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.

Seriously, I know lots of people were able to keep their cellular and Internet signals going, but I have no idea how. I have, like, 50 different … Read more
Here’s a little more WIP from the titles chapter, so you can see where some of the new material is headed. This may be my last post until the Grand Masquerade, so I wanted to give something with both settings and systems. <3>Mystic (1-point Title) <n>The Mystic Kindred is known by many appellations: sage, spiritualist, … Read more
Now that you’ve had the weekend to chew on what’s shaping up for V20 support, let’s take a look under the hood at the next book in the sequence. It’s kind of weird to think about what’s in book two when you haven’t yet seen book one in its final form, but that’s how publishing … Read more
You know why I keep doing this stuff? It’s because I love it. I love games. I love people playing games together, in particular. So when the chance came up to jump back in to this open development process, well, how can I say no to that? People working together to make great games that … Read more
Originally posted by Eddy at the V20 Blog Testing to see if the blog’s back. Rather than a boring test post, though, I thought I would put up three of the Bradstreet pieces that have been shown on the V20 Facebook page for those might have missed them.

Originally posted by Shane on the V20 Blog We were originally only going to do one of these but since the Brujah was so much fun we figure we should give the ladies equal treatment. So help us descend into madness and decide which picture of the lovely and diabolical Stacey Mell Tim will use for the … Read more
