Well, A C was right and it *was* a totally different game which I or UA had nothing to do with. Anyway, there were a few points that I can try to comment on (thanks for the advice, btw):

>Why would the character be carrying a nice chunk of plastique? I ask because I don't naturally match large explosions and personamancy in my head.  

That's a reasonable question, although personamancy had nothing to do with it. He wasn't carrying it in his backpocket all the time: he knew someone (the stereotypical anarchist) with that sort of stuff, and he was waaaay suspicious of the pack leader.

>This is my biggest question:  Why did the Sabbat leader arrive alone?  

Umm...this is not a WW list, but IIRC, the Sabbat take at least 24 hours to create. One good reason. The other might have been that I recall the Anarch saying "come alone", but I'm not sure (but I sure as hell could've made that clear in the previous posting). That's not a reason, still. I'd have to ask the player :)

>When did he get a chance to wire the car?  His friends did it?

If it was his own or not, I don't think putting a chunk of plastique somewhere near the gas tank would be a great, time-consuming task...

>Why would the Anarch blow up the car again? Because he's suspicious of a trap?  Why not just run or secretly tail the sabbat guy?  Why would he think a guy getting INTO a car is a trap?  Why did that end the campaign?  

In my view he thought that the Sabbat guy was setting him up, and the Sabbat getting into the car was only a great time for him to kaboom it. It pretty much ripped the Sabbat to pieces, and that's why the campaign ended. I don't if it's by-the-book Vampire; that might've been the GM (or the whole group?) who had reduced the vampires' endurance to less superheroistic.

Now let's cut the WW thread, hm? For some reason I have severe antipathies for the company. Maybe because it's too damn popular. But then again, I'm a quite potent avatar of the Rebel, so...
