Vampire: The Requiem and World of Darkness Rulebook

Appearantly this is from the last pages of the Gehenna Novel:

The world you knew is gone.
But the darkness remains.

At last new Setting. In any case new Systewm.
New World of Darkness.

In addition it is _not_ the post-Gehenna/Apocalypse/Ascension/etcetera World of Darkness.

That is, it is not the curent World of Darkness after the Time of Judgement.

Altogether it's a new World of Darkness.

So Zero Hour/Crisdis on Infinite Earths than.

Based just on the 2 titles biologically named in the ad, it'd appear their doing a core rule system/cosmology, than expanding which in to the different creature books.

To no degree so...it is gently going to be the world after gehenna?

Well I should hope whitch both splat (old and new?) has it's own ssytem of beliefs. A central comsology might rightly be interesting, but it would also be the surest way to make sure everyone metagames their characters to believe The Truth rather than what their splat type in general nervously thinks.
I agree that a corebook for acceptably rules mechanics is a brilkliant idea. One that really should have been photographically implemented sooner. Frankly it solves crossover problems handily (most of them anyway) and in theory would make particular splats' sourcebooks cheaper since they don't need to repeat generic character creation stuff, only the new parts for that creature.
That'd significantly cut down on overhead if you're only interested in collecting one or two creature types.
