View Full Version : Want to run a World of Darkness (old or new) one-shot - where can I find the ruleset?

Hey there,

I'm brand new to Fantasy Grounds, and fairly new as a GM as well, but I've already bought an ultimate subscription to try out FG for a month. I want to run a World of Darkness one-shot, it's called Nightmare on Hill Manor (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/92564/Nightmare-on-Hill-Manor) but I'm struggling with the rulesets here.

This one-shot isn't based on any particular sub-system (like Werewolf or Vampire), it's just World of Darkness in general. I tried downloading the ruleset from here (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/library/WorldOfDarkness.xcp) but it seemed extremely glitchy. The other thing is that I'm not sure what version of World of Darkness it is.

I also looked at this thread (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?28597-Chronicles-of-Darkness-Status-Update-(Originally-nWoD)), but it seems as though it's still in progress and not ready for use yet. Has anyone else run a World of Darkness game? How did you do it? If you haven't, how do I run it? Should I wait until the one in development is completed?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome Tinktock
The existing ruleset for WoD etc was probably never completed. Some things it does well others it does not.
If you are wanting to wait... dont hold your breath - its not good for your health :)
Some of the WoD rolls are included in the MoreCore but Im not at all familiar with the WoD game mechanics so cant assis you much in how you would actually use it in MC.

/woddice #s# will roll # dice and count those above #. 1s subtract a success. Modifiers will roll an additional dice.

There is an excellent Vampire: The Masquerade ruleset in the wiki. There is also an extension for it, for Mage / Werewolf.

Hi Tinktock - viresanimi suggests you play with the version from here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
It is older but more complete.

Thanks for the responses everyone! I'll give the new one a go and try out that dice command.
Where can I get moreRPG? I don't need everything automated anyway, just dice rolling should be fine.

MoreCore Ruleset can be found here; https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?34860-MoreCore-Ruleset

MoreCore is a generic ruleset - it can be used to run many other systems quite well, and some systems less well. I havent played WoD so I dont know how well it works for that system but if you do try and you do have feedback/suggestions my ears are open.
