Pathogen: The Infected

A storytelling game of biological horror

Pathogen: The Infected is a fan-made role-playing game taking place in the World of Darkness, created by Adam J. Thaxton. When the development of the game was put on indefinite hiatus by the author, it was picked up by fans of the first draft on the TvTropes forum.

You can find a copy of the original version here. The discussion thread on the TvTropes forums is located here.
