The http://www.worldofdarkness.com site now has art previews for the World of
Darkness Rulebook and Vampire: the Requiem. Click on the above link, then on
the WoD symbol.

It's purdy, is what it is.

2_lores: I adore this. This is what was missing from Vampire in the
Revision, I think.

I like the apparent willingness to be flamboyant in ways that aren't
punk.

Punk is so 20th century.

So, the 'Disciplines' will be called 'Lores'?

The titles of the images... they're called vtr1_lores.jpg and
vtr2_lores.jpg As Lores is not a part of the artist's name, I assume it
relates to the part of the books it illustrates. And as long as this is
not willfull misdirection or something else is called lores, this might
just be the name of the new 1337 super-powerz. Or I might be reading way
too much in this.

Try: Shorthand for LOw RESolution.

Nah, you're probably right. WW likes to reuse names for, y'know,
everything (for the cool links... sometimes), so it's more-than-possible
that the new powers will be called Lores.

Those are full-pagers, and thus most likely they're going to be used for
chapter intro pics. The "low res" hypothesis seems much more likely
than the "White Wolf is going to waste a full page illustrating each
supernatural power with a picture that doesn't clearly show any
supernatural powers in use" hypothesis.

Quite possible, although I'd find it quite strange to call the
thumbnails vtr1_loresthumb.jpg instead of vtr1_thumb.jpg then...

Oh - the joys of groundless speculation ;-)

One wonders what speculations would be drawn from a file labeled
vtr1_hiresthumb.jpg.

Obviously it is the new and updated rules for allies/contacts, which
include provisions for getting them with money rather than experience.

What do you mean "not in use"? I clearly see use of the "Hang around on
rooftops with a dead naked chick", "Hang around on a pile of skulls in a
cemetery", and "Hang around in a crypt". Obviously, the Lores will all
revolve around looking gothy and acting cool. This shows that the entire
focus of the game will be much more fashion-oriented that previous games,
perhaps even with a designer clothing tie-in.

I imagine you'll be seeing ads for this in Hot Topic any day now.
