Anyone who believes themselves to be an "incel." And on a related note, people who are unable to take responsibility for their own lives and violently take it out on others.

And if it's not a Kickstarter, there is no way we see it in a month, since they still need to do art. Hell, they probably still have to do art for the kickstarter itself!...

This has got to be on end of the coolest pieces of world building I've read in a while.

Good questions. 200,000 years before present when humans first appeared would focus geologically on roughly from Ethiopia to Tanzania... but I believe that is middle Paleozoic, not upper. Upper Paleozoic I believe would be 50000 BP to 10000 BP (or about 7000 BCE)....

See the turtle of enormous girth!
On his shell he holds the earth/
His thoughts are slow but always kind/
He holds all of us within his mind....

Turtle's bane is clearly the breaking of the beams. Ka demands it....

Which is interesting, because scientific and anthropological evidence seems to suggest that about the only advantage Sapiens had over Neanderthals was their ability to organize and work in large groups. Sapiens can imagine collectives and work towards collective goals in ways that the other great apes can't, which is why we are the only species that has ever organized into massive collectives without being eusocial and having a biological caste system like ants, termites, or bees....

Also (since no one has brought it up) remember that Demon also got added to this era.

Funny thing is that I always thought of Changeling as being one of the bleakest games. I get the lens through which it can be hopeful, though.

It may just be me, but I have long felt that CofD is a pretty hopeful series of games. Not that aweful things don't happen, but people endure and survive. They carve out their niches. They build their families. Chronicles is in many ways much more down to earth than your classics sword and sorcery RPG, so it's protagonists reflect the ways that real people deal with terrible shit without losing hope.

Maybe that's because I'm a...

Wyrd, do you realize that's copyright infringement? CofD isn't like Pathfinder or D&D, which have a legal mechanic in the SRD to allow websites to duplicate mechanical information for easy access. Posting the mechanics of Atavisms from BPG on a third-party website is straight up illegal....

You've started six different threads in the last 48 hours in the Beast forums alone. Two of them are about Primordial cults. It becomes difficult (and not a bit annoying) to find threads if one person starts spamming topics. That's why the simple questions threads exist. If you aren't going to use it, please at least make one thread for all your questions instead of asking question in a different thread....

This probably could go in the Ask a Simple Question thread Wyrd.

They may be in the profession, but they aren't doctors if they've done that. They broke their oath. Assholes....

Gah, that's true. I got fixated on the corruption summery, not on the actual description....

I’m not sure the Cuban Middle Crisis has enough corruption. We did nearly wipe ourselves out, but that was more due to brinksmanship...

I feel like a broken record everytime you post something Chris. This is awesome!

How when you decide to murder the passive voice in your drafts, suddenly you end up with some extra words to use before you hit your word count limit....

It should have been emailed out to everyone who got the pre-errata pdf.

Edit: Huh, that's weird. There used to be one link for premium and one for standard in the discount emails....

Linky. I need more literal room in my house for books first (tis tiny) but this one is definitely going on the list of hard copies to get somewhere down the road. ...

I talk about CofD on my Tumblr from time to time, but I haven't posted much (yet) for Reqiem.
