Judd,

I want to meet that dude that gets confused so I can appologize for the behavior of Luke and Droz.

SNAP!

Everything about the game, from the mechanics, to the artwork, to the layout just screams creepy, creepy, creepy at me. I love it.

I would like to appologize then for the behavior of Droz and Luke.  Don't worry, they will get theirs.

The terminal velocity rules will be included in the Conspiracy of Delta Green by way of the X-Files Companion.  Said book will be out at GenCon.  My appologies for forgeting such an important aspect of the game.  I also plan on including lifepaths and a Grief Mechanic in said book.

I'm shocked, Mr Senkowsky, shocked. You've handily illustrated one of the greatest drawbacks of the entire so-called "indie-rpg" movement: All of these games are the same -- they are born of the same incestuous design process as illustrated on this very site. Borrowing wholsesale from Burning Wheel is at once utterly predictable and wholly unnecessary, but it does fit the type of so-called innovation found here.

Yes, you've only affirmed my belief. I won't be purchasing the new edition of Revised Convocation of Shadows. Nor will I be purchasing anything from Luke Crane or Radek Drozdalski if this is the type of incestuous relationship your companies have.

When does the new Conspiracy Burner come out? Or had you not announced that one yet?

The Conspiracy Burner will be done once I figure out how to stretch it into two books, one for creating the conspiracy and one for the rules on using them...

If you need an editor for your game, The Conspiracy of Wheels Fantasy Roleplaying System, just let me know...

Dear Mr. Senkowski (at this point you can clearly see, that i've checked your last name with my polish dictionary, and spelled it correctly, unlike some other people posting in this thread)

But back to the matter, are you planning on releasing said suppelement in PDF format or rather as a printed one? But this point I have to say that I'm very curious about Your approach on the matter of velocity rules.

As one of the privileged playtesters of said rules, I can attest they're very innovative. Each round of falling is divided into three phases. Before the round, each player secretly checks off whether he will Scream, Flail, or Fall (do nothing.) Then, all physics are resolved simultaneously. It really captures the chaos of falling like no other RPG before. It's a brilliant mechanic, and one I am assured is wholely original.

I haven't read this rule, and certainly haven't played it, but I plan to villify you in all the forums I can. Clearly, if someone were stupid enough to use this rule, they'd be falling "blind." That's incredibly unrealistic, and frankly I'm shocked that even dimwits like you could write such a broken rule.

Dear Sir,

I am planning on releasing said supplement as an html document to appease Mike Holmes, since he likes them so much better than PDFs.

It should be noted that the velocity rules take into account terminal velocity.  Also, the choice to fall is directly proportionate to an individuals grief rating, which subtracts from any hesitation brought on by a Steel test when choosing to leap into the air...

What is this? Some kind of Asian supplement for the Conspiracy of Yesterday's Shadow? Because that's what we need: another poorly-done "like Japan, but different" game by some white guy from Chicago.

I am in the middle of negotiations with Thor for editing the monstrous tome (1,234 pages split into two books).  I am also negotiating with Luke's Crane's posse so I can get flame war presence on RPG.net.
