Discover The Secret Histories Of Chronicles of Darkness’ Dark Eras
May 29, 2016 by dracs
Onyx Path are taking a look back at the history of the Chronicles of Darkness as their new supplement Dark Eras sheds light upon the darker parts of the world's murky, monster filled past.
The Chronicles of Darkness have a long and rich history to dive into. After all, most of the monster players face and play as have been around in some form or other for centuries. This supplement lets players into those things that have been completely overlooked by human history and how to go about setting a game in such a setting.
As the cover art suggests, there are plenty of historical settings that would be ripe for use as the backdrop to a Chronicles of Darkness game. The Dark Ages and Victorian periods have previously been popular with Classic World of Darkness players, but personally I think that this wider reaching supplement will open up the game so much more than pieces devoted to a single time.
What historical period do you think will be best for exploring the Dark Eras?
