Holy smokes, were does the time go?

What's happening around here? Well, Mage is in layout. Boston Unveiled went to the editor. Bill's outlining a book and working on Sanctum & Sigil. I wish some mages would fix my car, but they told me they can't. Something to do with the insurance.

Speaking of busted up cars, Ethan's putting the finishing touches on Blood of the Wolf. After that, he moves over to the Werewolf section of Chicago. Geographically, I mean. He's moving to the neighborhood of Chicago that has werewolves in it. Yes.

Will's concluding work on VII and then attacks the Mage portion of Chicago.

Me, I'm on Armory still. That and a secret project.

Exalted? Certainly! Bastions of the North goes off to editing and then comes... another secret project. A different secret project than the secret project I'm working on. We're just full of secrets over here. Well, we're full of something, and it makes me feel better about myself to say it's secrets.

Big Mind's Eye Theatre news coming soon! Within days! I just don't want to trump it here. Watch the White Wolf site, dang ya.

Chris and his wife just had their second child. Dean and Laura are on the brink of their first. Fred's probably pregnant. Again.

Here is a picture of shark-me attacking Pirate Becky. That's exactly the kind of bullshit that goes on around here. Walk the plank.

Not enough places encourage shark-themed hats these days, but the ones that do probably welcome pirates.

Sanctum & Sigil? What is this?

"Exalted? Certainly! Bastions of the North goes off to editing and then comes... another secret project."

Hm... this big secret Exalted project keeps getting mentioned. I'm looking forword to it not being so secret (just as big mind you, but less on the secret-ness) ;)

See my reply to the main post, below.

The governor of your base, White Wolf, has requested permission to begin a Secret Project, (unknown).

-> Allow, and allow all Secret Projects in the future.
No, not this time.
Do not attempt Secret Projects in the future.

Was that from Alpha Centauri?

There are those of us who actually like your updates Justin. Thanks for the info. Good stuff.

Your Exalted secret project is not so secret, as in your latest Quarterly it lists "Exalted 2nd Edition T-Shirts".

Didn't know if you knew or not.

I am not sure about Second Edition given the following response in the last Exalted chat. The speculation is that the "2nd Ed" t-shirts are just referring to new versions of t-shirts for Exalted:

rules_law_student: Will Exalted be revised, and what do anticipate will be the extent of Exalted Revised?

geoffrey c grabowski: It will be revised some day, that is for sure. I anticipate the extent will be moderate. Nothing formal about the rules will be changed, but there might be significant revisions to the elements of that structure. There will be Trees and Charms and most of them will have the same names and relationships. But the mechanics and specifics will be up for flux. Likewise, many elements of the combat system will probably be retained, like the order of modifier operations, but various specific steps of the combat event may see alteration.

In terms of timeframe, I would anticipate it will be someday. Not incredibly soon, not when you are a little old gamer in a wheelchair.

Actually, it is Exalted 2nd ed. At least acording to Phil, at NEGLECt this weekend. Unless I missheard him. It was early, after all...

Actually, I'm finishing up Invictus, and then I'm starting on the Mage portion of Chicago.

I bold most of my nouns.
