Odd Bits & End Pieces
Kind of a scattered blog this week as a lot of projects keep needing a bit of nudge here and a piece of attention there. Like, I was working on getting the page for the V20: Dark Ages Kickstarter put together (the illustration by Mark Kelly, above, is one of the featured images on the page) and…

A Well-Armed Society…
…Is a Polite Society. Some of our World of Darkness games focus hard on individual character groups. You’re not really expected to worry about Prometheans beyond the players’ Throng, and Demons are too paranoid for the majority to be in an Agency. As the most Human supernatural beings, though, mages have a human response to…

Now available at DriveThruRPG: Splintered City: Seattle and The Demon Seed Collection, both for Demon: The Descent! Splintered City: Seattle Seattle is a fractured city, split between history and modernity. The Unchained can stumble through rifts in time and space and wind up decades in the past.

Lore of the Clans: Thank You
Yesterday I sent off the last redlines to the writers for Lore of the Clans, thus closing the open development process for the book. Because of the staggered nature of open development, I’ve already gotten a few drafts back, but I’m expecting to get the majority of them in October. From there, I’ll revise, kick…

The Return From Nashville (By Night)
The three of us representing Onyx Path, Eddy, Matt McElroy, and myself, all got in yesterday night, so we had a chance to give the rest of the Onyx team our impressions at the meeting today. The biggest thing for us at any of the “By Night” conventions is being able to talk with a group…

New Order
We’ve talked about Paths and Legacies already, so we’re past due to talk about the Orders. If Path and Legacy are broad and narrow definitions of magical style, how a mage works her magic, then it’s the job of the last axis of character definition to provide the why, when, and where. From a game…

I Saved Against Fear This Weekend
At lunch, there were two things I wanted to talk with Eddy about that occurred this weekend; one event inside the other. The larger encompassing one was a convention I attended on Saturday in Lancaster, PA. I drove over there and after dodging a couple of barn raisings, an angry dude in an ill-fitting black suit…

I Rebel: The Brujah
The last Clan for open development in Lore of the Clans, and we’re ending on an interesting conundrum. Today we present the Brujah, written by Alan Alexander. As usual, Alan has written over wordcount with a lot of interesting material, so I’ll have a lot hard choices on what to cut. But there’s one particularly interesting component this…
