Overly Specific Condition Cards

Selected Option:

This was Onyx Path Publishing's April Fool's joke for 2014. However, so many people liked it that we're keeping it available for future customers. Enjoy!

Conditions were introduced in the God Machine Chronicle as an exciting new part of the nWoD game system that encourage player agency in the storytelling. Many examples were included in that book, and in both Demon: The Descent and Blood and Smoke: The Strix Chronicle for Vampire: The Requiem.

Condition Cards have also been produced, in order to make it even easier for players and Storytellers to manage the Conditions in play at their table. Some amazing stories and themes are possible utilizing Conditions and they can provide deeply immersive and compelling moments of significance for your Chronicle.

At least, most of them can...

Included here are Conditions that are so particular, so specific to a very limited situation, so singular in their use, that in good conscience we just couldn't contaminate our Very Important game design with them. But, depending on your Chronicle, they also might be just what the moment requires.

Written by David Hill, the Conditions guy himself, and haphazardly and vaguely playtested, these Overly Specific Condition Cards include:

  • A Missing Tire and No Gas, and a Monster Chasing You
  • Broke a Mirror On Friday the 13th
  • Cornered by Things That Are Smaller Than You

And the ever-popular:

  • Don’t Have Any Clues but the Plot Needs to Move Forward

Other currently available Condition Card sets include:

An odd one. Obviously this is a joke product and it's mildly amusing, so well done there. Worth a look, more for the pointers on creating your own conditions than for the humour. What I find odd about this is mostly how inconsistent the cards [...]

While this is an april fools joke, it still shows creative examples of how conditions can be used above and beyond the typical. Also, sometimes you are in a car, running out of fuel, risking breakdown, and being chased by monsters. [...]

Originally released as a spoof product to 'celebrate' April Fool's Day 2014, this collection of 14 Condition cards proved to be popular enough to leave available. It's free to download the PDF so easy to check out, and even if you decide that you want [...]

Too specific. I might be able to use one or two of these things, but it is going to seem like a joke. How am I suppose to keep the dark, brooding atmosphere when the game can't even take itself seriously? [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
