Monday Meeting

PAX, PAx, Pax, pax, p… Back from PAX Unplugged, and we had a pretty semi-verbal sort of meeting today, as most of us who went to the con were so tired we kept forgetting words. Matthew, who had attended Dragonmeet in the UK, thought he might have actually fallen asleep mid-sentence. But we persevered, shared … Read more

Or at least, that’s what they say in The Untouchables. For us, the Chicago Way is the way our V5 Chicago By Night Kickstarter is charging into its last few days and making a real run to top $100k in pledges. That’s great for a city book, even CbyN, and is just from the over … Read more

Let’s start serious and move towards our yearly Thanks blog at the end. I’ve heard from a lot of you asking if the recent messages that White Wolf have posted on their social media are something that will be bad for Onyx Path. As of this writing, everything we’ve heard from over there is that … Read more

Normally, I leave the “celebrations of the lives of those who passed” to the Today’s Reason to Celebrate section at the very end of this blog. But in this case, I need to say just a little something about Stan “The Man” Lee, who died today at 95. People have a lot of thoughts and … Read more

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
