World of Darkness

Really several systems combined into one Storyteller universe. The first, Vampire: The Masquerade, is arguably the most famous of the settings. Also included are Werewolf: The Apocalypse and Mage: The Ascension as the basic settings. Other settings have been incorporated, allowing players to select from almost any supernatural creature imaginable.

The settings are based on the Storyteller game system, which is more point based and allows players extreme flexibility in creating their particular characters.

The "New" version of World of Darkness doesn't have the same breakdown of individual systems for each type of character - rather it is an all inclusive Storyteller System that allows customization based on choice, and combines elements from all the disparate games.

Game System - Trinity

In 1997, White Wolf Game Studio attempted a new addition to their gaming catalog - a trilogy of RPGs using the same game system, and occuring at different points in the fictional universe's time line. Although the games were published in reverse order, with Trinity being the first actually published, the 3 games chronologically are Adventure!, Aberrant, and then Trinity.

Adventure!
Set in 1924, Adventure! is a pulp action setting, and the game book itself was published in sepia tones to evoke the mood of that time period. Daredevils, Mesmerists and Stalwarts explore and seek the cause of the release of Telluric energy. This is what causes the heroes to gain their powers, and sets the foundation for the next two games.

Aberrant
A super hero based game set in 2008, this is the second of the trilogy and deals with the near future, and the ways in which the Telluric energy has change society.

Trinity
Trinity is in the 22nd century, and deals with the aftermath of a great war that started in the Aberrant time era.

The three games were all originally published utilizing the Storyteller game system, and were later re-released under the d20 system.
