Both D&D and World of Darkness.
I'm the worst kind of gamer. I love the simple, open ended dice pools of world of Darkness, but I also want the crunchy combat of DnD.
How do I resolve my 2 great loves knowing they'll never be together? Is there anything that fills the void that my heart yearns for?

Re: Both D&D and World of Darkness.
Shadowrun? Ten times the crunch, and open-ended dice pools?

Re: Both D&D and World of Darkness.
This is very true! 2E dice pools could get huge. 3E was supposed to fix that, but ended up worse (as I understand it).

4e even had nWoD-style expanding dice pools... success on a 5 or 6, modifiers change the size of the dice pool, not the TN. Originally Posted by Lord Torath

But Shadowrun doesn't work. I've played it a ton regardless, but it's the most broken RPG system I ever saw. Originally Posted by Mark Hall

Re: Both D&D and World of Darkness.
If you want dicepools and crunchy combat, try Exalted 3E. It has all the crunch a soul can ask for and then some.

Re: Both D&D and World of Darkness.
Came here to say this. Exalted has ginormous, Olympic-scale dice pools, and is absurdly, comically crunchy. Originally Posted by Morty

Re: Both D&D and World of Darkness.
Not really. I've played 5th edition mostly, and it kinda works, as long as your group is fine with going with rules-as-make-sense rather than RAW with some regularity. Originally Posted by Kaptin Keen
