Go to the KS page, and use the link to get to Backerkit. You can preorder it there....

There’s still time to preorder it through the KS page’s link to backerkit, if that’s something you are interested in doing....

The Soldiers were intended as a historic incarnation of the Knights, adjusted for the culture. They were a later addition in the writing process, so unfortunately we didn’t have the words to give them the full treatment....

[White Oak Dragon]

Ah, okay. Thank you for telling me. I was worried I’d been offensive with it. Unintentionally hilarious is something I can deal with....

Is there something wrong with that name? I plucked it from a list of potential names I was provided during my second draft, but I didn’t research it further, so if it’s problematic, that’s on me....

I’m not going to go into too much depth, since I don’t yet know whether I’ll ever get the chance to expand on them officially. I might even do something for the Vault for them eventually, if I have the time and nothing seems to be forthcoming about them in an official capacity.
That said, many of the ideas still involve the Sheut, but with more complexity. For example, the Sheut bearing the Ab Pillar into Duat for judgment.
As far as the vampires go, I gave exactly zero thought to them when writing the shades. The use of blood was a nod to the Odyssey....

You can dial time weirdness up and down as much as you’d like. If the level you prefer for that is zero, it’s not going to cause any trouble. Just like you can play a game of Requiem without needing to include the Strix. The default assumption of the game is that these things exist in the setting, but it is perfectly acceptable to have them not featured prominently or even have them not exist at all....

There isn’t a canon answer for what a shade is at the moment. When writing them, I chose to leave it open for interpretation by individual groups. If I ever get the opportunity to tackle them in more depth, I might give a more concrete answer. I’ve actually considered several different answers to the question, and I’ve had a hard time picking a favorite. I think the simplest answer I’ve considered would be to make them the Sheut of the deceased. I would probably favor a more complex answer if I was to write it up, but it fits well enough.

That was my fault. When I wrote the Condition, I hadn’t realized that the limit of only one Pillar at 0 was no longer in place. Changing it to a minimum of 1 for each Attribute is a simple solution....

You burn a dot for the effects. Sanctity of Experiences refunds them when that happens. You don’t lose the invested Experiences, you just need to redirect them....
