How many Gifts are in Werewolf 20? A lot. Not all of them — that’s crazy — but a lot. We wanted a lot of choice to differentiate starting characters, so we went up to five initial selections for Level One Gifts. And there’s more than two per level thereafter. Duplication does occur, mind, but people shouldn’t be too disappointed at the lack of choice. At least I hope so.
But why not judge for yourself? Here’s the list of homid Gifts as will be printed in yon book, no more, no less.
Meeting Notes The wedding was beautiful. Everything seemed to work out, and Rich didn’t really have any time to have withdrawal from the Internet. We share stories about bridesmaids threatening to thug someone. His dog goes crazy as the UPS guy delivers some more PoD proofs to review. I’m learning German. Not enough to actually say anything, though. … Read more
Hi, gang, First, I just want to say thanks for the feedback and enthusiasm you’ve shown thus far. Thanks to you, getting the word out on Mummy is starting to look like it might not be the Sisyphean task it otherwise could have been, and that is just as encouraging as it is appreciated. After … Read more
Howdy, faithful Kindred scholars. Tonight I have for you Nasch the Circassian. He’s got a few years under his belt, and he often finds his way into some high-profile trouble, but he has some blemishes in his history that a clever coterie might be able to work around or even remedy. In particular, I like … Read more
Ron Spencer has been full steam ahead with sketches and is now in create like crazy mode, so it’s a good time to show a few of the sketches. First, here’s the redo of the Bone Gnawer piece, with a fair number of minor alterations that really improve the piece. Please note that he did … Read more
Meeting Notes Since Rich and I met last week on Thursday, we didn’t have too much to go over this time around. I spent the weekend playing the Secret World beta, and got some interesting ideas, even if the background did remind me of an RPG design I had back in 1997. Rich is getting … Read more
Meeting Notes A fair amount of the meeting was trying to work with Rich on getting pictures to work right on the new Kickstarter project page. Flickr doesn’t host photos the same anymore, which broke things, so we tried to use Photobucket instead, with mixed success. I ran out of tricks. We talk a bit … Read more
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
