Not complete overhaul, more like errata, with new layout, editing and art. As someone who never cared for big metaplot in original WoD, i quite liked 2004 nWoD. What also helped was streamlining mechanics which made easier to combine characters from different game lines. It was designed ground up to easy incorporate all the game lines into single game at the table. On the other hand oWoD, every game was for itself and it was tricky to balance them together at the same table, both power wise, but also thematically narrative, they didn't mesh that well.As for new editions, i think yes, most popular games will have new editions. But i think it will probably be more in line with minor updates, some rules tweaks etc. Enough new to call it update, enough old to have some degree of backwards compatibility. Problem with ttrpgs is once you buy it, you can use it forever. It doesn't break, it doesn't get obsolete and it gives you unlimited content. For business model that is based on single purchase, that means they need new edition every few years.</blockquote>
