Up date[edit]

Why does the incorrect spelling of "vicissitude" lead to this page?--142.58.126.15 (talk) 04:20, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could some version of the WoD cover be uploaded as an image for this article under fair use? The current image is somewhat puzzling as it appears under the section detailing the history of the rulebooks but seems to have more to do with in game lore than anything else. A precedent seems to exist: I checked two other rpg pages (Dungeons and Dragons and Warhammer 40k) and those both had copyrighted covers. Anyway, just putting it out there for any autoconfirmed users who come by. HeathrowArchives (talk) 08:21, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The other world of darkness sections have their rulebooks up too. I think it would be fine. Most wiki articles about books have a picture of the cover on them. Svenxix (talk) 01:56, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Should it be mentioned that the World of Darkness is now switching over to a PDF/POD system? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reflections of Memory (talk • contribs) 02:03, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since this is a role playing game, shouldn't this have an RPG info box on it? In reality WoD covers more than just pen and paper role playing so it might be better to include the info boxes in each of the sub pages, but that would get a little redundant. Svenxix (talk) 02:00, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know that White Wolf is now referring to their older material as "Classic World of Darkness", but "Old World of Darkness" still seems to be much more commonly used among the fan community. 67.60.251.221 (talk) 04:52, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well if you can find some place that references it, go for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.144.170.174 (talk) 16:44, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing Other Rule Systems[edit]

I'm a new editor, so please forgive me if I inadvertantly break etiquette. As I read through this page, I noticed the explanation of the rules for the nWoD make many references or comparisons to the system for the oWoD. This implies a familiarity with those systems on the part of the reader. Should this section be edited to eliminate the assumption of that familiarity? Or should it be perhaps edited to include a brief comparison between the two systems as a separate paragraph or section?Lotus Watcher (talk) 17:46, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Chronicles of Darkness[edit]

The New World of Darkness is undergoing an official rebranding, now becoming the Chronicles of Darkness. Please update accordingly. 200.199.220.74 (talk) 13:17, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Umbra[edit]

Umbra (World of Darkness) redirects here (the article, not this talk page), but is not explained here. I undid the redirect recently, only for my change to be reverted; the reason given for that being that the Umbra article had been supposedly “merged and redirected after community discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Umbra (World of Darkness)”. If it had been actually “merged”, then Umbra would be explained in this (World of Darkness) article. However, after performing “find on this page” on this article, the word “Umbra” does not even appear once; I don’t consider that properly merged. Umbra is mentioned several times in the article Werewolf: The Apocalypse as an element in the plot, but is not explained (I going to fix that shortly). I strongly think that if an in-universe concept is going to be mentioned in the plot summary, then that concept must be given an explanation; either as its own article if there is a lot that needs explaining, or as a concise explanation within the article that it is mentioned.

I'll take this. If nothing happens in one week, ping me. --ProtoDrake (talk) 09:08, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexandra IDV: I've looked through this article several times, and I don't see any issues. I think this merits an Instant Pass. --ProtoDrake (talk) 18:41, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's wild, but thank you.--Alexandra^IDV 02:15, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
