So what we're going to be doing is supporting everything eventually.
Those things which aren't going to get a GMC update, we'll be working on long-term; they won't be ready by game launch. We'll be starting out with that which has already been published, and as new systems come out we'll be integrating them. Anything that's announced for a release we're not playing at game launch. Many of the things that aren't, we won't be playing immediately just because it's going to take a hell of a lot of time to do (and in at least one case, we're waiting on another game to finish their conversion of something because they have graciously offered to share). The plan is to ultimately support everything, hammered and bent as needed to get them to work with the group. Some things will take more hammering than others. It will all be updated to work with GMC before it ever touches the grid.
We will be building all of the splats into the game world and the story, and keeping the metaplot progressing for them alongside the rest of the game's so that it's mostly seamless when we actually allow them into play.

I keep getting asked what sorts of help we need right now, and really I need two things:
-
People who can write a grid desc based on a couple of sentences about the area. The grid need more love.
-
Brainstorming & Development - there's a lot of topics that need more ideas thrown at them, as well as ideas that need fleshed out.
-
-
I really want to play a character that finds a note like that. Because damn, dude, that's kind of exciting.
-
@Sunny I'd play on the strength of this premise. Very cool. Anticipated opening?
-
We don't have a launch date yet. I won't announce that until I can be reasonably sure that I can be in the ballpark. That said, we're making steady progress. It's looking very pretty so far.
-
The grid notes are complete; anyone who was planning on assisting with those descs, now is the time. Pop in and I'll make sure you're setup to get some descing done.
-
So by 'everything' are you talking things like Immortals and CB and such too?
-
Yep! Changing Breeds is the one another wonderful game is creating the conversion for, and will be sharing with us. I'll be personally converting the Immortals; some of them don't have anyone working on them yet, but we're still going to act storywise and such like we have something, and then when we get it we'll add them. Mummy is, I think, probably the only one that we might not be able to hammer into shape via metaplot to make it play well with others, but we'll see.
Edited to add: I do still need subject matter experts for Demon and Law, though a few more of them for the other areas would be helpful as well. Vampire could use someone besides me; I need to pare my own focus down a little further. For vampire though, whomever does need to be able to work within parameters already developed.
Also, anyone who has ideas for a faction or family they would like to see added from the start, feel free to throw things my way. The sooner I have them, the earlier in the process I can work them into things.
-
Because Sunny hasn't said a hard no yet, I believe we will be including Promethean: the Created as well. 2nd Edition, obviously.
-
We will be including Promethean, yep. We have a couple of options to make them viable, but one way or another the Created will indeed be allowed.
-
@Sunny : I'm always interested in help bounce ideas off and talk topics to flesh things out. If there is still opening/need for people of that sort
-
Yes! Very much so. The address should be above; I will be around in a few hours (once work is done). Feel free to pop in; I'll get you a wiki login tonight.
-
I need someone who has a particular focus / comfort with working with an influence/territory system. We're getting to the point where if we're going to include it, we need to start building it in now.

I don't know what a 'splat' is. I clearly don't belong here or anywhere

lol
A splat is a "type" of character, and interchangeable with 'sphere', in my experience. Werewolf is a splat. Vampire is a splat. Mage is a splat.
-
Now someone needs to explain why.
-
It was the 90's.
-
It's all on page XX
-
Here I thought splatbooks were the subgenre books; factions, guilds, tribes, clans, orders, kiths, etc.
I have a waggish sense of humor.
