White Wolf have announced the creation of the Storytellers Vault program to allow fans to create, share and sell new content based on their World of Darkness games. The program is being launched at Gen Con, where White Wolf will be sharing a booth with licensee Onyx Path Publishing (Booth 501).
For more than two decades, World of Darkness fans have aspired to join the ranks of White Wolf’s content creators, and now they can. The Storytellers Vault is White Wolf’s community content creation program where writers, designers and artists get to share their works with the world. The Storytellers Vault program will offer no less than ten different templates designed to look and feel just like a White Wolf product available on the shelf from past eras. This is the perfect time to pull out your old notes on that unique Bloodline you created or to write up your own chronicle as a By Night. You provide the ideas - we provide the tools.
The Storytellers Vault program will begin with access to create fiction and tabletop supplements for Vampire: The Masquerade (all four existing editions), and will then expand in the future to include historical settings, other game lines and Minds Eye Theatre. In addition to being able to create and share your own Vampire: The Masquerade material, the Storytellers Vault will let you set a price for your product and sell it. You will in turn keep 50% of the revenue from that sale.
While material in the Storytellers Vault is not considered canonical, White Wolf will be keeping a keen eye out for truly exceptional content.
Update from White Wolf's Shane DeFreest "The Storytellers Vault will be almost identical to DM's Guild except we are launching with all 4 editions of VTM and the ability to publish fiction. We will be letting people use our trade dress, where the other programs don’t to the best of my knowledge, so you can make the books look exactly like a real vampire book from a set era. WorldofDarkness.com is a D&D Beyond ish community portal that will start with support for MET and V20. This will give a robust amount of tools for running troupes, chronicles and fan clubs. It’s the Tesla to Grapevine's VW Bug. Gen Con is when the open beta for worldofdarkness.com goes live."
