richt At last January’s MidWinter Convention, I was amazed at how quickly the Pugmire playtesters gravitated to the small bits of setting info available for the playtest. Specifically, the first tenet of the Code of Man: “By a good dog.” During the course of several hours, the playtesters uttered, snarled, shouted, and whispered that phrase as … Read more
First off and fair warning: Fast Eddy Webb will be filling in for me next week here at the MMN blog with what will, no doubt, be a funnier, pithier, and muuuuch better written post than I usually can fumble through. I will be at Disney World forcing people to be photographed wearing World of … Read more
One of the things we talked about today during the Monday Meetings was something brought up in discussing last week’s MMN blog and also in Eddy’s AMA last week, IIRC. That is, how do folks get their work noticed and published and become part of these RPG writing teams? Basically, how do you go from … Read more
This week, due to popular demand from both our community and the Onyx Path gang in our meeting today, I’m going to explain a little bit about how we go from a pitched idea for a project through writing and development to layout and ending up with a book. I’m not going to give … Read more
After last week’s blog, how about we get back to business as usual? And in a lot of our worlds, the above picture by Sam Araya for V20 Lore of the Clans (see below) is business as usual! But no, first I just need to take a minute to touch base on all the … Read more

We’ve been talking a lot about the incredible response that we got from the nWoD Dark Eras Kickstarter. The more we discuss it the better historical era gaming sounds, and judging by the never-ending buckets of emails and posts we get, most of you agree. Things were really bad back then in history, and it … Read more
Every so often, I like to reiterate a few points relating to who Onyx Path Publishing is and what we strive for and believe in. The mere fact that we can believe in things other than “sell lots of books” (although we do believe in that too), should let folks know we are not a … Read more
Can you believe that this silly picture that Impish Ian, living up to his name, posted early Sunday as just a timely funny pic has generated over 4,000 retweets, over 1,000 favorites, and added around a hundred new followers to our Onyx Path Twitter account? We were stunned. We should stop all this unnecessary nonsense … Read more
We talked mostly about three things today. The first you can hear more about in the BLURBS! section below, and that was the launch last Weds. of the Advance PDF of the Werewolf: the Forsaken 2nd Edition featuring the Idigam Chronicle core rulebook. Awhooo! Very pleased with how well the book came together and with how … Read more
