D20 System Vampire

[Triumvirate1]

Vampire: the Masquarade is the second most sucessful RPG idea, yet they still still to the storyteller system instead of getting real. If they do not decide to put out they're fourth edition as D20 system, would people be interested in an alternative D20 system game, Here's a good name for it - "Vampire" you can't copyright that! True, the specific WOD backround info is not public domain, but neither is Buffy or Anne Rice and they all cater to the same market. Could an Alternative D20 system Vampire game work??

Nah, the free-wheeling aspects of the StoryTeller system is a major appeal of the game, and I can't see playing a d20 version of said game.

Although I am a d20 fan and writer, I still love the StoryTeller system. It is one of my top 3 systems - d20, StoryTeller, Interlock.

Rats, I thought the poll was asking if I'd buy a d20 version of V:tM, which I'd do in a heartbeat. I'd look at a non-WoD creatures of the night game but the WoD setting elements are a significant part of the appeal, in particular clans, the specific powers, and the political structure. All that goes even moreso for the W:tA material.

The ST system is okay but Good God! three Charisma attributes and one Dex attribute?!?! In order to be good at talking to people you need to spend three times as many stat points while Dex makes you harder to hit, reduces the damage you take when hit, makes it easier for you to hit others, increases the damage you do when you do hit others, lets you sneak around, helps you go first, helps you open doors, climb walls, and drive cars and airplanes....

Oh well, practically EVERY game makes Dex too valuable; except D&D for some reason.

These polls are getting more and more vague.

While moving the setting into d20 would be entertaining, I don't see it happening. Storyteller is actually a good system, and I love it for Werewolf: the Apocalypse.

I'd really like to see something, simply because, D&D vampires really really suck. I've never liked them, mechanically, in previous editions of AD&D. Except the 'Nosferatu' for Basic D&D/Known World/Mystara. Since it didn't have the same multi-verse setup that AD&D had, undead weren't necessarily evil.
