That would be pretty cool too I think. A book like that would be crazy useful for a Werewolf game too I figure. Heck if you compile all the wilderness sections from the various werewolf sourcebooks over the years you could probably get something which loosely resembles that.

Oh yeah, a Cults book would be good. The WoD books talk about cults (and their sister groups like Secret Societies and Conspiracies) but they rarely go into the weeds much about how such groups would actually work in the WoD and what their uses may be.

Which is odd because basically every game line is in effect a Secret Society of some form or another and having to keep themselves hidden is a default plot hook for basically all of them.

Yeah, while I do get what the anachronism in Changeling is going for I do think it’s somewhat disappointing.

My headcanon is that the Dreaming actually is more of a collective unconscious then it’s usually presented but that the Arcadians actively campaign to suppress modern dream images in favor of their idealized chivalric romantic archetypes.

With that said I do think there’s plenty of room for including aliens in Changeling with a bit of elbow grease. One example that I like is including a somewhat obscure (mostly found in the American Southwest) factions of...

Oh, Aliens definitely.

IMO aliens begin to lose their mystique if you explain them too much (but on the other hand, it would make sense for Etherites and Changelings to meet Pleaidians & Reptoids) but a lot of Alien/UFO lore makes great WoD story fodder.

Lost time, mysterious lights, disturbing unknown visitors, abductions, conspiracies, Men in Black, all good stuff to show up in the right kind of chronicle.

So, I think it’s fair to say that a great deal of WoD material is heavily inspired by horror media, even if the old gothic horrors might not tingle spines today like they used too.

Within the systems, setting, and rules of WoD you have tools for bringing about just about any horror concept you want, in most cases it’s as easy as saying that an evil spirit or occultist did something spooky.

So we all know that horror stuff can be created in a bunch of different ways using WoD systems, but what I’m curious about is, what horror concepts do people wish we had more...
