Also, why I have no idea the production timeline for these things, some of these are obviously referencing 1e and not 2e.

For instance, while Geist 2e was released months before the s2 Geist audio plays were released, it still mostly sticks with 1e canon. So it would be likely that these episodes were made long before the Geist 2e KS draft dropped.

Although, the jury is out on Changeling s2 will be referencing the updated material from 2e.

Well because CofD doesn't have a fixed metaplot timeline the same way as WoD, that rule *might* not apply to CofD. Of course, we won't know for sure until the ST Vault for CofD is formally announced.



Considering the examples they used are cities from other pre-existing, non-WW works, I believe the concern is not infringing on copyright from other works....

...kinda surprised that no one has mentioned this here, but yeah.

Uncle Yo, famed geek comedian, is actually a huge fan of Chronicles of Darkness. So much so that, a few years ago, he apparently held a panel where he would try to summarize, and pitch, all of the CofD gamelines in 10 minutes to each. Playlist here.

(and apparently he did discuss Mummy, Demon, and Beast, but the camera's battery died so no footage)

But from there he and other voice actors and the like collaborated together to make audio drama podcasts for each gameline. In seasone 1 he did:...

The ST Vault does cover this. Here's what they got on content guidelines (obviously nothing on CofD stuff specifically yet).

As for approval processes...

The announcement and tweets from Tobias referenced something about (and I'm paraphrasing) "disagreements with future developments of the company".

So if we take that at its word, probably has nothing to do with the controversies directly associated with V5 and its corebook. Simply just on how the company will proceed from there.

(and speaking of which, last I checked, there hasn't been any notable updates on Camarilla V5 and Anarchs V5, right? no narrowed release window apart from "Fall 2018"?)...

Yeah, even if the blue book splats won't initially be readily available, I'm sure somewhere down the line they will be. As will the rest of the CofD lines.

So the Jumpstart was actually in post-editing development last week, but this week it seems to have sped along and is now in Art Direction.

I believe it's a similar situation to what happened to M20:

Book was getting too long, and something had to be cut, thus Merits and Flaws were chosen. The devs have promised that they'll get added back in with a later Wr20 supplement....

[tasti man LH]

Book's now being...eh..."prepped" to be sent off for approvals to nuWW....

[tasti man LH]

No guarantees.

If nuWW finds no issues and our very quick to go through with it, sure. Advanced PDF might be out by next Wednesday. But that's a big if. Not much we can do aside from keep an eye on the MMNs....

[tasti man LH]

Aside from "October 2018"? Nope....

[tasti man LH]

Guide to the Night is off to nuWW for approvals!

[tasti man LH]

Now the last update said that the files were being uploaded to printers meaning that it's coming sooner rather then later...

...but if I recall, they still need to send a physical proof to the devs so they can look it over, check for errors, make any corrections needed, and THEN approve them for release on DRPG, right?

[tasti man LH]

Welp. That settles that then...

[tasti man LH]

Oh yeah, as for Changeling...

At least going by the Walking Away from Arcadia podcast's, the hosts apparently caught the ear of a nuWW dev (I think it was Ericcson) saying that the upcoming blockbuster LARP "Atlantic City Dreams" they were going to use to test and gauge interest in Changeling (I don't think if it was made clear if it was in terms of creative direction or just "are there enough Changeling fans to make this a thing"), and that in the dev's eyes, changelings are "the outsiders of WoD"...

[tasti man LH]

Probably because there's no WoD20 book for it in existence. And with the jury being out on if there will ever be one....

[tasti man LH]

Oh so are you saying that you haven't even found the house yet and thus no address to update with on BackerKit?

[tasti man LH]

The dates listed on the KS are just estimations and nothing more. They could come a little bit earlier or a bit later. Not much you can do aside from keep an eye on the MMNs.

As for shipping addresses, I believe the way you change them is through BackerKit. Scanning through all the updates, I don't think they've been locked down yet. Unless if I missed something, you should be ok to change your shipping address.

[tasti man LH]

I guess the Dreaming is putting out the call to find the next High Queen.

New dev blog for BoO. Now this is going into more details on Soul-Forging.
