White Wolf Publishing was an American roleplaying game and book publisher. The company was founded in 1991 as a merger between Lion Rampant〔(A Brief History of Game #10: Lion Rampant: 1987-1990 ), RPGnet (Retrieved 14 June 2007)〕 and ''White Wolf Magazine'', and was initially led by Mark Rein·Hagen of the former and Steve Wieck and Stewart Wieck of the latter. Since White Wolf Publishing, Inc. merged with CCP Games in 2006,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Home - CCP Games )〕 White Wolf Publishing has been an imprint of CCP hf, but has ceased in-house production of any material, instead licensing their properties to other publishers. It was announced in October 2015 that White Wolf had been acquired from CCP by Paradox Interactive.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.paradoxplaza.com/news/Paradox-White-Wolf-Publishing/ )〕The name "White Wolf" originates from Michael Moorcock's works. ==Overview== White Wolf published a line of several different but overlapping games set in the "World of Darkness", a "modern gothic" world that, while seemingly similar to the real world, is home to supernatural terrors, ancient conspiracies, and several approaching apocalypses. The company also published the high fantasy ''Exalted'' RPG, the modern mythic ''Scion'', and d20 system material under their Sword & Sorcery imprint, including such titles as the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' gothic horror campaign setting ''Ravenloft'', and Monte Cook's ''Arcana Unearthed'' series. In order to complement the ''World of Darkness'' game line, a LARP system dubbed ''Mind's Eye Theatre'' has been published. White Wolf also released several series of novels based on the Old World of Darkness, all of which are currently out of print (although many are coming back into availability via print-on-demand). White Wolf also ventured in the collectible card game market with ''Arcadia'', ''Rage'', and ''Vampire: The Eternal Struggle'' (formerly ''Jyhad''). ''V:TES'', perhaps the most successful card game, was originally published by Wizards of the Coast in 1994, but was abandoned just two years later after a revamped base set, name change and three expansions were published. White Wolf acquired the rights to the game in 2000, even though no new material had been produced for the game in over four years. Since then, several ''V:TES'' expansions have been released, and the game was the only official source of material for the Old World of Darkness, until 2011 when the 20th Anniversary Edition of ''Vampire: The Masquerade'' was published and the Onyx Path was announced.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=White Wolf Release Schedule 2011-2012 )〕 Video games such as ''Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption'' and ''Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines'' are based on White Wolf's role-playing game ''Vampire: The Masquerade''. There are also several ''Hunter: The Reckoning'' video games. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「White Wolf Publishing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
