Chronicles of Darkness
We live our days completely ignorant of the true terrors lurking around us. Only rarely do our experiences draw back the veil of shadows and reveal the horror in our midst. These glimpses into the supernatural can cause us to retreat into comforting lies — “There are no such things as monsters” — or stir our morbid curiosity. Only a few, however, can overcome their fear and dare to look deeper.
After an extensive overhaul of the concepts of the World of Darkness, the Chronicles of Darkness (sometimes “CofD”) was developed in 2004 with the release of the World of Darkness Rulebook, featuring a game of ordinary people who find themselves embroiled in the supernatural. More than a decade later, it remains a fan favorite supporting an incredible ten supporting lines. Onyx Path Publishing is delighted to offer dozens of role-playing game, fiction, art, and clothing products for the Chronicles of Darkness, as well as helping to rerelease hundreds of original books through PDF and print-on-demand.

You woke up… different. Someone changed you: on a slab, an operating table, an altar. By luck or by fate, you escaped. Hunted by your creators, they hold all the cards, and it seems they might recapture you. Except, what they don’t understand is they’ve stoked the fires of vengeance; what they did wasn’t right. … Read more

The Pure took no part in Urfarah’s murder. They blame Luna as the architect of his demise, and the Urdaga as slaves who carried out her bidding. Today the Pure see the Forsaken as mewling pups suckling at the Moon’s teat, hoping for the favor of a mad, piece-of-shit god. The Pure reject Luna. Werewolves … Read more
