Only four more Clans to go in Lore of the Clans! Right now I anticipate getting one more up this week, and the last two early next week, so the whole open development process should be done by the middle of the month. Today we present the Toreador, written by Christopher Wilde. Like with the Giovanni chapter, … Read more
Moving right along on Lore of the Clans, we present the Ventrue, written by Alan Alexander. Here’s the link to the Google Doc: Edit: Link removed now that open development is closed. Thank you! Alan tried some new things, and as a result ran way over on wordcount. As such, I have to cut heavily, and there’s … Read more
Legacies As mages interact with the Mysteries, their gnosis grows, deepening their understanding of magic and developing into a unique style.

Next up for Lore of the Clans are the Tremere, written by Andrew Peregrine. Here’s the link to the Google Doc: Edit: Link removed now that open development is closed. Thank you!

It’s my last day at home before starting the Ohgod miles journey to Indianapolis and GenCon, but I think the poll on the last post is now comprehensively won by “Consilia,” and I thought I’d put the next post up. Speaking of GenCon, I’ve now had the working draft of Fallen World Chronicle … Read more
Beating the Orders out by a nose, Paths won the vote. Like I said last week, we’re not voting on next week’s topic – I’ll be at GenCon, so I’m going to prewrite a guide to Awakening’s inspirational media and publish it on Wednesday whenever I get within range of the internet on my very, … Read more
