A list of the various settings and game lines in development.
Hi, gang. A couple weeks ago, we introduced the concept of the decree — a personal polarity that defines the core of a given mummy’s soul — and then last week we offered a sneak peek at the cults of the Arisen. Beyond these differences, mummies also organize themselves into guilds: circles that teach Arisen … Read more

Just as a note, the V20 Companion and Children of the Revolution sites have been consolidated and moved to one central location: www.whitewolfblogs.com/v20. Now all future V20 open development will be in one location. Enjoy!
Hi, gang. Last week, we took five to dish a little on our design philosophy behind the Arisen. This week, we’re back to spoiling the hell out of our new game–in this case, cults. From a WoD design perspective, I wanted cults to fill the role filled in other games by elements like bloodlines (Vampire) … Read more

We like … Read more

Today, we continue that discussion with a look at the most important game element derived from the fivefold soul: the decree. During the Rite of Return, its subject truly died. He endured … Read more
