Ron Spencer has been full steam ahead with sketches and is now in create like crazy mode, so it’s a good time to show a few of the sketches. First, here’s the redo of the Bone Gnawer piece, with a fair number of minor alterations that really improve the piece. Please note that he did … Read more
Meeting Notes Since Rich and I met last week on Thursday, we didn’t have too much to go over this time around. I spent the weekend playing the Secret World beta, and got some interesting ideas, even if the background did remind me of an RPG design I had back in 1997. Rich is getting … Read more
Meeting Notes A fair amount of the meeting was trying to work with Rich on getting pictures to work right on the new Kickstarter project page. Flickr doesn’t host photos the same anymore, which broke things, so we tried to use Photobucket instead, with mixed success. I ran out of tricks. We talk a bit … Read more
Hi, gang, I must say, it was encouraging and refreshing to see so many requests for a teaser about the themes of Mummy: The Curse. Since theme is so fundamental to Storytelling games (and to storytelling in general), it’s certainly a great place to start. Like other World of Darkness games, the world of Mummy … Read more
One last tribal spread; they seem to be okay format-wise, but what the heck. The Uktena always struck me as one of the “least picked” tribes, but I think they’re beyond fascinating. It seems appropriate to show you them, especially as we have a revised Prescott sketch to go with it. He added some more … Read more
Here we see the Nabataean, one of the Children of the Revolution penned by Mummy developer C.A. Suleiman. Thematically, I love this guy. He exudes a mythic feel that’s perfect for an elder vampire, and he does it without being an uber-character who can blow something into splinters by looking at it. He’s also tied … Read more
Sorry, folks, but I’ve been quite occupied with things that didn’t lend themselves to posting. So, here’s a quick question to throw out for discussion: Tribal Weaknesses. Completely optional, added in for Revised, mostly used by folks who wanted to add some more drawbacks to the Garou. Should we include them? The argument pro is … Read more
Meeting Notes We moved our Monday meeting to Wednesday because I had a day-long planning meeting for the WoD MMO. We both lament having to take vitamins. I think they’re getting bigger as I get older. The Blood Sorcery and Children of the Revolution art direction is going on simultaneously. Rich is looking at some … Read more
Hi, gang, I’d like to get the blog ball rolling by giving you an opportunity to weigh in on the things you’d like to see covered here in the weeks leading up to the game’s release. I can’t promise I’ll be able to divulge the skinny on certain details, of course, but I can promise … Read more
Quick something for the weekend: A couple of you noticed the tweak to Backgrounds we’ve made for Werewolf 20. Essentially, it always seemed a little odd to us that no Get of Fenris could ever have a Contact: yes, it’s socially discouraged, but it’s not categorically impossible, and it feels weird to say that no … Read more
