So random (not actually random) thought: Worm/BtP fusion. Sometime in at least the 70's people started developing the power to partially or entirely turn into monsters and wander through the collective subconciousness started to appear. This made a lot of people very mad, and was widely regarded as a dick move. The Beasts go around being Beastly, fighting with the Heroes that they attract, causing society in most of the world to collapse into either warlordism or rampant nationalism. Basically, the canon setting from Worm, only instead of triggering people become Beasts (with my homebrew alterations in order to make them actually interesting).
Some Beasts form up along racial, gang, friendship lines, or whatever, and some group up to stop other beasts from destroying society while sating their hungers. In Brockton Bay there are four main factions: The E88, who are into Nordic myths and neo-Nazism, the ABB, who are formed out of the Asian diaspora groups who have become much more unified after being stuck in Brockton Bay, and the Merchants, who just want to party. Additionally, the Alliance is a group of Beasts and Heroes who try to police the rest, to some success.
Amid this Taylor Hebert experiences a devouring, becoming a Namtaru Tyrant, and attempts to help, in the way that only a traumatized teenage monster can.
So, having world governments know about Kindred, The Camarilla, etc wouldn't be out of place for higher ranking officials?
Like say, the Allies during WW2 accepting help from The Camarilla?
In oWoD, the masquerade is (somehow) holding strong.
IIRC In WoD the various supernatural factions stayed as far from WW2 as possible, and in CoD the Camarilla fell alongside Rome.
Not the Mages! Mages fought on both sides in WoD.
) definitely has a lot of influence based on the gameline and theme.
