CCP and White Wolf Celebrate 15 Years of Gaming on the Dark Side
Leading independent game developer CCP | WW to host anniversary party during Gen Con Indy
ATLANTA Aug. 13, 2007 - In the summer of 1991, only one word mattered in the hobby game industry. One word and one game took tabletop adventures to a new level of creative chaos, seizing an unsuspecting generation of gamers by their collective throats and never letting go. That word, that game: Vampire. The industry never knew what hit it, and it has never been the same since.
Now in the summer of 2007, the thirst for more has never been slaked as the Vampire legacy, which has evolved to become the core franchise in the trend setting World of Darkness series, continues to grow darker and richer with each compelling new release. Celebrating the 15th anniversary of this wildly popular RPG phenomenon, CCP | White Wolf will once again invade Gen Con Indy--August 16-19, Booth 522, at the Indianapolis Convention Center--with their unique brand of monsters, mischief and mayhem.
Friends, fans and fiends are invited to join them for an over-the-top night of music and debauchery, in their signature hedonistic style, on Saturday, August 18, at Club Industry from 9 pm to 2 am. Invitations will be available at the CCP | WW booth.
(Over the years, our parties have become as legendary as our games themselves,) said Mike Tinney, President of CCP North America | White Wolf. (It gives us a great opportunity to get together with the people who inhabit the other-worlds we've helped to create and kick back and share a couple of drinks together.)
During Gen Con Indy, CCP | WW will be launching the new installment of the World of Darkness series, Changeling: The Lost, a storytelling game of beautiful madness. For more information, visit www.white-wolf.com/gencon/.
