Stockholm, Sweden – August 11, 2017

White Wolf Entertainment, creator of the World of Darkness and Vampire: The Masquerade are partnering with DriveThruRPG to allow independent content creators to publish material set in the World of Darkness using the Storytellers Vault.

For over a quarter century, fans of the World of Darkness have aspired to bring their own unique World of Darkness creations to the masses, and now they can as part of the Storytellers Vault, White Wolf’s new creator content program. Beginning with Vampire: The Masquerade, aspiring writers, artists, and game designers can publish their non-canonical table top RPG supplements and fiction stories worldwide in the language of their choosing, and making half of the revenue as their royalty. To assist content creators making the best possible products, Storytellers Vault offers a considerable variety of graphical layout tools including pre-made design templates, and art-packs to choose from.

World of Darkness fans have always shared their stories with the world, and now is the time we help them to do that in an even greater scale” says CEO Tobias Sjögren. “The magic of the Storytellers Vault is supporting fans that love and want to create content from all eras of our games, we can’t wait to see what they produce and how everyone enjoys it!”

The Storytellers Vault features:

  • Self-publish service for table top RPG material set using any of the four previously published editions of Vampire: The Masquerade
  • Content creators themselves set the price for the material they publish and receive 50% of the revenue
  • Access to over 15 templates and art packs produced helps content creators make their work look as professional as the official products from any set era
  • Publishing in any language supporting the vast global World of Darkness community
  • Additional content supporting other game lines and historical settings in the White Wolf catalogue will be progressively unlocked beginning in October 2017

    If nobody else is going to do Mount Laurel by Night, starring Vlad Pretentious, Axel Blood and that whole sick crew, I may just fall on that grenade myself.

    Is White Wolf going to get its own forum at some point?

    1. Monica Avatar

      White Wolf has its own website, blog, and community interaction via Facebook pages, Twitter, etc. They’re a separate company from Onyx Path and you can comment on specific gamelines on our forums, so a separate company-specific forum doesn’t really make sense.

    Is the Storytellers Vault restricted to just VtM material?

      As above in the press release: “Self-publish service for table top RPG material set using any of the four previously published editions of Vampire: The Masquerade.” “Additional content supporting other game lines and historical settings in the White Wolf catalogue will be progressively unlocked beginning in October 2017.”

        Er, right, sorry for the redundancy. Just wanted to be sure. ^_^;

    Glad to see things moving in this direction. Now I just need to wait for Scion and Chronicles of Darkness to be opened up (just like I’m waiting on Eberron for the DM’s Guild).

      While we are planning a similar community content system which includes Scion, Scion won’t be on the Storytellers Vault. The Vault is for White Wolf’s IP. Scion is Onyx Path’s property, not White Wolf’s.

        What would be the status regarding such an endeavor but centered on Chronicles of Darkness? Likely?

          Chronicles of Darkness is White Wolf IP, so if/when is up to them. I’d expect that it’d eventually show up on Storytellers Vault.

    So how do I access to the templates? Are alternate settings with alternate timelines considered appropriate for “Storytellers Vault” like a the equivalent of DC comics “Elsworlds” books?

    I eagerly await the ability to make content for Chronicles of Darkness and Vampire: The Requiem. Until then I guess I’m left sitting here twiddling my thumbs.

    What about materials using the VtM IP but another system? For example, a Fate Core hack of Vampire the Masquerade? Or another OGL version of VtM?

      There’s an FAQ on the Storytellers Vault which describes everything permissible.
