[QUOTE="TreChriron, post: 7689162, member: 5046"] On the lines, here's what I see from the clearly explained situation thus far; 1. The newly formed White Wolf, subsidiary to Paradox, will maintain the BRAND World of Darkness. The first RPG produced by them will be VtM4e. This was done so Paradox can explore licensing the IP with little confusion as to what they are licensing. 2. Onyx Path is now licensed to maintain the BRAND Chronicles of Darkness. This was the "new" World of Darkness 2nd Edition that started with The God Machine Chronicle derived from the "new" World of Darkness developed after the "old" World of Darkness was retired. 3. Onyx Path will continue to produce 20th Anniversary editions of classic games under license from Paradox (White Wolf) until all the 20A games are complete. Think of these as "special projects". As a customer, and having started reading through the CofD book, I believe it would be a great starting point to introducing people to CofD settings and the game in general. The CofD book starts out as mortals who investigate the Things That Go Bump In The Night, or get wrapped up in plots involving Dark Things. It would be the perfect jumping off point, a great entry into the genre. Then you take the game in a "deeper" direction with Vampires, Werewolves, Mages, Demons, Beasts, etc. You don't need to wait for VtM4e, unless you want to. I feel like all the "I don't get it" nonsense is disingenuous. Both companies simply want to be able to produce these games, in tandem, without confusing each other's work. Is it really that hard to accommodate them? It's really simple. White Wolf (Paradox) controls the World of Darkness brand (WoD). Onyx Path is licensed to control the Chronicles of Darkness brand (CofD). Think of the 20a Kickstarters as a special project producing the first iteration of the games in collector's editions for the fans. 20th Anniversary editions, "classic" editions, OWOD = WoD nWOD, nWOD2e, God Machine Chronicle = CofD Easy. Breezy. Darkness Girl. [/QUOTE]
