Bloom, vine and root again...

Plus 2e isn't that far off and I imagine a few people want to see their favourite groups/pet projects get updated.

[FallenEco]

I mean no disrespect but do you have any idea when that will be? I'm not asking about a release timetable but rather something more closely resembling a priority list of book ideas. Stuff you'd like to work on between splatbooks.
Like how Arms of the Chosen was worked on between the Core and WFHW. It doesn't....I am sorry but I feel I am phrasing this badly but can't think of another way....

[FallenEco]

FYI; the latest Contagion setting (Santiago) has a write of a Deviant in it, and what I presume is a 'creator' conspiracy.

[FallenEco]

So how do the Fire-aspects of Lethe cope? We know there is at least one DB lineage down there....

[FallenEco]

That...is much more balanced than what I saw. Sorry...

[FallenEco]

I can see some Artifacts that count as a method, granting additional intervals (die rolls) to sorcerous workings. Not so much speeding them up though.

The companion is very crunch heavy, if I'm reading it right and suffers from gameline supremacy ' issues. Meaning in addition to being very dense and (more) difficult to write, it will have large sections that a lot of people will ignore because 'those crossovers don't interest them'.

Do not get me wrong, I love the Companion and want the fully fleshed out thing. So very much. But I get why the Devs might prefer writing more setting material, heck it could easily be more fun....

I've gathered a lot of homebrew and 'fixes' over the years, not for use in most games (those kind of thing tend to shine best in a vacuum imo) but they work really well as infected.

For example, the ST Vault recently got a new product called Kinslayers. Generally speaking, I would not run this in a normal Beast game, unless it was an all Hero game. But as a infection, a place where those who are Devoured become these 'Heroes' and the true Heroes are slowly changing into this new breed as the Contagion spreads...
Well, that works well.

Basically any hack or variant...

It illustrates how easy it is too go from Sworn to False.Also why it is a bad idea to try and turn an Exile into one of the Created

[FallenEco]

Oh howdy. Why not? Let's be bait...

[FallenEco]

That sounds like the safest way to do it for your sanity Cinder. I want you to know that your effort is appreciated. You've done really well and I look forward to buying this Era in whatever form is available when it goes to the Vault.

I tend to worry about burnout with content creators and if splitting it in two gives you breathing room, then so be it....

[FallenEco]

And now we have a DRC chapter in Contagion...have fun

[FallenEco]

I figure we might see other Specializations if we get certain things to line up in the stretch goals; for example, the Deceived, masters of nomenclature (name magic) gain no special benefit when using either of the high end Semiotics, including "Name".

[FallenEco]

Do we know enough for there to be any differences? The 'changes' I've heard of so far are more akin to clarifications unless I am forgetting something.

[FallenEco]

I'm a little Torn between Semiontics and Intel. Heck, the latter has me reconsidering Zero Hour and it's philosophy entirely in light of how one leads to the other.

[FallenEco]

It probably won't be too long, but I generally assume it'll be at least a few weeks. Then if it shows up earlier I can be surprised.

I think this might also be before they finalize layout though. Then it is off again to make sure that is okay. I could be wrong, but sometimes it seems the book is all done and then it is stuck in layout for a long time. Presumably , in those cases, there is an issue with some of the artwork and it needs to be redone...then placed in the book and show to WW again because it is different...

Butt that is rampent speculations . The book will...

[FallenEco]

No...it means the IP holders are going to look at it

[FallenEco]

Fun fact about the Edinburgh setting; Knud gets name dropped as the sire for our original Blightfang. It evolved into that new form, which is nice to see. The Contagion changes, adapts......

[FallenEco]

I'd allow it for at least one case. We do have translation guides......
