World of Darkness

The World of Darkness, both the Old and New releases are an Urban Fantasy universe, book series, and role playing game system published and released by White Wolf Publishing. The series is set in what is supposedly its own version of the modern world, only with almost every human being having an IQ of 3 or lower, and with fantastic elements such as Vampires, Werewolves and Mages.

The game system has been criticized for its poor balance, and the continuum itself attracts a combination of criticism and ridicule for its overpowered, angsty supernatural mary sue player characters, speshul invincible Canon Sue villains, wildly inconsistent, contradictory and convoluted metaplots and a completely unbelievable and unrealistic setting out of line with the modern world.
