Not only much easier, at least in my opinion also generating much more flair - and the "dark" feeling I like so much at SW. But that?s a personal opinion, for sure their enough GMs where Andraax history is well known, Laser Pistols are used for the Rhakhaan Kingsguard, and longlived Elvish Kings whistle away all the secrets of the past.
Difficult is still, like discussed in another thread, the position of Nomikos or other sources of knowhow surviving though the WoD.
