Summary[]

So Many Characters

Great Mind's Eye Theatre games draw huge crowds, and entertaining stories can go on for a long time indeed. Such epic stories can give birth to a lifetime of memories, and you don't want those memories to be ones of mismanagement, incompatibility and headache. But what's a Storyteller to do? Managing either a long-running chronicle or a chronicle that's absolutely packed with interesting characters is a daunting task even for an experienced Storyteller. But it's not impossible.

So Much Time

Dark Epics for Mind's Eye Theatre gives you everything you need to sustain a chronicle for a long time, or to manage a huge group of players effectively and efficiently. These new streamlined rules for mass-combat, power crossover and tabletop conversion (to name a few subjects) have been developed and tested by the Camarilla, White Wolf's official fan club.
