Love Golden Dawne. Loved the wampyr. This game continues to hold my interest.

How did the Hermetics get involved in street magic? Just curious.
Proudly having no idea what he's doing since 1970!

"Hermetics" is a nickname for the 3XStars, slingers who (loosely) follow the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus. Their main rivals are the Crows (to which Golden Dawne belongs), the crew that follows the word of The Alley Star, Aleister Crowley. Then there are the D-Men, Los Royos, and the Saints.

Hey Jason,

Will you be including a "soundtrack list" of stuff you've been listening to as inspiration, or perhaps a soundtrack list for each chapter?  I'm seeing Character Creation have such songs as, "Damn it feels good to be a gangsta" and "Nothin but a G thang", etc.

Most definitely, yes.

Jason L Blair

You okay, Nick? ;)


Gareth knows my email address. If he's interested, I would certainly talk. Actually, I see great possiblity in it.

I was purely being in jest here; I had no intent to speak for you or Gareth.  But yes, UW was good, and I'm looking forward to Wyrd is Bond, and my enjoyment is independent of cross-over issues.  I just hope there won't be as many blank stares about "hip-hop... in an RPG?!?" as there was for Underworld.

Beyond that, though, no.  I'm not OK.  I'm proving my knowledge of social theory to my soc department right now, and coming to the Forge was a bad, bad idea...

UnderWorld was a hip-hop game?  *puzzles*  UnderWorld had hip-hop as a major enough element to be concerned about it?  *puzzles*

Either way, Wyrd is Bond looks cool.

Agred about Wyrd is Bond.

Now I'm really apologetic about making my comment.
When Underworld came out there were several thread on its forum and at rpg.net with people complaining about the fact that some of the art & feel were a little more 'urban' or 'ethnic' than they wanted.  *shrugs*

Jason L Blair

Nick,

I remember the "controversy" surrounding UW well.

I realize you mentioned the cross-over in jest, but I still think it has potential. Who knows? I certainly wouldn't mind working on something with Gareth, that's for sure.

Lxndr and Nick,

Thank you both for your kind words. Wyrd is Bond is entering the final stretch. I hope everyone likes it when it arrives in Oct/Nov.
