The Choir Invisible
Update: Clarifications and fixes were made on 1/19. — Busy week for Vampire again. I’ve been working with the writers on the last of the Disciplines, and getting together reprinted material for the anthology. We posted a second draft of Protean earlier today.

The Mummy has Arisen, and the Hunters Hunt, Too.
Eddy and I had just the night before played in his “Better Off Dying” V20 chronicle over Google, so there was less jocularity than usual since we’d had a pretty good time at the game. We hadn’t played in months since “Season One” climaxed with a war against the Sabbat in Cleveland, and it was…

Hanging it all Out
Last night we had a three-hour Hangout with myself and the Book of the Wyrm consulting developers. We talked about a whole lot of things, from mechanics of corruption to the Wyrm getting in to payday lending and the return of Günter Häagen•Däaz, the Man With Too Many Umlauts.

Diehard GameFAN names Blood Sorcery sourcebook of the year!
Diehard GameFAN has named Blood Sorcery (link) their 2012 sourcebook of the year (link). We’re in good company, alongside Shadows of Esteren and Cthulhu By Gaslight, among others.

The fourth dot power, Unnatural Change power gives vampires traits that go beyond the merely bestial, and into the truly abominable. Click here to check it out. — The final…

First Monday Lunch in 2013, Now With Added Fiber.
Welcome to the New Year, friends! Most of what Eddy and I discussed was housing in Atlanta (a lot of friends are shuffling housing and jobs), and the WW 2014 Schedule. We’ve got some pretty great submissions from the Developers (which is how a year’s schedule is put together: interested parties pitch their ideas and…
