richt Last week, I looked at the historical precedent for why Gen Con is always a big deal for us at Onyx Path Publishing. This week, let’s look at this year and the different things we’re doing so that both the folks attending, and our larger community who aren’t going, can have fun with us next … Read more
Today was a good four hours of pretty much mostly Gen Con prep. It’s like this now, with two weeks until a bunch of us get on a plane to Indianapolis and Gen Con 2015. Not a lot of it is interesting nor fun for you our loyal Monday Meeting Notes blog reader. So, here are … Read more
Shark Week! So here’s our Beast: the Primordial sig character and her horror from the depths. With the Beast Kickstarter having ended very nicely last week, but having had some controversy during its run, we performed a bit of a post-mortem on the campaign today. Our usual Onyx Path crew was joined by developer Black … Read more
Gotta be honest here, we kind of had a low energy Monday meeting today. It was quick, to the point, and only had one extended rant (not mine this time). Usually, only a couple of the gang are on the low energy ebb, while the rest are moving right along all uptempo. Not today. But … Read more
No, don’t worry, we aren’t changing Beast: the Primordial into a game of Noir detectives.

There’s a whole lot of things that go bump in the night, or on our schedules, or in our brains. And end up in our Monday meetings. This week I’m using a weird occurrence that happened over the weekend for a theme. At one point the top six threads at RPG.net were about our projects. … Read more
_ As is usual right before a Kickstarter campaign, most of our talk is making sure all the parts are working together, and our KS team (me, Rollickin’ Rose, Mirthful Mike, and Impish Ian) as well as the developer(s) are all set to cover our respective responsibilities. Some of those are dictated by the way … Read more
Nope, here in the USA it is the Memorial Day holiday, and while I normally force all of the Onyx Path crew to work on Monday holidays because I’m cruel like that, we have enough of our gang with commitments for this one that we’re postponing our meetings until later this week. But that … Read more
For the first time ever, Fast Eddy Webb and I had our Monday Lunch Meeting at my house. So that was different; although it didn’t look very different than this photo from one of our convention panels except we both had sushi in front of us today. With Eddy hanging out here at “Shadow Oaks” … Read more
