It’s an exciting time to be W20 developer: seeing the books I’ve helmed out on the virtual shelves of DriveThruRPG! We released a glut of books at the end of the year, though with many people celebrating over the festive period they might have flown under the radar. Here’s a recap of what’s come out:
- Changing Breeds is out in PDF and Print on Demand. If you backed the Kickstarter, this final version replaced the previous one in your DriveThruRPG library. The deluxe files have gone to our printers.
- Rage Across the World is out in PDF. This is the same version as sent out to W20 Kickstarter backers. We’re still collecting errata before activating Print on Demand.[1]
- Rites of Renown: When Will You Rage II is out in electronic formats. Again, this is the same version as sent out to Kickstarter backers. Errata thread is here, once we’ve incorporated that we’ll activate Print on Demand[1]
- The W20 Cookbook is out to Kickstarter backers, and people are already posting pictures of the dishes they’ve come up with. We’ve got an errata thread, and once corrections have gone in we’ll get it up on DriveThru.
Meanwhile, Umbra continues apace. I can’t spoil much until I’ve got the first drafts in hand; when that happens I’ll be sure to spill some secrets. 🙂
- Everyone who gets a copy in PDF now will receive a voucher for a discount Print on Demand copy, so your outlay is the same as if you’d waited and bought the bundle. To make sure you don’t miss the notice, head on over to your DriveThruRPG account settings and modify them to make sure you can receive emails from White Wolf. ?
This is probably the wrong place to ask, but Umbra’s probably a shapeshifter-centric look at the Umbra, yeah? Of less interest to a Mage player? Or is it meant to be a grand unifying kinda thing?
As I said in the comments on the previous post on the book:
cool!
Random/silly question: are you guys planning to test the cookbook recipes and have a giant Werewolf meal together? That would be pretty cool. Or do you live thousands of miles apart?
What would you do if you were testing the recipes individually, and one person loved a recipe, but another absolutely hated the same recipe?
That’d be incredibly cool, but unfortunately not really possible. I’m in Scotland, and everyone else is scattered around the US, Canada, and Australia. I tried all the recipes out on my family and friends — I’ve not put anything in the book that I haven’t made and tasted myself. 🙂
I’ve come across the situation where one person loves a recipe while another really hates it. I tested them out on enough people that I got a spread of reactions; if it’s between two or three then the best thing to do is to chalk it up to experience and test out a different recipe next time.
