Also, the game mechanics of various Storytel ler system flavours are not necessarily mutually compatible, even when comparing, say, VtM 1e and WtA 1e, or VtM Revised and MtA Revised. Ultimately experienced GMs tend to prefer not even trying to make a single unified variant of the world. The original World of Darkness was implicitly a shared setting, but each game line had some discrepancies that could not be fully reconciled with other game lines, particularly in terms of cosmology. They have radically different cosmologies, design philosophies etc. World of Darkness (Classic) and Chronicles of Darkness (formerly unofficially known as 'new' World of Darkness) are a spiritual predecessor/successor pair, not part of the same setting.Ĭhangeling the Lost 2nd edition is not a 4th edition because is only connected with its namesake through the very broad theme of dealing with fae. (Gold star if you use an actual flowchart.) So can someone please explain which versions and editions of the different World of Darkness core settings are connected? Seriously, it feels like you'd need some sort of flowchart just to figure out which games are connected and which are compatible with each other from a rules and from a meta plot perspective.Īnd that's not even counting all the different historical spin-offs. My 2nd edition should technically be the 4th edition if you count number of Changeling RPG core books instead of numbering after settings. Same thing with my favourite game of Changeling. A couple of editions of Vampire the Masquerade, a couple of editions of Vampire Gehenna, a Vampire the Masquerade 20th years anniversary edition and a 5th edition VtM that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the rest of World of Darkness besides the White Wolf logo on the back. You have old World of Darkness, new World of Darkness or Chronicles of Darkness.
I just got my kick-starter copy of Changeling the Lost 2nd Ed and I am starting to dip my toe back into the World of Darkness after a long absent.Īnd I found out that it is confusing as hell trying to figure out which versions and editions of the different versions goes with which.
