Storytelling Adventure System Guide

White Wolf's Storytelling Adventure System (SAS for short) is a series of stories in PDF format for our various Storytelling game lines. Think of a Storytelling Adventure System product (SAS) as a story kit, as if you’d bought a piece of modern furniture and brought it home in a big flat box. The basic parts that make up most SAS stories are simple: Storyteller characters, scenes a...   [click here for more]

Bad Night at Blackmoon Farm (Hunter: The Vigil)

Night has fallen. Clouds wreathe the moon, then engulf it. The shapes of the farm buildings up on the rounded knoll look like dark cutouts pasted against a matte blue midnight sky. It’s peaceful. Pastoral. Nothing could be wrong here, could it?

Then: a gunshot. A scream. A child’s cry. Hissing shadows gather with blinking yellow eyes, an...   [click here for more]

Blood Red + Ash Gray (Vampire: The Requiem)

This story about consequences, murder, lies, and the ethics of guilt pits players against the tangled motives of vengeful vampires. Does it compound the sin of a crime to benefit from it? Is it a new sin to deny a victim her vengeance, when you’re guilty of the crime she’s avenging? Will you hold onto your Humanity by accepting punishment or use your own...   [click here for more]

City in the Sand (Mind's Eye Theatre)

Dangerous secrets were hidden in the sand ninety years ago. It’s a blink in time for the vampires of Los Angeles. But discovery is not always a good thing.

The set of Cecil DeMille’s The Ten Commandments has been found in Guadalupe, CA, and a group of movie archeologists have started to excavate the site as an important find in film pr...   [click here for more]

Collection of Horrors: Caveat Emptor

Paul desperately roamed the alleys looking for a vendor with what he needed. Booth after booth blurred by, each one having something similar but not the same. He twisted a handkerchief over and over again in his hands, his fingers working it and tying it into knots as his eyes darted over each stall.

As he wandered down one alleyway a shrill scream filled the air, sending a sh...   [click here for more]

Collection of Horrors: Getting Her Back

Everyone’s read the reports, seen her picture on the evening news, beautiful blue eyes and pageant-queen smile. Emily Gillen is dead. The police finally tracked down the woman responsible for the brutal torture and murder of several local children; she died resisting arrest.

But that’s not the end of the story. A hatred as virulent as Emily’s doesn’t en...   [click here for more]

Collection of Horrors: Host of the Clutter

Mallory couldn’t recall how she’d ended up in the middle of the woods, but she was becoming used to finding herself in strange locations with no memory of how she’d arrived. She was a little more annoyed than usual about it, though. She had been in the shelter, looking for the tape. It was important. If they found it, they would learn about the Clutter, and then they would ...   [click here for more]

Collection of Horrors: Meeting the Frostbite Girl

The first thing he notices when he takes her hand is just how cold she is. Not merely chilly, but unnaturally cold, like a statue cut from Arctic ice. He shudders noticeably. She offers a sad half-smile.

“I’m sorry about that, but I want you to know what you’re dealing with, here, so that there are no misunderstandings.” He nods once in reply. She slowl...   [click here for more]

Collection of Horrors: Mother to Monsters

A monster in the womb. A frantic 911 call. A dead body. But that’s just the start. What begins as a call from a damsel in distress leads to violence, horror and perhaps a monstrous conspiracy about to bear gruesome fruit.

The Collection of Horrors is an anthology of Storyteller tools inspired by the Horror Recognition Guide that you can either use in conjunc...   [click here for more]

Collection of Horrors: No Escape

We’d spent weeks trailing him, certain he held the key to recovering the lost operative. We had it all planned out – the ambush, the capture and the interrogation. It wouldn’t be pretty, but time was short and we had to get Emma back. Little did we know that when we finally sprung our trap, we would be the ones held captive – trapped in a situation none of us could ha...   [click here for more]

Collection of Horrors: Serpent's Tooth

A hunter cell seeking crucial information finds a broker of secrets who can give them what they need in return for an act of symbolic destruction. But will the hunters realize they have stumbled into an ancient conflict between spirits? And will their new contact use them as pawns in his game?

