Any Plans for more Shards?

Any Plans for more Shards?

Shards as in non-canonical settings for folks to have fun in, a la Dragon & Masks?

There are a few ideas in a pre-pitch stage. I don't know that I could call them plans at the moment, but there's a pitch in particular that's pretty likely to happen. I think a lot of folks will have fun with it.

That's wonderful

Does Saint and Monsters features minotaurs or Giants as player characters?

Will there be rules for playing cthonians?

I've been uninvolved in Saints & Monsters' development, so that doesn't feel like my spoiler to give. I'll invite the dev to answer and see if they feel like answering, though.

As in a how-to on running an Underworld?

There's a little of that coming up soon in Realms of Magic & Mystery. I don't know if a more in-depth look is feasible, as every Underworld is different. Heck, Mictlán's actually 9 Underworlds (although most of the actual business takes place in Chiconahualóyan.) That's not a definite "no," but it is something that'll be challenging to pull off.

For right now, I don't have a solution that does a good enough job of walking the line between cultural respect, breadth of options, and playable content. If that changes, I think it'll make for a fun book.

No, I meant playing the actually creatures. Could you play a demon, or a Fury?

Oh, totally. Those would both count as Denizens, which have rules at the end of Origin, starting on page 162. There are a few templates that I could see as appropriate for Erinyes out of the box, depending on which aspects you're interested in.

Denizens are getting some love in Saints and Monsters, as seen here: http://theonyxpath.com/scion-saints-monsters-preview-3/

I don't think there's any direct cues from her, but I'm sure some of her work at least indirectly inspired some of the ideas. There are a lot of Exalted fans working on God.

Is Saints and Monsters getting kickstarted for a print run or going to pod on drivethru?

[Burbankfr]

Is there any plans to finish the origin and hero books with corrections, examples and working mechanics?

Can you share any details on No Gods, No Masters (or point me in the direction of the relevant blog posts if I missed them)?
