Back in the mists of ancient time, we had a regular lunch meeting on Mondays in which we would talk about what we were working on. It was called the Monday Meeting, because we’re original like that. Slightly less time ago (maybe “distant time” instead of “ancient time” — I don’t have the manual with … Read more
As we move forward with the V20 Companion, it’s important to learn from what has come before. Both to avoid repeating any mistakes and to ensure that we’re hitting the same high notes that kept players happy with the core V20 book, I want to take stock. What worked about the Open Development process for … Read more

Originally posted by Shane on the V20 Blog We were originally only going to do one of these but since the Brujah was so much fun we figure we should give the ladies equal treatment. So help us descend into madness and decide which picture of the lovely and diabolical Stacey Mell Tim will use for the … Read more
