Dawning of an Endless Night (Secret World)

Something strange is going down on Solomon Island, and you have been sent in to figure out what.

All right, so a few things to set expectations. First, this is largely an opportunity for me to playtest of the Chronicles of Darkness rules. I used to play nWoD way back in the day (on these very forums, in fact!), and have been itching to return lately. Come to find out, there's been a new version and I'm curious how it compares. I'm also going to take the opportunity to try out a few ideas I've been wanting to test drive, including "blending" nWoD/CoD templates. Lastly, in case you're not familiar with it, this game is going to be something of an adaptation of the early parts of the MMO The Secret World. I've just always wanted to run a game in the setting, and given the things I'm wanting to experiment with, it's a perfect opportunity. Familiarity with that game is in no way a requirement to join, and honestly unfamiliarity is slightly preferred.😉

The Pitch

Last week, you were a normal human living a normal life, completely unaware of the true dangers living in the shadows of this world. Now, you have become a Bee, a functionally immortal being blessed by Gaia to protect the world from those very dangers. Recruited by a shadowy organization with mysterious motives, you have been thrust into the thick of things, sent to a small island off the coast of Maine that has recently become blanketed by a thick fog that has apparently cut it off from the rest of the world. At once knowing far more than you ever imagined about the truth of this world, and yet feeling like you still don't know nearly enough, you stumble into the zombie-infested town of Kingsmouth seeking answers for both your new superiors and yourself.
