Chronicles of Darkness
We live our days completely ignorant of the true terrors lurking around us. Only rarely do our experiences draw back the veil of shadows and reveal the horror in our midst. These glimpses into the supernatural can cause us to retreat into comforting lies — “There are no such things as monsters” — or stir our morbid curiosity. Only a few, however, can overcome their fear and dare to look deeper.
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, featuring a game of ordinary people who find themselves embroiled in the supernatural. More than a decade later, it remains a fan favorite supporting an incredible ten supporting lines. Onyx Path Publishing is delighted to offer dozens of role-playing game, fiction, art, and clothing products for the Chronicles of Darkness, as well as helping to rerelease hundreds of original books through PDF and print-on-demand.

Matthew Dawkins here once again! In the first episode of the Onyx Pathcast we discussed the Contagion Chronicle.

The splats in Contagion are classified as the Sworn and the False, with the Cryptocrats as a proud member of the former. … Read more
In our latest installment of our character creation series, Bill Bodden builds a Nosferatu character for Vampire: The Requiem 2nd Edition. I find vampires to be fascinating creatures.

This section, found at the front of the God-Machine Chronicle Anthology, features the story Voice of the Angel. It dates back all the way to the original World of Darkess Rulebook in 2004.

Greetings to you, Knights of the Realm! Matthew Dawkins here. I’m posting an update to talk a little about the plans for King Arthur’s Britannia, which as an era, falls within the nebulous so-called “Dark Ages” of the British Isles and Europe. We’re choosing to set this era between 400 and 500 C.E., with a … Read more
A preview of Hunter 2e from Monica: Hunter: The Vigil 2nd Edition has been in development for a while and there’s a few reasons for that. The game is designed to stand alone as its own corebook, and this approach is something I have to be conscious of with respect to rules and referenced material. … Read more
