A list of the various settings and game lines in development.
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
Howdy, faithful Kindred scholars. Tonight I have for you Nasch the Circassian. He’s got a few years under his belt, and he often finds his way into some high-profile trouble, but he has some blemishes in his history that a clever coterie might be able to work around or even remedy. In particular, I like … Read more
Ron Spencer has been full steam ahead with sketches and is now in create like crazy mode, so it’s a good time to show a few of the sketches. First, here’s the redo of the Bone Gnawer piece, with a fair number of minor alterations that really improve the piece. Please note that he did … Read more
Hi, gang, I must say, it was encouraging and refreshing to see so many requests for a teaser about the themes of Mummy: The Curse. Since theme is so fundamental to Storytelling games (and to storytelling in general), it’s certainly a great place to start. Like other World of Darkness games, the world of Mummy … Read more
One last tribal spread; they seem to be okay format-wise, but what the heck. The Uktena always struck me as one of the “least picked” tribes, but I think they’re beyond fascinating. It seems appropriate to show you them, especially as we have a revised Prescott sketch to go with it. He added some more … Read more
