A list of the various settings and game lines in development.
Hi, gang. Last week, we talked a bit about how magic suffuses the Arisen, from their fleshly shells to the occult wonders they can work in the living world. This week, we expound on magic in Mummy. Magic as Lifeforce Wherever life exists—or even the potential for life—mystical energy bubbles up from the cosmic firmament … Read more
And the winner, with a grand total of two people suggesting their names: the Glass Walkers! Which is an interesting group either way you look at it, because also they’re one of the few tribes that gets a bonus camp Gift list (now with corrected spelling. I hope). Glass Walkers Many Glass Walker Gifts involve … Read more
Commenter Adam suggested that we include the character Dastur Anosh, Black Hand Seraph (referenced in Caine’s Chosen), Assamite antitribu, and Kindred assumed to be extremely dead. Well, that sounds like a fine revolutionary character to me. Joe Carriker worked on him, and Dastur Anosh ends up being, through some clever crafting by Joe, part of … Read more
Hi, gang. Last week, we presented the basics of the sahu — a mummy’s magical reconstruction of form — and this week we’ll be wrapping up our discussion of the sahu with a few thoughts about the overall occult context of the Arisen condition (again courtesy of Malcolm, who helped me design the nuts and … Read more
So you know what to expect from the breed Gifts. Here, then, is a sample auspice Gift list to show you what’s going on there. Again, expect consistency; the Theurges won’t be getting more Level Two Gifts than these guys, for instance, even if there are historically more Theurge Gifts. (There might be, but I … Read more
I saw some good response to Lizette, a comparatively young Kindred whose modern revolutionary Embrace grounded the idea of “Children of the Revolution” in a context of what players and Storytellers might be able to do with the idea of domain and the limited understanding of stagnant Elders. By contrast, here we have Meixiu, a … Read more
Hello again, Kindred revolutionaries. Today we have a vampire much younger than many of the others we’ve seen here, in that she’s only a year old (if that!) but has made quite a place for herself. In particular, what I like about this character are: The creative use of domain, in the form of a … Read more
Hi, gang, Last week, we introduced you to the concept of the Arisen, the principle protagonists of Mummy. Since who/what the Arisen are is central to the game, we’re going to continue our discussion of them this week. My principle cohort on the nature and design of the Arisen was the esteemed Malcolm Sheppard, so … Read more
How many Gifts are in Werewolf 20? A lot. Not all of them — that’s crazy — but a lot. We wanted a lot of choice to differentiate starting characters, so we went up to five initial selections for Level One Gifts. And there’s more than two per level thereafter. Duplication does occur, mind, but people shouldn’t be too disappointed at the lack of choice. At least I hope so.
But why not judge for yourself? Here’s the list of homid Gifts as will be printed in yon book, no more, no less.
Hi, gang, First, I just want to say thanks for the feedback and enthusiasm you’ve shown thus far. Thanks to you, getting the word out on Mummy is starting to look like it might not be the Sisyphean task it otherwise could have been, and that is just as encouraging as it is appreciated. After … Read more
