  • The World [Scion Second Edition Open Development]

    The World [Scion Second Edition Open Development]

    Welcome back, faithful readers! Titans didn’t win, which means today’s blog post is about The World.   Four and a half billion years ago, a ball of molten dust and raw, sun-forged elements coalesced into a planet. This one time, another planet crashed into it, and the resulting molten mass formed into a tiny moon. Other…

  • “Dark Ages is a world lit only by firelight” [V20: Dark Ages Companion]

    “Dark Ages is a world lit only by firelight” [V20: Dark Ages Companion]

    In an interview I hosted several years ago with Richard Dansky as my guest, he said to me “Dark Ages is a world lit only be firelight.” It’s a phrase that’s always stuck with me. In Masquerade, vampires walk the cold city streets illuminated by flickering street lights, neon from shop windows, and the occasional…

    Nine Years and a Week [Scion Second Edition Open Development]

    “His followers called him Mahasamatman and said he was a god. He preferred to drop the Maha- and the -atman, however, and called himself Sam. He never claimed to be a god, but then he never claimed not to be a god.” – Roger Zelazny, Lord of Light We often sneer as we say the word…

  • Quantum Frontiers, Part 2 [Trinity Continuum: Æon]

    Quantum Frontiers, Part 2 [Trinity Continuum: Æon]

    Some interesting questions were raised with last week’s Marfisa preview, courtesy of Topher Gerkey. Let’s see how the rest plays out: Pandorans and Preservers By 2104 the planet’s population had grown to almost five million, and Endurance had achieved a sort of practical, friendly independence from Endeavor. That was the year that everything changed, when – in…

    Quantum Frontiers [Trinity Continuum: Æon]

    Thanks for all your comments about Sudamérica in our last couple of previews! I know the Æon team appreciates your thoughts. Having explored one of Earth’s many continents, let’s turn our eyes skyward. There are dozens of  worlds and outposts in the depths of space. While Sudamérica is territory we’ve travelled before in previous editions (albeit somewhat…

  • Get Your Motor Running [Werewolf: The Forsaken]

    Get Your Motor Running [Werewolf: The Forsaken]

    Last time, I gave you an overview of the contents of The Pack, and the crowd went wild. As well you might, as this book’s going to be amazeballs. Yeah, I went there. I do have a Lodge for you, but I’m going to make you hold on just a little more. Before we get to it, let’s…

  • I can see for miles and miles [Mage: The Awakening]

    I can see for miles and miles [Mage: The Awakening]

    Welcome back, faithful readers! Since we opened Open Development on Signs of Sorcery, Mage: The Awakening Second Edition has moved through layout and proofing to the final approval by White Wolf.  Those of you who read our last post will have already seen the second edition Mage Sight rules, though (if you haven’t, go read…

  • Baby, You’re Much Too Fast [Vampire: The Requiem]

    Baby, You’re Much Too Fast [Vampire: The Requiem]

    Hi, folks. Rose here with a report from the Vampire office. Things have been quiet on the blog front as I’ve been getting upcoming books in order. My responsibilities at Onyx Path are pretty heavy (everything from production to CofD oversight to Kickstarters), so I’ve brought on co-developer Danielle Lauzon for our next book: A Thousand…

  • Teaser: Sudamérica Part 2 [Trinity Continuum: Æon]

    Teaser: Sudamérica Part 2 [Trinity Continuum: Æon]

    You guys provided a ton of great feedback last week. It’s already led to some changes — for example, “First World” and “Third World” terminology has been replaced. The team are taking other comments under consideration. We’re glad to have so many fans who obviously care about the property. Incidentally, Æon developer John Snead was a…

  • Teaser: Sudamérica Part 1 [Trinity Continuum: Æon]

    Teaser: Sudamérica Part 1 [Trinity Continuum: Æon]

    Welcome back! It’s been a few weeks since our last round of teasers for the core Trinity Continuum rulebook, so I asked Æon developer John Snead for a few tidbits for sharing. He gave me… well, he gave me a lot. Two teasers, but they’re each pretty big, so I’m splitting them each into two. Here’s…
