David A Hill Jr People wanted setting. So here’s our biggest share yet. Chapter One: A Place in Time. This one comes courtesy Filamena Young. This is just off the hook, it’s not been through editing yet, so don’t bother noting typos and things. This is all about content and world building. From a design perspective, we figure most … Read more
Last week, I showed you Necromancy’s Paths. This week, I wanted to share Thaumaturgy’s Paths, likewise. It’s provided by our own Geoffrey McVey. This skews pretty close to V20, with some new flavor, and some material from Dark Ages: Vampire. When developing this, we’re finding a lot of dials in where to set any given … Read more
As I ramp up development and turn words into final drafts, I plan to share more and more content. So here’s a good way to start: Necromancy. This is just the paths. It’s a pretty big chunk of wordcount, though. I felt it deserved a lot of attention, so did Thaumaturgy. Because, you know, Cappadocians, … Read more
Hi everybody! Right now, we’re closing in on a lot of drafts of V20 Dark Ages. Many are in editing. Some are getting some last-stage polish. In the mean time, I wanted to share one of my favorite V20 Dark Ages bloodline writeups: The Lamiae. We have about a dozen bloodlines, and a few transitional … Read more
Is this thing on? Hi everyone. David A Hill Jr here. It’s been a while since I’ve chatted V20 Dark Ages with all of you. Since we last spoke, I moved to the other side of the planet. It turns out, that’s actually pretty difficult to do. I’ve also had a lot of stuff going … Read more
Hi everyone! We’re busy, busy, busy. Making words. Redlining words. Making cocktails. Drinking cocktails. Having holidays. Making more words. Working on other books. But I wanted to share with you some of our current batch of wordstuff. I’ve been posting classic stuff. Disciplines. Clan spreads. All that jazz. Today, I wanted to share with you … Read more
Hi everyone! I’m just wrapping up the final main section of Hunter: Mortal Remains (previously called Monstrous Basterds). In celebration, I figured I’d show you all some of the absolutely terrifying stuff we’re bringing to the table. There’s a whole chapter on Dread Powers and awful monster shit. But no. In this case, we’re talking … Read more
As we develop V20 Dark Ages, I get a lot of this question. “Can we see the stuff you guys talk about between drafts, the notes you cut, and all that?” Usually, we don’t include these notes because they’re silly, they become redundant, or they make us look like slightly less than consummate professionals. My … Read more
It’s hard to be Nosferatu. We get that. Who wouldn’t? For V20 Dark Ages, we wanted to give a new, but oddly familiar twist to the clan. Instead of harping on the curse, we’re giving a seed as to where the curse comes from. Where is that? The strange secret in Nosferatu blood, a secret … Read more
Spoiler: Clan Salubri dies off. Sorry about that. So it really sucks to play them, right? Because that puts the Salubri in the role of metaplot vehicles with a foregone future. That’s kind of contrary to the point of a roleplaying game, isn’t it? Roleplaying games are about choices and consequences. As a player, you … Read more
