At great personal risk, Chigg has smuggled out a recording of this year's "What's Up With Onyx Path's Handling of The White Wolf Intellectual Properties." 

Jests aside, special thanks to Onyx Path for allowing us to record this panel, which contains concise imformation on Onyx Path's current plans for World of Darkness, Chronicles of Darkness, and Exalted! In particular we get some juicy details on Hunter: the Vigil 2nd Edition, the future of Vampire: the Masquerade sourcebooks, and the upcoming Contagion Chronicle crossover book.

And yes, there are actually trains running above the panel's conference room...

  

Mike, Chris, Chigg, and Matt play The Last Night, the pre-alpha playtest adventure for Vampire: the Masquerade 5th Edition (V5), and give some of their insight into the mechanics and adventure afterwards.

  

Mike, Chris, and Chigg explore one of the most hotly demanded updates ever - Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition. According to Chigg, it's the best Changeling book ever. Following that, Mike introduces Canuck the Crow in the secret frequency, and Chris reviews Secrets of the Covenants for Vampire: the Requiem.

  

Chris sits down with Onyx Path Publishing writer and developer, Dave Brookshaw, as they take a breather from walking about UK Games Expo and chat all about Chronicles of Darkness, Mage the Awakening, and we also get exciting information about Deviant the Renegades.

  

Chris has been hard at work, piecing together the narrative of World of Darkness: Berlin's Enlightenment in Blood LARP through a series of interviews. First, we discover the machinations of Brendon's Tremere rebels. Then, we get's the full story of Integral Solutions Inc. through Tim's Glass Walker Theurge. And then finally, we unveil the true source of that evening's chaos - Ian and his Redcap buddies. It's a compeling tale and our final World of Darkness Berlin coverage. Enjoy!

  

Chris and James chat to Chris from Modiphius about horror rpgs "Tales from the Loop", "Coriolis", and "Cold and Dark". Plus we chat a bit about their "Star Trek" rpg, and their "Fallout" miniatures game.
