Actual Play(test): Eric’s Group

by

Eric Zawadzki, the genius behind the story “Prodigal” in the God-Machine Anthology, and one of the writers on Demon: The Complicated Last Names. I’m gonna be posting three playtest write-ups in quick succession. Follow along. Same caveats apply from my playtest: THIS IS A PLAYTEST. Everything from names to powers to setting elements is subject to change. … Read more

Less Human Than Human

by

I promised that even though the open playtest was over, we’d still be posting previews from Blood and Smoke: The Strix Chronicle. I’d intended to do it sooner, but I stepped up and became Onyx Path’s new Development Producer, so blogging’s been a little delayed. Recently, the forums started discussing Humanity, and, since redlines on that section … Read more

Demon Playtest: How an Angel Dies

by

So! Some time ago, we played a session of the forthcoming game from Onyx Path, Demon: The Leopard Gecko (OK, I’m not gonna keep doing weird names for the game. Much. Just remember it’s Demon, we have a subtitle, we haven’t released it yet because it might changed, move on). Before you read any further, … Read more

Who’s The Fool Now, April?

by

As you folks might know, we had a tradition at White Wolf where we put out a product on April Fool’s Day– usually a twisted, but playable, version of  our regular stuff. The Iceland By Night supplement, the Dudes of Legend, etc. This year, we at Onyx Path continue the tradition by publishing Scion: Extras– … Read more

Release: Scion Extras

by

While it is well-known that not every God is as potent as Zeus (and not every Goddess as brave as Isis), even the Gods themselves tend to “forget” their long-lost cousins and great-aunts twice-removed on the other side of the family. Among the immortals, the uber-powerful feel there are some deities best left off Junior’s … Read more

Layout Time

by

W20: Changing Breeds is out of editing and in Chaney’s hands. This is a beast of a book — no pun intended. The original outline was for 90,000 words. That didn’t last very long. I talked to Rich about upping that to 120,000 words. We ended up at near as damnit 135,000 words — fully half as much again as the original wordcount. And now my eyes are bleeding.

In celebration of completing the Editing Pass of Doom™, I’ve included the introduction to the Ajaba below the jump.

In other news, I’m going to be a guest at Conpulsion in Edinburgh — an easy con to get to as it’s right on my doorstep. I’ll be running some Werewolf: The Apocalypse, including an exclusive sneak preview of the Skinner SAS! Hope to see some local Werewolf fans there!

New Release: Mummy: The Curse

by

Imagine being both dead and deathless at the same time. Imagine being cradled in the arms of death for years, sometimes decades on end, but all the while knowing that you will eventually not only arise again, but awaken to an unfamiliar world that mostly fears and hates you. Now imagine that your purpose, your … Read more

An Absurdly Long Day

by

An ABSURDLY long day buried in a pile of books, cross-referencing like a motherfucker, yields about 3500 more words for Mage: The Ascension 20th Anniversary Edition’s fourth chapter – specifically, for a timeline of Mage history that reveals a ton of material… some of it never before revealed… about the world of M:tA. I haz a … Read more
