The World of Darkness is much like our own, only it is seen through the eyes of a cynic. Dawns are never quite so bright, nights are darker and more dangerous, there are those who fight but they face an uphill battle that only gets steeper. It is a world that seems designed to crush out the sparks of hope in humanity and one that has monsters lurking in every shadow. Of course, some of those monsters fight harder than others to push back the darkness; Changelings seek the wonder in all things and promote creativity in the humans around them, the Changing Breeds fight for a world where humanity lives in harmony with nature rather than pillaging it for its riches. Mages bend reality to their will while ensuring nothing goes *too* far, even the predatory Vampires seek their own passions and pleasures as they manipulate society from the shadows.

The nature of the World of Darkness is one that invites often uncomfortable themes. Corruption, confusion, the search for a new identity. It is a society hiding struggles, secret and otherwise, where people try to break free of the daily grind but may find that their rebellion leads to more danger and a different darkness than they expected. Is it not worth it though? Worth the danger to see the world as it really is rather than the blinkered striving only for normalcy? That is for you to decide.

The system of the game is Old World of Darkness using 20th Anniversary with some adjustments through house rules. The game takes place in San Diego, California in modern day on a 1:1 ratio.
