Matthew McFarland Seeing as how Geist is on sale this week, I thought this would be an opportune time to announce the era (as in, Dark Eras) that we chose for Geist: The Sin-Eaters: God’s Own Country frames the experience of playing Sin-Eaters in New Zealand of the 1950s, a time of post-war prosperity and growth, concealing a maelstrom of … Read more
Hi! It’s Matt! Taking a little break from redlining Seattle and running my Kickstarter to talk about a couple of Demon books! So, I’m working on five Demon books at the moment. Three of them are stretch goals for the Kickstarter, so I’m putting together an update that will get posted over there. The other two, though, have been … Read more
The all-call (you know, this thing) is going well. We’ve got a few dozen submissions so far, and I’m looking forward to reading through them snagging some new folks for whatever the heck my next project turns out to be. We have had a few questions that come up often enough to merit this post, … Read more
Disclosure Form (public) Sounds ominous, doesn’t it? We’re looking for some new writers. That’s the long and short of it. We have some really awesome people working on our books right now, but the problem is that some of the same people are working on all our books, and that’s not a good situation long term. … Read more
Folks on the Demon thread over at RPG.Net are discussing the Demon House Exploit. Since it’s Halloween, I figured I’d post the text of that Exploit, so you can see how you can be a haunted house in Demon: The Descent. Demon House The God-Machine occasionally gives angels non-human, even inanimate, Covers. They might become weapons, objects or … Read more
So, if you’ve following along, you know there’s a Hunter book in development. I’m writing – well, I have written – a chapter, and it’s about using Prometheans as antagonists. They got a little treatment in the Hunter: The Vigil core, but this goes into a bit more depth and offers up some new Endowments and suchlike (I … Read more
I’ve been popping over to the White Wolf forums of late, venturing out of my usual game-related online stomping grounds. Which has been nice, because I’ve been able to read – and occasionally comment on – Demon-related things. One of the things that folks have asked about is Aether. What is it, really? Apparently, the Quickstart didn’t … Read more
And then, last night, the exciting conclusion to our Demon: The Descent game: How An Angel Dies. The characters, you’ll recall, were in quite a pickle. Will was facing off against the demon-wolf, Marchosias, with Edgar and Luke nearby. Simon had sucker-punched Jamie, and Amy had caught her as she plummeted earthward. And Saskia was stuck in her own … Read more
It turns out that, in the credits to the recently-released God-Machine Chronicle, we were one author shy: Wood Ingham, who wrote the creepy-as-hell fiction bits interspersed throughout the book (the series of letters between William Dear, Dear Mary, Jon, and Stephen), got left out. This one’s entirely my fault, and I have no idea how it … Read more
As you probably know, it’s Demon: The Descent. So what now? Well, Rich gives updates on the general state of things every Monday over on the aptly named Monday Meeting Blog, but he has a lot of irons in the fire, so maybe you’d appreciate a little more direct information about Demon? Sure thing. Let’s talk a … Read more
