Wraith Quotes

“Fleshing out a world, creating and playing a host of secondary character, arbitrating rules and crafting scenarios can be difficult tasks. Nonetheless, the chance to make a dream come alive is well worth the trouble. When the other characters carve their niches in the world, you give them the world itself.”
― Mark Rein-Hagen, Wraith: The Oblivion

“Storytelling games are active entertainment, interactive and original, as opposed to passive.”
― Mark Rein-Hagen, Wraith: The Oblivion

“Circles are tightly knit groups of wraiths that have banded together for mutual defense against slavers and Spectres. The cirlce is a fundamental unit of Shadowlands wraith society. In many ways, a wraith’s circle takes the place of family.”
― Mark Rein-Hagen, Wraith: The Oblivion

“Alone, even in a crowd. Dead, but able to touch and sense the living. Real, but intangible.”
― Mark Rein-Hagen, Wraith: The Oblivion

“The afterlife can be an adventure if one can supersede the gloom and sidestep the pitfalls.”
― Mark Rein-Hagen, Wraith: The Oblivion

“Wraiths see death in everything. They do not see things in the physical world as they appear, but as they someday will be. A person about to die might appear cadaverous, with hollow eyes and jaundiced skin; a car destined to crash will appear dented in advance. Much of the world seems decayed, a near collapse. Billboards are tattered, roads are potholed, pain is peeling, metal is rusting, buildings are crumpling. To the Restless, much of the world is already dead.”
― Mark Rein-Hagen, Wraith: The Oblivion
