The Scintillating Flame – Qashmallim [Promethean: The Created]

They have been with us since the beginning, adjusting and guiding Humanity’s destiny. Often quiet and subtle, sometimes terrifying and awe-inspiring, the strangers promote change; distillation and entropy. They have been frequently mistaken for angels, and religious alchemists named them qashmallim, the Dominions. Of all the World of Darkness’ inhabitants, Prometheans know them best, as … Read more

Learning How to Be a Person [Promethean: The Created]

This past week, we got an email from a guy who found a particular resonance in Promethean. He’d been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome (a form of high-functioning autism), and his story of how he’d struggle for years to fit in with people struck us as particularly poignant. You can read the email here. If you don’t … Read more

Also, … Read more

Reddit AMA

It’s that time of year again! At 6pm EST tomorrow (Wednesday) we’ll be running an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on reddit’s /r/rpg subreddit. Apologies for the lateness.

Beasts Wild and Strange [Cavaliers of Mars]

Cavaliers of Mars is influenced by the kinds of older fantasy and historical fiction of various eras that I’m so fond of — you’ll find some Jack Vance rubbing shoulders with some Arturo Perez-Reverte, just for starters.
