After some debate, I’ve decided that I’ll toss up my edits to the drafts, but I’m not going to post my comments to the writers. I tend to have a very direct development style, and by the nature of this process I’m going to be giving the writers their feedback after open development is closed, … Read more
Hello,
How are you? Doing well, I hope. I’ve got some fun things for you to get your teeth into. A couple of the sample characters from White Howlers, fresh for your consideration and comments. These are first drafts, content may change between now and the book, et cetera et cetera. But we still hope you enjoy.
After a bit of a lull, I now have (most) of the first drafts in for Rites of the Blood. As such, I’m starting an open development period that will last from now until June 9th. As I finish my notes on a chapter, I’ll make that file available on a new blog post with notes. … Read more

So! Last time, the characters met Comrade West, learned that they had an angel en route that they could theoretically jack, and learned that they could travel back in time. Yeah, that last one was kind of weird for everyone. Well, the next evening (I’m a big fan of treating games like TV series, so … Read more
EDIT: YOU FOLKS ARE AWESOME! There were lots of good suggestions, some very literate, some very computer-y, some flowery, some nice and simple.
