A Peculiar Definition of Core

One of the interesting things about this process has been expanding beyond the “core.” I’ve worked on two Werewolf core books myself simply from the cWoD alone, and done at least one translation project (the original Werewolf: The Dark Ages). W20 is an entirely different beast, play on words unintended but unavoidable. So I’m used … Read more

Pollen Count = Body Count

Meeting Notes It’s pollen season in Atlanta. Of course, Rich is safely tucked away in a different state, so I’m the only one suffering. If you’ve never been to Atlanta before, that yellow crap in the picture is exactly what it looks like. It’s so damned attractive, let me tell you. We talked a bit … Read more

John Carter of Venus. Wait, no, Mars.

Meeting Notes Pollen has fallen in Atlanta. I’m still groggy from the allergy meds. Rich’s flu is about over, but a LOT of people in his area came down with it at about the same time. Weirdly, his kids didn’t get sick. We talked John Carter. We both really liked it. I see his point on … Read more

Sick Monster

Meeting Notes Rich is feeling pretty crappy today, so we kept the meeting short so he could get back to bed and keep sleeping it off. We talk a little about wrapping up season one of our online V20 game, and how long it’s been since either of us has played Masquerade tabletop regularly. V20 … Read more

The Kicking and Starting Have Succeeded

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed and spread the word – the credits page is going to be huge. Can it … Read more

Fare Thee Well, Mike

Meeting Notes I went to see John Oliver live last weekend. Lots of fun. Rich is within a few hours of a final proof for the Werewolf Translation Guide. Victorian Lost art coming in, and edited text all to Rich. Talking with Russell about new Requiem products. We talk about demons and machine gods. W20’s … Read more

The Voice of Rage

So first drafts are rolling in and I’m working on them apace. It’s very interesting being back in this headspace after so long. In fact, it’s a slightly altered headspace, because there’s a certain level of Werewolf spirit that needs to be amplified from where I used to be. Every author has an individual voice. … Read more

Kickstart Your Companion

Meeting Notes V20 Companion Kickstarter doing really well — almost halfway funded already! New reward tiers coming. First drafts of W20 are rolling in. There should be some open development posts next month. Starting to discuss translation rights for V20 with publishing companies that want to print translated versions. (France, Spain, Italy, Germany, maybe Portugal, … Read more

V20 Prestige Print Run

If you haven’t heard yet, we’ve got news regarding the V20 Companion. In particular, we’re using Kickstarter to help finance a prestige print run of the book. Response to the limited Grande Masquerade edition of V20 was so positive, and we heard so many times that players wanted to be able to find other limited-edition copies … Read more
