Mummy: The Curse
Imagine being both dead and deathless at the same time. Imagine being cradled in the arms of death for years, sometimes decades on end, but all the while knowing that you will eventually not only arise again, but possibly awaken to an unfamiliar world. Now imagine that your purpose, your entire existence, is bound within this cycle — that you are chained to it for eternity. You sleep, you wake, your serve your Judge’s will in the lands of the living, and you return to the death-sleep once more. The ancient culture that empowered you is gone, lost to the sands of time… yet you endure. In Mummy: The Curse, you play one of these beings. Those who know they exist, from the cultists who serve them to the dark forces arrayed against them, call them the Deathless. We call them mummies.
Launched in 2013, Mummy: The Curse was the first new game line from Onyx Path, and the first new Chronicles of Darkness game since 2009. With opening fiction by award-winning author Greg Stolze, Mummy presented a step forward in the evolution of the Storytelling system. Onyx Path Publishing is pleased to produce role-playing books, fiction, art, and clothing products for Mummy: The Curse.

Hi, gang, First, I just want to say thanks for the feedback and enthusiasm you’ve shown thus far.

After … Read more
Hi, gang, I must say, it was encouraging and refreshing to see so many requests for a teaser about the themes of Mummy: The Curse. Since theme is so fundamental to Storytelling games (and to storytelling in general), it’s certainly a great place to start. Like other World of Darkness games, the world of Mummy … Read more
Hi, gang, I’d like to get the blog ball rolling by giving you an opportunity to weigh in on the things you’d like to see covered here in the weeks leading up to the game’s release. I can’t promise I’ll be able to divulge the skinny on certain details, of course, but I can promise … Read more
Hi, gang, So, not only is this my first WWblogs post, but it’s my first WordPress… well, anything of any kind, so I hope you’ll indulge me while I figure this interface out. In the meantime, it’s great to be here. For those who don’t know me, my name’s C.A. Suleiman and I’m developing a … Read more
