    The Long Solo [Vampire: The Requiem]

    Hi, folks! As the new year begins, we’re in the final stages of development on A Thousand Years of Night. One of the big points of this project is to provide frameworks for making history meaningful in your games. And something I love in vampire media is flashback scenes that show us our elders in previous lifetimes.…

  • Want for Christmas [Vampire: The Requiem]

    I’ve got a bit of a surprise for you. A few days ago, Facebook made this helpful suggestion: “Share a post about what Vampire: The Requiem has planned for the holidays.” That sounded kind of dangerous.

  • Vampire: The Requiem update

    Hello, everyone. I’ve been quite busy the last few months, with a lot of books and drafts whizzing by back and forth. I’ll keep this fairly short, because I’m going to have more to say on most of these after Gen Con. (See below for more Gen Con stuff.) Secrets of the Covenants Since we…

  • Dropped Like a Stone

    Way back in 2010, I wrote some additional material for The Danse Macabre. Owing to a lack of resources at CCP, this detective story campaign frame went unpublished. Somebody mentioned it on the forums recently, and I decided to go digging. This is what I found. Dropped Like a Stone Everybody loved Georgia Stone. You’re not supposed to…

(We’ve all been there, right?) These are adapted from a variety of previous books, with a few entirely new ones added in. Enjoy! Click…

  • The Jaws of the Beast

    The Vampire office has been a busy place lately. I’ve been developing our Dark Eras chapter, which takes place in Elizabethan London. I’ve also been hammering on the outlines for Secrets of the Covenants, for which I’m now mobilizing the writing team, and the next book after that, which we’ll be announcing soon. Against that backdrop, I’d like to…
