[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8473951, member: 6802378"] Other point is the homemade elements. But World of Darkness I don't remember players publishing their own ideas for other games, for example new creatures. The open licence of the d20 System helped a lot. It was very useful to can use a system known by the most than starting from zero. Rebember I have mentioned the wandwagon effect in a previous post. I love the background of Eclipse Phase RPG, a revolution within the sci-fi genre, but it is not very easy to be learnt and understand. At least I still feel confused with the stats. The crunch part is the wet dream of the munchkins, but the menace of the exurgent (alien virus, something like a fusion of Terminator/Skynet and Resident Evil) is enough to cause fear even among the "transhumans" (and robots). For a lot of time only D&D was known in the most of no-English countries. It was the first to arrive in those markets and here the players get used to that system. In the past I thought the videogames would kill the TTRPG in the same sense of "Video killed the radio stars" but now I see players are searching in the TTRPGs something they can't find in the videogames. D&D is a brand by Hasbro, with Mattel one of the bigest megacorportation in the toy market. A big fish what can spend a lot of money to promote their franchise. The rest of titles by other publishers have got lesser number of opportunities to become a multimedia franchise. [/QUOTE]
