time for a silly AU!!

okay folks, throw your OC in the World of Darkness wheel and let's see how they pop out. do they end up in a different game line? do they end up in a different time period? do they end up in a different genre?!

how did things turn out for your blorbo?

They're doing even better than before! 😎

It's different but interesting 👀

Somehow things have gotten worse 😨

IDEK what to do with this 🤷‍♀️

lol. lmao even 🤪

Voting ended onMar 1

please feel free to talk in the tags what results you got and how you would do it! I wanna know what folks think. and if you actually wanna dive into this AU (what kind of clan/tribe/tradition/etc would your OC switch to? what happens to their other relationships? how would they be shaped by a different time period? do they survive the End Times???) then please please do tag me! I wanna read it 😊🖤

Further notes and thoughts below:

I considered doing something like a ghoul/dhampyr/kinfolk AU, but I don't know all the lines well enough to know if there's an equivalent in each setting 😅

I tried to keep these fairly broad and stick to what's been published in WoD. I did exclude Kindred of the East for personal reasons

but that said I also hope these options don't feel fundamentally fixated on a Western perspective. the World of Darkness has a global fanbase, and includes supernatural horror stories from all over. the published books were for time periods like "the Victorian Era", but I think saying 1800s AU in your blorbo's nation works fine. I don't want this to be exclusionary or alienating, really

and ultimately my goal is for us to have fun, and hopefully inspire folks to do a little research into the other corners of the World of Darkness. who are the guilds of the arcanoi? what does the new world order want? what can you find within the umbra? I feel like I could read all these books forever, and always find something new and interesting

Another WOD thought I had.

If the main conceit of the world of darkness games is the PC's are humans trying to reconcile their humanity/morality with the monsters they are becoming or have become, then the inverse makes for particularly compelling antagonists. This becomes the monster that still carries around the vestiges and trappings of their humanity - something that was once human, but is now something else.

It makes WoD messy and complex in a very intriguing way.

I'll expound on this later.

After that unfortunate incident, their school history teacher changed. He became withdrawn, distracted, and began skipping classes. He replaced his glasses with contact lenses, started dressing differently, and even changed his hairstyle. One day, one of the students began to notice him in the company of strange people… Could it be a midlife crisis? He had changed. But not at all in the way his students thought...

Isekai story about someone from our world gets shot into the WOD, how long do you think you’d survive?

Buffs - high luck and you’ll have all of the knowledge you can from sourcebooks. Debatable if it’s factually accurate or not!