Criminal Intent (Vampire: The Requiem)

How far will you go to preserve the Masquerade?

The Masquerade is one of the most important and disputed Traditions among the laws of the Kindred. Upholding the secrecy of undead society is paramount to the safety and security of all vampires – it is why it is the First Tradition in every Prince’s court. But not all Kindred consider the costs of such preservation.

Dem Bones (Geist: The Sin-Eaters)

The Bound, gifted as they are with a second chance at life, do not die easily. A Sin-Eater’s attendant geist can hold the most dreadful injuries at bay, and can even manipulate the laws of death so that another dies in the Sin-Eater’s place. But what happens when that blessing isn’t what the mortal side wants? What happens to poor Regan Anderson, driven mad by her bond to a...   [click here for more]

Lines of Power (Mage: The Awakening)

A mage’s Sanctum is his home, and the Hallow is the soul of it. When bereft of these two things, the mage is not only robbed of her sanctuary but also the Mana that replenishes her magic. Wars have been waged among mages for centuries over the right to call a Hallow their own, and bitter enemies have been forged from the fires of ...   [click here for more]

Parlor Games (Werewolf: The Forsaken)

"If you ain't just a little scared when you enter a casino, you are either very rich or you haven't studied the games enough." — Terrence "VP Pappy" Murphy

There are things in this world that come from somewhere else. Hungry things. They scrabble in the dark places, reaching out to draw in prey. Sometimes it's human prey. Sometimes it's the People.

One of thos...   [click here for more]

Scenes of Frenzy (Vampire: The Requiem)

Spearfinger (Hunter: The Vigil)

People are turning up dead with their organs missing, but there’s no evidence of scars or surgery. The deaths are clearly unusual and perhaps even supernatural, and when one victim dies right in front of the hunters, their involvement becomes crucial. While the hunters may at first be...   [click here for more]

The Abedju Cipher (Mage: The Awakening)

A millennia-long search for an ancient Atlantean artifact, the Abedju Cipher, is about to come to an end. Pentacle mages to the Seers of the Throne have sought out the Cipher over the centuries, using both overt and covert means to track down it or its previous owners. Tensions have risen over it more often than ...   [click here for more]

The House Always Wins (Geist: The Sin-Eaters)

Angelo looks around the joint, seeing only marks. Back-room poker is always a mug’s game. Every card dealt brings the unlucky ones closer to losing everything—the shirt on their backs, next month’s rent and more. Some schmucks end up with a gun in their hand, doing some of Lucky Joe’s less pleasant work to pay off their debt.

The hand’s over. One ...   [click here for more]

The Resurrectionists (Vampire: The Requiem)

The Resurrection Man — to use a byname of the period — was not to be deterred by any of the sanctities of customary piety. It was part of his trade to despise and desecrate the scrolls and trumpets of old tombs, the paths worn by the feet of worshippers and mourners, and the offerings and the inscriptions of bereaved affection. To rustic neighbourhoods, where love is more than co...   [click here for more]

To the Flame

Something disturbs the slumber of a quiet, rural town. Sixty years ago, this monster scarred the town in a terrible inferno. Now nearly rebuilt, the sightings have returned. The monster, known locally as Moth, was considered nothing more than a boogeyman to scare children. But those older folk who lived through his first visit know better. They know that Mot...   [click here for more]

Wolfsheim (Scion)

The citizens of Wolfsheim are literally caught in the middle of a supernatural turf war between the fae monsters known as goblins and the Titan-serving werewolves of one Werner Krieger. For untold years the citizens were forced by the goblins to participate in a yearly ritual, a macabre version of trick or treat called Kindernacht. When Werner Krieger came...   [click here for more]
