# Wraith: the Oblivion 20th Anniversary Edition tags: #game/rpg/wraith ![[Wraith - the Oblivion 20th Anniversary Edition (cover).jpg|600]] **Wraith: The Oblivion 20th Anniversary Edition** is the Onyx Path compendium that finally gives the bleakest game in the **[[World of Darkness]]** — and the one that's been the red-headed stepchild of the line — the single-book treatment it always deserved. Led by original developer Rich "Deadguy" Dansky, it compiles and completes the concepts of the first two editions into one 573-page tome: the guilds, the spectres, the Risen, the other realms of the dead, and even a nod to the Orpheus spin-off. If you're going to own one **[[Wraith the Oblivion|Wraith: The Oblivion]]** book, this is it. ## Setting It's the same Underworld as always — the Shadowlands, the Tempest, Stygia, the Hierarchy, the Guilds — but the 20th Anniversary edition pulls it all together in one place, laying out the full history of the Underworld, the Deathlords, and the wars of the dead coherently. It's the definitive "everything you need" version of the game's dark, bureaucratic afterlife, complete with the material that used to live scattered across a dozen sourcebooks. ## Mechanics The core is unchanged — the Storyteller System d10 dice pool, Corpus, Pathos, Angst, Passions, Fetters, and the Arcanoi — but the anniversary edition rounds it out with material drawn from across the line's supplements, making it the most complete and playable edition yet. The Shadow-roleplay twist, where another player runs your dark side, remains the heart of the game. ## References - [Wraith: The Oblivion 20th Anniversary Edition - DriveThruRPG](https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/233842/Wraith-The-Oblivion-20th-Anniversary-Edition) - [Wraith: The Oblivion 20th Anniversary Edition Review - Geek Native](https://www.geeknative.com/64187/wraith-oblivion-20th-anniversary-edition-review/)
