Paths of Storytelling: Vampire (EPUB)
This was White Wolf's April Fool's Joke for 2011. Below is the original text in its entirety. THIS IS THE EPUB (iBOOKS/NOOK) VERSION.
You can buy a full-featured PDF or the Kindle version¸ or download the original manuscript scan for free.
Sometimes my job at White Wolf requires me to dig around in our archives. Mostly I'm looking for a long-lost CD with a particular piece of art or the layout files for an old book¸ but once in a while I stumble across old contracts¸ ad copy¸ and submissions.
A few weeks ago¸ I ran into this manuscript¸ in a folder labeled "Paths of Storytelling" and a hand-written note that said "No. Absolutely not. -SW." It looks like something we worked on right around the time of Vampire: The Masquerade Revised. The cover sheet appears to be missing¸ so I don't know who originally submitted it¸ or even if it was done by one writer.
Since it's the 20th anniversary of Vampire: The Masquerade¸ I thought it might be cool to share this strange piece of missing history. I scanned it as best as I could¸ and we used some old assets from our fiction archive to make a pretty digital version. Enjoy this glimpse into what might have been.
