History in the Making
As the nation takes the time to reflect during Black History Month, we wanted to find the visionaries in our area who are looking ahead. We found three individuals who are striving to find new and innovative methods of shaping the future of our community.

The near-death experience is
The near-death experience is where the point of attachment begins. A character in this game has a near-death experience, or dies temporarily, then returns to life. Along the ca1way, they have become attached to a very particular variation of ghost that is not quite the same thing as what we see in the World of Darkness core. Your character (called a “Sin-Eater”) is attached to, or possesses, or is possessed by a geist —an actual ghostly spirit that is more than just a reflection of a dead person, but also has picked up some measure of symbolic personality that makes it more of an archetype as well. The ghost of a long-dead gangster has absorbed so much resonance of guns and violence that when it became a geist, it became a geist of guns and violence, part ghost, part spirit. Or perhaps it was a spirit that absorbed/devoured/assimilated a ghost. We’ll present both theories, and let the fans decide what’s most interesting for them, though I think we’ll lean slightly toward the former. Spirits have had much more play in the WoD so far, and now it’s the restless dead’s turn to shine.
The mood for the game will reflect the Day of the Dead (the holiday, not George Romero) — creepy, morbid reminders of mortality fused with the reminder of the sweetness of what it’s like to be living. Memento mori. Sugar skulls, drinking rum and smoking cigars at the crossroads. Wakes that close out bars. Death-defying speed cults, from the muscle cars and tricked-out choppers of the ‘50s to the darker side of modern street racing. The intense emotion felt by a geist that surrounds its point of death, married with the question of what a character can do with this second life.
