Monday Eddy was sick, so we didn’t have our meeting. Tuesday, he was OK, so we did meet over lunch, but then I, overwhelmed by a wave of post-Exalted 3rd Kickstarter whoop-ass, just lagged out. I’m pretty sure the after effects are over, but boy, a month of that crazy Kickstarter really just drained me. … Read more
I heard you want to know something. I’m going to tell you how to find out. Listen up. You know where to be. If you’re not there, I can’t help you. Once there, who do you talk to? Well, I don’t want to be too explicit. You never know who might be watching. Let’s try … Read more
And here, the last piece of the book. Alan covered a lot in a small space — even trying to cut as much as I could, it’s still a bit over. Chapter Seven, Part 2 And now, a couple of points going forward. 1) I couldn’t fit nearly as much as I wanted into the … Read more
Wednesday, we played our fourth and probably penultimate session in How an Angel Dies, the SAS for Demon: The Dysphagia. If you want a refresher, last session is here. 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
Now I’m up to the last chapter, all of the material we’re converting to V20 from previous Vampire: The Masquerade books. When completed, this chapter will flow together, but right now it’s in two chunks. This first chunk is by Jason, and covers Thaumaturgy Paths and Rituals. There’s a distinct Tremere slant, and a couple … Read more
(This update is reposted from the Kickstarter page: Update 36: One Day of Glory Left) How could this month have flown past so fast? One day left for this amazing, record-breaking, KS-busting, crazy fun-house of a Kickstarter! We’ll be saying this again, but its never too early: we are awed by the support and devotion … Read more
After a look at various vampire factions large and small, it’s time to dig into something that all vampires can hate: those that sell their souls to the infernal. This covers infernalism, how vampires make contracts, and the groups in the Sabbat and the Camarilla that hunt them down. Ree did a solid job on … Read more
Here we have a short chapter poking at some of the weirder parts of the canon: the True Black Hand, the Inconnu, constructs, and Caitiff “spontaneous magic.” Most of my comments to Ree were suggestions to dig deeper into some of these topics and pull out a few more rituals. As a note, in the … Read more
The sample characters from the White Howlers Tribebook got a great reception, so now I’m throwing out the Gifts for open development. Take a look, see what you think, and comment on the Google doc.

And I think this is a good time for me to talk a little about open development. Follow me below the cut for more. To make up for that, I’ve also got another recipe from the W20 Cookbook down there. 🙂
How did we get here so fast? So many projects- we need to warp time to cover them all. Like a Time-Lord even. Look at me, the king of segues- so Eddy and I talked about Dr. Who at today’s Monday Lunch Meeting, and as we’ve discussed in the past we’re both kind of “meh” … Read more
