From the shock troops of the Wyrm to techno-slaves of the Weaver, from nature-fused Gorgons to the enigmatic Kami, this book explores the twisted, tragic, and terrifying reality of being possessed in a world already teetering on the edge.Join us as we discuss:The different spirit types that can take control of a human hostThe unique flavors of each chapter: Fomori, Drones, Gorgons, Kami, and moreWhat makes possession in the World of Darkness more than just a monster-of-the-week tropeHow to use the Possessed in your games—as tragic PCs, terrifying NPCs, or wildcard allies Possession isn’t always a choice. But pressing play? That’s on you. :)Authors: Chris Campbell, Matthew McFarland and Colin SuleimanSupport the showhttps://linktr.ee/25YearsOfVtM
