This post is / was now meaningless in the wake of recent news.

"Swedish publisher Paradox has purchased “White wolf and all properties” from EVE Online firm CCP – a final nail in the coffin of the latter’s troubled plans for a World Of Darkness MMO. This also means that Paradox now owns the rights to Vampire: The Masquerade."

Thank you CCP. So very, very much.

TL;DR: I'm only suggesting use of the Storyteller, tabletop, gaming system in this post, ~not~ the WoD IP.

You know how CCP bought up all the WWGS IP for the failed WoD Vampire mmo? Furthermore, the fact that they've not done too much with it beyond be IP trolls with indy mods that have tried to expand the now many years old Bloodlines PC game?

Wouldn't it be cool if CCP got some of the WWGS tabletop writers / developers to use the Storyteller mechanics / system as a platform for an early civilizations (Yan Jung, Takh Mal, etc. ) of Eve tabletop game setting? Or a setting within New Eden shortly after it was discovered via the Eve Gate.

Would be a lot more appealing than buying Eve "Source" which really should have been part of the eve wiki & website alongside the Eve Chronicles that used to be fixtures of weekly logins to the Eve website.


A cyberpunk-ish RPG featuring unsavoury baseliners jacked up in implants and boosters occasionally venturing out of the unsavoury underbellies of Villore in the universe of Eve Online would be nice. Anything that will shed light on what it is like to live in this universe outside the confines of a spaceship.

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.
