[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 3549865, member: 48965"] I totally hear you, and agree with you. I think it'll be based on the (hopefully new) WoD, very losely, like Arcana evolved was for D&D. Still, arguably, all the tropes of dark fantasy/horror that White-Wolf's WoD excels at with a different packaging for it. I also want to bring another point up...those lumping the system & world of oWoD and nWoD together are really talking about two different game lines with two different asthetics. oWoD was pretty meta-plot heavy, had a very detailed and succinct "world" it transpired in and was sort of restrictive. The system, while ok, had some bugs(especially with some of the powers and Mage) that caused some hiccups in the game. And the supernaturals weren't balanced against each other. nWoD has no meta-plot, no set world except in the same broad sense that D&D has a world, and is really a tool-box type game. The mechanics are streamlined with very few, if any, hiccups. The supernaturals are balanced agianst each other and in general use the same mechanics. Basically, IMHO, an all around better game. If you aren't giving the nWoD a try because of it's past incarnation...well it's sort of like judging what D&D 3.5 is by reading an AD&D PHB. Oh yeah, the nWoD is not a "third edition" it's a new game and new world, White Wolf has stated as much. It's like saying Exalted is the third edition of oWoD because it's mechanics are based of of the oWoD. [/QUOTE]
