Geist: The Sin-Eaters
Your story begins with the moment of your death, and with the Bargain that reversed it. With the cold hand that brought you back to the living world, with the dry whispers that still haunt you, with the presence that has nestled in your very soul. Every night is the carnivale, because every night you walk with ghosts. Death is a door. You are the one with the key.
Originally released in 2009, Geist: The Sin-Eaters was a sleeper hit for the Chronicles of Darkness, finally bringing “life” to the realm of ghosts and death. The upcoming second edition offers a revised and updated rules system and an expanded setting.
