World of Darkness: Midnight Circus

World of Darkness

by Chris Howard, Rustin Quaide

Step right up, right this way

For centuries, almost millennia, it has traveled the backroads and byways of the World of Darkness. And as it wandered, the stain on its festival soul thickened. Now it answers to the name of Anastagio's Olde Time Lunar Carnival and Midnight Circus. Its taste for souls has grown ever keener and it's still hungry. The calliope beckons like a lorelei... will you enter?

A Pittance to Enter, A Lifetime to Play

Within the tents and sideshows of the Midnight Circus lurk horrors and visions that stretch and defy the imagination. But the Circus is not managed by mortals, oh no. Fae glamours mix with eldritch magicks; the Kindred quietly stroll along the midway while the Restless Dead flit through the carnival air. Garou or mage, undead or living, there's something to suit everybody's taste in the Midnight Circus. An the ticket's a bargain at twice the price! Just watch where you step and what you look at, because not all the attractions are free...

World of Darkness: Midnight Circus Includes:

* Details on whole new threat to the World of Darkness
* Circus folk, both sympathetic and unredeemable, compatible with all five game lines.
* "The Waste Land," an adventure in which players must confront a bizarre menace while dealing with the siren call of the Midnight Circus.

One of my favorite books. It's the greater mix of every old white wolf world in a little space with many horror and mysteries. Please read it......your mind will blow with the ideas you will come up with.

[Adrian Pedersen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Probably one of the finest sourcebooks written for any roleplaying system. Can be used for anything, from small interludes to full blown campaigns, regardless of the setting.

The plan is to pepper this into my werewolf chronicles. I love the idea of circus as a side story always grinding while my players deal with the main story. My fear is that they get to nosey and lerk to deep into the circus. 😧. After reading through this setting my characters will have a lot to deal with if they choose to investigate to closely.
