Converted from Phorums BB System

I LIKE REVIEWS THAT TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH A GAME......as a long term gamer I have many systems to draw from, and not the money or bookshelf space to waste on even more systems that are fundmentally flawed.....If I am looking up reviews I want them TO WARN ME WHAT TO AVOID!

and having looked over a friends copy of the new WoD I agree with the reviewer on most things (other than fiction...I hated the stuff he liked, and liked the stuff he hated)

The advantages of the dicepool/storyteller system were that you didnt need to consult and manipulate the rules in order to achieve things anyone should be able to accomplish. A character could shoot a gun and drive a car without consulting specific rules, and there was almost nothing you could describe that a character couldnt at least attempt using a dice pool deried from 2 stats. Easy, robust, realistic.

No reducing dice pools to zero..

No needing "feats" to drive a car and shoot at the same time....walk AND chew gum etc.

Pity, because Requiem is great....best vampire yet (more personalised horror, and locaised not glabal onspiracy/politcs)
