The Roanoke bit from Dark Ages Companion is in an upcoming stretch goal. What can people tell me about it? I have a player who loves history, especially local history, and we're based in the DC area. I think this might be a great hook for him into Geist.

I think you just pull a Thulsa Doom, turn into a giant snake, unhinge your jaw, swallow all the cakes, then hibernate as your body slowly digests them all.

Yeah, it's a blend of the comfort of something you know plus the ease of having a shorthand among players....

Why World of Darkness? Most of my players played it back in the day. So we have an instant understanding what I mean when I reference something in the metaplot. I don't have to explain how things work in the world because they are already familiar with that. I only have to tell them what I've changed. So, I like the familiarity of it. We'll get there in CoD, but it'll take years to get to the point we are with WoD.

Amen. A. Men....

I think that's only the case if you use a list of pre-generated and/or randomly rolled Compulsions. If the ST and players work together to quickly come up with a fun, interesting, and appropriate Compulsion at the table, I think they would be really cool....

You can get a beat by choosing to convert a regular Failure into a Dramatic Failure.

Edit: But I guess it'll usually be STs rolling these, right? Never mind, then....

During the kickstarter with the first set of rules presented, I put together an illithid concept. It hinged a lot on the You Are Meat nightmare, which I don't think made it into the book.

Finally, a finished look at the Storypath system. I was a weird backer and never actually read the previews.

Fragments mentions the Beast on page 55.

I usually just ask the players why they are together. I figure there are one of me and many of them. They should come up with a better idea than I can.

You can also pledge to the KS, read the manuscript preview as it's being released, and then decide before the end of the campaign if you want the book....

I want a certificate certifying my corebook is haunted.

Blood 1 gives you more information than just generation. I've found the diablerie and clan information the most useful in games.

Blood 2 is more than just a social debuff. It can be used to help your friends as well. Since the expenditures it forces can bypass generational limits, you can help your friends heal faster or buff faster. It's also a way to waste an enemy's blood if you don't have 4 or 5 dots.

Blood 3 is also a social buff. It protects you from others' Dominate and makes yours more useful. In addition, if you have Blood 4, you can use enemies as your warehouse...

I'm 3 chapters in, and really digging it. I don't know about other places, but it was nice to see a lot of places I know from DC being used, including the Alexandria Hard Times Cafe.

I'm a big fan of Blood since it has so many different uses....
