CCP + White Wolf = Awesome

Turn the way back machine to about 2005 and you'll find me kinda giddy that Eve Online creator's CCP purchased up RPG producer White Wolf wholesale. I always admired the World of Darkness setting over others in my teen years. And even though the setting has changed a bit after White Wolf holding true and actually putting out splat books that cover the actual end of their world, a feat that is impressive by itself for commercial reasons alone let alone creatively, I still like how the WoD does Vampires, Werewolves, and everything in between.

The Underworld movies owe themselves to their RPGs as much as they might owe Anne Rice.

And yet my favorite MMO producer and all around good company purchased my favorite RPG producer. Awesome things should have happened, but they didn't. Things got quiet and faded from my immediate memory.

Color me impressed that they are doing something with the property.

Edit: Woah, wait, what. I just noticed this: The game is set against the MASQUERADE setting and not the newer Requiem. Wow. Nostalgia goggles go.
