Monte Cook's WoD--we'll be playing

[tadk]

i skimmed a copy in a local chain bookstore last weekend
looks good, might even get it
not bought WoD stuff since Digital Web was published

Does anyone know where I can download a sheet for the game. Haven't found one at the White Wolf site and I haven't been able to locate a fan one either.

Mr. Gone, who has tons of very cool character sheets for WW games, will be working on a McWoD one soon. I don't know when it'll be available, though.

I got my copy.

Man this book is Gorgeous!

I'm not so jazzed over the actual setting...yet. The intrusion and the way they handled the Inconnu seems cool enough, but I guess I was just hoping for something different. I'm not impressed with the rationalizations behind Vampires, Werewolves, etc. I definately don't like the whole 2 souls in one body thing or the fact that they've only been around for one year. I thought that deviated too far from what I know and love about WOD.

I might just use the rules and run a Hybrid OWOD campaign dealing with the Camarilla and Sabbat in the Aftermath of Gehenna.

I'm still reading through it, but I'm liking the system stuff so far. 20 levels, different abilities for the "Types", Humanity points etc. very cool stuff.

Demons and Awakened are pretty interesting. I noticed a line mentioning that Critical hits do CON damage. Is that true?

hmm. must read more.

Yes for mortals. Apparently Vampires and Demons don't suffer this and Awakened and Werewolves can avoid it to by taking a feat.

That's not a sheet for Monte Cook's World of Darkness...it's for the storyteller system not d20.

A request has gone out to Luke Johnson (the developer) by email. However, WW are moving offices and their online material is running behind.

There is comic potential in the fact that it's abbreviated McWOD (McDarkness?), but sadly Monte's probably made a book that's too good to warrant it, so the clever moniker will go to waste.

Don't discount the White Wolf hardcore fanboys that hate any and all things d20 just becuase.

I ventured over to their forums briefly a few days ago, and the quantity of venom I saw towards d20 in general was quite significant, and little of it I would consider as being "well-informed." More like knee-jerk reactions, kinda like what happened with Star Wars Saga Edition and is happening with 4e right now.

I will confess to cracking a grin at McWoD. I wonder if I can get demon fries to go with my werewolf burger and vampire shake?

Actually the MCWoD is up...
