    While on the plane home, I reread my Compass: Autochthonia book. I'm incapable of reading that book without wanting to play/run an alchemicals game. Found myself enjoying Nurad, Jarish, Claslat, and Sova more than I have in the past too...

    Ah well.

    ah yes, Autochthonia. here is a song for you for Autochthonia:

    "Praise the Maker, and Pass the Arrows"
    Praise the Maker and pass the arrows
    Praise the Maker and pass the arrows
    Praise the Maker and pass the arrows
    And we'll all stay free

    Praise the Maker and hold the vat
    Can't afford to be an autocrat
    Praise the Maker, we're all between the Populat
    And the deep black sea

    Yes, the air pilot said it, you gotta give him credit
    For a son of a crossbow of a crossbowman was he

    Shouting, 'Praise the Maker, don't be a-whining
    All aboard, we ain't a-goin' mining
    Praise the Maker and pass the arrows
    And we'll all stay free'

    Praise the Maker
    (Praise the Maker)
    And pass the arrows
    Praise the Maker
    (Praise the Maker)
    And pass the arrows
    Praise the Maker
    (Praise the Maker)
    And pass the arrows
    And we'll all stay free

    Praise the Maker and pass the arrows
    Praise the Maker and pass the arrows
    Praise the Maker and pass the arrows
    And we'll all stay free


    can just imagine the Estasians singing it.
    I'm also on discord as "raziere".

    In case anyone hasn't heard, the third edition backer pdf is supposedly coming out this week!

This is the method we’ve determined to be the most efficient for a project this huge as well as most likely to be something we can collate and implement without missing messages.

    More came out in a Kickstarter update. Of note...

    Good news here, though. Any assurance that potential problems will assuredly not prevent the pdf from coming out this week is a huge plus.

    I think only something on the level of all instances of the text literally catching fire can prevent it from coming this week. OPP is probably more anxious to get rid of it than even we are to get it.

    I wish I'd backed the Kickstarter now, so that I could get the PDF. But on the other hand, maybe not backing it spared me some annoyance during the game's long creation process. Win some, lose some, I guess.

    There will be contests on the Onyx Path forum to give away free copies. I won such a contest on the White Wolf forums which is how I am getting mine.

    I think the free copies some Kickstarter backers are going to get mean the final, published version of the PDF. Not the backer version that's about to be sent out.

    My plan is to skim it once and then rely heavily on the Find function.

    Good news here, though. Any assurance that potential problems will assuredly not prevent the pdf from coming out this week is a huge plus.
    Well, that's not quite what they said, they said issues with the cover won't prevent it from coming out this week As with others, I'm waiting to celebrate until it shows up in my inbox. But this does sound promising.

    Looking back, I am kinda glad I didn't win the race to choose one of the new MA styles - I'd be a lot more annoyed about this delay if I'd backed with an amount of money significant enough for me to remember it.

    (Although checking back, hmm. That is actually considerably more money than I would've estimated in retrospect. Ah well, I guess there are some advantages to a delay long enough that people forget how much they paid in the throes of Kickstarter enthusiasm )

    I am looking forward to seeing my Eclipse's name in the credits

    Nope. People who got multiple PDF copies give the link they get to everyone they are giving it to. So long as each person logs in with a different DriveThru account it will be added to each of their libraries and updated automatically when the final version comes out.

    So what's everyone's first priority when they get the pdf? Character building? lore perusing? loophole abuse? Sharpening pichtforks and oilling torches for the inevitable "They changed X and now everything is ruined!"?

    -Reading the comics that this book will hopefully have in it.
    -The antagonists section. I want to see what I can build for a campaign idea I had in chiaroscuro.
    -Build my Night Caste
    -Build my Dawn (and her first age incarnation, because I'm not sure which I'd rather do)
    -Make all of the characters I've built FITE!

    This is all assuming I don't find anyone for a group when this thing comes out.

    Correct. They stated definitively that it would have written fiction instead of comics.

    First thing on the list is to learn the system. Much fuss has been made about momentum-based combat and about social influence not being stupid anymore, and I'll be very interested to get into how they actually work in detail.

    Not that I'm not curious about how the lore's changed. At the end of the day, though, the rules are what's most in need of an overhaul. If the new lore is good, that's fantastic and (in the unlikely event that I'm able to get a game off the ground) I'll be glad to incorporate the changes. But everyone I know who I might be able to get into a game is pretty well and thoroughly finished with second edition for reasons that have nothing to do with the setting and the lore, so the top priority has got to be learning the new system.

    But if we lived in a perfect world, I'd hope to see the division between bonus points and experience points ended so that I don't spend character creation wringing my hands over how spending my bp the way I want might cost me extra xp in the long run.
