Acting One’s (Dark) Age [Monday Meeting]

Our image this week is an amazing Nosferatu piece by the ever-talented Kieran Yanner from V20 Dark Ages that relates to a couple of the topics Eddy, the Onyx Path crew, and I discussed today. But before I get into that, I just want to thank everybody who joined last week’s blog discussion on RPG reviews. … Read more

Terra Incognita [Mage: The Awakening]

We’ve spoken a lot about Mysteries and Obsessions so far in this blog, and how mages become attracted to, obsessed by, and sometimes killed by the many supernatural aspects of the World of Darkness. Most such things are unique – central Mysteries that individual chronicles revolve around, like the Secret Concord / Prince of 100,000 … Read more

That’s all sorted and the book’s hit a blood great milestone.

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. I had to noodle that – I knew … Read more
