#it doesn’t really have to do anything with Wraith or WoD but still worth reading about their progress

For anyone wondering what they mean been “Wraith 20” or what exactly this thread is about here’s a quick explanation.

Wraith: The Oblivion is a Tabletop Roleplaying game by White Wolf set in their World of Darkness series where players play as ghosts trapped between the mortal world and underworld trying to complete any unfinished business and maneuver through the twisted kingdoms of underworld.

Since SomethingAwful is locked behind a paywall, this is mostly speculation but the thread could be talking about the World of Darkness 20th Anniversary edition games that were announced around then. Vampire: The Masquerade was the first to get a 20th Anniversary edition in 2011, twenty years after the first edition in 1991. Wraith released in 1994 so a 20th Anniversary edition would’ve released in 2014. Even the lead developer promised a late 2014 release.

But Wraith is infamously known to have rocky development cycles to the point people considered it to be a (ironically) “cursed game” including the authors of the game. So Etherwind here is trolling and making fun of the game ever getting released in 2014. Which he was right about. His decade late response furthers his trolling as he jokes about it getting delayed to 2016, when in reality it didn’t release until late 2018.
