Carl also noted that they are aware of interest in a reorganized V5 corebook that incorporates Player's Guide material. I think that would definitely be a smart move. The V5 corebook is visually arresting, but it was at the expense of content (big page margins, so much empty space) and...

Awesome! :) Based on the two interviews with Jason Carl that were posted above, it sounds like they are still searching for a creative director and need to staff up. So my totally-not-in-the-industry take is that any new game line is probably a couple of years out. We’ll get to see what...

We're nerds, friendly quibbling is part of who we are. :-) Paradox bought the World of Darkness IPs in 2015. Onyx Path started working on WW-licensed stuff in 2012, crowdfunding their first V20 book in March 2012. They bought Scion and Trinity at the same time they negotiated their WoD and...

Also - what do people even mean when they talk about bringing back the old White Wolf? The pre-CCP White Wolf published "old" World of Darkness games from 1991 until 2004, and "new" World of Darkness / Chronicles of Darkness from 2004 until CCP closed them down. A lot of people came and went...

People are definitely the key versus brand. That said ... we don't really know how the sausage is being made at Paradox/WOD/Renegade, and any corporate-based creative endeavour has so many rungs in the ladder that are invisible to the end user but can affect the product. So even if the same...

Also, since it comes up a bunch in these discussions: Onyx Path is a separate company, created when CCP shuttered the original White Wolf. They licensed the classic World of Darkness, the new World of Darkness (since re-branded Chronicles of Darkness), and Exalted. They also bought the Scion...

Paradox bought some of the original White Wolf IP from CCP (World of Darkness, "new" World of Darkness, Exalted) and created a new White Wolf to develop VtM 5 and publish it with Modiphius. The release year for VtM 5 had a variety of bad press: The quick start had a character which some folks...

He’s Canadian, so he might just want to leave the US.

Very broadly, there are five categories I've seen: Some of the content in the original Zweihander RPG was rather edgelord like. The subsequent content (Starter Set) has course-corrected on this, but some folks are still suspicious. Fox played a roll in the closing of a popular RPG piracy...

What is “too modern” about Flames of Freedom?

I am the person who has played Phoenix: Dawn Command! Ran one-shots of it at cons 2-3 times. It is brilliant.

This is the final FFG release. When they announced the move to EDGE, they specified that any already-announced products would be completed by FFG.

Any discussion of overdue CoC Kickstarters should mention Ben Patey's disastrous campaign for Masks of Nyarlathotep props. I don't know if it technically counts as overdue anymore since Chaosium terminated his license a while back, but I do know it's one of the few Kickstarters I pledged for...

Kickstarter used to use PayPal back in 2012-13. Direct credit card payments for US/Canada came later.

Morrus: FYI, I believe this Kickstarter wasn't a video game project, but rather the original Cthulhu Wars project, which raised about $1.3 million on Kickstarter in 2013. (It might have been for the subsequent French translation of Cthulhu Wars too.) The only video game KS they've run was for...
