Weeeeel. I always felt NWoD was WoD for people who liked the base ideas, but never really liked the implementation of WoD itself. I understand why it made sense, from WW's standpoint, but I agree, it was a BAD choice. It's a good thing Onyx Path showed us that the two universes could exist...

Really? Didn't know that. Pretty interesting in the light of one of the main goals of V5 is to make it simpler. Fixed target number, simplified health track, one-roll combat, etc. Well, all two playtests was basically about the new hunger mechanics. I'm pretty curious how the rest will turn...

That's quite typical, sadly, from the naysayer group. They really-really hate it and WW, for various reasons ("ignoring" CofD, wanting to go dark with the game, some personal issues, etc.) and they literally can't comprehend the possibility that they are a minority with their view. Surely, all...

Yeah, I'm curious about how Onyx Path will fair in this, since, let's face it, CofD has a very dedicated fanbase, but OPP's main thing was the CWoD 20ths for a long time (basically, almost from the beginning). Okay, there were several personal hardships on the CofD side, but still, it shows just...

That's the most important thing, IMO. Also, some people's "edgelord" is another's "WoD as intended". Also-also, while the people disgruntled with it were very vocal on several sites, I think the majority of WoD fans are at least partially okay with the direction, even if critical with other...

Yes. Also, let's not forget LexOccoltum! that was my other vote, little sad it didn't make it.

It's VtM, duh. :D It was very influential for a lot of people and we're waiting for it to reclaim its rightful place in the rpg scene anxiously. I think it's just that EnWorld's readers are less likely to be WoD fans, but since it got posted on social media...

It's quite good to have a roundup with so much material now out there, thanks!

That wasn't the point. The quoted text said to me than I still can't expect setting material outside of APs in the future. That's the point.

So, it sounds only APs for the future, with some setting material, so no change there. No novels neither, in the foreseeable future. Oh well, that's life, I guess, I just go back spending time with other stuff until the next checking-in. Thanks for the reporting!

As far as I'm concerned, D&D doing well (which I think is pretty clear) is good for two reasons: - it might induce WotC to pick up their settings, novel lines, etc. thus making me interested again in the game, which I'm only marginally is right now - more people coming in could mean more...

Usually, it's setting that draws me into an rpg, not system (though I prefer certain kind of and like particular systems and on the other hand, certain kind of systems are a big turn off for me, even if I like the setting, like with 7th Sea 2e...) and usually through linked products, like...

It's not the "original", but a part of the current WW staff. From left to right: Karim Muammar, Martin Ericsson, Shane DeFreest and the sitting one is Mark rein-Hagen.

Yes, but I responded to a post about NWoD/CofD stuff. WW has nothing to do with those (aside from providing license), thus they aren't a part of the program. Those games are fully under OPP's supervision. The 20th editions of the WoD games are from OPP too, but there is a intersection of...

The former NWoD is not "WoD" anymore. It's chronicles of Darkness and it's Onyx Path's thing. As far as i know the ST Vault will be a WoD thing (but not just Vampire).

I suspect the cause of WoD's rising might be because either people want to try the new playtest or the recent stirring of WW made people to bring out the old books and give them a dust-off, but it would be interesting to know which version/edition of the WoD/CofD games were played?

It could be problematic in a sense that some parts of it could push buttons in people, as it is clearly seen there. That's understandable, but my firm opinion is that the warnings given based on that and the portraying of the playtest are way exaggerated and one-sided. If you don't agree with...

As I said... But, by all means, feel free to type your standpoint some more times! I just wanted to ask people to read it and decide without preconceptions, based on someone's personal take on the stuff.

LOL, nope, you won't drag me into this! :D If that's your interpretation and all you seen in the documents, that's your prerogative! Seriously people, just read it and decide yourself.

I'll just reiterate to everyone: don't believe the doom-saying and exaggerated accusations, but don't believe the praising either. Download it and make up your own mind, just don't forget it's WoD, it's a pre-alpha playtest, not a quickstart and it has a certain context (the big Berlin LARP's...
