If anyone’s into the Classic World of Darkness, I’m translating the Dark Ages core rules into LaTeX so anyone can hack about with them.

Plans (in various stages of completion):

  • Include a ‘Dark Ages’ option, which makes things look like the Dark Ages books, and changes rules, like replacing ‘driving’ with ‘riding’, and switching examples.
  • Include a ‘Vampire’ toggle, so that Vampire-specific rules, like Disciplines, or lists of clans, get included just when that toggle’s on.
  • Add Contest rules instead of Combat rules (mostly done) because I don’t like how WoD does combat.

I’ve always found it weird that WoD repeated the rules for each game. This way, there’s no repetition in the writing (just the output).

No idea if I’ll have time to finish the project, but if anyone else lives in the small Venn intersection of LaTeX and old WW books, PRs are very welcome.

    Update: I’ve added Vampire (like 90% finished).
