Last news is that they have made a Chronicles of darkness setting where the gehenna didn´t happened and it kinda merges with the other universe.
So its kinda like White wolf ackowledged It was the old world of darkess who made It and restore it. Smart move. I approve.
So happy ending I suppose.
VtM metaplot in pre-2000 time period was inspired by Gehenna, the idea of the world ending and players playing during the "end times". Ofc, interest in such ideas can maintain for only so long when the expiration date passes and world actually doesn't end.
So it sort of died out, and WW handled the issue by introducing the abovementioned source material, so people still interested in Gehenna could play out their own games with it, while kind of rebooting the VtM/oWoD universe to not include Gehenna. In other words, it was up to you whether the world ended or not. Think of it as separate timelines.
As for the VtMB characters, they have not been referenced outside VtMB (except Smiling Jack) to avoid licensing issues. The characters are technically owned by Activision.
But was it the Antediluvians waking then everyone going nuts from it and eating each other? Or maybe a random blood-tsunami popping up from thin air to destroy everything? Or maybe Caine and Lilith's duel collapsed the world? Or the thinbloods by some miracle overpowered the far more powerful true vampires? Or a meteor destroyed the world? Did the planet just blew up maybe? X)
Thats what Gehenna refers to afaik. Antediluvians rising and devouring all vampires. Tbh I don't know what comes after that...
There was a lore case of one of the Antediluvians actually waking up (The Ravnos one). The event was called "week of nightmares". I don't think there are many fans to how it was written..

If Gehenna ends up not happening in the rebooted version, what ends up happening with that whole "Time of Thin Blood" thing? I would assume something would have to happen eventually to cull the herd a bit and make lower-generation vampires more commonplace. After all, I'm sure the World of Darkness would get pretty dull if it was just thin-bloods walking around. Or does VTM just kind of ignore that issue? (Keep in mind I know basically nothing about World of Darkness, since the only experience I have with it is Bloodlines)
Beckett's explaining his opinion on the superstitious stuff is pure gold too. X,D
Well older vampires aren't just going to spontaneously vanish. They are still there.
Also if an older vampire decides to sire a progeny, progeny's generation is going to be his gen + 1. Which is still decently old. Its not like all new progeny are thin-bloods.
About the thinning of blood in general, elders are still around and very difficult to kill, so low gen vamps won't die out. It's just the high gens will have higher population.
I suppose that's true. I was just thinking that over time the lower-generation ones would die out, but I suppose that isn't all that commonplace, and it would take an absurd amount of time for that to become a real problem. I'm not familiar with the population of lower-generation vampires either, so there are probably a lot more than I'm assuming.
Event 2: Bloodlines, The Video game we all know and Love is actually quite Cannon, all the Main Characters, Beckett, The Voerman Sisters, Smiling Jack, Nines Rodriguez, LaCroix have all existed, Most still do, events in the Game have and Havent occured.
Event ???: A bit that occured before the demand of V20, was The Clan Books, 13 stories usually told in the perspective of about 2 vampires of the same clan, First book covering the Toreador, to the Last covering The Nosferatu, Where a Tremere Antitribru becomes a powerful Monster with The Eye of Hazimel, an Old Ravnos Fragment.
Event Optional: The Gehenna book, Covering the End of All things, and some insight in the mysteries (and maybe even a few more questions) Concerning VTM Lore, Including a little section about Caine.
Solution A: The Chronicles of Darkness, a new take on Vampire, but in an alternate universe, The Game had less clans, and Even more questions of How Vampirism Began.
Solution B: Gehenna... Hasn't happened Yet, and Know one can really tell you why... maybe it'll never come, Maybe Gehenna was just another change in the Vampire world... This is V20, Beckett's Jyhad Diary takes place in plenty of time though basically around 2005, and makes a few Ideas for Modern Roleplay settings. Then V5 came out, and the cannon around that is... well some of it isn't quite cannon anymore due to controversy, but it tells of a Second Inquisition one that isn't unified.
