In 1993, a game came along that
changed gaming. It was big and epic and
confusing as hell. It dared folks to think out-
side the box – to not simply throw fireballs
but to really think about how and why we do
the things we do. Mage challenged people to make
a difference in their world. And now, more than
ever, that challenge stands.

Mage 20th Anniversary Quick Start
This introduction to Mage20 includes a summary of the setting and basic
rules, and features descriptions, stats, and story-hooks for playing an unlikely
pack of mages: the Bridge Troll Cabal, a “family” of gutter mystics whose life in
the underside of Seattle contrasts with the vibrant face of that city. For the mo-
ment, they exist outside the vast intrigues of the Ascension War. Yet, depending

“There’s a storm that’s always screaming under the skin of the world. Sometimes, it comes
looking for you.”
Two decades after Wraith: The Oblivion’s debut, the storm is still raging. Obliv-
ion still hungers to devour all of existence. And for every soul still bound to existence
by the Fetters of their former life, there is still a chance to make things right – or to be
devoured by the darkness.
This is the world of Wraith, where dead souls who still have unfinished business in
the lands of the living find themselves dwelling in the Shadowlands of the world they
once knew, driven to protect that which mattered to them in life while facing the
challenges of their new existence. The empire of the dead, from its island citadel
in the heart of an eternal tempest, demands obedience from every soul. Ma-
levolent ghosts tainted by the power of Oblivion crawl through holes in reality
to try to drag others down with them. And in the back of every wraith’s head is
their Shadow, the seductive voice that wants only to lead them to destruction.

It is 1242 A.D. The Long Night is over, and the tumults of the
future beckon. Vampires walk the night, secure in hegemony over
hegemony, playing at lordship across the known world. A clan
has lost their founder, his Blood fueling the rise of a clan
of usurpers. Strange tidings come from the Silk Road,
and vampires not known to Caine walk the night. On
a thousand bloodstained lips, the same whisper rests:
Gehenna is coming.

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.
World of Darkness:
The God-Machine Chronicle
What is the God-Machine? That question doesn’t have a single, easy
answer, but that doesn’t stop people from asking. The World of Darkness
is layer upon layer of mystery, but what is the mechanism that keeps it all
moving? Is there a design in play? And what happens to those who think
to use the Machine for their own ends? Available Now.
World of Darkness:
The God-Machine Chronicle Anthology
The God-Machine Chronicle Anthology contains new fiction by
Justin Achilli, Eddy Webb, Stew Wilson, David A Hill Jr, and many

way for the God-Machine Chronicle itself. Available Now.

World of Darkness: Dark Eras
For 2014 we are not presenting a new game line. Instead each of the previous nine game lines is expand-
ed with an evocative and appropriate historical period. Each Dark Era is being created by a developer and
writer who are fully excited by the potential of that Era . For example, Ethan Skemp takes his award-winning
Changeling the Lost to France during the Era of powdered wigs, treachery, and flashing blades. For the first
time we will use Kickstarter to construct this book using direct feedback from the fans during the process and
increase some Eras’ word-count or add entirely new Eras as the community pushes for their favorites.

What would you do if today was the last day of your life? It’s the kind of question you never answer honestly until
it’s too late. Until the last day of your life was yesterday, until you wake up in a stranger’s bedroom with a hunger
like fire. One of the graced, the cursed, the beautiful, the damned. One of us. You belong to the night, now, to the
streetlights and the concrete and the howl of sirens. To the glitter and the gore. To a world of want and need and kill.
Welcome to the first night of your life. What are you going to do?
These primal vampires have preyed on human and Kindred alike since our earli-
est nights. Their latest schemes and atrocities are chronicled here with new stories by
Eddy Webb, Joshua Alan Doetsch, Greg Stolze, and more. Available Now.

This is the tale of a forgotten age before the oceans were
bent, when the world was flat and floated atop a sea of chaos.
This is the tale of a decadent empire raised up on the bones of
the fallen Golden Age, whose splendor it faintly echoed but
could not match. This is a tale of primal frontiers, of the restless
dead, of jeweled cities ruled openly by spirits in defiance of
Heaven’s law. This is a tale of glorious heroes blessed by the
gods, and of their passions and the wars they waged in the
final era of legends.
