Curseborne

Our last Lineage to share is the Dead. This Lineage is an interesting one, because it is a concept that many people have expressed interest in, but one that I don’t think I’ve ever seen done quite this way in media.

We’ve talked about what Curseborne is, who the characters are, what kinds of places the world has in it, and what kind of creatures inhabit it. The last pressing question that must be on your minds is “What do the characters do in the game?” We’ve used the words creepypasta, street level, and urban horror … Read more

In last week’s blog entry on the Hungry of Curseborne, we talked about the outcast emotion vampires of the Black Hearts.
