The Demon trilogy and two of the Vampire: the Requiem books (A Hunger Like Fire and A Marriage of Virtue and Viciousness) are phenomenal.

Stolze trivia, he initially wanted to call the first vampire novel "My Drinking Problem".

Paradox amounted to some dice of bashing damage in both Ascenscion and Awakening (the latest versions, anyway). It got progressively worse as you used more vulgar magic in the same scene, though.

Always thought that was really poor game design. I mean it was logical, but still:
''Here's all this cool poo poo you can do. But if you do any of it, you will be penalized for it''.

It was better to deal your enemy several levels of agg. and take several levels of bashing than to do nothing. I do have a few complaints about the way Awakening's paradox system is set up, though, that's why I changed it in the game I don't run.

Also, Reign is probably the only game where random chargen is totally balanced with point buy.

Wrong. One of the tables gives you more points of Cooking than a regular character could buy.

God damnit Greg Stolze why do you love making players choose between buying temporary and permanent advantages with XP so much

You can't push a pool over 10d unless you have something which explicitly says it can, like a demon-forged weapon that's already tasted its current target's blood.
