Tim Franzke, Would you have time in the next few weeks to review the Slasher add-on. I would like to tweak out some of the +1’s (there aren’t many), but I think John Layton and I are stumped and hoping for a second opinion.

John Layton , How many moves from the add-on give people the ability to go outside of the questions when doing Study-somone? I ask because i think I heard that Thursday and that is an Advanced move for Study someone and I am wondering if as things have altered for US if things have doubled up. I would like to fix those, just need to pinpoint first if we do have an issue.

Had to make a slight variation to spell hold for wizards when using the Mage Add-on as giving people 3 spell hold for a 7-9 was just too powerful.

3 crazy power spells for not enough penalty was far too abusable. 

I posted Forbode here to help balance it out:

John Layton  and Anton Dominic, which opinion and suggestion do you like?

I really want to get Slasher to the next round, so I can get it proofread by outsiders.

John Layton, can we go through and add trigger statements to all the moves. It is the one thing they are missing.

“When X happens, roll+Y” or “When you do X, you gain Z bonus”

A lot of the moves are missing that clear, you have to do this fiction statement to get the ability to trigger the move. I understand we get it, but let’s spell it out for others.

Anton Dominic, can you help trim that last set of descriptions as you did with the first set?

Well, we are getting closer to a finished product for 4 of my WoD Add-on books for Urban Shadows (Apocalypse World hack) and I wanted to give them out to the public to for that last round of feedback. Here is what we are working on:

• Vampire the Masquerade (proofed, play tested, PDFed, just needs a final round of proofing)

o Download: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9Hhx1yXlz-OWWhqM1FkN1VWbVE/edit?usp=sharing

• Werewolf the Forsaken (proofed, play tested, PDFed, just needs a final round of proofing)

o Download: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9Hhx1yXlz-OdEJuTVNBcXZ5SWM/edit?usp=sharing

• Mage the Awakening (proofed, play tested, PDFed, just needs a final round of proofing)

o Download: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9Hhx1yXlz-Oc19fNzUxVl9OZXc/edit?usp=sharing

• Hunter the Vigil (proofed, play tested, PDFed, just needs a final round of proofing)

o Download: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9Hhx1yXlz-ONUp5RHNhR3N4ZFk/edit?usp=sharing

• Orpheus (based on Spectre) (proofed, play tested)

• Slasher (First round of proofing almost down)

• Demon the Fallen (Being worked on)

• Changeling the Lost (Being worked on)

Enjoy the PDF’s and I would love to hear your feedback, which you can leave or comment on the working document here, that we keep all of the documents on.

Well, Hunter is done and has gone through it’s first review.

If available, I was hoping Andrew Medeiros, Tim Franzke, Aaron Friesen, and/or Bryan Hitchcock could have a quick glance over or tear it apart. We accept any feedback. As mentioned before, the feedback given so far has been beyond helpful in making this a better “product.” Werewolf would be lost without it. Also, I hope none of you mind, that I keep tagging you on these revision request. I only do so, as again because of the feedback given so far.

Slasher has been added after Orpheus from John Layton. It look so brutal, going to be fun for those evil games. I think he will be looking into a way to add Demon the Fallen, while I will be adding Changeling.

In doing so, like all things it will delay the end of the product, but we will by the end of this have 8 add-ons to Andrew Medeiros’s book. Plus, I know Andrew Medeiros has a few more surprises for us that I can add. At that point, I will still have to get a book printed through and sent off to those that have helped greatly.

The first draft for the document has been finished.

I need to finish reviewing Hunter and Orpheus, and will take whatever help and feedback you are willing to give.

I will be starting playtest again next Thursday for those interested.

I am sticking with the old damage style that Andrew Medeiros has recently changed.

Once this is done, I will be getting 6×9 books printed through Lulu and sending to all parties that helped (as cash becomes available.)

Big thanks to Aaron Friesen and Tim Franzke for helping keep John Layton and I on course with this book.

Also, been playing teh Vampire portion of this the last two weeks with   Chris Riexax, John Layton, Jen Stevens, Lasse Wassmann, and Anton Dominic and so far so good. Not much fighting as of yet, but lots of backstabbing.
