In this episode, we crack open Possessed: A Player’s Guide—a hauntingly overlooked gem from White Wolf's World of Darkness line. This isn’t your usual vampire politics or werewolf rage-fest. We’re going deeper, darker, and weirder.

What happens when a spirit—Bane, Drone, Wyld-thing, or something much stranger—climbs inside a human being and decides to take the wheel? From the shock troops of the Wyrm to techno-slaves of the Wea...

It’s with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to one of our own—Kevin Parker, affectionately known in our community as "Gotham Madman." An original fan, steadfast supporter, and cherished friend, Kevin brought genuine joy, deep insight, and endless passion to our World of Darkness adventures.

Join me as I reflect on eight memorable years of friendship, laughter, gaming debates, and shared stories. This special episode honors ...

 In this deep dive into Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Bone Gnawers Revised, we explore their spoken word origins as Garou rejects turned hardened warriors, their unique culture and survivalist mindset, and the strange, forgotten spirits they revere—from Rat, the eternal survivor and even the American Dream itself—a broken, wandering ghost of what could have been.

"Welcome Dear Reader.
In your hands, you hold the first of three books
dedicated to Sabbat the Schism, the Lore book.
The idea for this book was born when The
Black Hand: Sabbat sourcebook came out.
Based on observations of the content, and
how it fit into the overaching metaplot across
editions, a simple idea was born: the Schism of
Sabbat.
The Black Hand was clearly the loyalist and

The Crimson Gutter chronicle introduces core concepts during play such as feeding, the sects (Anarchs, Camarilla, and the Church of Caine), and the Masquerade itself while giving the players’ characters a chance to carve a niche for themselves among the Kindred.

This was written to correct a podcast I could not stand by. The original Werewolf 5th edition came from a perception of a clear bias. I wanted "5th edition".  What we got was "Werewolf the Apocalypse". A reimagined story. Reimagined means to reinterpret imaginatively. I did not give it a solid chance. 
2 months since I released that pod, I have been working on a campaign for the reimagined werewolf story and...
