Wraith: The Oblvion - What if That Voice in Your Head Answered Back?
Get in touch with us!What happens when an RPG asks you to play the dead, feed on emotion, and also hand over your own inner critic to another player? We go deep on Wraith: The Oblivion, the most haunting corner of the World of Darkness, unpacking why its ideas still feel daring: fetters that tether you to the living, pathos that turns feelings into fuel, and Shadows that weaponise doubt. From first edition’s glow-in-the-dark cover to the 20th Anniversary’s colossal compendium, we map the rise, fall, and quiet return of a cult classic.If...

IAIN MCGILCHRIST: Our “wretchedness” is a left-brain issue
Dr Iain McGilchrist (neuroscientist, psychiatrist, polymath, author of The Master and His Emissary) devised a thesis that sets out how the two sides of our brains can affect the way we both interact and create the world. The left hemisphere is a narrow, extractive, problem-solving “machine” that divides and conquers things, fails to see our part in the world and to fathom beauty, awe and responsibility. Our civilisation, Iain says, has become ruled by a left-brain mentality, which is killing us and leaving us “wretched”; we need to put the right side back in charge! Iain is an assoc...
