Excerpt from Monte Cook's World of Darkness in Game Trade Magazine

[Glyfair]

The latest Game Trade Magazine has a 4 page excerpt from Monte Cook's World of Darkness. The 4 page spread is all fluff, with no crunch.

I've never read any of the WoD books, so my making a comparison would be pointless. I can give a list of the headings.

The World You Knew
The Edge of Nightmare
The Shattering of the Cities
The Intrusion - The Ravaging of the Twin Cities
After the Intrusion - The Fallout
The Search
Coping With the Blow'
The Dissidents
A Resolution

Basically the campaign is set in a post-apocalyptic Minneapolis (very localized - the rest of the world seems fine). The Apocalypse was a interdimensional event.

Basically the campaign is set in a post-apocolyptic Minneapolis. The Apocolypse was a interdimensional event.

I want to see more!

For those interested there is actually a good amount of teasers and spoilers on the White Wolf website. You can get a very good idea of what MC is going for here. It's completely original and not really anything like the backstory presented in current or previous versions of the World of Darkness.

The White Wolf site has been running great previews for a while now. The setting looks pretty good -- it's not oWoD or nWoD, by any means -- and the OGL stuff looks like a wonderful resource to raid for other D20 games, if nothing else.

After I grab up the M&M Paragons module and campaign setting, this is my next big RPG purchase.

Sounds like Gamma World.

It seems that magnificent bastard has done it again. Apparently, Monte Cook has invented the lightning bottler.

Sounds like Gamma World.

Which edition of Gamma World has eldritch horrors from another reality intruding on our own, and creating sleeper agents intended to bring about the end of the world?
