This is a pretty popular video that went up yesterday about a monster I did the original concepting on- Dog Boys in the Legend in the Mist corebook! If I recall correctly, @nnesk.bsky.social did great polishing on them. Looks like @alejandrapinal.bsky.social's artwork. youtu.be/MQnshH5zjys?...

One of my favorite artwork features in Legend in the Mist is these section headings that I think @alejandrapinal.bsky.social created. Has this great illuminated manuscript feel that's also whimsical.

Running the finale of my alternate timeline Vampire chronicle this Sunday. The coterie will be using Temporis to travel back in time to stop Augustus Giovanni from diablerizing Cappadocius, to avert the Gehenna.
End of 2 years of running this timeline, for 2 chronicles!

one of my favourite parts about writing books is: this problem and personal struggle I have and been dealing with? Well, now it's partially your problem too, but ✨metaphorically✨

Learned recently that if you want to feel a hell of a lot more goth, wear a black corderoy jacket around the house. Does wonders.

A great method for any field, but one I've taken to heart in the ttrpg and AP work I do.
Don't wait. Do the magic. Do the work.
Because you'll suffocate waiting for someone to care as much as you do.

Someone was just talking on tv about Mayor of Kingstown and I thought they were talking about Mare of Eastown and I was really confused. These shows really need better names.

Just ran some Vampire: The Masquerade set in 1987. The PCs tracked down a Giovanni drug operation that mixed Gio tombstone dust with cocaine. When users overdosed, they always turned into ghosts and found themselves easily bound into service to the clan.

Just ran a session of my Vampire game that has arrived in 1969, with the PCs on their way to Woodstock in vans full of hippie Fae. One of them dropped acid (through feeding) and had an intense conversation with all three of the vampires she has diablerized.
Tons of fun ahead.

Reading the Magic section of Legend in the Mist. Honestly, I’m falling in love with this magic system. It feels like it should scale beautifully, from intimate, simple spells to world shaking magics.

With lots of Halloween decorations to choose from already, my girlfriend and I were overwhelmed at first. However, we got two matching plush spiders (one black and one white), so we've decided it's the YEAR OF THE SPIDER!
This has greatly aided us in decision making.

Alejandra's artwork is incredible and really forms the foundation for Legend in the Mist. As we write, we're often referring back to her work for inspiration and guidance.
I don't think I can put into words just how wild and amazing it feels to get to see the work of all this time actually be released, and all the kind comments on it.
It's... it's just wild and I feel really grateful that I get to do this for a living.
Thank you all!

We're getting some really great reviews already for Legend in the Mist! Very excited to see what people do with the system.
I'm currently writing two of the adventures that will be in the setting book and I can't wait for people to see those too! Oh and I'm doing lots of the crunchy player options!

Running my weekly Vampire game tonight. The PCs, who were embraced as witches in the 1690's just moved into the 1960's after a long downtime. They're about to go to a Beatles concert in the middle of Beatlemania to negotiate with the local Fae. Gonna be fun (and loud). Lots of screams.

For a while now I've been thinking about writing a holiday themed Die Hard-style one-shot for Vampire: The Maquerade to put up on Storytellers Vault. I can't believe it took me this long to think of the title:
DIE HARDESTADT
I'll try to have it out next year. Now that I have a title, I have to.

My alternate timeline Vampire game with alternate sects moved to the Americas last year, but we focused on Salem, Mass. Now the PCs are starting to branch out and their world is getting bigger. Having some fun with it.

At the end of my most recent V20 V:tM session, one of my players rolled to have their Lasombra assist in a collective use of Obtenebration to summon a demon from the Abyss (in my games, Obtenebration is kinda infernal).
They rolled a septuple botch!
