I have had minimal exposure to the nWoD/CofD up until now (I did do a fair bit of classic WoD stuff back in the 90s, but that's a long way from having mastery over a semi-related system two decades later), but am now - perhaps foolishly - considering running a crossover game using it. Obviously, I'd like to know what sort of pitfalls to look out for generally, and more specifically, how to avoid some splats simply rendering others moot, or common snags in ways that powersets interact.
Oddly, I could not find a thread on this from within the past five years - most of what I found was from around 2006, and concluded that vampires and werewolves were both laughably underpowered - but I know they have both been rewritten (and conventional wisdom seems to be that werewolves, at least, grew far stronger). So, has that changed at all? Should I expect any difficulties running older splats such as Sin-Eaters or Changelings under the reworked rules, when they themselves have not been altered? How do Demons fit in with others?
(I take it for granted that Mages are still godmode, and have little personal interest in Beasts or Prometheans, but notes on those things are welcome as well, to help others get the broadest information available.)
