[QUOTE="zhivik, post: 7874276, member: 6966637"] 20th Anniversary Editions are not separate lines but a kind of a revisited edition for each main line (Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Changeling, Wraith, Dark Ages). Rules and storylines have been cleaned up, the books offer plenty of options which version of the end-gaming events for each line happened (including none at all), etc. They are the best versions of classic World of Darkness lines at the moment, in my opinion. In the case of Vampire, the 20th anniversary edition is effectively its fourth edition, as it comes after two numbered editions (first and second) and a revised one (third). It is why the books published recently are 5th edition. If I remember correctly, Paradox intends to keep the 5th edition label for all lines, to avoid confusion. Meanwhile, Chronicles of Darkness lines have never stopped being developed and published, they only switched from White Wolf to Onyx Path after CCP, the owner of White Wolf before Paradox, started letting go WW developers. One of the first things Paradox did after acquiring WW was to introduce the “Chronicles of Darkness” label, as the previous name, “New World of Darkness”, was often confusing. Chronicles of Darkness lines (Requiem, Forsaken, Awakening, etc.) are now in their second edition and Paradox seem to be happy how things are going, so I expect Onyx Path to keep developing new books. I believe there are still a few books in development for 20A editions currently at Onyx Path, but you need to check their site for more info. It’s best to look at the Monday Notes posts, they always have a list with ongoing projects at the end. However, I doubt there will be new books commissioned after those in development are completed, especially after books for a newer edition are in the pipeline. [/QUOTE]
