With 71 votes, the Lie won out. So, picking up from where we left off; The universe isn’t only the Supernal, defining concepts, and the Fallen, embodying them. When mages use their Sight, they frequently see signs of corruption, warped or nonsensical symbols infecting the world. If the symbols of the Supernal Realms represent everything … Read more
TL;DR VERSION: VAMPIRE CLANBOOK OPEN DEV COMING SOON! WATCH THE BLOGS! DON’T BE A DICK! Much more long-winded and rambling version: Wow, has it been a year already? Last time I was here, I was posting on whitewolfblogs.com, talking about blood magic and all sorts of crazy things. How time flies. Sorry, got nostalgic for … Read more
Okay, so, “the Fallen World” won by a landslide. As most of you have noticed, the Chronicle Books are all named after the story catalyst in their respective games. Not necessarily the antagonist, but the thing that upsets the apple cart, disrupts the lives of the characters and causes a Story. The Strix throw the … Read more
Forsaken Friday’s back, everyone! And it’s a long one, to make up for what I’ve missed.
As you might have noticed, I’ve been a bit busy — both with the Deluxe Book of the Wyrm 20 Kickstarter, and with finishing redlines to pass back to the writers. Let’s get started!
Mage: The Awakening is a big game. It’ll be nine years old this August, and despite the second-largest product line of the new World of Darkness, we haven’t yet revisited everything in that great big turquoise corebook. Over the years, Awakening has developed into a distinct voice from its big brother Ascension. We’ve explored the … Read more
Circumstances — and the crunch of redlining — continue. However, Rites won the delayed vote, and I can talk about them. So let’s do that.
Due to some unforseen circumstances, I’m afraid I can’t offer any Open Development for either Rites or Prey this week. Don’t worry, I’m not going to leave you in the lurch.
Still redlining. Much of the week got eaten by Apocalypse work, but things keep going. Pack creation won 39–19! Let’s see what the future holds
Back in September I shared the V20 Ghouls Outline Panel Recap, and since then I’ve hired a team of writers. This post gives you a quick version of the outline that we hashed out from the Outlining Panel, and what we’ve been working on since then: Prologue: Opening Fiction 5,000 Words – Monica Valentinelli Introduction … Read more
I’m on the redlining charge now. That’s where I read through all the first drafts and mark up comments and corrections, everything from use of the passive voice to rules that don’t do what they claim to do, before passing back to the writers for second drafts. Of the book, I’m about halfway through — 109,000 words out of 215,000. I can normally redline 10 to 20 thousand words each day, but it’s in-depth work that involves keeping the whole contents of the book in my head and cross-referencing everything. That’s why I’m being even quieter than normal — I’m reading, but I need to focus on the redlines so don’t have time to respond just now. I am listening, though. Also? Sleep-deprived. That one’s nothing new, though.
Anyway: idigam won, 42 to 14. So let’s talk about the Moon-Banished.
