File Last Updated: March 31, 2015
Inspired by the success of the Dark Eras Kickstarter, Onyx Path Publishing has decided to overhaul every classic and new World of Darkness game in their catalog to transport the entire line back to the nineteenth century, during the height of Gothic literature’s popularity, to add Historical AngstTM!
This title was added to our catalog on April 01, 2015.
To highlight the new, gothtacular path they’ll be following, the company has filed a trademark for the phrase Historical AngstTM and created Gothic Icons to help shed some insight on where the line is headed.
Recent History
Publisher Info
Gothic Icons includes six characters that represent the gothiest Gothic icons, and have been drawn from several sources found in Gothic literature. The gothtacular characters included in Gothic Icons employ the rules update to the World of Darkness rulebook using The God-Machine Chronicle. They are presented in chronological order of their Historical AngstTM appearance in the 1800s-ish timeframe, and include:
Gothic Icons
• Captain Robert Walton: Walton is a failed poet who believed his only saving grace was to launch an expedition to the North Pole that, unfortunately, ends with his boat getting stuck in the ice. From Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Walton represents the epitome of the suffering goth. • Countess Anna Fedotovna: The Countess is not only an arrogant yet absent-minded Russian royal who boasts friends like the Comte de Saint Germaine, but is also a gamer with “the” trick to winning card hands. From The Queen of Spades by Aleksandr S. Pushkin, Fedotovna is “the” gamer goth.
Onyx Path Publishing
• Princess Hermonthis: A four-thousand year old Egyptian teenaged mummy named Princess Hermonthis is beside herself, because she lost her foot. From The Mummy’s Foot, written by Théophile Gautier, the Princess highlights the turbulent nature of the angsty goth.

• The Black Cat: No collection of Gothic characters would be complete without a terrifying Gothic creature, and this poor, distraught, one-eyed, pitiful black cat represents the emo goth. From The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe.

• Baron Vordenburg: After taking up the charge of his vampire-hunting ancestor, Baron Vordenburg arrives in the nick of time to save the day! From Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, the Baron is the iconic wannabe goth, for he’s actually never hunted or encountered a vampire before. • Thomas Carnacki: Last but not least, Thomas Carnacki is a ghost finder for England’s elite. He dresses up in Victorian era clothing, pens unusual occult tomes no one else has ever heard of, and tinkers with strange objects like his electrified pentagram. From Carnacki the Ghost-Finder, the occult investigator dresses so well, he’s labeled a Victorian goth.

Megan R. [Featured Reviewer] - January 27th, 2016 Originally released as an April Fool's Day piece (something Onyx Path Publishing seems really fond of) in 2015, these characters draw on classic 'Victorian Gothic' literature and are beautifully constructed based on characters from various well-known [...]
Ron M. - July 13th, 2015 Interesting Characters. I think its a good idea to have some ready made characters for any game. [...]
P. B. - April 2nd, 2015 Last year's 'Overly Specific Condition Cards' prank was cute, to be sure, but THIS one is just brilliant on many levels! The characters are actually well crafted (but yeah, silly). The narratives are fun to read (again, silly). The presentation is love [...]
Alessandro V. - April 1st, 2015 A very well written (and funny) book about six pre-generated eccentrics Goth character inspired by famous novels and story of the 19th century (Frankestein, the Black Cat, Carmilla...). I find the Character itself very cool and neat and I want to play [...]
