I am slightly overwhelmed with ten nominations for Pelgrane, that and our fiction Kickstarter hit target in five days. It's been quite a week! Congratulations to all nominees, and look forward to seeing you at the ceremony.

How are you and your players balancing Preparedness with pre-planning?

I'm enjoying this, and would love to hear an actual play recording. I too would like a vampire creation sheet!

I've wanted to work with Rob Heinsoo for a long time; and we discussed possibilities at GenCon 2010. Rob and Jonathan game together and are both part of Fire Opal Media, so having both of them work on a project is a real treat. Rob ran a game for us at GenCon 2011, and on that basis we decided...

What I've found happens in a longer term game is that characters are very careful with their points until the action kicks off, then they splurge. Usually they are in deep trouble at that point, and then it's a race to safety - usually a safe house and a cache, using Preparedness - so that they...

Great - I look forward to it. I've been running the game myself and I found that they loved, loved safe houses and caches, usually combining them. We decided lip reading was a language slot and that the game needs a refresh summary sheet. They also decided that their safe meeting point, by...

This sounds very exciting - did the system support the combat? Did they use the thriller combat rules such as jumping in? [13-point Network spend] Is this a typo?

Network is the player-facing glue which attaches PCs to the setting. I've just worked out how useful cover is, too. It was a failed cover roll which led to the players first unpleasant encounter with a Type II. I asked Ken about it before they'd really used it:

This is great- thank you! Have youi players been taking advantage of tactical fact finding benefits, tag team benefits, Cover and Network? Are they getting their extra pools for creating their org charts?

Any system/player stuff in brackets or footnotes read gratefully.

I'm watching this with interest. I've run four sessions so far, and they've just met a proper vamp.

Thanks for the interest, guys. In response: I could tell you, but then wouldn't that violate your game premise? You need have no concern about us going out of business. I am not taking any risks- my sales projections are very modest. I'm hoping the intial release game will be sufficiently...

The free availability of data is a reward for filling in the survey - but please do fill in the survey before looking at the data. We are creeping up to 500 responses, which is way more than I expected. The game will be a different take on the mythos, and isn't intended to replace CoC.
