@magee101 I don't want to be that guy but I'm super trying to avoid work right now... The entire (new) World of Darkness gameline is under the CofD umbrella. They retroactively changed the name. See here where it says, "After an extensive overhaul of the concepts of the World of Darkness, the Chronicles of Darkness (sometimes “CofD”) was developed in 2004 with the release of the World of Darkness Rulebook..."

You can also look here and see how CofD Second Edition is mentioned, as a separate thing from CofD First Edition. And as it, too, says, "In December of that year, the "new" World of Darkness saw its name changed to "Chronicles of Darkness" to more fully distinguish it from the "classic" World of Darkness."

Lastly, the Wikipedia that states, "As White Wolf Publishing attempted to keep the original World of Darkness separate, the new World of Darkness was rebranded as the Chronicles of Darkness..."

So, when we refer to "Chronicles of Darkness", it's not nWoD 2E. It's nWoD, by Onyx Path marketing lingo. We'd technically need to refer to CofD 1E vs CofD 2E to differentiate between the 2004 book and the 2015 core rulebook.

And just to be super clear, all the books that are Chronicles of Darkness are here.

It was a move done by a publishing company after the fact to help dismiss confusion that had already been in the community for a decade. as @Derp says, might be technically correct, but for us here in the hobby, CofD is 2nd Edition NWoD and is represented that way on these forums.

ETA: Basically, just because someone has retroactively rebranded something to make things "simplier" does not mean that the vast majority of their customers agree or follow their new branding system ten years after the fact.
