World of Darkness versus Chronicles of Darkness

[Dataweaver]

You know, I don't think they did. In context, it looks like they were using “nWoD” to refer to V5 and the like. Thanks for pointing that out; I was having trouble making sense of their post until I realized that.

If that's what Iguazu was doing, please don't; as Heavy Arms pointed out, “new World of Darkness” is what the Chronicles of Darkness was (unofficially) called way back in the early 2000s when the original World of Darkness was retired and games like Requiem, Forsaken, and Awakening were introduced as their replacements. In fact, the Chronicles of Darkness only became the Chronicles of Darkness (namewise) very recently, after Paradox acquired the World of Darkness IP and insisted that what up until then had been called the new World of Darkness needed to be rebranded. Using “new World of Darkness” to refer to what Paradox has done with the IP goes counter to over a decade of usage of the term.

I don't mind Vampire The Reqium, but I'm a bigger fan of Vampire The Masquerade, Mage The Awakening, Promethan The Created & Changeling The Lost myself.

You do that that the "nWoD" and the "CofD" are just different editions of the same game right? Switching from "nWoD to CofD" is just moving from the first edition of the game to the second edition of the game; it's not nearly on the same level as cWoD vs. nWoD/CofD.

Yeah. I know.

Yeah. I know.

Then why the need to clarify between nWoD and ChroD/CofD/etc.?

I feel like there was probably a unintended bit of communication, give you mention not minding a Chronicles game, than mention being a bigger fan of it's World counterpart, and then go back to listing Chronicles games. Are you saying, with the exception of Masquerade, more a fan of Chronicles games than World, or something else?

You don't.

[ArcaneArts]

You don't.

But you did.
