I’ve always wanted to play Wraith; it is the White Wolf game that still calls to me – part ghost story, part dark baroque fantasy world and with a dark shadow made up of your character’s distilled evil bits lurking on your shoulder, played by someone else at the table.

I wanted to do a game where everyone’s character was killed in a plane wreck or mass car crash and their wraiths find themselves in the Deadlands as the crew of a Stygian galleon on the Dead Seas made up of bits of their cars, luggage or whatever.

Plane wreck, car pile-up or is it too cliche?

I’ve got the Wraith: the Oblivion hard-cover on my shelf. Some day…
