The World of Darkness

The setting for all of White Wolf's modern fantasy and horror games.

The original World of Darkness, in which Demon was set, was defined more by common conceits ("you are the monster") and tone ("dark, real dark") than setting details, which varied sharply from game to game.

In addition to Demon, our campaign Strange as Angels draws bits and pieces from other World of Darkness games, including Orpheus? and Vampire: The Masquerade.

The original World of Darkness lines all ended by March of 2004, making way for a new World of Darkness in August 2004.

Comment by Russell:
Worth noting that I'm not comfortable saying that Strange As Angels is set in the World of Darkness. That suggests that we concern ourselves with major elements of the setting as a whole- things like the Umbra or the Technocracy, for example. We don't- most of the background stuff for the game comes from non-game sources or other games, such as WitchCraft?.
