About From Dusk Till Jawn Wiki

FDTJ is set in Onyx Path Publishing's Chronicles of Darkness: a world like our own, sharing the same culture, history and geography, yet the shadows are deeper, nights darker and fog is thicker, and there's no COVID. It is a world where behind a carefully crafted facade of reality as we know it monsters lurk and predators stalk the long shadows. The game is set in Philadelphia in the present day and is a text-based game run on Discord. This game is intended for adults and should be considered R-Rated. Not all portions of the game will be safe to view from work enviroments.

Getting started with the game

Useful PC Lists

Work Safe Content

While the game is for adults, we do ask that content added to the wiki be marked appropriately. If pictures/logs or such are not considered work safe, then clearly mark the pages as such with 'NSFW' in the link/name so others do not accidentally stumble on things that trigger work filters. We appreciate everyone's help and consideration in this to keep the site accessible to all.

Plot Incentives

Do you want to run plots but don't have the time, energy, or confidence to be Staff? Consider PrPs! Player Run Plots are plots run by players for players. This allows plot to continue even when staff isn't running anything. PrP Runners receive 2 beats when they run plot scenes. Participants in PrP scenes receive 1 beat in addition to any beats earned from Aspirations, Conditions, etc.
