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.

One of the most common things we’ve heard as we stepped into V20 Dark Ages was that the Road of Sin didn’t integrate well with games. Many people outright disallowed it in play. So, we wanted to take the Road of Sin, and make it more directly playable. Neall Raemonn Price, our author for the Road … Read more
Hi Everyone, This week we are featuring the artwork of one of my favorite “old skool” White Wolf artists, Mark Jackson. Back in the day, he was in every Mage book…Sons of Ether, Tales of Magick: Dark Adventure, Bygone Bestiary…the list goes on. So when Rich and I were putting together the artist roster for … Read more
Last time, I shared with you a note section based on the Tzimisce voice character. Today, I wanted to share with you a first draft of some text from our own Danielle Lauzon. This is her first draft for the Road of Kings. I don’t have a lot to say in support of this. I … Read more
Hi Everybody, Getting an earlier start today than I did on last week’s blog. This week we are revealing one more of Steve Prescott’s pieces, the Orphans “splat” (pictured to the left). Her description as written by the developer: Vaguely sheltered from a storm stands a dark-skinned Brazilian girl, late teens/ early 20s, with long … Read more
If you’re reading this blog, you’ve probably read at least a few Onyx Path/White Wolf books in the past. You’ve seen the end result of a process. Usually, this process looks something like so: 1) Developer pitches a book. 2) Publisher accepts the pitch. 3) Developer crafts an outline and hires writers. 4) Writers scribble … Read more
Hi Everybody, Time for a new art blog (okay, technically 12 hours ago was time for the new blog). Today’s preview is another awesome piece from Steve Prescott, the Templar splat from the Disparates. I really love this piece… makes me really wish he had time to work on Hunter the Vigil back in the … Read more
Inspired by Justin Achilli’s live outline discussion at Atlanta by Night for the V20 Anarchs Unbound supplement, I thought it might be kind of cool to run something similar at LA by Night. Rich and I decided that the Ghouls book would be a perfect topic for this since there is a lot of information … Read more
Good morning, internet. Have you heard about this V20 Dark Ages thing we’re doing? tl;dr, here’s the outline draft. It’s a Google Doc. First off, I’m new around the development blogs, so I felt I should introduce myself. I’m David A Hill Jr. I’ve been freelancing for White Wolf, CCP, and Onyx Path for a … Read more
