Black Dog Game Factory

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Black Dog Game Factory was a brand (so-called imprint ) of the White Wolf publishing house . The mark was used to publish some expansion books of the old World of Darkness pen and paper RPG series. Books published on Black Dog have adult content, but not exclusively those that are sexually related. Black Dog books appeared because they dealt extensively with violence (such as the Hunter Book: Wayward ), dealt with religious subjects (such as Cainite Heresy ), or dealt with critical subjects (such as the Holocaust theme in Charnel Houses of Europe: The Shoah ).
