Paradox buys White wolf from CCP

[WhiteRussian]

Q: "Is White Wolf ever going to make something?"
A: "Yes."

World of Darkness Preludes: Vampire and Mage is a two-part digital interactive fiction title, now available on Steam (also iOS).

Includes "We Eat Blood And All Our Friends Are Dead" for Vampire: The Masquerade, and "Refuge" for Mage: The Ascension.

Tried it out. Not a fan. The writing was extremely cringy.

I guess Zak Smith is another writer I'll be staying away from(along with David Hill).

Interesting... The new Dark Pack Guidelines :)

And I can now confirm Planet Vampire fits within these Guidelines. After making contact with White Wolf, it has been confirmed that although this site does host graphical content based on WW's IP, it comes under User-Generated Content and therefore is covered separately. We can now begin to adopt the Dark Pack Logo :)

Hey. Put the logo on the right side of the forum :)

It seems Paradox is taking more control over White Wolf now. IanW, does this affect Onyx Path too?

No, Onyx Path has always been a separate company. Since our founding, we've licensed the World of Darkness and White Wolf's other tabletop properties to use. The exact entity that we've licensed from has changed a couple of times, but the fact that we have the license has not.

We are still, for example, in the middle of our Kickstarter for V5 Chicago by Night. There's no reason for us to shut it down. Nothing has changed on our end.

I made this diagram of who owns which of the properties published by Onyx Path last week. It's still valid this week.

So you are not doing all the PnP books for WW but only some? And WW itself did those that caused the scandal? I always assumed Onyx Patch did all PnP stuff and WW other things...

We have the license to publish White Wolf's tabletop roleplaying games, but it's not an exclusive license. White Wolf decided to do the V5 rulebook, Camarilla book, and Anarch book by themselves, and it looks like those will be the last ones they'll do.

Chicago by Night is the first V5 book Onyx Path has worked on.

Sorry, if I show myself sceptical. I hope I will be mistaken but I heard this kind of news for years.
Since I understand that they bought license for take profit.

Onyx Path has been publishing Vampire books since 2012. We still are. Paradox published three books of their own and then stopped, to let Onyx Path and Modiphius continue with additional supplements.

I don't think it's that big a change, but YMMV.
