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.

Originally posted by Justin on the V20 Blog I’ve never much enjoyed the Setites in actual play. I like them enough as an idea, but the idea always felt a little too narrow in practice. Black guy with dreads? HE’S A SETITE. That always felt very limiting, especially if the idea was to offer a … Read more
Originally posted by Justin on the V20 Blog This one was a lot of fun to write, because the Toreador are such ideal vampires, and because it’s enjoyable to get all florid with them. I don’t think there’s much here that will be contentious. I do need to seed a few references to the various … Read more
Originally posted by Eddy on the V20 Blog Quick bit of set-up: I’ve moved into a new position at CCP/White Wolf, and the most immediate consequence of that is that I have more time to help out with V20. Justin asked me to help him with some of the heavy lifting on the main V20 … Read more
Originally posted by Rose at the V20 Blog You’ve got the keys to the penthouse and the Jag. Your expense account is practically bottomless. Nobody knows what you do, but whatever it is, they’re jealous. To you, though, none of that matters. All that matters is the Blood. You need it, they have it. The … Read more
Originally posted by Rich at the V20 Blog A quick Easter treat for the eyes to go with all the chocolate bunny ears everyone not doubt has gorged themselves on. Below are two pieces by Jesper Myfors- the first in black and white from the VtM 2e Players’ Guide, the second is a new color … Read more
Originally posted by Justin at the V20 Blog Look at these Gangrel I found loitering in the back parking lot and giving me the stink-eye. The thing that needs the most stress-testing here is — hey, surprise! — clan weakness. Now, the only thing the rule stipulates is the appearance of the animal features upon … Read more
Originally posted by Rich on the V20 Blog Last time I posted, I mentioned how wonderful it is to be able to work again with the talented artists that helped make VtM the aesthetic benchmark that it was. One of my favorite illustrators, and favorite artists to art direct, has got to be William O’Connor. … Read more
Originally posted by Shane on the V20 Blog So as many of you know we are fortunate enough to have our old friend Tim Bradstreet returning to do the main 13 Clan spreads like he originally did. As many of you know Tim, like many artists uses real models as part of his photo-realistic look. … Read more
Originally posted at the V20 Blog Can you FEEL the Ravnosery? This one was a challenge to write. On the one hand, there’s a lot of Revised-era work that went toward expanding the clan from their original, somewhat shallow concept. On the other hand, the clan spreads are overviews that give only broad-strokes impressions of … Read more
