The Chronicles of Heavenly Artifice LIII – Dun Shunkaha

Back in Aden, Charles was surveying things a bit… Sure, he could sense at things in there, but – at least until he was entirely used to it – he preferred to look at things with his own eyes. There were quite a few manses that he’d made while he was very sleepy, and experiments [...]

Bruce Damien “I Am Not the Prince of Darkness!” De La Vega

   Here we have a curious character from Editorial-0, who was recently digging through some of his old books and ran across Werewolf the Apocalypse… Given his fondness for misfit characters, it is no surprise that this particular character probably won’t be able to fit in anywhere at all.    Bruce Damien I.A.N.T.P.O.D. De La [...]

Latest Material Index

   It’s once again time to get the latest material index updated and to transfer the material from the old one to the main index tabs at the top of the page. If you want the very latest material, it may be necessary to either scroll down or consult the “Recent Posts” listing-widget on the [...]

Awakened and Mages (not necessarily) Monte’s Way

   There are still a couple of options left in Monte Cooks d20 version of the White Wolf – so as to finish up with that request, here are the last two conversions to Eclipse d20; the Awakened and the Magi. In this case, the Awakened are easy enough – but the original White Wolf-style [...]

World of Darkness – Upper Umbral Gifts

   These gifts are from Egyptian God-Spirits of the upper umbra or high astral, rather than nature spirits of the middle umbra or astral plane that most garou deal with. As such, they’re tied to the intellect, rather then to emotion and instinct. They must be consciously channeled and controlled. High umbral gifts require a [...]

World of Darkness – Sunheart

   Here we have an unusual locus for the New World of Darkness – along with the rites used to create it.    In the World of Darkness, Maurice Bernard Sendak is – like so many figures – somewhat different. He’s still an imaginative writer and illustrator of children’s books, but he’s also a closet [...]

World of Darkness – Rites

   Here we have an assortment of Rites for Werewolf the Forsaken – or at least for some version of the World of Darkness. In this case they’re from the collection of Maximilian Sendak, a Garou who’d been raised by non-garou – and used some very eccentric rites and gifts indeed, most of them with [...]

Exalted: Sergeant Jack Rackham

   Here we have a Dualistic Exalted character for White Wolf’s Exalted game system – in this case, an earthly interloper in creation (or in whatever other universe the group had gotten into this week). Sergeant Jack Rackham    Jack grew up wanting to be in the military. He wasn’t “officer material” – but, unlike [...]

Vampire: Mc’Andrew’s Notebooks I

  Mc’Andrew was a scientist-vampire, a dabbler in the occult, and scattered theories and research projects around like rice at a wedding. Today it’s a segment from one of his personal notebooks – an examination of Garou Genetics, it’s relationship to Metis deformities, possible methods of correcting those deformities, and on how regeneration works in the World of [...]

Bloodsucking Thaumaturgy

   Here’s another file from awhile (quite a few years actually) back – in this case a collection of exotic Thaumaturgic Paths for Vampire: The Masquerade. Per the request at the time, these were set up for the live-action variant of the rules, but that really shouldn’t be difficult to convert; they generally all go [...]

Latest Material Index

   Updated March 04    It is once again time for a new Latest Material index, and for updating the main index tabs. As usual, you should be able to find most of the stuff that hasn’t made it into the main index tabs here. For the very latest material, you may have to just [...]

Slightly Cracked: Mild Madnesses for RPG’s

   Sometimes characters go a little crazy. Unfortunately, quite a few people take this as either a license to go completely overboard or as a demand that they do so. In most cases, what’s really wanted is a really weird quirk – strange enough to be exotic, irrational enough to be troublesome, and mild enough [...]

Deadlands-Exalted Bestiary

   When the Dualistic Exalted were out wandering around the universe, one of the places they visited was the world of Deadlands – in particular, the futuristic version or Wasted West (rather than the classical Weird West). Naturally enough, that called for converting some monsters.    If you want detailed descriptions, backgrounds, pictures, and so [...]

The Dimensional Auditors

   The Dualistic Exalted characters never encountered the Dimensional Auditors directly – and speculated about just what they were up to (attempting to stabilize the various dimensions, preventing dimensional travel, attempting to monopolize dimensional travel, involved in some cosmic war, etc, etc, etc) – but the results were fairly obvious: get mildly disruptive and you [...]

Onwards with the White Wolf

   Well, the first items for today are Zareth Eleris – a sample Dualistic Exalted – and the note that I’ve updated the White Wolf page with a link to the World of Darkness Point Buy Character Creation Rules, so that you don’t have to either rummage in the old posts or the download box [...]

World of Darkness Material

   The World of Darkness (First and Second Edition) timeline page is up, and the Exalted Artifact Creation .PDF is now available in the download box. The Champions game is scheduled for Saturday evening, at the University of Tennessee Library as usual. Expected characters are currently Castellon, Ranko, the White Necromancer, the Hauntsman, and the [...]

White Wolf

   I’ve put up the World of Darkness point-buy Character Creation rules in the download box. I’m going to be adding a series of subpages for the World of Darkness and Exalted material: there’s quite a bit of it. So much material, so little time.
