Now available in advance PDF from DriveThruRPG: Beast Player’s Guide for Beast: The Primordial!
You know what’s out there? No, you don’t. Stop trying to list them off. Yeah, yeah, you’ve met the vampires and the werewolves and the ghosts and so forth, but you haven’t seen a hundredth of what’s really there. Look, I’m not shaming you. I’m trying to make a point. You don’t know. You never will. There’s no complete picture, no magic moment where you see the whole truth and get to yell “ah-ha!” You don’t know. I don’t know. We never will. That’s really a good thing, my sister, because it means there’s so much yet to see.

The Beast Player’s Guide expands on the material presented in Beast: The Primordial, with additional information on the Families and Hungers, what it feels like to be a Beast and experience the Devouring, and how to commune with the Dark Mother. You’ll also find two new Families and two new Hungers!
The book also includes a plethora of new Atavisms, Nightmares, Merits, and Birthrights, as well as systems for creating smaller, subservient versions of the Horror, new forms of Inheritance, and details on the mysterious Obcasus Rites.
Also available in advance PDF: Night Horrors: Enemy Action for Demon: The Descent!
“Fighting the Machine is like fighting the ocean. You literally cannot hurt it. Doesn’t matter how much poison we dump into the ocean. We’ll only kill the things in it. We’ll never kill it. Same with the God-Machine. Kill angels, traitors, stigmatics, cultists, cryptids, whatever, you’ll never hurt the Machine Itself. No, that doesn’t mean we stop trying. You stop trying, you drown. Screw that.”
—Mr. Bliss, Guardian Inquisitor
Night Horrors: Enemy Action includes:
- Dozens of Storyteller characters, including Unchained, angels, exiles, cryptids, and stigmatics, for use as antagonists, allies, or just inspiration
- Multiple plot hooks and story seeds for your Demon: The Descent chronicles
- A brief look at cults in Demon, including the Ten Thousand Names of God, a secret society fueled by the God-Machine

Awesome! 🙂 very excited for the 2 new releases and can’t wait for the Trinity materials to start moving through 🙂 Any word on what the kickstarter after Dragon-Blooded might be?
Given how much the Kickstarters rely on how far along the project is in the production pipeline, we tend to only have the next one planned. It’s not that we’re keeping anything secret, it’s that we can’t commit unless the project is ready.
Based on my tracking of things in development, the top candidates are Fetch Quest (the Pugmire card game) and the second editions of nHunter and Geist.
