[QUOTE="DragonLancer, post: 5414850, member: 11868"] Old and new Worlds of Darkness are two very different animals. Masquerade is a different game to Requiem. Very different. As Dark Mistress said, you have 3 editions of Masquerade and other than minor tweaks it is the same system all the way through. When WW wanted to change system they did away with the old game and made a brand new one with a similar but different system. I can see that because 2nd edition was an overhaul of 1st edition and it made more sense but was essentially the same system as 1st. When WotC took over they changed the system to some more contemporary and did a grand job with the 3rd and 3.5 editions. However when it came to doing 4th was it nessecary to change the entire system? The D20 system worked very well. Why not just change and fix the flaws rather than change it? I don't think the OGL hurt them as much as they may think. The OGL was one of the best things to happen in the industry for a long time and most likely helped a lot of their sales. I probably wouldn't include GURPS as a modern system either as it's very archaic and out of date IMO. But that's just my look at it. [/QUOTE]
