Promethean: The Created
Promethean: The Created is a game about stolen lives. Prometheans are soulless corpses animated by a mysterious, alchemical force — the Divine Fire — stolen from the gods. They wander the dark places of the world, seeking what their creators denied them: humanity. They are pilgrims. The Created. They wander the world, sometimes alone, sometimes in the blessed company of their own kind, driven by memories of events and facts they never knew, all in the service of one Great Work… to be human.
Promethean: The Created was first published in 2006, introducing a supernatural heretofore unseen by fans of the Chronicles of Darkness. Promethean has now been freshly reanimated from the remains of the old as a second edition including the Firestorm Chronicle, which tells new tales and builds on lessons learned in the past decade, including new Transmutations, a clearer guide to the Pilgrimage, and a new antagonist in the form of greedy alchemists.

I had to noodle that – I knew … Read more
I’ve sent out, and received back, NDAs from a few groups who want to lend us their help in making Promethean: The Created 2nd Edition awesome. Honestly, I was thrilled by the response. Promethean has always been, to my thinking, the NWoD game that was amazing in concept but didn’t quite get the play it deserved (much like … Read more
So, it was a close vote, but Lineages won out (32 votes for Lineages, 20-some for Refinements, and one inexplicable vote for “alchemical burps”). Promethean 2nd Edition includes seven Lineages: Frankenstein, Galatea, Osiran, Tammuz, Ulgan, Unfleshed, and Extempore. But why, you might ask, is Extempore included out of alphabetical order? Well, because the Extempore aren’t properly … Read more
Aw, yeah. Open development for Promethean: The Created Second Edition. We’re gonna keep this quick and dirty – I’m in the middle of running a Kickstarter at the moment, and I have to split my focus a little. So here’s the drill: Promethean 2nd Ed is in redlines at the moment. I have the first drafts … Read more
