World of Darkness
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.

Merits and Flaws
Originally posted by Eddy on the V20 Blog This document is pretty straight-forward. I took the Merits and Flaws from Vampire Revised, added in the Merits and Flaws from Guide to the Camarilla and Guide to the Sabbat, and revised them as much as possible to be more universally applicable where it made sense (as well as reorganizing them). … Read more

Songs for the Night
Originally posted by Rose on the V20 Blog When Vampire: The Masquerade debuted in 1991, it looked and felt very different from other roleplaying books. The art was a big part of that, but there was also something else. Quotes. Shakespeare, Ovid, and Alan Moore all headed sections. But so did The Cure and the Indigo Girls. … Read more
