Hi, everyone! After a (long) hiatus, allow me to cordially welcome you back to the blog. Back when I kicked this thing off, the initial intent was just to run it full-throttle through the Mummy Deluxe Edition Kickstarter, but it appears some people have been missing my updates and teasers (dawww), so I’m back to…

Hi, gang! Yes, it’s been a few weeks since my last blog update, but uh, we’ve been a little busy over here.  🙂 The first and most important low-down is that the Mummy: The Curse Kickstarter has launched (link below). We’ll be looking to shout it from the rooftops through the holidays, since we only…

Hey, gang. So, that was a crazy bunch of weeks. But they happened, and now this is happening: I’ve just finished proofing the core set for Mummy: The Curse, ladies and gents, and I’m pleased to relate that it looks really good. And I mean good even for a perfectionist like me. Between the talented…

Hi, gang. Last week, we revealed one of the most important design elements of the new game — the guild — with a sneak peak at the Su-Menent guild, called the Shepherds of the Chamber. We’re coming up on the big day now, with GenCon just a week away, so now is the time to…

Hi, gang. Last week, we took five to dish a little on our design philosophy behind the Arisen. This week, we’re back to spoiling the hell out of our new game–in this case, cults. From a WoD design perspective, I wanted cults to fill the role filled in other games by elements like bloodlines (Vampire)…

Hi, gang. Last week, we presented one of the foundational design elements of Mummy — the decree — along with a look at a sample decree (the decree of spirit). This week, we offer a little behind-the-scenes action as Malcolm rejoins me to dish on our thought process behind the Arisen. A note on one…

Hi, gang.  Last week, we began our discussion of one of the most fundamental aspects of a mummy’s existence — his fivefold soul. Today, we continue that discussion with a look at the most important game element derived from the fivefold soul: the decree. During the Rite of Return, its subject truly died. He endured…

Hi, gang.  Last week, we wrapped up our preview of how magic works for mummies in Mummy: The Curse (accompanied by a bonus teaser in Portuguese as a thank-you to our Brazilian fans). This week, we dive into an even more fundamental aspect of the game and its characters: The nature and structure of the…
