Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The last original gaming line to be set in the Old World of Darkness, and the first White Wolf attempt at a "limited run" game.While Orpheus does tie in loosely with White Wolf's previous effort at the afterlife, Wraith: The Oblivion, it is not treated as a true sequel or continuation. It tackles the world of the dead following the events of the Sixth Great Maelstrom, an ethereal storm that practically obliterated the Shadowlands.Into this turbulence enters the Orpheus Group. Orpheus has learned and perfected the art of projection, allowing specially-trained people who have undergone Near Death Experiences to leave their bodies and enter the spirit realm. Along with allied ghosts, Orpheus' living agents are contracted out to clients; they investigate hauntings, fumigate raging ghosts, and deal with other spooky spirit-related tasks. It sounds simple, but as the story progresses, things get complicated as the enemies get stronger, corruption becomes rampant, allies fall to the darkness and the line between the worlds of the living and dead begins to blur...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Orpheus player characters are defined by two factors: The first is their Lament, or way they interact with the dead. Once they figure out how to do so, characters can then access their Shade, a manifestation of their personalities that dictates the awesome and unearthly abilities, called Horrors, that they can access in death. Horrors sound cool and useful, but do come at a price, as they can raise a character's Spite, putting them closer to spiritual corruption, or can cause them to burn out their willpower or even their ghostly existence. | |

Enemy Within | |
| Orpheus (Tabletop Game) / int_2fb3170e | comment |
Hues get a particularly nasty one if using the Wraith 20th rules. As wraiths operating on Wraith rules, Hues have Shadows... only they don't know it. Their particular Shadow Archetype is called the Quiescent, and it works by shutting the hell up or just speaking at the same volume as all the Hue's other thoughts. Since Hues aren't aware they have an Enemy Within, they're more vulnerable to falling to it, especially if they like to call on their Stains. | |

Blessed with Suck | |
| Orpheus (Tabletop Game) / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
Blessed with Suck: A number of character types, but the Skimmer and Sleeper Laments stand out: As a Skimmer, you can enter and leave your body at will. However, any damage you take as a spirit reflects on your physical body. In addition, they are literally hanging by a thread to their bodies, so if that thread is somehow cut, they have a hell of a time going back. Sleepers don't have to worry about damage to their physical forms, but if they need to return to the world of the living in a hurry, they're going to have to wait a few hours, whether they want to or not. Hues get a particularly nasty one if using the Wraith 20th rules. As wraiths operating on Wraith rules, Hues have Shadows... only they don't know it. Their particular Shadow Archetype is called the Quiescent, and it works by shutting the hell up or just speaking at the same volume as all the Hue's other thoughts.

Cast from Hit Points | |
| Orpheus (Tabletop Game) / int_51567188 | comment |
Cast from Hit Points: Vitality acts as fuel for ghostly Horrors as well as the health meter for Spirits, Hues, and projected Sleepers (Skimmers get actual health levels instead). When Vitality runs out, whether expended on powers or taken away by damage, the ghost ceases to exist. Spite can be used as an emergency net, but this comes with its own set of problems. | |

Obliviously Evil | |
| Orpheus (Tabletop Game) / int_51c70be6 | comment |
Obliviously Evil: Grandmother honestly doesn't understand that things not a part of the Hive Mind she embodies are separate sapient entities, and even devouring rogue elements of the Spectres are her just pruning cancerous growths and mental dysfunctions-and even beyond that, she's also a maternal figure who desires to create, and wishes to eat the world so that she may have enough energy to do so on cosmic levels. One of the good endings of the metaplot involves showing her that other beings exist and her eating them causes pain, at which point she happily forms a truce with existence. | |

Dark Is Not Evil: Orphan-Grinders, Spectres who have been reminded of their lives and renounced Oblivion. They keep the general, mutated appearance of their Oblivion-tainted forms, and retain access to Spectre powers, but they're no better or worse than any other ghost. Weirdly, Grandmother herself, to an extent. See Obliviously Evil. | |

Shades of Gray deals with a mass poisoning via pigment that, if unstopped, allows Spectres to create their first hive. Shadow Games has a large piece of debris from the world of the dead cause a massive catastrophe in both the spirit and living worlds. The Orphan-Grinders begins with a huge invasion of Spectres that represents the first direct attack from the Underworld. End Game deals with a massive breach in the Stormwall, a civil war between the Spectres of the Malfeans versus those of Grandmother, and the innocents who get caught in the way. | |

Hive Mind | |
| Orpheus (Tabletop Game) / int_90965cc7 | comment |
Hive Mind: Carried over from Wraith, all Spectres are part of one, connected to the others with various degrees of strength. This serves as their major strength, since they can coordinate massive attacks with a frightening degree of control, and any Spectre in distress can immediately alert all of the others. It also serves as a weakness down the line when the Neverborn split into factions against Grandmother; because they all share the same mind, they also can't keep secrets from each other regarding their plans of invasion and weaknesses. | |

Hellgate: Banshees can open holes in the Stormwall if they are powerful enough. Naturally occurring holes can also be found in Spectre hives. | |

Ghostly Goals | |
| Orpheus (Tabletop Game) / int_c5835f29 | comment |
Ghostly Goals: Most average ghosts that Orpheus agents help seem to fall into the Type A category, simply wanting to move on after their deaths but not knowing how. There are several notable Type B's, such as Uriah Bishop and his followers, who either kill because they enjoyed it while alive, or because doing so gets them in better with a certain all-consuming Eldritch Abomination. | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive: Terrell & Squibb and NextWorld are two other companies in the post-life game, but with much less savory practices. And it's not like Orpheus had its hands clean either. In one of the few wink-and-nods to the other Old World of Darkness games, the corebook notes that the Orpheus campus backs up to a facility owned by a company named Pentex. | |

Evil Twin: The Spirit lament's disadvantage is a Spectre reflection of themselves that is literally made of their negative emotions. They look like the character, have all of their abilities, know exactly what to do to hurt them the most, and cannot be permanently destroyed. It should say something about how nasty this can be that this is a Spirit's only disadvantage. | |
