Chronicles of Darkness

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.

Sophia’s Choice [Mage: The Awakening]

by

Wizards We’ve explored a lot of the setting and the character creation options of the game, so now it’s time to make a U-Turn and dig into the Mage Template itself. First up on this tour is Wisdom. Pride’s counter and Gnosis’ counterpart, Wisdom is both an in-world concept (older factions in the Orders call … Read more

The Freaks Come Out At Night: Centimani [Promethean: The Created]

by

The Pilgrimage is a hard road. Supposedly, Prometheans have a reward to look forward to – the promise of Humanity. But sometimes, a Promethean looks at humanity with derision, or horror, or just plain old apathy, and turns his back on the Great Work. If that continues, the Promethean can be said to follow the … Read more

Sunday Poll and Rambling about NPCs

by

I’m running Promethean tomorrow night, which means I should do a little homework on the game today, if I have time after redlining Chill (I’m seriously spending a solid 12 weeks redlining; first Promethean, then Chill, then Beast). When I was younger, I did character sheets for everybody. I really liked statting up NPCs. I still do, actually; it’s a fun … Read more

First Principles: Basic Refinements [Promethean: The Created]

by

Prometheans come to life with very little understanding of themselves or the world around them. Residual memories from their constituent bodies and Azothic memory help, of course; they give the Created a grounding in language, movement, and the skills and knowledge they need to embark on their Pilgrimage. But taking as read that a young Promethean … Read more

It’s Complicated [Promethean: The Created]

by

The votes are – you folks want the complex stuff first. You got it. Well, first, some context. A Refinement is a practical philosophy, a pattern of behavior and ethos that informs a Promethean’s approach to the Pilgrimage. But one Refinement isn’t going to lead you to the New Dawn – that would be a gross … Read more
