[edit] History

The Storyteller System predominantly saw use in the original World of Darkness and in the Street Fighter RPG.

[edit] First Edition

[edit] Second Edition

[edit] Revised Edition

The Revised Edition was a broad attempt to clean up, standardise and consolidate not only the rules of the World of Darkness games, but also the metaplot and various loose ends. It incorporated a large number of rules changes, many from the Revised Storyteller System, though several key features - variable target numbers, Ability categories, etc. - remained to make a distinction between the two systems.

The Revised Edition was used for the final editions of the World of Darkness games, beginning with Vampire: The Masquerade Revised Edition in 1998. Werewolf and Mage followed, and the Revised system was also used for Hunter: The Reckoning, Mummy: The Resurrection, Demon: The Fallen, the new Dark Ages line, Victorian Age: Vampire and - in further modified form - Orpheus. Changeling: The Dreaming, Wraith: The Oblivion, the minor games and the other historical settings did not get Revised editions; books published for these lines after 1998 rarely made explicit reference to the new rules, but conversions for some, most notably Kindred of the East, were included in the Vampire Storytellers Handbook Revised.
