The Pathcast was edited together from both panel recordings. It's not 100% of both, but hits the salient points that were discussed in each.

I seem to recall -- although this story may be apocryphal -- that in Justin's tenure on Vampire, Kindred were never described as "friends." Vampires have compatriots, allies, co-conspirators. Never friends....

Sunset Empires was one of White Wolf's first PDF releases, before DriveThruRPG was a thing. I'm fairly sure it never got a physical release before DTRPG's PoD program made one available.

In general, non-minor characters can only ever be "taken out" via the damage systems: knocked unconscious or otherwise incapacitated. Killing someone at that point is an intentional choice on the part of either the player characters or the Storyguide.

[IanWatson]

To the contrary.

It's just that, if we wanted to do a new KotE book, we're not going to rely on the same tropes and stereotypes that the original 1998 release did. We'd pretty much want to do a full bottom-to-top rewrite. But if we did, that would't exactly be what people would want or expect from a 20th Anniversary Edition, would it?

If White Wolf wants to do a new KotE book which retcons KotE to the same degree that KotE retconned the Gaki and Bushi bloodlines, I'd be all for it. But that's much more the sort of thing I'd expect to see in a new edition, and not something...

Every time we put a book on Kickstarter, we get people asking why we're putting it on Kickstarter.

First, you have the flow of money backwards: we license from White Wolf, which typically means we pay them to use the IP. That payment could be a flat fee or it could be a percentage of sales, but in any case we're paying them for the license to use the IP. That has always been the case with the relationship between Onyx Path and the White Wolf IP holders.

Second, like most of our Kickstarters, the book is getting produced regardless of the outcome of the Kickstarter....

You'd have to check with Matt and/or Shane, but I'd suspect no. Although it's probably okay to have things heading on the trajectory toward V5, like the events of Beckett's Jyhad Diary.

Francois Mitterand was the president of France. The gentleman you're referring to is Pierre Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada....

[IanWatson]

The new symbol is still a mirror. But this time the cracks reveal an eye in the middle....

[IanWatson]

We like to make money, so yes. We have never to my recollection had any PDF that was Kickstarter-exclusive. Everything has made its way to DriveThruRPG when it was ready.

Innocents was announced at Gen Con last year (although it didn't make it into the brochure) and has been on our Projects page since then. While we're certainly excited about it, it's not one of this year's new announcements.

For those interested, a bunch of the V5 symbols are available on the Unofficial WW Wiki, as part of the symbols project I have in collaboration with Mr Gone .

https://whitewolf.wikia.com/wiki/Vam...uerade_symbols

- V5 ankh
- Camarilla ankh
- New clan symbols for Brujah, Gangrel, Malkavian, Nosferatu, Toreador, Tremere, Ventrue
- (Also the Anarch ankh, but it's lower res for the moment)

Also the new round WoD logo: https://whitewolf.wikia.com/wiki/Wor...rkness_symbols

According to Damsel on BJD p. 114, the only Tremere left in Los Angeles were the "marrow-sucking, divine-with-your entrails kind," which made her yearn for "M" (likely Maximillian Strauss) and his "stupid shades" in comparison.

There's a communique from Mitnick later in the book, in the South America section, IIRC.

And of course the Hallowbrook Hotel is reopened, the Asylum is now the New Asylum, and the Ocean House Hotel has been reopened as the Ocean View Hotel.

It's ambiguous whether or not the Voermans are still around; if...

Please take technical issues to another thread....

Usually, yeah...

There is no Prince's Gambit book. The entry refers to the Prince's Gambit card game.
