Your mistake is in thinking of the World of Darkness and Chronicles of Darkness as different editions of the same game: they are not, despite both having been called the "World of Darkness." They're two separate settings, albeit with similar supernatural creatures and themes.

The two settings and their respective editions:

World of Darkness

• Vampire: The Masquerade - 1991: 1st Edition, 1992: 2nd Edition, 1998: Revised Edition, 2011: 20th Anniversary Edition, 2018: 5th Edition
• Werewolf: The Apocalypse - 1992: 1st Edition, 1994: 2nd Edition, 2000: Revised Edition,

The PDF release dates included in the Kickstarter are when Kickstarter backers receive the PDF. And those were delivered to backers in December 2018.

There was no core Trinity Continuum rulebook last time around, just Æon, Aberrant, and Adventure!. This is more likely a remnant of one of the four major revisions of Storypath we went through during development. There were a bunch of rogue references that made it through until fairly late in development.

In this case: you normally get one optional "free" Injury Stunt with a successful attack, and can then spend four successes to get a Critical Injury Stunt, for a total of two injuries. Worse Than It Looks would grant you one additional free Injury prior to the Critical...

I'm not aware of any physical dice in this format which are currently available in this style, but they're available digitally in the Onyx Dice app.

I would recommend against holding your breath....

Highlander is basically just a serious implementation of hammerspace.

To be fair, the Venture Tower does blend in with the surrounding architecture.

I'll edit the title to reflect that. Please make an effort to make that more obvious in the future; the new Aberrant's manuscript was previewed just a few months ago, so most Aberrant questions are going to be about that rather than the edition that came out 20 years ago....

Several years ago, I remember seeing a bunch of symbols for the various Thallain kith, and they were all sort of darker reflections of the kithain symbols. Boggans have a bee on a hexagon, but boggarts had a wasp on a pentagon. Sluagh have a spider, but Bogies had a squid. Trolls have a hammer, but Ogres had a morningstar.

Low-quality example here:



However, I can't find a source for them. Were they official? Did they come from a book? If so, which one?

Thanks!...

Just as a point of clarification, White Wolf published Vampire 5th Edition, V5 Camarilla, and V5 Anarch. Onyx Path wasn't involved in those.

Onyx Path has made V5 Chicago by Night (which is not yet available except to Kickstarter backers, but it's coming soon) and we are working on Cults of the Blood Gods. Modiphius also has a number of books on the way out....

Couple of pages old but I'm going to clear up some of the higher-level Onyx Path stuff:

White Wolf's staff of ~50 could fit on a bus. Many people were surprised that the company was that "small."

Onyx Path's full-time staff can fit in a single car: Rich Thomas is the creative director, Lisa Thomas is the office manager, Mike Chaney is the art director, and Matt McElroy is our operations manager. Literally everyone else is a freelancer.

Despite this, we manage four of our own game lines (Scarred Lands, Scion, They Came from Beneath the Sea!, and...

In a normal area of space, there's no way to exhaust psi, any more than you can "use up" the gravity. The universe's ambient psi will rush to fill in any gaps faster than you can make it. Even if everyone on Earth were psi-active and using their powers at once, it's unlikely they'd notice any interruption in flow.

Of course, quantum energies may make it more difficult to access psi, so some QFZs may effectively be noetically dead. It may theoretically be possible to put up "walls" so that no new psi rushes to fill a gap, and thus a psion may exhaust all the psi...
