World of Darkness: Urban Legends

New World of Darkness

by Will Hindmarch, Rick Chillot, Russell Bailey

Whispers carry the stories through the generations. So unreal that people no longer believe. "Legend." They do not realize that legends can be more real than real.

Truths From the Tales

We've all heard the stories. Alligators live in the sewers. Kidney thieves prowl the cities. Chant "Bloody Mary," and she appears. These are urban legends. In the World of Darkness, they are real; in fact, they are more than real. The truth behind each legend is more terrifying, strange, sinister, or diabolical than we imagine.

Urban Legends made all-to-real within the World of Darkness? Seriously, the idea sells itself and seeing the WoD bittersweet twists and cynicism make for some excellent fodder if the storyteller wants to take a break from creating a chronicle from scratch.

An awesome supplement for the World of Darkness game system, this book explores one of the things I like to use in my own stories - urban legends. The only complaint with this book is that they could have fit a lot more "crunch" into this book - there's a bit of fluff, and it is a slim book to boot. But it is very well written and useful.
