Chronicles of Darkness. Close relative to World of Darkness. Vampire: The Requiem, Mage: The Awakening, and other games about playing a supernatural being in secret in the modern day. I'm a big fan, and slightly salty that the other versions of the games are more supported.
I thought those were WoD. So only the Masquerade and their ilk are WoD?
They split. It's confusing. I don't know the details.
In the 90s there was Masquerade. That was the world of darkness.
In the early 2000s they did a reboot. That was Vampire: the requiem. That was called nwod (new world of darkness)
Then I don't know what happened. The old games got new editions or something, but so did the new games. So there's a vampire: the requiem 2nd edition. That's called Chronicles of Darkness. CofD. But there's also new vampire the masquerade games.
It's confusing. I should probably just look it up. I'm slightly salty about it because I liked the reboot stuff better.
I see. I was never drawn to it, even through the mechanics, from what I heard, seemed interesting.
