general media THE World of Darkness Thread

[Scion of Arcadia 69]

I find there is surprisingly few people who know of the World of Darkness, be it the original Classic/Old or the rebooted New. Which is a real pity because if you're into to dark and gothic modern fantasies, it really is a great choice. Well no more!

 

This is the largest community I know and there are bound to be more of you ponies out there who enjoy this world. So let us congregate here to discuss it, and with luck perhaps even assemble a crew if there are such entrepreneuring ponies. And if you don't know of the franchise? Please ask! I'll gladly answer questions to the best of my abilities and I'm sure if others reply here, they might too.

 

No but seriously, this thing needs more attention.

Eeyup. He knows about the rebooted World Of Darkess. I've got books scattered though my house about the original version.

I don't know. When people see gaming, most of the time they think video games. That this is not. ...Well, except for the old original Xbox game 'Hunter: The Reckoning Redeemer'. Or the unfinished PC game 'Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines.'

 

In any case, I feel if I post this as a gaming thread, most people will automatically assume it's a video game and they'd prefer not to look at a game they aren't particularly interested in getting. Even if it is still a game.

What, nobody? I know it's no D&D, but surely the game has to have its followers. I mean, with everybody here?

 

How can there not be an intersection between fans of a show about pastel colored ponies preaching the power of friendship and fans of a depressing world where victory is measured in how long before you loose your grip on reality? ...Wait...

NOOO! Why? Why?! Everytime something comes up, it gets beaten and turned aside. Why can't we have nice things?!

 

I just found out that there actually was World of Darkness game coming out. An MMORPG made by CCP games. It was announced in 2006 and planned for 2012. But delays happened, they started working on a new game, there were some layoffs. And in 2014, they cancelled it. Seriously, why does this keep happening?! D&D can get off multiple games in multiple timelines. Why can't White Wolf get a day in the sun? How much money do I have to spend to secure a proper game for us?
