Hi, gang, I must say, it was encouraging and refreshing to see so many requests for a teaser about the themes of Mummy: The Curse. Since theme is so fundamental to Storytelling games (and to storytelling in general), it’s certainly a great place to start. Like other World of Darkness games, the world of Mummy … Read more
One last tribal spread; they seem to be okay format-wise, but what the heck. The Uktena always struck me as one of the “least picked” tribes, but I think they’re beyond fascinating. It seems appropriate to show you them, especially as we have a revised Prescott sketch to go with it. He added some more … Read more
Here we see the Nabataean, one of the Children of the Revolution penned by Mummy developer C.A. Suleiman. Thematically, I love this guy. He exudes a mythic feel that’s perfect for an elder vampire, and he does it without being an uber-character who can blow something into splinters by looking at it. He’s also tied … Read more
Sorry, folks, but I’ve been quite occupied with things that didn’t lend themselves to posting. So, here’s a quick question to throw out for discussion: Tribal Weaknesses. Completely optional, added in for Revised, mostly used by folks who wanted to add some more drawbacks to the Garou. Should we include them? The argument pro is … Read more
Meeting Notes We moved our Monday meeting to Wednesday because I had a day-long planning meeting for the WoD MMO. We both lament having to take vitamins. I think they’re getting bigger as I get older. The Blood Sorcery and Children of the Revolution art direction is going on simultaneously. Rich is looking at some … Read more

Quick something for the weekend: A couple of you noticed the tweak to Backgrounds we’ve made for Werewolf 20. Essentially, it always seemed a little odd to us that no Get of Fenris could ever have a Contact: yes, it’s socially discouraged, but it’s not categorically impossible, and it feels weird to say that no … Read more
Here’s a sketch for the Bone Gnawers full page piece that is just full of storytelling. Here were the art notes Ethan and I worked up for Ron: Bone Gnawers: The setting will really sell this one: someplace run-down and hellish, a Rust Belt abandoned construction site or junkyard or junk-strewn underpass. The kind of … Read more
Below, you’ll find Azrael, a black metal musician whose concept came directly from the comments section of previous blog posts (thanks, Paul Smith!). Eddy took the core concept and cleaned it up a bit for publication, then I went through and made a few adjustments to take into account the greater directions of the book. … Read more
Hi, gang, So, not only is this my first WWblogs post, but it’s my first WordPress… well, anything of any kind, so I hope you’ll indulge me while I figure this interface out. In the meantime, it’s great to be here. For those who don’t know me, my name’s C.A. Suleiman and I’m developing a … Read more
