Dear God I hope not. NWoD was vehemently against them, I assume CofD is as well. We may see examples like Strix Synthesis monstrosities or what happens when you make a Promethean using Changeling parts though.

It's also because I knew this was coming.
Chicago is for three of the gamelines. This will be for all eleven.Especially if we get all sorts of bizarre situations that stem from the interactions of different splats.

Second Chances
No matter how brilliant city write-ups are, books devoted to them are said not to sell very well. That's why folding them into other books is such a good idea. If there's ever a book devoted to Tokio, the Crossover Chronicle is it.

Honestly, I'd love an entire book on Tokyo at some point. But that (hopefully) is a topic for another thread.

... or maybe one, big chapter on Tokyo with crossovers in mind?

So, here's my biggest question right now. Will this book have a settings chapter like the other Chronicles? And will it mean more Tokyo?

Pitty it will come in 2017, as I would use it for my growing now Mage-Promethean crossover, but even then - interested in book. I like to make crossover plots in normal, 'pure' chronicles and this book will ease the pain of it.

I'm super-torn right now, because I don't entirely understand the goal of this product which I only know about from a brief paragraph in a brochure. It'll clarify a lot of detailed interactions between the game lines, but if I'm not excited by that minutia, I'm not sure why I should be interested. I guess I'm sort of missing what this adds to the world, versus what it provides more detail on, but right now I don't think there's anything that can be done to fix that.

I never was a fan of Crossovers, and I feel that for them to work, each splat would need to be written with Crossover in mind; this clashes a lot with current model of "each splat is designed as it's own island, sacrificing crossover levers to strengthen it's own thematic identity". This book would need a lot, lot of mechanical rebalancing to the splats.
At any rate, on my own end, there's a large number of things I'm wondering about the product, but given it was just announced and the answer for 90% of them is likely "dunno yet", I'll just have to keep an ear out.
