Chicago is! If you remember the original Chicago By Night cover art, this is the same scene – this time illustrated by Adrian Majkrzak – but the point of view is reversed. A nice call-back! Of course, all this Chicago referencing is because we are currently running a Kickstarter campaign for our new Chicago By … Read more

Chicago! By Night! What an evocative title that was in ’91. We had seen nothing like it for any of our games. The web of vampire NPCs and their sheer variety could have been overwhelming, but instead it was fascinating. We wanted to keep reading and to learn as much as we could about them, … Read more

Actually, it’s our shadow over Chicago, and not whatever that is in the art above, as we continue to work with White Wolf to insure that V5 Chicago By Night‘s text is accurate to their vision and as complete as we can make it prior to launching its Kickstarter. We want that text finished so … Read more

Yes, we are back from a multi-convention weekend! That’s Eddy Webb and I, center to right, with a bunch of crazy maniacs (ie: game designers) at our Game Design Panel at Save Against Fear in Harrisburg. As always, it was a fantastic panel with questions ranging from when to alter an existing design or to … Read more

Yes, I’d say the creation of the 2nd Edition of Scion has taken the most thought (and Thoth) of any of our projects to date. From the years spent iterating the Storypath System that powers Scion, to the years and years we and the Scion community dissected and recombined the first edition rules and setting, … Read more

And if I do want to write it down, I can do it in one of our many fine blank journals with covers specific to our game lines on our RedBubble site! Yay! Actually, not really my thing, but a bunch of our community seem to really like them, so it’s cool that folks now … Read more

Fall is in the air, and it is time for the aroma of pumpkin spice to waft around us wherever we go. And yet, somewhere beneath and behind that ubiquitous scent, is there another crueler tang? Perhaps a tinge of pumpkin guts, that suggestion of orange lives given up for our autumnal habit? Naaaaaaah. But … Read more

Last week, I had a great interview with the guys from the Everybody Loves Pudding podcast, and since their questions started with the early days with White Wolf and being a Magic card artist and led right through the CCP years to V5 and its several controversies, I thought this week that I’d go over … Read more

Yes, we stumbled back to a fully attended Monday Meeting today – the first one where we were all there in quite some time with GenCon and vacations and all. A good and informational meeting nevertheless. They’re not all that way, though. We have 50ish of them a year, and sometimes the energy level all … Read more

A couple of meanings to the “Scrapping” part of the blog title this week. First of all, not the “scraping dead” which is probably a kind of zombie. Pretty sure I’ve seen some scraped zombies on TV…but that’s not the type I’m talking about. Scrapping as in “scrappy”, though, is one of the ways I … Read more
