Orpheus is noteworthy in that it led the idea for White Wolf of a series with a limited number of supplements. The concept continues on with new World of Darkness games Promethean: The Created, Changeling: The Lost, and Hunter: The Vigil all of which are planned as similar limited releases.
There also was an anthology based on Orpheus named Orpheus: Haunting the Dead (WW11905 / ISBN 1-58846-837-2).
