    Gen Con Day Two (Uh, Thursday)
    It's 1:35 am local time and I'm sitting in the very worst desk chair ever. So let's just do this.

    The Fifth Game is in fact Changeling. It's due out at Gen Con next year.

    Secret Project Z is an all new modern-day RPG in three parts, not a part of the World of Darkness, called Scion. In the first book of Scion, you play the son or daughter of one of the old gods (Greek, Olympian, etc.), who have returned to the world with new goals and plans. In the second book of Scion, you play a demigod and in book three you play a figure vying for godlike power. Get ready for Scion, because it'll be here in the Spring of 2007.

    Secret Project M is Monte Cook's last big project in the gaming industry, which we'll release at Gen Con next year. We can't tell you anything about it at this stage (except that it's gonna Blow. Your. Mind! Woot!), so for now we'll go on calling in Project M.

    A couple of books are here at the show that almost didn't make it, but will continue to be available at the con in limited quantities: Circle of the Crone (we sold through two cases of that this morning in one hour) and The Great Pendragon Campaign, which arrives tomorrow (I think?) for the first time. Maybe if that book does really stellar in sales we'll follow it up with The Incredibly Awesome Pendragon Campaign and, eventually, The So Very Tight Pendragon Campaign That Gave Your Imagination Material Form as a Winged Knight Who Like Totally Rode Off with Your Dreams and I Think Found the Grail and then Slayed this Dragon that's Really Your Sadness and Left You with Like This Glow of Joy that You Know Will Keep You Warm for the Rest of Your Days, Dude, Limited Edition with Keepsake Bookmark.

    Scion! Nice :)

    Sounds very interesting, Will!
    We wait with baited breath...

    But not for long, as we'd all be dead, and you wouldn't sell a single copy :)

    THANKS FOR THE TEASE!

    Scion sounds awesome! Please don't forget the Norse pantheon. The Viking gods are awesome.

    I'm suddenly salivating to see what the new Changeling looks like.

    I'm awaiting the howls of despair and/or agony with a side of wialing and a starter order of 'gnashing teeth' when certian people's sacred cows are turned into hamburger as grist for the new version.

    I await it with glee because I'm a sick bastard AND wound up dealing with too many flirty-pooka and fish-malks....

    But changeling had Promise. If it follows through and is actually horror, or noir, or BOTH! I will be most pleased. Anything's possible with SCIENCE!

    It's more important than family.

    Changeling.

    My ho my, I know this is just what I needed to convert a 2nd Edition zealot into a nWoDer.

    New Changeling? Well that gives me hope for there being a new Hunter some time down the road.

    Never!

    I think that was the nWoD core.
    theliel From: [info]theliel Date: August 11th, 2006 01:41 pm (UTC) (Link)
    to quote "madman of prauge" and second him, it was called "World of Darkness: Core"

    See I knew there was a reason living in Australia sucked, no Gen Con.

    n the first book of Scion, you play the son or daughter of one of the old gods (Greek, Olympian, etc.), who have returned to the world with new goals and plans. In the second book of Psion, you play a demigod and in book three you play a figure vying for godlike power.

    Even though I love changeling, I'm not sure if I want that more than I want this.

    I want Changeling, and I KNOW I want Scion/Psion more. :)

    Scion sounds awesum, and sounds like it's a perfect way to re-create "Gods and Undergrads"
    WE're sorry project M is still under wraps....c'mon. you can tell us, you're loyal minions of teh interwebs.
    we lufah ju!

    The "Psion" thing - is it possible that this is a typo?
    From: [info]remial Date: August 11th, 2006 03:35 pm (UTC) (Link)

    Scion

    sounds really cool, I was thinking of doing something similar with Mutants and Masterminds. will it be a nWoD game or (hopefully) a seperate entity?

    Re: Scion

    According to an earlier LJ entry, it's not going to be WoD.

    Holy Crap, Scion must be mine.... It looks like it might be perfect for a campaign Idea I have been playing around with for a while.

    Most excellent. Can't wait to see what you've done. *rubs hands gleefully together and wonders how I can pull the wings off the fairies in this NEW game, like I have been in the OLD one *

    Mwa-hahahahaha

    Sounds to me like Scion might be the Exalted Modern we've been craving for years :)
    From: (Anonymous) Date: August 11th, 2006 09:14 pm (UTC) (Link)

    Honestly...

    Psion sounds the best of all...
    Maybe a relaunch of Trinity except in the modern day?
    But...
    How will it affect Second Sight?
    wyrm_chris From: [info]wyrm_chris Date: August 12th, 2006 10:47 am (UTC) (Link)

    Re: Honestly...

    It won't affect Second Sight at all. Because it has been said that it's not a WoD product.
    From: (Anonymous) Date: August 11th, 2006 09:16 pm (UTC) (Link)
    I'm much more curious about future plans for Demon (the Fallen) or even SoE Enlightened Science to be updated to the new game.
