An Introduction to Urban Fantasy Role Playing
There's been talk of some kind of monster stalking people through the woods, but who believes in monsters these days?
A few minutes back, you started hearing footsteps behind you. You walked a bit faster, but so did they. You looked, but you couldn't see anything.
Now you are hearing something whispering and hissing, it sounds like they are right next to you, but you can't understand what they are saying. And still, you see nothing.
You start running now, desperate to get home.
A root trips you. You fall, hard.
You look up, and see two feet in front of you.
The feet of a . . . man? No, not a man, too tall, too thin, in a suit that looks like it belongs to the men in black. And his eyes glow red in the moonlight.
There are no monsters . . . everyone knows that.
Everyone is wrong.
The World of Horror
It Isn't Fiction
World of Darkness is described as a storytelling game of classic horror.The story is crucial in a WoD rpg. The story of the character, the story of the world. And every story in World of Darkness is, or can be, one of horror.
Imagine what it would be like to wake up one day and discover you aren't human anymore, and your daughter looks like a tasty snack.
Imagine walking though a park and hearing the howls of a hunting wolf pack - as they begin to chase you.
Imagine being stolen away from you life, like Rip Van Wrinkle, to return and find everyone you know if dead, the world has changed beyond recognition - and you are now a creature of flame, with hair of fire and skin like hot coals.
Imagine lying everyday to those you love in order to protect them.
Imagine giving your life every day to protect the ones you love from a world full of monsters, and knowing for everyone you catch, thousands more remain.
Now think about something. These things happen, in the real world. Every day.
The pedophile who knows what he is - and hates it.
The victim of a city gang.
The inmate of a mental asylum or prison, released after 20 years.
The FBI agent, or special ops warrior whose history is a single sheet labeled "top secret"
The police man who goes out every day to fight real monsters, knowing he may not win this fight, and praying his family doesn't become pawns in his war.
Our world, the real world, is a world of horror hidden behind a screen of normalcy.
The World of Darkness takes that horror, and makes it something we can face, something we can fight. Something we can try to overcome.

If You Could Be Any Supernatural Creature . . .
In the World of Darkness, you can be anything you want. Werewolves, Vampires, and Mages are common. Prometheans - think Frankenstein and other nasties created by magic - are a secret even to other monsters. Changelings - humans twisted by the Fae into anything imaginable, but pretending to the world they are still human.
Hunters also exist, with supernatural blessings that allow them to take down the monsters among us.
And odd monsters no one has ever seen before are wandering as well.
