[QUOTE="Darkness, post: 1915283, member: 13"] Now, I can't help you with Hunter, Changeling and Mummy, as I neither read these chapters nor have the required knowledge about the game lines to really get what's going on even if I did read them. That said... What follows are naturally very brief, dry summaries. The actual stories are quite interesting and offer many more options than mentioned below. So details may vary quite a bit from the below - every playing group can have their very own end of the world. BTW, you'll need to be quite familiar with the game line in question to follow the below; it's by necessity quite full of jargon. [b]Demon[/b] 3 possible endings: [list] [*]Twilight of the Gods: [spoiler]The Earthbound unite against the Fallen. Many battles are fought all over the world.
