I think WW has done just fine for itself over the past several years being a book publisher. They make a ton of cash off their D20/D&D lines, and their mass trades, where as their “flagship” WoD products have become more boutique. For some reason it would have surprised me more if it _had_ been a gaming product….

Does it seem weird to anyone else that, given the opportunity to do something like the D&D Setting Search, WW wold choose to do it for book-length fiction?

I mean, maybe I just don’t understand WW’s core market that well, but it seems like what they need is another game product that will actually get people excited. Something at least as interesting as Morpheus, and preferably analogous to Exalted.

I think I will enter. I imagine a country run by corporations and special interest groups all governed by greedy vampires who suck the life blood out of their workers. Then by pure chance and a lot of misinformation they elect a dummy president who would be their puppet. Not to mention during this time Vampire servants would gain control of the House and Senate to further their evil plans.

muuuuahahahaha
