really liked it

The World of Darkness system is, for my money, the quintessential 'Role-Playing Game.' I still enjoy D&D far more, but when a group of adult, experienced role-players want to delve into the dark side of telling a story, there is no better system available.

However, this is not a dice-roller type of game. The rules, abilities and scope are ENTIRELY decided by the GM - there are incredibly few hard and fast sets of rules. It is the main complaint I have received from my players over the years, but I do believe that with a correctly-constructed campaign, there is a huge benefit to having very little for the 'rules lawyers' to bog the session down with.

But don't expect to flip to page whatever for a ruling on whether or not four ranks in an ability would allow, or disallow a certain application of said ability. It is up to the GM, and in the hands of a good one it allows for a far greater immersion into the story. At its core, that really is what this system was designed for: telling stories. If that's your thing, then this should be some fun.
