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 Weaver, from nature-fused Gorgons to the enigmatic Kami, this book explores the twisted, tragic, and terrifying reality of being possessed in a world already teetering on the edge.

Join us as we discuss:

• The different spirit types that can take control of a human host
• The unique flavors of each chapter: Fomori, Drones, Gorgons, Kami, and more
• What makes possession in the World of Darkness more than just a monster-of-the-week trope
• How to use the Possessed in your games—as tragic PCs, terrifying NPCs, or wildcard allies
  
   Possession isn’t always a choice. But pressing play? That’s on you. :)

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 Kevin’s legacy, celebrates the impact he made, and serves as a heartfelt farewell from all of us whose lives he touched.

Kevin, thank you for everything. You’ll always roll with us in spirit.

 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.

FYi: Rust is a 1st edition totem house brew i left in my notes. Made it to the podcast and I left it. it does not exist in canon. Was a favorite of players. Memory is a beautiful thing.

"..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?

"For the werewolf, their childhood is full of sleep
paralysis and brief encounters with the world beyond. From
nightmares to daydreams to out of body experiences,
the Umbra haunts many young Garou-to-be and this world, or
worlds, just beyond our own is the subject of this book."

"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
shovelhead fraction of the Sword of Caine, the
question was: where are the rest of our anti-
Gehenna army."
--Author

"If you are planning to use a bat as a weapon, then put a long stocking on the bat.
That way if someone tried to grab your bat, you can pull the bat out of their grip
and continue beating them up with YOUR baseball bat. But on the side note, why
do you even WANT to use a baseball bat? Do you not have claws? Do your not have
teeth? Do you not have your disciplines? You're a vampire. Act like one!"
— JAVIER HERR ERA, BISHOP OF BELGRA DE

woman, she was a priestess of Isis herself, and no living creature would harm her. But every good gesture in her life she made was reduced to less than nothing when she accepted Sutekh's Embrace...*
