[QUOTE="Ipissimus, post: 3563480, member: 41514"] By any stretch of the imagination? I beg to differ. Fang and Fury stretched the imagination pretty conclusively. If everyone has the Vampire/Werewolf/whatever template, who cares about experience point penalties? Everyone's in the same boat. If you're using the Racial Character Classes, just use d20 Modern and allow them to multiclass freely. On the second point... I have to ask, if you can't force yourself to care about the WoD world, why would you care about the same world using d20 mechanics? Ok, ok, so all you want is the crunch. -shrugs- personally, I don't see what's so 'unplayable' about what we've already got without shelling out more money. Honestly, I don't know. Would you like to be the first to find out? Not me and not quite a few other people. Whether it has happened or not, the possibility is there and you are taking a risk, after all the d20 license was introduced to stop just that sort of abuse of WOTC's intellectual property. TSR was plagued by products that were 'for use with the DnD system'. If you don't enforce your licenses, why have them? White Wolf can afford to take the risk and WOTC has nothing to gain getting into a nasty legal battle with one of its distant competitors. It occurs to me that I'd have no problems with this if it were entitled 'Monte Cook's Supernatural Horrors' or some such, I cartainly don't have any objections over Arcana Unearthed. d20 Modern could certainly use a boost and I'd be interested in his take on the genre. Monte Cook's World of Darkness, however, makes me think 'sheesh, let's chew over some old ground again'. A clean sweep would be much better, no leftover baggage. [/QUOTE]
