  Oh no not that discussion again ... :(

  *Bloodlines* are strictly exogamous. Whether *clans* are exogamous   depends on your reading of the source material - and plenty of us have   clans who regard it as normal and acceptable to marry between bloodlines   in the same clan. If a newly published scenario agrees with us (I   haven't read it in enough detail to comment), that's nice. But this   discussion has happened in gruesome detail before, and I'd suggest   reading the archives.

Sorry to revive bad memories. This one must have been during one of the periods I was mass deleting message due to lack of time...

In any case, I actually like this interpretation better than what I had taken as the standard one.

My apologies.

Gerald
