[QUOTE="Aus_Snow, post: 4057909, member: 29112"] Thought I would love Iron Heroes - D&D without some of its most annoying aspects, and with several nifty features added to it? Cool! Then we tried it for a while. Turns out, I really don't love it. The system is pretty messy, like a rough draft. :\ Didn't think I would like Mutants & Masterminds much. Not sure why. Anyway, it's frickin' awesome - for just about any genre. :cool: Thought I would love Arcana Evolved. Yeah, not so much. It's change for the sake of change in some instances, and stuff I could do without in others. Classes that are bland and uninspired, races likewise, some names that are kinda cheesy (IMO) . . . basically, a whole bunch of arbitrary changes and decisions in general. I wanted to like it, and again, tried it for a while. Meh. :\ Didn't think I would like the new World of Darkness. But hey, it's actually not that bad. With just the core book and Second Sight (er, and some roleplayers, etc.,) great things can happen. Not sure about the new lines like Vampire - just haven't tried them. Probably not my cup o' tea. But yeah, IME, the 'core' nWoD works damn well - not perfectly, but very well - for low level mortals (or mortals++) in a terrifying world. :cool: [/QUOTE]
