We are enjoying tangent conversation until : "19:18" where the discussion/review starts.

This episode was meant to be fun, relaxed, and conversational rather than a full, detailed content review. We stepped a bit outside our usual format and leaned into opinion, reflection, and discussion. If you’re looking for deep research or an in-depth breakdown of tribal camps and gifts, this episode isn’t focused on...

Note: The Camps are mentioned in this book but written as a past tense. A powerful tribal elder , Truesilverheels, called for an end of camps to unify the tribe. They discuss that and what the camps were. I felt to note this here as Mike and I read that as the canon is stepping away from camps. As ever, your read, your opinion but you have ours and in the podcast we t...

"We had heard stories of Zhyzhak, the Destroyer, the Chosen Child of
the Wyrm, the mightiest of the Black Spiral Dancers. Her black scourge
could tear the flesh off the most powerful of the ahroun dedicated to
Gaia. Her enemies would fall before the very mention of her name. She
walked the Spiral, the Black Labyrinth, and emerged favored by the Wyrm
as no one before or since."

 Everyone’s saying the Masquerade can’t survive smartphones, AI, or facial recognition. But what if that’s just mortal arrogance talking? In this episode, we break down why vampire society is still untouchable—and how Kindred adapt, evolve, and manipulate modern tech better than most humans ever will.

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.

 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.

"..and remember cub or whoever reads this, the garou nation does not think of the weaver--or The Namer or whatever, as a male."

Authors: James Kiley, Ellen Kiley, & Matthew MacFarland

Are they still the radical feminist warriors of the Garou, or have they grown into something even greater?

the Umbra haunts many young Garou-to-be and this world, or

"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
