I don't know where to put this thread at but for those who play the WoD games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Darkness), I wonder if it's possible to set in a Post-Revolutionary society setting and I wonder how (Vampires, Werewolves, Mages, Wraiths, Fae/Changelings, Demons, Hunters, Mummies, etc) would survive such a setting? Although I thought it would provide a good visual image of what a post revolutionary society would look like though but I'm wondering how those supernaturals would survive.

I haven't played this but...

A collectivized People's Blood Bank so the vampire will be able to subsist without parasitically sucking the lifeblood and surplus value from the workers

Werewolves-full tolerance so werewolve shapeshifters will not have to be ashamed of who they are. Also the Warren Zevon song will become a national anthem somewhere, so it'll be cool

Mages..the magickal arts will no longer be the monopoly of an elite few. Open admissions policy for Hogwarts!

Hunters...Everyone will be vegans. No more speciesism. Hunting will be by camera only. If people really crave meat it will be synthesized using once banned stem cell technology.

Demons...As classism and speciesm will be abolished so will deityism (is that a word?)

Wraith..what's a wraith? Is that like a wreath?

Why am I posting at 1:31 AM? Why why why?

Don't the Anarchs already have some leftist overtones to them?

For some reason I feel like we have discussed this before. Hmmm...

I imagine it would be significantly harder with decreased crime. So if some creature were to kill a human it would be a bigger deal. Also, it would be impossible for the vampires to make connections with wealthy/powerful mortals. Or to become rich and powerful themselves. I think the end of social hierarchy for humans would bring a change to the structure of vampire governing a lot too.

The Ventrue would be shit out of luck.
