How does the first most successful handle it?MoogleEmpMog said:Despite the fact that a significant majority of the non-D&D RPGs on the market today, including those produced by what by all accounts the second- or third- most successful company in the industry, White Wolf, have rather extensive roleplaying advice and make it one of their main selling points?
Maybe someone should go over there and point out that the RPG that kicks their butt does it a different way.
Obviously I don't really mean that. They are a different niche and they do what they are targeting extremely well.
I don't doubt that WotC can and does take lessons from the successes of many other games and WoD is high on the list they keep and eye on. But you need a better point than just that they are second or third when you are suggesting improvements to the game that is first, and first by a hell of a long way. I mean, come on, I don't want to get into it in this thread, but it is well known that there are some major negative reactions to the typecast RP stuff that is rather pre-loaded into the WoD games. I'm sure DnD could gain some players by going that way. But I'd wager they would lose 4 for every 1 new.
