calgarybynight.yuku.com/directoryYep. I am a glutton for punishment. Note, this isn't going to be anything massive and serious, it's just a fun little side thing I'm looking to get started.

What the hell? What is that? Looks like it's been up for months, with no significant registrations or activity.

That's my board. And it has been up for a while. I'm still working on it and such, and working on potential story threads, but most of the story threads are right now offline work. It's an RP forum for the new World of Darkness stuff.

You make me sad in ways I have never felt before. But I'll explain. The World of Darkness is White Wolf Publishing's biggest game series. They are kind of like the new kid on the block, or were 10 years ago I should say, in the tabletop gaming industry. Where TSR and Wizards of the Coast are the old grandpas on the porch. They had a great deal of success with they games Vampire: The Masquerade, Mage: The Ascension and Werewolf: The Apocalypse back then. They expanded putting out a number of other series all tying into their World of Darkness and it was only a handful of years ago they brought that whole "World" to an end with a final book to the set. Recently they've come out with a new World of Darkness series, breathing new life back into the old ideas but also going a step farther and retooling it all to better equal out. The new series, unlike the old, is much easier to swap characters between the different titles and even play mortal characters, which couldn't really be done back in the old system.

New Kids of the block is pretty misleading. World of Darkness is more like mid-life crisis. You want things like Unknown Armies for the new kids; and even thatis dodgy status these days. Essentially, it's RPing directed at gothtards and emo-kids, although Depravity shows that sane people can like it too.

People still play P&P RPGs!?
Damn, I don't think I've even played them since the mid or late 80s!

Shit, they've done some expanding since Wizard of the Coast bought and ruined D&D.
It's really a shame that so much proprietary stuff is garbage, though.

Thanks Captain. I appreciate the fact that you think I'm sane. It shows I'm still a damn fine actor. Mwahaha! But yes, sadly, I will say a lot of White Wolf's stuff has gotten a stain upon it because of all the emo-goth wanna-be vampires and such. Personally I think it's very silly to want to be sad and depressed but whatever.
When it comes to the World of Darkness I choose to look at it kinda like the folks at White Wolf describe it. Simply put: "This is a world when things go bump in the night, where things stalk the darkness. It's a world that looks normal enough until you scratch past the surface and see what lays hidden underneath."
I've always liked that style of a world where only those part of that hidden society really know about it. ^_^ I'm also a huge fan of horror flicks so A+ on vampires and werewolves. Mages are always awesome and it's hard not to be curious about playing a character who was created a la Frankenstein's monster, a mockery of life.
But that's just me. If anyone is interested in playing I'd more than be happy to welcome you.

I was always more of a Ravenloft man, since it had style. Then WotC came along and it went pearshaped, especially when they hawked it off to White Wolf, and it could no longer draw upon its origins in D&D canon.

Definitely agreed on the tragedy that is the modern Ravenloft franchise. It's also a shame they changed the Great Wheel to be just Greyhawk's cosmology, as I preferred it as Planescape presented it being the end-all-be-all of all AD&D cosmologies. |

Hell, there were AD&D Ravenloft PC games, IIRC. Man, things really have changed.

Shit, I remember when they gave FR it's own cosmogeny, after it was already part of the whole multiverse via Planescape.
That was one of the last straws for me, killing Planescape.
