Meeting Notes
- I’m still recovering from a sudden trip to and from Ohio for a family emergency, as well as planning and moving to a new team on the World of Darkness MMO, so I’m still a little spaced out.
- Rich and I talk a bit about personal stuff, as well as some of the internal approval policies.
- Justin has a big surprise coming for the V20 Companion — there will be an announcement in a week or so.
- We talk a little bit about the Order of the Stick Kickstarter and how amazing that has been.
- Mummy is coming along really well, according to Colin. The writers are very excited about it!
- Layout for the Werewolf Translation Guide is moving forward.
- I got the Victorian Lost edits in early. I’ll try to look those over later in the week.
- I’m also proofing the Geist 1.1 layout along with Ethan, Genevieve, and Rich.
- Werewolf 20th is rolling along, and I got a little bit more progress on the section I’m writing for Ethan. Since some people have asked, pre-orders aren’t open yet for the book. We’ll inform people when they’re available.
- Rich is compiling some art notes for Steve Prescott for W20.
- Masters of Jade for Exalted is doing VERY well. Thanks to everyone who made that a success!
- We talk over the idea of an RPG rules app that has a narrative running through it before I have to go.
Today’s Reason to Drink: Today is Parinirvana Day, a Mahayana Buddhist holiday celebrated in East Asia. It celebrates the day in which the Buddha achieved Parinirvana upon the death of his physical body.
Plenty of teasers here… Looking forward to the announcement on V20 Comp!
So what’s going on with the MMO then? Moving to a new team, does that mean that there’s more people working on it now? 🙂
I can’t talk much about the MMO or our staffing. However, we are using a version of the Scrum process, so moving teams every few months is pretty common.
AH, ok, that makes sense. I’ve recently had my first experience as business owner in an Agile/Scrum project as well and I remember all the new faces every six weeks 🙂
Steve Prescott? *fistpump* Hell yeah! Spencer, Bridges and Steve Prescott?
W20 looks like it’s going to blow V20 out of the water where the artwork is concerned! 😀
I can’t wait to see some thumbnails/sketches, if they will be made available!
BTW: Can we get http://www.werewolftheapocalypse.com directing to the W20 development blog?
Looking forward to the Translation Guide too. Hopefully it’ll help me understand Forsaken a bit better as well.
As for the MMO, it’s always good to hear that it still has forward momentum. 😀
(I hope it at least has some easter eggs like a Bone Gnawer, or Glasswalker glyph on a wall somewhere… )
Any word on when we’ll see the new release schedules?
super excited about Mummy & Geist upgrade. Thanks for updating 🙂
My reason to drink: Anne Rice’s new novel “Wolf Gift” is in my hands!!
