Geist: The Sin-Eaters

It's a story that begins with death -- with your death.

Why did the Reaper reach out for you before your time? Why was it that you fell between the cracks?

Do you remember the flare of the gun or the sharpness of the knife? Do you remember the gnawing emptiness or the choking thickness of disease? Did you fall across the Threshold alone in the wild, or in the heart of the city?

The story begins there -- with the moment of death, and with the Bargain that reversed it. With the cold hand that brought you back to the living world, with the dry whispers that still haunt you, with the presence that has nestled in your soul.

You've returned to a world where the living cannot see the shades that surround them. You drink rum to the dead, and you eat their remnants and legacies, taking their memories within you. Every night is the carnivale, because every night you walk with ghosts.

Death is a door.

You are the one with the key.

Geist: The Sin-Eaters is the sixth game in the World of Darkness.

Geist 1.1 has been fully re-edited to include the latest errata and then developed again to insure that those editing changes fully conform with the themes and intentions of the original design team. This is not a new edition, but an overhaul designed to insure that this version of Geist is everything you need to play the game.

Note on Print Editions: The Black & White print editions of this book are not full-bleed. Because of printing requirements there is a small white border around the edge of the pages.

In the Standard Color print editions some elements in the opening fiction have been reproduced to the best of our ability for print on demand formats, but some of the more robust design elements may not be as clear as the original printing in this version of the book.
