Onyx Path Publishing has released a milestone Wraith: The Oblivion 20th Anniversary Edition which is completely revamped and revised. Long considered to be the most horrifying and mature entry in the World of Darkness, Wraith places the player characters in the roles of ghosts who are open to journeying through the land of the living and the dead. You can score the 571 page book through DriveThruRPG in hardcover starting at $59.99 or in PDF for $29.99.
From Onyx Path:
All the stories they told you about what it would be like after you died? They were wrong.
There is no Heaven and there is no Hell. There’s only the Underworld, with the ravening maw of Oblivion at the bottom and the impossible dream of Transcendence at the top. And in between, all the Restless Dead.
Are you ready to join them?
Wraith: The Oblivion is the Storytelling game of passion and horror. Take the role of a ghost whose unfinished business won’t let them rest.
- Protect the things you love in the lands of the living, or travel into the deeper Underworld to become a citizen – or an enemy – of the ancient Empire of the Dead.
- Learn the forbidden Arcanoi, ghostly powers that can terrorize the living or wreak havoc on the dead.
- Fight the pull of Oblivion, the endless void that seeks to drag everything down into it, and come face to face with its corrupt Spectre servants in an endless Labyrinth filled with nightmares.
- Walk the streets of the eternal city of Stygia, where the crumbled monuments of antiquity rise one after another, a thousand destroyed cities blending into one.
- Set sail on the never-ending storm of the Tempest with a wordless Ferryman at your side, or seek the legendary Far Shores, where it is said that every wraith can find peace and contentment.
So don’t go into the light. You’ve got more interesting things to do in the Underworld instead.
Twenty years ago, White Wolf published what many have regarded as their darkest, bleakest, and most mature gaming achievement. Largely disconnected from the rest of the World of Darkness, yet tied to it by fetters of unresolved issues from their lives, the characters also had to face the compelling whispers of their own dark sides, their Shadows.
This 20th Anniversary Edition of Wraith: the Oblivion returns to that darkly compelling world and both compiles and completes the concepts of the previous two editions.
Led by legendary Wraith: the Oblivion developer Rich “Deadguy” Dansky, our writing team consists of Wraith veterans like Bruce Baugh, Lucien Soulban, Jackie Cassada, Nicky Rea, and Clayton Oliver, as well as familiar names such as Charles Andrew Bates, Matthew Dawkins, and Lillian Cohen-Moore, and they one and all dedicated themselves to making Wraith: the Oblivion Twentieth Anniversary Edition the most playable edition yet – while not losing the incredible depth of setting and emotion that Wraith is known for.
