WoD Tales from the 13th Precinct (World of Darkness (White Wolf Hardcover))

"Ordinary people don't know it, but the world is shrouded in lies. Immerse yourself in them, and you discover that there are lies within lies. There are things in our world, monsters hiding among us, lurking in the shadows, preying upon us. But there also beings who are us and who are not us, people born or "blessed" to move objects with their minds, to read our innermost thoughts, to combine innocuous items to bring about results nothing short of miraculous. Are these people our friends for looking like us, for being like us? Yes. Are they our most dread threat, for looking like us, for being like us? Yes. While some things are monsters without, others are monsters within." —Further excerpt from the notes of the unpublished "Sasquatch," by deceased author David Hicks Mysterious Powers Made Manifest Not every entity with supernatural powers is one of a species of creatures that prowl the night.

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.

 

Abandon Hope All Who Enter

Players join to tell tales of mystery and horror, where theme, mood and plot are more important to a character’s experiences than his weapons or equipment. Inside are rules for character creation, task resolution, combat and any activity your character attempts as he delves into the shadows. Hardcover. Page Count: 224

Last night, right, I dreamed I was drowning in a river of blood. It was slow-moving, like, and full of bones. I just knew it wasn't fresh, neither - it'd been pouring out of a deep gash in the land for millennia. And then I woke up and it was back to the real river of blood, back to this place full of ghosts older'n most countries and spirits what've eaten century after century full of war. Whole country's a boneyard, mate. An' here we are pickin' our way among the bones." - Emmy Longham, Bone Shadow They hunted the moors and forests in the days before Caesar came, and they prowl the towns and cities even now.
