DBITNW

UPDATE 1/4/16:

DESIGN INSIGHT

While BITN shares the world of other Chronicles of Darkness games, and the protagonist creatures from those lines, they are not to be featured on BITN. We will have Vampires and Werewolves, Witches and Patchwork People. We will not focus on Kindred, Uratha, Awakened or Prometheans. More generic threats, such as spirits, ghosts, claimed, these are more likely. Also unique or lesser horrors. Dead corpses that feed on blood can be used, these may be biological experiments, corpses possessed by a leech spirit, or even just unexplained phenmena that would be alien to a Kindred just like a mortal. Wizards and witches have cults and cast spells, etc. Even the rare Angel of the God-Machine may appear. But we will not be using setting material from other gamelines in any significant factor. No Covenants, there is no need to design a Consollium or Praxis or Protectorate.

This game is not about the monsters. It is about those who will no longer accept their rule. This policy further allows players to be surprised by the monsters, as well as limiting the number of books one needs access too.

PROGRESS

I am currently estimating a Spring Opening, but this is not a release date just a general estimate. Setting and such should be done by February, then a host can actually be set up.

If anyone is looking to assist with research into a particular part of our setting, I do have 2 counties currently being ignored by my crack team.

I do the same sometimes, but the sticky note application is way safer for this.

This peeve is not as serious as racism or abuse, but: When law enforcement professionals refer to marijuana as a narcotic.

I'm a very casual gamer and I enjoy it very much. Now I have hit spots where I died a lot and went IM TAKING MY DOG AND GOING HOME TO GET MY POWER ARMOR AND YOULL BE SORRY!!! So that has happened. Only once though. And I've killed 4 legendary things and I'm only level 14!

I just need more copper damnit.

Once you get rich, you can buy shipments of 25 copper from at least two weapon vendors. Helps when playing electrician.

Filthy casuals, amirite?

Fallout 4 is my favorite game of 2015, and probably 2014 and 2016. Maybe I am just a junkie, but I love it. It is not perfect, and it is not the best game I have ever played.

But it is deep. It is pretty. It has fun mechanics, and an awesome world. Do I sometimes miss my old timey 3/4 view isometric Fallout CRPGs of yore where I could murder kids and be a pitfighting pornstar grave robber? Of course I do, especially when visiting Little Lamplight in FO3.

And yeah, there are lots of small issues here and there, but I have spent over a week of my life exploring and playing this game. I am on my 3rd playthrough and have yet to be to many places.

tl;dr I like it!

Ever since seeing Episode VII, been on a bit of a Star Wars kick. Rematch ed the 2003 Clone Wars animation, still the dopest shit. I couldn't get in to the CGI Clone Wars show. But Star Wars Rebels has been amazing thus far. And an awesome cast with even reprisals from Billy Dee Williams and James Earl freaking Jones.

@Jennkryst - Damn near anything. MU, OTT, Skype, Play by smoke signal, etc.

Every time i see this topic, I lament that there is not a Shadowrun game I can join.

I would be interested in this simply because I live in Southern Maryland

Cool! We are doing PG, AA, Charles, Calvert and St. Mary's counties.

Ok. I have a half dozen-ish Google Docs set up for consultants and staff. I have a plan. I have a @Cobaltasaurus.

Looks like I am actually doing this, guys.

No one has ever needed Ohio.

Which is a really great idea - the dozen towns, I mean. Especially for a mortals, horror-oriented game. You don't have to fight against the "why is every horrible thing in the world happening in this ONE PLACE" thing, and it lets you really sell the corrupted nature of the WoD as a widespread thing.

Pick Ohio. Large population; several cities within driving distance. Countless rural communities and towns. Hinterland (Appalachia) in the southeast; Lake Erie to the north.

No. If I was asking for setting suggestions I would have said as much! :neckbeard:

Maryland holds a nebulous position, geographically. If you go with a triple region, it is Mid-Atlantic. If you go by the traditional Mason-Dixon line, it is southern. And if you go by civil war alignment, then yes, we were with the Union. Because we surround the other side of DC and they set up so much artillery aimed at Baltimore we have a place called Federal Hill.

@Rainbow-Unicorn - At this point, we will be allowing the Supernatural Merits in Chronicles of Darkness 2nd Edition, likely allowing others in future supplements.

How exciting and fresh for a setting! Small-town game set in the Northeast? Instant classic.

Other than including over a dozen towns and being in the south, you mean.

Proposed HR - if you do something that would make me slap you at my table IRL, you get a temp ban. If you do something that would make me punch you in the face, you get a permanent vacation.

I do not know if I will be able to push this one through the Galactic Senate.

If your character is a bookish librarian with a theoretical knowledge of demons, maybe if you kick a were-motorcycle in the gas tank you will get mauled to death.
