Been a While

Werewolf: The Apocalypse

I’m not dead, just busy.

If you’re paying attention to the Monday Meeting notes – and if not, why not? – you’ll be aware of a few things that we’ve got going on. First, we’re giving W20 backers a copy of Rage Across the World.

We first mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, but we’ve hit a slight snag – we didn’t have enough text. Fortunately, the devastatingly handsome David Hill jumped in at the last minute to provide an extra chapter to round out the book; I’m editing that and will get it in to layout as soon as possible. From there, it’s hopefully a short step through CCP approval and the book’s release. I hope.

Speaking of getting things to layout, both the W20 Cookbook and Book of the Wyrm edits are done and approved and with layout. Which is nice. I’ve also got all of the edits and corrections that are going in to Changing Breeds marked up and over to layout; these are the last changes (I hope) before the PDF goes out and the files go to the printers.

I’m lagging behind a little with the White Howlers Tribebook redlines – I’ve been at a long-ass conference, but that’s in my sights. I’ll be throwing bits out for open development to see what people think as I get through them. I’m also spinning up to outline Umbra with our consulting developers, which is going to be interesting – I don’t want the book to repeat what’s in W20 so we’ll be going into more detail and more new information than before!

Actually, there’s a thought. I don’t want to re-use Umbra as a title again – it’s been in the name of two books now. What do you think? What’s a good name? We could go with the literal meaning – Shadow of the Moon – but that sounds like it might be a better Forsaken book. Get your creativity on in the comments below!
