Given the 'straight' nature of Arisen history, it could be important to know when Dreams of Avarice was written and certain events of the Heretic's journey occurred.

Testament part three takes place after the Cannibal Hymn and continues on through the Mighty Despair and arguably the Fall of Isireion (he references Rome and Spartacus).

Testament 4 opens with the Heretic leaves the Closed books to join the Shepards, in India. He begins to write again while moving into lands of the Han. Then he(?) Byzantium while 'the Romans ' were still a power (mania for exotic religions...

Storypath system then? Or just that they are the closest cousins to TCFBTS! ?...

[FallenEco]

Given the complexity of the template differences, I don't think we'll see the Tremere in DE2 short of a dedicated backer expansion (ie the entire word count)

Noted Boss....

They said earlier the opposite actually: high synergy means you are in tune with your rider, influenced by its needs. Low synergy means it struggles against you and your control of of it is limited....

"Kith and Kin"...could also throw a few more friendly fae things in there. Other things that use kith at least. Something to keep in mind.

What the heck are Bane Relics anyway? It was never explained (though based on their name, I am assuming they are relics in synch with the Devourer). It would be nice if they say so in the books.

...I was still doing my happy dance. Now I must now add humming....

[FallenEco]

I am doing a happy dance at this news....

I think they were the Pentacle at that time. Keepers, Cryptics, Arrows, Ladders and Guardians...After they are also the Pentacle....but the Soul of the Dragon is not yet here....

As a huge fan of 1st edition, I am glad 2nd ed is happening. Also hoping that 2nd edition does not diminish the material but rather serve as both an consolidation and update. Having the component systems interact from the start would be a huge boon and would allow for greater interactions between them.

As far as the setting material goes, I would prefer the Judges, Anpu and Pillars get more of the spotlight but I don't want the Deceived and other elements reduced drastically. I am fine with them being pushed to a mostly storyteller section or the hypothetical "Player's Guide"...

Cambion for the S!demon hybrid, Alfar for SA!Fae, etc...honest'y I'd have multiple terms for each of them, as the phenomena is sufficiently rare that the terms are almost always reassigned....

I think the Horrors from the Chronicles of Darkness also covers that niche.
As described, Espers feel more like a 'Proximi animals' or "Supernal-touched". They still have a place but less of "I have never seen anything like this" and more "How did that happen?"...

[FallenEco]

Ditto. Please don't worry about it Boston. Take whatever time you need. Rest, relax and do what you have too. I hope you are alright....

"Here, let us help. Now please, tell us what happened here? How did this tragedy come to pass?"

I have three primary Eras I am considering and one that exists only as a back up, (mostly because I don't want to turf it). Basically, if I can't sum up why it would awesome to have the Era and how we can get a heap of storyhooks and ideas from that crossover in THAT time period in particular, then it didn't make it. More arbitrarily, I'm not going to expand an Era that is already getting expanded or try to add the same gameline to more than one Era or the same Era two different lines. Hence why Promethean in Light of the Sun was cut. (I am considering another Era that I feel is a better fit for...

[FallenEco]

I wonder when it goes live...The book isn't on the MMN release so...

[FallenEco]

Other way around I am afraid....those are the ones I pretty sure I am dropping from my potential suggestions.
Allow me to clarify.

[/LIST]...

[FallenEco]

Yeah, I'd prefer to get creative with the interpretations in order to avoid going all the same splat. Hulk, for example, also works as a Ghost Wolf or an Anakim.



I saw it as a Mysterium/Sliver Ladder Mystery cult split. But I admit that was something I had considered for a convention one-shot that never happened.Might return to it (and share) once more 2nd edition comes out.

(It was a Suicide Squad/Thunderbolts style game; Company Zero team under a TF:V Hunter, a Slasher, Seemingless changeling, Proximi Magneto, Second Sight psychic and an Inferno Posse...

Some of the ideas I had for an expansion are being discarded, as I have to prioritize which Era I want to see the most. Unfortunately it is not a perfect world so my pitches for the following probably will never be officially sanctioned.

• Heresy of the Flame (Promethean in the Light of the Sun, Europe 1600s)
• Dreams of the Desert (Changeling in 1001 Nights)
• Echoes of Antiquity (Beast in the Shadows of the 7 Wonders)
• Disrupting Designs (Demon in the 7 Wonders)
