I’ve been popping over to the White Wolf forums of late, venturing out of my usual game-related online stomping grounds. Which has been nice, because I’ve been able to read – and occasionally comment on – Demon-related things. One of the things that folks have asked about is Aether. What is it, really? Apparently, the Quickstart didn’t … Read more
The Demon quickstart, written by Matt, went to editing today. Meanwhile, Mike is hard at work on designing the character sheet. It’s a bit of a challenge, since Demon has a significant bit that none of the other games have. The quickstart is called “Honey and Vinegar.”
And then, last night, the exciting conclusion to our Demon: The Descent game: How An Angel Dies. The characters, you’ll recall, were in quite a pickle. Will was facing off against the demon-wolf, Marchosias, with Edgar and Luke nearby. Simon had sucker-punched Jamie, and Amy had caught her as she plummeted earthward. And Saskia was stuck in her own … Read more
As you probably know, it’s Demon: The Descent. So what now? Well, Rich gives updates on the general state of things every Monday over on the aptly named Monday Meeting Blog, but he has a lot of irons in the fire, so maybe you’d appreciate a little more direct information about Demon?

So, the first thing we did was spend some experiences. Michelle bought the Fungible Knowledge Embed, and then plugged that into her Cipher (formerly known as Interlock Matrix). Her … Read more
Well, actually, that’s the title of a song from Rent, which has nothing thematically in common with the concept of Cover from Demon: The Diiiiidontthinkso, but I started thinking about this entry and now it’s in my head. So there. We’ve talked about Cover in a lot of the playtest write-ups, and in some of the other … Read more
Jim’s Group – Playtest 10 May 13 Between sessions, I’d decided after seeing that both Blood & Smoke and Dave’s Mage rules to tide folks over until and unless Awakening gets the GMC treatment give their supernatural critters 10 dots of Merits to start with, I would do the same and see how that worked … Read more
So, to recap: The other day I asked for helping in renaming an Embed. Someone called “darkfool” commented and gave us “Last Place You Look,” which we felt was pretty spot-on. I then asked darkfool to pick a number, 1 to 80. darkfool picked 8, so I count down 8 in the list of Embeds, … Read more
