Don't know if we'll do any more blogs

If you can think of a way to reskin it for your character's Clade, then yes. The character in the Wrecking Crew demo with the brain implants sounds like an Invasive character that has some Cephalist powers. Or possibly the other way around. I wasn't involved in the games, and don't know how they statted them.

Huh.

The now-extinct Greater Ministry of Seers that Panopticon replaced worshipped the Nemesis, Exarch of Spirit and symbol of being oppressed by hidden forces. They sponsored secret societies that terrorised human communities anonymously - the Klan, for exanple, would be up their alley.

Angrboda, the Scelestus signiature character, fell from the Pentacle when he went Abyssal to exterminate their last Pylon in the 90s.

They're getting a writeup in the Pirate Dark Era, as the Caribbean at the tine is rife with their interests.

They were named...

Atypic is, iirc, one of the names we're changing because I don't like it. The wrexking crew were given the very earliest draft that was "complete" (as in, all chapters present) to build their scenarios from.

Variations are grouped by Clade with an extra category for Universal ones - you have to have a certain number come from your Clade's list at chargen. Scars are grouped by mental/physical/social and can be combined with Variations howsoever you please.

So, in that spirit, and subject to White Wolf's approval, a couple random things about Signs of Sorcery...

* It has an Imbued Item errata sidebar in it, that grew into a very large Imbued Item errata sidebar, that turned into a "fuck it, let's restate the Imbued Item rules from basic principles in hopefully a clearer fashion" page.

* Ananke are back.

* There's a section called "Reign of the Exarchs" that contains, among other things, details on how Exarch cults of other supernatural creatures (vampires, changelings, etc) operate, the Mage-viewpoint...

I brought Signs with me. A couple of people had a flick through it, but Deviant (which I also brought with me) seemed more popular.

The existence of Wounds (which are Irises to the Inferno, whicj is a Lower Depth) does not make the Shadow a Lower Depth.

The Underworld is heavily damaged, provably the worst-damaged Fallen World, but it's still an ephemeral realm made of an Arcanum

Just as Mage Ghosts are not "normal" and don't follow the Integrity-to-Rank thing a mortal does, I would expect vampire ghosts to have *at least* as many special rules as, say, Dopplegangers or Cthonians should anyone making a Vampire book care to write them up....
