Yeah, as someone who isn't the core demographic of "specifically like maybe half the people who played this game twenty years ago, maybe," that W looks like some vampire poo poo, not wolf poo poo.

Also everything about this is hideous and hilarious. This is their big cool announcement. They have nothing except this, and it's terrible.

It's literally the same letter from the old logo.

quote:

Inspiration for the new Werewolf logo has been drawn from protest signs, hardcore punk logos and a general vibe of violent resistance, combined with three classic Apocalypse images - the claw-mark, the savage “W” and the Garou glyph for “war”.

Hey, that's S.O.P. for WoD games. If it's released in the next two years, I'd be surprised if it was any good. If it isn't, it's probably not coming.

I'd be more interested in any of the oWoD or cWoD or whatever they're calling it if they were capable of not living in the 90s. Granted, the problem isn't that the theme is the 90s, it's that they've socially and politically never left it. I played a great (albeit short) game of requiem set in Miami in the 80s and it was awesome and a bit over the top. But it wasn't encumbered by game design principles or a focus on just being "a rebel". It was also self-aware, so these are all things that worked. It's like nuWW looks at all the things that work for game companies and then just do the opposite.

No, the "Swirly thing" replacing the O in Apocalypse is the glyph for the Beast of War, one of the heads of the Triatic Wyrm.

A Very Special Hell
A thought: Vampires should, rationally, (and we all know all vampires are super rational Ayn Randian supermen!) be extremely anti-Nuclear war. There is no reasonable estimate by which a nuclear conflict of any significant size does not extinguish between 50 and 95% of the human race, if not all life on earth, given the recent research on the firestorms (itself building on work in the 1980s) and the long term crop disruption that will result.

No humans = no food. No food = cannibalism.

A corrolary: the radicals of the Sabbat should, at all costs, attempt to trigger a nuclear war. Cannibalism is not taboo, and the extinction of advanced human society in no way conflicts ideologically with the party line and is in fact favourable to them on two grounds. It is much easier to control a malnourished and sickly population that can barely keep itself alive than an alert one with surplus energy; second, when the Antediluvians rise it is preferable that the available foodstocks for them be much diminished, and the mass cannibalistic frenzy will simultaneously strengthen the soldiers against them and limit their food supply when the megadeaths reawaken them. If it occurs during the two weeks to months of permanent night or so that will follow the war, so much the better.

Torpor is not a desirable option in a situation in which food stock is extremely limited because of the excessive vulnerability of a torpid vampire to cannibal hunters; however, it may also be considered that the vast majority of known vampires reside either in Europe or North America, primarily in urban locales. While reasonably immune to radiation, the mass firestorms that will incinerate most urban targets pose an existential threat to cainites that far outweighs this immunity and will result in the death of the vast majority of known cainites. This further favours three groups of vampires: Sabbat radicals, the Giovanni, and the Gangrel and Ravnos lines. The first, if the war is instigated by them, will be prepared to weather the storms. The second, if they survive, will no longer lack the requisite souls for their great scheme. The third, by virtue of their comparatively decentralized population, will endure better and be better equipped to scavenge after the war on torpid survivors of other clans.

Now, who's ready to make a game where nuclear disarmament is a crucial plinth for most elders jyhad plans and a core component of the Camarilla's kine agenda?

I've read through it three times and I still can't figure it out. Does the "At-Cost PoD" mean that pledging the Hardcover tiers has a shipping cost but doesn't get you a physical book until you pay DriveThru RPG + another shipping cost? Or do you get a book sent to you, plus the ability to buy more books?

Why did they have to make this so complicated it requires tagged Tiers and is still obtuse, what the hell

They've done the at-cost PoD in previous Kickstarters, apparently because there is demand for it and they get requests, so somebody's interested in the at-cost PoD even if I don't perfectly follow why. If the tier you're looking at contains both a Core Book Hardcover and an At-Cost PoD, what that's saying is you're going to receive a traditionally printed hardcover using the Kickstarter shipping cost, and also you're given a coupon that shaves OPP's cut off the price of buying a print-on-demand hard copy from DrivethruRPG. I've gotten the hardcover tier before on other Kickstarters and just ignored the coupon and didn't bother with a PoD. The traditionally printed hardcover typically is of slightly higher quality than the PoD book, thicker pages, the cover might be silvered or textured or something, etc.

The only strong ideas I have as to why you'd want the coupon are that a) the traditional printing arrangements are slower to make than uploading a PDF to Drivethru, so often there's a period where the PoD hard copy has been made available but the nice traditional-print hardcovers have not yet been shipped, and some people get impatient and have money to spare, and b) especially with the expensive deluxe editions in other Kickstarters besides this one, some people want a fancy collector's edition to keep intact on their shelf and a PoD hard copy they feel more comfortable wearing out, flipping through and using.
