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.

Ritualistic

Circumstances — and the crunch of redlining — continue. However, Rites won the delayed vote, and I can talk about them. So let’s do that.

The Jaws of the Beast

June 10, 2014 by Rose Bailey

The Vampire office has been a busy place lately. I’ve been developing our Dark Eras chapter, which takes place in Elizabethan London. I’ve also been hammering on the outlines for Secrets of the Covenants, for which I’m now mobilizing the writing team, and the next book after that, which we’ll be announcing soon. Against that backdrop, I’d like to … Read more

Fine, fine, have another teaser

June 10, 2014 by Matthew McFarland

Flowers to Hell should be out by now, but we’re waiting on art. This kind of thing happens, as you know, and it’s not going to delay things long (everything else is done and full-page art isn’t going to screw with pagination), but it’s frustrating, just as much for me as for you. What to do? … Read more

Bones of Ice

June 6, 2014 by Stew

Due to some unforseen circumstances, I’m afraid I can’t offer any Open Development for either Rites or Prey this week. Don’t worry, I’m not going to leave you in the lurch.

Seattle Teaser

June 2, 2014 by Matthew McFarland

OK, first, if you haven’t read the Seattle Appendix in Demon: The Descent, go read that first, because I’m not going to explain splintered timelines and so on. We good? OK, then. I’m developing Splintered City: Seattle right now. (Like, right now. I just switched over from doing that to do this, then I’m going back so … Read more

The Gang’s All Here

May 30, 2014 by Stew

Still redlining. Much of the week got eaten by Apocalypse work, but things keep going. Pack creation won 39–19! Let’s see what the future holds

Page 44 of Flowers of Hell

May 28, 2014 by Matthew McFarland

Over on the forums, folks were asking for teasers. And yeah, it has been a while. So I asked for a number between 1 and 175, and Satchel wisely gave me 44 (the number four being a thing for demons). Now, there’s probably a way to take a single page out of a pdf and … Read more

Moon-Banished

May 23, 2014 by Stew

I’m on the redlining charge now. That’s where I read through all the first drafts and mark up comments and corrections, everything from use of the passive voice to rules that don’t do what they claim to do, before passing back to the writers for second drafts. Of the book, I’m about halfway through — 109,000 words out of 215,000. I can normally redline 10 to 20 thousand words each day, but it’s in-depth work that involves keeping the whole contents of the book in my head and cross-referencing everything. That’s why I’m being even quieter than normal — I’m reading, but I need to focus on the redlines so don’t have time to respond just now. I am listening, though. Also? Sleep-deprived. That one’s nothing new, though.

Anyway: idigam won, 42 to 14. So let’s talk about the Moon-Banished.
