"...But all was not fair on the Emerald Isle. We were no
strangers to the Wyrm's taint, but here we encountered
a sea-borne race beyond anything we had yet met."

"Vampire: The Masquerade is a horror game and
this is a book about how to make your chronicle into
the disquieting, terror-infused horror experience you
want it to be. "

NOTE: Worms, Germany does exist and I clearly was unaware of that until AFTER I mentioned that Abraham Worms sounded like a cool warlock name instead of it meaning Abraham of Worms. :)

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 talk as if they were written out.

"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 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?
