Hurt Locker: Alpha Outline [World of Darkness]

This more or less speaks for itself, right? I’ve been super busy with the V20 Dark Ages Kickstarter. If you haven’t seen it, you should. It’s hot. I sourced a bunch of ideas. I compiled them, reinterpreted them, and this is the book I think I’ve got brewing. Check it. I’d love thoughts. Sooner than … Read more

A Cautious Sniff [Pugmire]

(The image attached to the post is what I got when I searched for “dog armor” on Wikipedia Commons, as there isn’t any art for Pugmire yet. Consider it “inspirational” rather than an actual art direction.) Waaaaaay back in August, Rich and I announced Pugmire for the first time at GenCon. It’s a new creator-owned fantasy game (specifically, owned by my … Read more

Alchemists: Mixologists of Evil [Promethean: The Created]

Look, you want updates while I’m mid-coffee, you take your chances with the post titles. Now, glib titles aside, alchemists are not necessarily evil. Mark Stone proposed, while we were brainstorming Promethean 2nd Edition (then known simply as The Firestorm Chronicle) that we should include mortal alchemists as antagonists.

Sewing Parts Together: Playtests Begin [Promethean: The Created]

I’ve sent out, and received back, NDAs from a few groups who want to lend us their help in making Promethean: The Created 2nd Edition awesome. Honestly, I was thrilled by the response. Promethean has always been, to my thinking, the NWoD game that was amazing in concept but didn’t quite get the play it deserved (much like … Read more

Carthian Merits and Law: The Voice of the People [Vampire: The Requiem]

There’s a difference between vampire revolutionaries who see humans as the proletariat, and vampire revolutionaries who see humans as the means of production. –Greg Stolze Since we got into the grisly magic of the Circle of the Crone last time, I thought this time we’d talk a little about politics. Of course, the Carthians would … Read more

Drawn to the Flame [Mage: The Awakening]

It’s another layover week, which after last week’s vote means it’s Obrimos time! First, a mood-setter. The Obrimos are unusual in our Path refreshes; they’re the least-changed Path with the most-changed Arcana. We’ve used the opportunity of our two-fold Path schemes to promote non-religious Obrimos as valid characters, but despite or possibly because I’m a … Read more
