World of Darkness
The World of Darkness is much like our world, but it is darker, more devious and more conspiratorial — an aesthetic we call “Gothic-Punk”. The dichotomy between the rich and the poor, the influential and the weak, and the powerful and the powerless is much more pronounced than in the real world. Decadence, cynicism, and corruption are common. Humans are unwitting victims or pawns of vast secret organizations of supernatural creatures. Vampires, werewolves, and mages (among others) struggle with internal factionalism and against other species in secret wars of intrigue for control.
The World of Darkness (sometimes “WoD”) was first developed in 1991 with the release of Vampire: The Masquerade. It has reached hundreds of millions of people through thousands of books published in a wide variety of languages, as well as via a prime-time television show, multiple well-regarded video games, and even World of Darkness-focused conventions. Onyx Path Publishing offers dozens of role-playing game, fiction, art, and clothing products for the World of Darkness, as well as helping to re-release hundreds of original books through PDF and print-on-demand.

Just as a note, the V20 Companion and Children of the Revolution sites have been consolidated and moved to one central location: www.whitewolfblogs.com/v20. Now all future V20 open development will be in one location. Enjoy!
First things first. Let me state that I really appreciate all the feedback we get on these posts. Clearly we’re not going to be able to make everyone happy when you have different factions wanting different things out of the book, but it’s nice to not damn the torpedoes and forge ahead blindly. We like … Read more
One of the chapters of W20 is the Allies chapter: Kinfolk, spirits and totems, and yes, we’re putting some bits of the Lost Tribes in there. This shouldn’t be a surprise, since you’ve already seen the sketches. Well, here’s a stab at the format. We’re not using advanced metaplot to make them show up in … Read more
The full text of Children of the Revolution is up here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18J5p636V-OrGcF1ZI4c3pfV7m_mwNPLjK8X3oE-97oA/edit Feel free to share with friends and leave a comment. The book is in layout right now, and the art is (I believe) in CCP’s hands for approvals. This was a trying book to work on. It fell right in the middle of … Read more
Short post today, heavy audience participation with luck. Werewolf‘s built on an interesting framework. It incorporates myth, zoology, ecology, and splatter horror into a combination that manages to work as a whole. It’s hard to imagine another game that could be prepped for by consuming Silent Spring, Egil’s Saga, The Mind of the Raven and … Read more
Right now I’m deeply involved with Chapter Nine: The Enemy. I understand this is something that will have a lot of you particularly interested, what with Black Spiral Dancers, a number of fomori powers rapidly approaching that of the original Freak Legion itself, Banes and other spirits, other supernaturals, and a treatment of Pentex — … Read more

Their coven had convened to ensorcel their hostess, the Queen Victoria, who had become morose after the death of her husband the Prince Consort Albert. Led … Read more
Per request, a Lasombra privateer. The tone’s a bit different with this one, allowing for a bit more action-and-adventure-style Vampire chronicles. Esperanza Lucifer, the Devil’s Darling Few Kindred are so renowned as to be known beyond the limits of the city in which they have made their haven. The interests of the Damned are almost … Read more
The Introductory chapter for Children of the Revolution is up for review over at Google Docs or Google Drive or Google Donks or whatever it is right now. I’ve turned commenting on so you can leave a remark in-line as opposed to appended to the bottom of the text like you’d have to do here. … Read more
