Recently risen from the ruins of Geocities is my White Wolf Games fan material, lovingly restored for all of you. Come back often and check for updates, I'm constantly adding new stuff. I hope you like what's here; feel free to e-mail me at Facebook or MySpace and let me know what you think. You're welcome to add me to your contacts and say hello.
Props: My page is a work in progress, and I'm always refining and updating it to make it the best it can be, but it wouldn't be nearly as good as it is if it weren't for the efforts of some other people.
My friend Matt has done some excellent artwork for me on this site, in the form of individualized logos for each of the game lines. He also did some fiction work for my Debased project. Mr. Gone is hosting that netbook, by the way, as well as a huge array of custom character sheets I'm linked to. Also, while I often use my own artwork (for better or worse), there's others' work on here as well. Some of it is scanned from WW books (in accordance with their guidelines), but other art scattered about the page has been submitted by people that wanted to contribute to what I got going here, and those pieces are attributed to them.
Finally, I've applied fonts to my page. If you have the fonts installed on your computer, my page will look a lot cooler. I use "Visitation" throughout my site, including pages for the general oWoD, Mage: the Ascension, Demon: the Fallen and Aberrant; "Percolator Text" for Vampire: the Masquerade and Wraith: the Oblivion; "Werewolf" for Werewolf (neat, huh?); and "Akira" for Kindred of the East. For the new World of Darkness I use "Garish Monde" for the general nWoD pages, and "Flat Earth Scribe" for the Werewolf: the Forsaken font. Go to Mr. Gone's Page, click the Fonts link in the leftmost frame, download the fonts and install 'em. Thank you Chris for providing these fonts for all us, free of charge.
What About the Time of Judgment and the New World of Darkness?
Okay, whatabout'em?
The Time of Judgment has come and gone, and still it's business as usual in my World of Darkness. I'm not going to go into an extended whining rant here about how I don't like what White Wolf has done, they shouldn't have ended my beloved game setting, blah-blah, yadda-yadda. I'll simply say while I understand why White Wolf wrapped up the old World of Darkness, and feel it was the right move, I see no need to follow suit. I'll continue to publish new material for the "classic" World of Darkness game lines for some time to come; there are ideas I've not even yet touched on, and so many possibilities still to explore. There's still a lot of life in that dying universe to choke from it, so many more ways for the world to go to Hell before God forecloses on it completely...

Original World of Darkness Games
Vampire: the Masquerade: Vampire information including: house rules, new Discipline powers, blood magic galore, Merits and Flaws, Paths of Enlightenment, a new Brujah bloodline, a Nagaraja rewrite, and some fan fiction. And don't miss my Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom section, so big it's a site unto itself.
Kindred of the East: Tons of new information and rules for Kindred of the East, including a Revised rules patch, house rules, a new heretical Dharma, and new Disciplines, rites, Merits and Flaws, nushi spirits, magical artifacts, and more.
Werewolf: the Apocalypse: For those of you who enjoy Werewolf, I have the mongrelized Debased, the extinct Gana Changing Breed, new Merits and Flaws, house rules for Rage, guidelines for sorcery and more.
Mage: the Ascension: My modest page offers resources for Mage Storytellers and players, including new rotes and Sphere effects, Merits and Flaws, a writeup on the role of sorcery in the World of Darkness, and even a possible way around the Avatar Storm.
Wraith: the Oblivion: If you like Wraith, you should definitely visit this page. I have Revised-compatable rules patches, new Arcanoi and arts, guidelines for creating old ghosts, and even ideas for backwards-engineering Orpheus elements for use in Wraith games. Love for a good game never dies...
Demon: the Fallen: This web page is devoted to White Wolf's most evillest game, full of information for those real gamers that think Baali, Nephandi and akuma are too underpowered and nice. (Just kidding folks!) I have new Backgrounds, new Lores and rituals, and new Merits and Flaws. Also included are variant rules for the apocalyptic form and other house rules, and ideas for epic-level demons and their evocations.
General World of Darkness Resources
New Abilities: Here are four new Secondary Abilities -- Divination, Feng Shui, Lore and Pain Resistance -- potentially useful to any World of Darkness character. Also, I offer a more realistic way of handling Linguistics.
African Cosmology: The unique spiritual nature of Africa is explored here. Follow the animal ghosts of the Dark Kingdom of Ivory as they traverse the hidden crossroads between the Shadowlands and the Umbra.
Abominations: This revision of Abomination (vampiric Garou) adds an entirely new twist to these doomed characters. Included are a Storyteller section, new more balanced mechanics and a sample character.
World of Dorkiness: A small collection of faux games, parodies and other silliness. (It's debatable whether any of this actually qualifies as "humor," however...)
World of Darkness Fan Fiction: Save the snide laughing until after you read the stories, okay? Who doesn't write at least a little fanfic? Anyway, Crossover explores what happens when three outcasts pretend to be monsters to escape the monsters they are. And The First Murder: a Tale of Two Brothers: is the Caine and Abel story with a new twist -- did big brother have it coming? I have more WoD fiction spread over various pages here, though all my fanfics (and my other stories) are conveniently located in the Fiction & Poetry index.
Other Stuff
This is a small catch-all section for material that doesn't involve the original World of Darkness, but is based on White Wolf material.
The New World of Darkness: My preference for the original WoD is no secret, but that doesn't mean I can't have love for the new games. The mechanics run like a dream, and the setting has its own appeal.
The World of Darkness Hybrid Project: Do you like the original WoD setting but prefer the new system? Then this might be for you. My WoD: Hybrid Project seeks to blend the old with the new, by expressing the old games through the new rules. First is Vampire: the Middle Kingdom, a most auspicious refinement of Kindred of the East. The other completed game is Vampire: the Ebony Kingdom, a new, leaner and more efficient incarnation of Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom. More stuff in this vein to come, including a revised Land of Eight Million Dreams (the Far Eastern Changeling: the Dreaming sourcebook), so stay tuned...
Aberrant: New rules, options and powers for White Wolf's great "Trinityverse" supers game. (Note: This doesn't cover the d20 version, but the original "d10" non-utter abortion version.)
White Wolf Links
Here are some general World of Darkness links well worth checking out. (Look at my individual game pages for links specific to those game lines.)
White Wolf Home Page: Here's the obligatory link to the official White Wolf web page. The forums are a fun place to visit.
Shadownessence: Once the Dark City Project years ago, Shadownessence is an awesome forum for World of Darkness games both old and new. A very good site, I've been a member for years. Click this link or the banner below.
Kismet's World of Darkness: Here's a great page I've recently found. It has information on Vampire: the Masquerade, Changeling: the Lost and other WoD stuff. It's also a slick and well put-together page... maybe I should rip off Kismet's source code and give my own page a facelift!
B.J. Zanzibar's World of Darkness: One of the most extensive and infamous WoD fan pages. There's a lot of silliness and horrid shit, to be honest, but if you wade through it you'll find some gems. (However, keep in mind this page hasn't been updated in some time.)
Mr. Gone's Character Sheet Page: Here's an extensive listing of character sheets created by White Wolf forumite and cult leader Chris leland, a.k.a. Mr. Gone, currently under investigation by the FBI for hoarding biological weapons and for his refusal to denounce the heretical teachings in the Dirty Secrets of the Black Hand. While most of the sheets are for Vampire, there are also sheets for Demon, Werewolf, Hunter, and the new World of Darkness games. Chris even created some custom sheets for me, the links to which are spread out over the site.
Go to The Howling Void.
