Message: <blockquote data-quote="Matt-M-McElroy" data-source="post: 6256888" data-attributes="member: 35229">Seems to be a little confusion in the thread...that can happen when companies change to new publishing models and other companies come in and take over product lines I suppose. Hopefully I can help out a little bit with some information. For the latest news and updates folks can follow the <a href="http://theonyxpath.com/" target="_blank">Onyx Path Publishing</a> website. You can check out the <a href="http://theonyxpath.com/schedule/" target="_blank">publication schedule</a> for a look at what is planned for this year.OPP is supporting both Classic and New World of Darkness, plus Exalted (all three of which are under license from CCP). They also acquired outright the Scion and Trinity IPs, both of which are getting new editions later this year. They will also be publishing some creator-owned games like Cavaliers of Mars down the road.For folks wanting Print books you can always check the <a href="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/browse.php?affiliate_id=22713&src=MMMENWorld?filters=0_0_0_44294_0&manufacturers_id=1" target="_blank">Print Selection of White Wolf</a> titles at DTRPG.Both classic books being reformatted for PoD and new titles like the above mentioned Blood & Smoke. Onyx Path also does Kickstarters each quarter to fund the creation of Deluxe Limited Edition books, again for both WoDs and Exalted 3rd Edition. Recent KS include <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/demon-the-descent-prestige-edition" target="_blank">Demon: the Descent</a>, a new World of Darkness game tied to the God Machine concept introduced in the World of Darkness core book and the currently running <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/deluxe-anarchs-unbound" target="_blank">Anarchs Unbound</a>, a brand new supplement for Vampire: the Masquerade.Currently OPP usually releases a PDF of a new title first, gives fans and the game's developer a chance to look over the file and give feedback on the layout and to catch any errors that might have been missed or cropped up during the layout/design process (missing sidebars, headers, etc) and then once any fixes are made, the print version gets uploaded and proofed before finally going live for sale on DrivehruRPG. Everyone who buys the PDF early gets a discount on the Print version to match the PDF+Print combo price (meaning after all versions are for sale there are options for customers to buy just the PDF, just the PoD, or a combo pack of PDF+Print, the discount is set up to match that combo price so early PDF customers are not penalized for being early adopters). You can read more about that process <a href="http://theonyxpath.com/how-does-this-pdfpod-combo-deal-work-anyway/" target="_blank">here</a> if you like.Onyx Path is also beta-testing a new Retailer program where approved stores can order Print on Demand books direct from DTRPG. There are also Retailer tiers on every Kickstarter for stores looking to carry the Deluxe and Limited Edition titles.For folks interesting in the Live Action games, a different new company, By Night Studios, has recently acquired the license for MET and published a new comprehensive Vampire LARP core book, <a href="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/123666?affiliate_id=22713&src=MMMENWorld" target="_blank">Mind's Eye Theatre: Vampire the Masquerade</a>. The PDF is available now and Print versions are on the way. They also have a new Storyteller book and a historical setting guide in development.I know that is a lot of links and some of it was already covered a bit in the thread, but I hope that answers a few questions and provides sources for more info.Regards,Matt</blockquote>
