Which game systems use the dice pool mechanic?

[Ghostwind]

Out of curiosity and to compile a list, which game systems use the dice pool as their primary game mechanic? I know Fireborn and Legends of the Five Rings (3rd ed.) use a dice pool. Which others?

 

[Crothian]

Exalted
World of Darkness (Vampire and Werewolf and Mage)
Old Abberant Adventure, and Trinity
all the old WoD games as well

Doh! World of Darkness ones slipped my mind...

Shadowrun
d6 (Ghostbusters, WEG Star Wars, the current d6 books)
Classic Deadlands
WW Storyteller system

 

[Psion]

D6, Storyteller, and Shadowrun have already been mentioned.
Traveller 4 "Marc Miller's Traveller" uses a sort of backwards system that rolls dice for difficulty and compares it to a skill/ability target number.
EABA (oh how the mighty have fallen)
Over the Edge
Silhouette
Sorcerer
LUG Star Trek

There were dozens of variants of the mechanic in the flurry of excrable little games that popped up like hives in the wake of Vampire.

Risus - The Anything RPG doesn't use anything but dice pools. It's also free.

I think the first use of the Die Pool to my knowledge was in the Prince Valiant RPG from the 80's.

Of course, it wasn't technically a dice pool, but a coin pool.

Definitely a VERY important RPG in the evolution of the industry.
