[QUOTE="delericho, post: 3934803, member: 22424"] Personally, I have boxes upon boxes od OWoD books (actually, VtM), and precisely two NWoD books. I have played two hours of Vampire: the Requiem, where the Masquerade was my system of choice for about three years prior to the release of D&D 3e. It's also worth noting that, on reading the new World of Darkness/Vampire the Requiem core rulebooks, I was immediately struck by two things: the rules of the game were a vast improvement over that which had gone before... and I had absolutely desire to play that game. At the moment, my sense of 4e is that the mechanics will be better in some respects (extending the sweet spot), worse in others (auto-crit on a 20)... and I have absolutely no desire to play the game I've been reading about. So, it does look like the parallel might be an apt one. Unfortunately, when I tried to go back to Vampire: the Masquerade, I found that the game was largely 'played out' for me - I had done everything in that system that I wanted to do. Furthermore, the lack of the mechanical improvements from the NWoD was very frustrating. With D&D, I've become familiar enough with the 3.5e rules to see the weaknesses all to clearly. I [i]wanted[/i] to really like 4e, and was ready for a new edition. So, I don't feel just continuing with 3.5e is really the ideal answer. [/QUOTE]
