[QUOTE="zhivik, post: 8927046, member: 6966637"] The reason why there are two WoD game lines is White Wolf's decision in the early 2000s to end their original WoD series and start a new one, which launched in 2003 and was called New World of Darkness (nWoD) at the time. The idea was that the original WoD lines were all built on the premise that some apocalyptic event is imminent, so White Wolf decided to give players an ending. When Paradox acquired White Wolf, they decided to rename nWoD to Chronicles of Darkness (CoD) to avoid confusion. Paradox also decided to develop new editions of WoD, though it turned out they were better as a publisher than a developer, which is why we are at the current state of affairs. Onyx Path have produced books for both lines, and they are indeed mostly former White Wolf employees. They were the ones that did the 20th anniversary editions for the main WoD lines, and some supplements for Vampire 5e (i.e. the current edition). It seems that they are no longer getting contracts for WoD books lately - I guess it is all Renegade now - but they are still working on Exalted. And yes, Onyx Path doesn't own either WoD or CoD. They do own the Storypath system (used for Scion), as well as Scarred Lands and Trinity, and a number of niche RPG series. I have the feeling that this time Pugmire may get more attention, as its first edition went under the radar. Also, they will be completing departing from D&D, as the first edition was published under the OGL, but the new one is going to use its own D20 system. It appears the new system will not be going not too far D&D, so it will feel familiar. I wish them luck, Pugmire is a series that could a big potential, if only more people could hear about it ....
