^Which is fair.

However, I feel there's no real reason to worry much about CofD right now.

Even if they do decide to cancel CofD completely, it's not as if they're going to send spooks to roll in and forcibly confiscate everyone's books. And no, I don't think they would be as petty as removing CofD books from DRPG (if anything, it seems like nuWW is trying to distance themselves from DRPG and not make themselves reliant on it).

Because otherwise, CofD is fine where it's at right now.

Books are released at a steady pace, devs regularly interact...

[tasti man LH]

Either way, if nuWW had that much distaste for CofD, they wouldn't have bothered to keep it around.

They would have shut it down and just had OPP go all-hands-on-deck with WoD5e. And even then, all we know for sure that OPP is doing is *just* Chicago by Night V5....

[tasti man LH]

...hasn't said management walked back a little bit from those initial comments, but just hasn't outright apologized for them?...

[tasti man LH]

That's...not an unfair way to look at things.That they don't actively promote any non-WoD materials and don't acknowledge their existence.

...Which on its own is not really actively malicious. At best, they're confident enough in OPP's work that they don't feel the need to step in. At worst, CofD isn't worth their time and they'd rather focus on WoD.

As disappointing it is that nuWW/Paradox isn't doing anything to actively support CofD, it's manageable. As nice it would be for them to be back in brick-and-mortar, it's not something that i feel is vital. Especially since...

[tasti man LH]

...also, when DE2 comes out I hope to use the Wild West Era to cook something up something for Big Thunder Mountain in CofD.

Runaway Mine Train through the Hedge...

[tasti man LH]

Pretty much. And some of these properties existed years before they became theme park attractions. Gentry would have been poaching that stuff for their slice of Arcadia for years.

(also as a heads up: Transformers is not in a Disney park. That's Universal's parks)



Yeah actually. There have been confirmations that the Galaxy's Edge land, both the Florida and California versions, will be split between First Order and the Resistance.

Two Courts in one land? That would be delightful......

[tasti man LH]

Yaaaas.

And it could go either way. The park being one big trap by the Gentry to lure in prospective targets, especially in an environment where they would have their guard down that being whisked away to the "True Happiest Place on Earth" would be accepted.

Or where each park is a freehold, and each land is a court.

Sure must be a big deal at Hollywood Studios, what with that Star Wars court coming in...

[tasti man LH]

Then what's your criteria, pray tell?...

[tasti man LH]

...of that was remotely true they wouldn't be approving 2nd editions to begin with....

[tasti man LH]

"We don't know yet".

[tasti man LH]

Well when DE2 hits with the Golden Age of Piracy Dark Era, gonna say the various pirate krewes probably used variations of these:

...

[tasti man LH]

Ok then...the general idea of their Trickery is the same: Bright Ones still emit a bright light that can blind people, Gristlegrinders can still eat people. The mechanics behind their ability are completely different.

Bright One's Trickery, Flare, unlike the Underhill version, any enemy targeted by Flare don't get a roll to resist it. If they get hit, they're hit. While they don't get the Blinded Tilt if they're hit, instead they just take a -2 on all Physical and Mental actions for one turn, and they take 1 point of bashing damage. Although if they have the Glamour to spare, they...

[tasti man LH]

Compared to their 1e versions or Underhill versions?



Ok let's see what I can do without straight up quoting the whole kith write-up...

First off, kiths in general now have two mechanics associated with them: Blessings and Trickeries. Blessings are a specific Skill that, in specific circumstances, they achieve an Exceptional Success on three successes instead of the usual five successes. Trickeries are a unique power that represents the specific purpose that kith was built for by their Gentry master.

Helldiver's thing is that they are explorers....

[tasti man LH]

There are only 12 kiths in the corebook: Artist, Bright One, Chatelaine, Gristlegrinder, Helldiver, Hunterheart, Leechfinger, Mirrorskin, Nightsinger, Notary, Playmate, and Snowskin. Helldiver and Notary, I believe, are brand new kiths to CtL period.

More kiths are planned for the upcoming supplement "Kith and Kin", but thus far (as far as I know) it hasn't been revealed which kiths will be in it. Nevermind which 1e kiths, or Underhill kiths will be appearing in them, if at all....

[tasti man LH]

Nope. They just need less successes to get an Exceptional Success on Empathy test to "determine a target's true desires" and they can use other character's Social Merits as if they were their own. And that's it.



An official version of Greys and Oracles in this version of CtL2e currently do not exist, so we have no idea....

[tasti man LH]

Yeah; generally all of the major gameline splats are prohibited from getting any of those Merits. They're only for mortal characters.

[tasti man LH]

Oh heeey new dev blog post regarding Book of Oblivion!

[tasti man LH]

Via their Twitter, nuWW has said that they do plan on continuing WoD20 by adding in more gamelines...but the caveat being that not every one of the remaining gamelines will get a 20th Anniversary edition.

-Kindred of the East, from my understanding, neither OPP or nuWW wants to touch it. That because of the cultural baggage surrounding the original, neither want to engage with it.

(aka from my cynical point of view: "We don't know any Asian writers and/or writers knowledgeable in Asian culture")

-When questioned about Hunter: the Reckoning, apparently...

[tasti man LH]

Yeah, it was confirmed in OPP's panel that *a* Clan write-up will be in the Anarch book.
