    2016 Year in Review: David Hill

    Most fun project: This is a really hard one, but Changeling: The Lost, Second Edition. I worked on a lot of things I’m very proud of, but Changeling gave me the chance to dig into what I really feel is the core of Chronicles of Darkness. By that, I mean using horror, fantasy, exploration, adventure,…

  • Hurt Locker: Droning On And On

    Hurt Locker: Droning On And On

    So, Hurt Locker’s out. Great stuff, right? One request I got was more on drones. There’s a Style Merit for drone piloting, but we didn’t detail any drones. There were a few reasons for that. One was space. Another was that the drone style just sort of came out of a writer’s idea pile, but…

    Changeling: The Lost, The Hedge

    Hey everyone! Working on wrapping Changeling: The Lost Second Edition. A while ago, I posted the bulk of the rules, and I’ve been integrating a ton of playtest notes and tweaking this, that, or the other thing. We’re in the home stretch on the text. One thing I’ve been asked more than a few times…

    Changeling the Lost: Tinkering and Toying

    Hi everyone. Some people were all, “Where’s Changeling at? I want to play with it.” To which I respond, “Um, okay?” So I just want to start this out by saying here’s the core Changeling template rules. Pretty cool, right? A lot of this is familiar. Some of it was already shared via forums and…

  • Hurt Locker: Equipment Appendix

    Hurt Locker: Equipment Appendix

    Howdy. Thought I’d share a draft while Hurt Locker’s on its way toward editing. This is the appendix for the book featuring weapons, armor, and equipment. This is more or less what the appendix will look like, with some minor changes here and there, edits, and what-have-you. It features a slightly different take on the way…

  • Hurt Locker: The Lost Boys

    Hurt Locker: The Lost Boys

    So, yesterday I posted psychic vampires. I posted a few templates a while ago, and last week I posted two more. I forgot, there was one other. Fortunately, someone reminded me. You see, when I initially posted the Hurt Locker outline, way back when, I mentioned wanting to see a sort of “super soldier” group.…

  • Hurt Locker: Psychic Vampires

    Hurt Locker: Psychic Vampires

    Hey everybody. I’m wrapping up work on Hurt Locker, just about to send it to editing (probably later this week, or this weekend). Last week, I shared two pretty specific template character types, one based on strange luck, and one based on radical pacifism. This week, I’m sharing a much more general template, one for…

  • Hurt Locker: More Templates

    Hurt Locker: More Templates

    Hey all, It’s been a while. I’ve been away. Been busy. Been dealing with things. All that. Anyway, I’m just about to wrap on Hurt Locker, and Changeling: The Lost – Second Edition. I’m basically in the phase of Hurt Locker where I’m knitting drafts together, filling in blanks, applying some notes from my play testers, and…

    Changeling the Lost Second Edition – Kiths

    Hey all. It’s been a bit. I wanted to share some second drafts with you. This is like… 75% of the kiths that’ll be featured in the core rulebook. Here’s the document. With these and the Seemings, you have the foundation for a Changeling the Lost Second Edition character. I’ll be working on Contracts soon,…

  • Changeling the Lost, Second Edition Inspirations

    Changeling the Lost, Second Edition Inspirations

    I’m knee-deep in redlines for Changeling: The Lost. I’m close to the point where I’ll start sharing things with the intent to playtest, and we even have one playtest group organising in the forums right now. But, in the mean time, I figured I’d share the Inspirations section. This might give some insight to my…
