[edit] Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- They Told You There Was No Coming Back
- "Vincent screamed when he saw us -- me -- again. After killing me, he'd expected me to stay dead. A reasonable assumption, don't you think? But my Shadow and I, well, we're not reasonable people." -- Ryan Shearin, Risen
- They Lied
- Here's what you've been waiting for: the way back to the Skinlands. Here's what you'll need to get there. Here's the terrible price that, no matter what, you'll have to pay.
- The Risen is a guide to the Walking Dead, those who dare to take their bodies back from the embrace of the coffin. Included are the powers, limitations and history of the Risen, as well as the terrible secret that each revenant carries with her. Gaze out from the selplchre, and remember: Passion will always be stronger than the grave.
