Monte Cooks WoD is for 3.5

[Wombat]

The WoD rules work great for a WoD game.

Why would I want to graft D20 rules onto a setting that already has an appropriate rules set?

I mean, I like Monte's work, but this is a non-starter for me.

I'm also going to get this because it's for 3.5. While I've been speculatively looking at the WoD ever since I got into role-playing, I never had any interest in learning another rules system. This is the answer to that.

Because it's d20?

People who don't want to learn another ruleset can get this. People who want to try another take on the game can get this.

It's not like the first game that has its own rules, but gets a d20 treatment.

If it can even REMOTELY be canabalized for regular D&D, I'm in.

Heck, if it CAN'T and its still good, I'm in.

Go Monte!

Is it really D&D 3.5? Aren't the WOD rules on version 3? I seem to think they are, so maybe they are a revision of those, and not D20...

The more I look at the picture, the more I am convinced that my guess is correct. Nowhere does it actually say 3.5 or D20, it says "Revised 3rd Edition Rules" which I think refers to the WOD system.

I don't think D20 would be right for WOD

So far, the RPG Net posters aren't sure WHAT to make of it.

This is for my "wait and see" list. And coincidentally, it comes out RIGHT at Gencon... Hmmm....

It's for 3.5!?!??

The WoD forums must be in uproar!

They already were a couple of months ago when Sean K Reynolds said that the book is based on the d20 mechanic

Wow, I've never seen an RPG developer's name so huge on the cover of a book, before. Does Gygax even get this kind of billing? Interesting.

Are we entirely certain that "Revised Third Edition Rules" means D&D? You'd think they'd pay the liscensing fee to get a logo on there, somewhere.

At any rate, if this is going to be d20, I'll definitely be interested in cannibalizing it. I like the existing World of Darkness mechanics quite a bit, so I don't think I'd actually run a WoD game with this thing, but I can always use more mechanical toys for d20 projects.

I knew it was going to be d20, but. . .

Gah. Why not d20 Modern?

That strikes me as a really odd decision.

Supplementary question: is/was d20 Modern a failure?

Yes, it's D&D 3.5e. It has been said before.

As far as I know, the current WoD is the second edition. Before that, they were only revisions and the like. The current WoD is often called WoD 2.0. And there is no revision for it as far as I know.
