[QUOTE="DarkWhite, post: 3841005, member: 9027"] Remember during the transition from 2nd Ed to 3rd Ed, WotC released this dreadful D&D-DiabloII products that weren't quite 2nd Ed, but weren't quite 3rd Ed either, so were compatible with neither? I really like the flavour of DiabloII, just not the D&D execution of it. I also really enjoy what Sword&Sorcery have done with the World of Warcraft RPG. I really think conversions of computer games to D&D need to honour the background source material (fluff), but stay faithful to the D&D rules system (crunch). This is why I regard World of Warcraft RPG a success, but Everquest RPG a failure. I can only assume Everquest strayed from D20 compatibility to more closely reflect the mechanics of the computer game - but lost the D&D audience in doing so. Anyone think 4th Ed, borrowing ideas from it's computer game cousins (particularly talent trees), is now ready to have another take on DiabloII? Swords&Sorcery would almost certainly want to release a 4th Ed version of their World of Warcraft RPG, wouldn't you think? [/QUOTE]
