Chronicles of Darkness: Hurt Locker
Chronicles of Darkness: Hurt Locker is a sourcebook for Chronicles of Darkness.
Summary
- From the Onyx Path Catalog:
- "Of course it hurts. Everything hurts. If you're alive, you hurt. Don't think of yourself as bleeding out; think of yourself as more alive."
- Horror is all about the stakes. And most commonly, pain, injury, and death are those stakes. Hurt Locker is all about the stuff that hurts. We talk why it hurts, how it hurts, and how to deliver pain at your table beyond just rolling the dice and marking health boxes.
- Hurt people hurt people. We're talking ramifications of violence and how pain perpetuates pain down the line. We're talking about how even after wounds heal, scars always remind you.
- Hurt Locker features:
- Treatment of violence in the Chronicles of Darkness. Lasting trauma, scene framing, and other tools for making your stories hurt.
- Many new player options, including Merits, supernatural knacks, and even new character types like psychic vampires and sleeper cell soldiers.
- Expanded equipment and equipment rules.
