Controversy[]
Steve Jackson Games and White Wolf broke the license agreement between each other at the end of 1994 over several complaints they had with each other. These included: An illustration in the Wraith: The Oblivion Rulebook that resembled the Illuminati game logo/symbol, wanting to publish an official Place/City book that White Wolf declined over, the lateness of the publication of GURPS Mage: The Ascension, etc.
