With 71 votes, the Lie won out. So, picking up from where we left off; The universe isn’t only the Supernal, defining concepts, and the Fallen, embodying them. When mages use their Sight, they frequently see signs of corruption, warped or nonsensical symbols infecting the world. If the symbols of the Supernal Realms represent everything … Read more
Above, you’ll see the cover to the Flowers of Hell: The Demons Players Guide by one of my favorite nWoD artists, Cathy Wilkins. The fact that when we first started working together it was a lot rarer for women to be illustrators in RPGs than now, leads me to this week’s blog. I mentioned last … Read more

TL;DR VERSION: VAMPIRE CLANBOOK OPEN DEV COMING SOON! WATCH THE BLOGS! DON’T BE A DICK! Much more long-winded and rambling version: Wow, has it been a year already? Last time I was here, I was posting on whitewolfblogs.com, talking about blood magic and all sorts of crazy things. How time flies. Sorry, got nostalgic for … Read more
I know I just posted the intro chapter. But I’m feeling really generous this afternoon. Here’s clans. You might be saying, gosh David, that’s a lot of text. It is. The Tzimisce clan writeup isn’t through editing. Neither is the bumper (the opening segment). I can’t make sweeping changes here, but I’m in favor of showing … Read more
Hi all, I’ve been sharing a lot of clan, bloodline, discipline, blood magic, rules, et cetera. But today, I wanted to take a slightly different direction, and share the last thing I usually write for a book: the introduction. I feel these sections are very important, because they set the tone for the rest of … Read more
Okay, so, “the Fallen World” won by a landslide. As most of you have noticed, the Chronicle Books are all named after the story catalyst in their respective games. Not necessarily the antagonist, but the thing that upsets the apple cart, disrupts the lives of the characters and causes a Story. The Strix throw the … Read more

Developing, editing, improving upon drafts based on input, developing, editing, improving, blah, blah, so on, so forth. Right now, I’m focusing heavily on polishing “bumper text” which is the lead-in text before every chapter gets into its meat. That takes a little more work than you might expect, because you’re often trying to blend styles, … Read more
