The world of Curseborne is full of intrigue, magic, and things that go bump in the night. It’s just like our world, except the reason that things don’t go your way or that bad things happen is that the people are literally living in a world of curses. Some people — the Accursed — are cursed more than others. They have a particularly large curse that hangs over their heads and makes them more prone to bad things happening to them and around them. The nature of this curse also makes them magical in nature. They have a sense of the thing holding them back, and they can manipulate it in ways that normal people cannot.
Curseborne is the upcoming new urban-horror TTRPG from Onyx Path Publishing. Coming from a veteran team of writers and developers, including some from the original White Wolf Publishing, this fresh take on the urban horror genre is coming to you sooner than you think.

For our final look at the Dead, we veer out of the ordinary (if there is any such thing as an ordinary Dead) and into the stranger version of the Dead’s urge. All Dead have the urge to evoke an emotion in someone, and must indulge regularly or lose themselves. But the urge doesn’t care … Read more

One of the most popular questions from people commenting on our Curseborne blogs and on the Onyx Path Discord is whether the Curseborne core book will contain “global adversaries”, or – to put it another way – grand conspiracies, organized opposition groups, and factions to rail against. In many ways, a character’s family and more … Read more
In our first look at Dead, we learned what makes a Dead, and heard from Sam about their Damnation and what it’s like to be a ghost who haunts their own dead body. The Dead are organized into Families around the emotion they want to invoke in others. The urge simply drives them to create … Read more
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. I’ve certainly seen ghost stories where the focus of the story is on the … Read more
