Matthew McFarland Every Promethean burns with an inner fire so intense, it scorches the land around them. It makes people uncomfortable, even if they can’t figure out why. The Divine Fire, the energy that ultimately allows the alchemy of the Great Work, also sets Prometheans apart from the world they want to join. In 2nd Edition, we’re … Read more
Today I did an interview with The Gentleman Gamer, in which we discussed Beast: The Primordial, Chill, and, of course, Promethean 2nd Edition. Have a look! I know it’s long, so get a snack. Today is also Sunday, and therefore I pose this question to you: Would you like my next open dev post (on Tuesday) to … Read more
Hey, pieced-together protagonists. It’s Tuesday! Normally I’d be tallying the result of your votes, but I didn’t get to put up a choice on Sunday because I was, as it happens, too busy redlining Promethean 2nd Edition. But I did want to talk about a couple of things, just so we’re all on the same … Read more
Look, you want updates while I’m mid-coffee, you take your chances with the post titles. Now, glib titles aside, alchemists are not necessarily evil. Mark Stone proposed, while we were brainstorming Promethean 2nd Edition (then known simply as The Firestorm Chronicle) that we should include mortal alchemists as antagonists. I had to noodle that – I knew … Read more
I’ve sent out, and received back, NDAs from a few groups who want to lend us their help in making Promethean: The Created 2nd Edition awesome. Honestly, I was thrilled by the response. Promethean has always been, to my thinking, the NWoD game that was amazing in concept but didn’t quite get the play it deserved (much like … Read more
So, it was a close vote, but Lineages won out (32 votes for Lineages, 20-some for Refinements, and one inexplicable vote for “alchemical burps”). Promethean 2nd Edition includes seven Lineages: Frankenstein, Galatea, Osiran, Tammuz, Ulgan, Unfleshed, and Extempore. But why, you might ask, is Extempore included out of alphabetical order? Well, because the Extempore aren’t properly … Read more
Aw, yeah. Open development for Promethean: The Created Second Edition. We’re gonna keep this quick and dirty – I’m in the middle of running a Kickstarter at the moment, and I have to split my focus a little. So here’s the drill: Promethean 2nd Ed is in redlines at the moment. I have the first drafts … Read more
Flowers to Hell should be out by now, but we’re waiting on art. This kind of thing happens, as you know, and it’s not going to delay things long (everything else is done and full-page art isn’t going to screw with pagination), but it’s frustrating, just as much for me as for you. What to do? … Read more
OK, first, if you haven’t read the Seattle Appendix in Demon: The Descent, go read that first, because I’m not going to explain splintered timelines and so on. We good? OK, then. I’m developing Splintered City: Seattle right now. (Like, right now. I just switched over from doing that to do this, then I’m going back so … Read more
Over on the forums, folks were asking for teasers. And yeah, it has been a while. So I asked for a number between 1 and 175, and Satchel wisely gave me 44 (the number four being a thing for demons). Now, there’s probably a way to take a single page out of a pdf and … Read more
