  Vampire (World of Darkness) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 RPGnet: Review of The Darkness
The premise of Darkness is one that fans of horror movies are no doubt familiar with - a family moves into an old house only to discover that it is haunted by an evil force (which, frustratingly, remains undefined for the duration of the film).
The first fourty-five of Darkness is little more than a plodding, slow-paced, character introduction sequence that, at times, resembles many after school television specials aired in the 1980s - and, despite its length and slow pacing, it is completely uninformative.
The second (and equally glaring) short-coming of Darkness is the lack of any discernable plot during the majority of the film.

 When Darkness Arrives
If we embrace fundamentalism we are in fact embracing the darkness and ignoring the messages of love and light found throughout humanity in various formats of faith, philosophies and ideologies.
If you spend your life not concerned for the world around you or the others who abide in the world, you will never find the light you seek for you will have actively lived a life aiding in destroying creation and scaring the beauty and goodness God found within it.
The solution to the darkness of life is found in the strength of heart, soul and mind to embrace life in all its glory both in good and in bad times, realizing that this life is a journey.

She mentions that "darkness" was an important element of her earlier music, and that this affected its reception.
She also mentions that the dark elements of her work were not always consciously created, but that as she became more aware of these forces, she continued to use them, since they are part of our human existence.
In these responses one sees elements we rightly or wrongly associate with the maternal: the embracing of the world as if caring for its children; the integration of the spiritual and physical in a nurturing way; the response of gentleness, compassion, and receptivity in the face of ignorance and egoistic separation.

A Unified World of Darkness is the original intention of the game and its developers in which the different system species may not have teamed up to play 'Super friends', but they did all inhabit the same single reality.
All was a mystery for these newborn eyes, and the world was a wonderful land of exploration: to touch, to feel, to reach out for the world and have it reach back; to meld with it and separate and meld again for the sheer joy of it.
A world where monsters creep around the shadows and have societies every bit as detailed and divergent as human civilization is not new, it is the premise of Films like Nightbreed, with its Tribes of the moon, The Sonja Blue books, and the TV show Buffy the Vampire slayer to name but a few.

 Wonderland - Foreword
In ancient times, when the world was young and magic thrived, Ariel was a forest nymph, a seductive elfin creature who kept to her woods and streams, occasionally ensnaring mortal men and women for her own pleasures.
Eventually, it was this fascination with humans which led Ariel out into the wider world, and over the course of millennia, she gradually evolved beyond her fey origins to become a wandering bard, a fearless explorer, and a knight of the Sidhe-dominated Fae courts.
Yet it's also a world of strange, dark beauty, where miracles and magic are always there to be discovered in the dust, and where the courtly elegance of bygone ages lives on with solemn grace.

 Vampire Diary: The Embrace Review :: d20 Magazine Rack :: Are You Game Enough?
The book itself is written as the diary of a young man who finds himself in the World of Darkness and chronicles his ‘embrace’ into the undead life of the Ventrue clan of vampires.
It very effectively conveys the horror of the Embrace, the inclusion of the letter and the card and the artistic design of the book gives the impression that this is a real diary and not a novel.
A short and very frightening tale of an innocent young man being embraced into an unknown world of vampires, this story is told in a unique and terrifyingly real way.

The Travellers also feel the urge to procreate, and they embrace and teach vivid dreamers who are usually disregarded by their human relations for their fantasy-filled lives.
They stumble through this world trying to change everything they do not like by an exertion of will as they do in dreams and are slow to learn that they cannot do this.
Dream Dancers led a secluded life of dreams and fantasies before the embrace and are quite unlikely to have more than a few basic insights into skills and knowledges.
