A table of 100 Epithets to inspire your Visages in Sigil & Shadow (or any fantasy game dealing with petty gods or powerful spirits).

How I arrived on BlueSky:
This game is in a league of its own. I think fans of Demon the Fallen or The Whispering Vault should peel their eyelids open for this one.
“…I want a Winnebago.”
You’ve got to be fucking with me!? Not Newbie! I fucking hate this timeline
Amen — I’ve been gaming for decades and this year I just wasn’t feeling it. Stepped out of some groups, focused on prioritizing other stuff, and then “treated” myself to a solo game session on my own time or the occasional skirmish game meetup.
Gave me perspective both at and away from the table
This is exactly the vibe *I want* when I run fantasy games. I hope you get to bring it to fruition some day!
NGL I love this response because it simultaneously points out the absurdity while also being positive and making me want to bring over Mario Kart
Really enjoyed the copy I bought on itch — will definitely be there on launch day to show support.
Fake it until you make it as they say. And I’ve been playing the role of a TTRPG game designer for about 12 years! Now the mask has become my very nature. I am going to play the Masquerade game with vampires, for real. After years of working as an independent game designer, like a good Anarch, I joined the Camarilla. I am now the Lead Game Designer at White Wolf, the legendary publisher that made me realize TTRPGs could be about a lot more than killing monsters. I can be one of them, and surprisingly be even more human! The first book I ever read in English was Vampire: The Dark Ages, and now I get to work as a game designer full time for the first time with the World of Darkness? I couldn’t be happier! To live and breathe the universe of Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Hunter, Changeling, Wraith, and all other games every day, and be able to collaborate in shaping its future is a dream come true. These games were formative in my TTRPG industry, in the Brazilian TTRPG community, and are incredibly relevant to this day. Especially these days I would say. And with me I am bringing my game design philosophy of “playing more with less” to help make the game more accessible while honoring the more than 30 years of World of Darkness! I just want everyone to enjoy the game as much as they can, with as little effort as they can afford. Oh, and I am still an Anarch at heart, don’t worry!

So this happened…
I am White Wolf’s new Lead Game Designer!
I will figure out how to post the whole text here, but there is a picture with the announcement and the alt text has the full thing!

“Roses are red”
Or so it said on the card;
“Man from Nantucket…”

@jonmarkhicks.bsky.social I have a dumb lore question about PRESSURE — what is the estimated time to travel from Earth Orbit (Pacific Station) to Mars?
I really love the current Chromatic Shadows (+ Companion) but I’m REALLY looking forward to the complete version Kris has been working on. Mechanically rests somewhere between old Shadowrun and uh, “old” nWoD? And I love the cyberpunk with very WEIRD, yet subtle, occult vibe.
I’m finding myself more and more looking forward to the moments I can sneak off for another turn by my lonesome than actually playing with other people. Gives me the cerebral high and dice tingles without the social drop (and reminds me how much I do enjoy world building/character plots)
Some flat paper figs featuring sci-fi characters from Okumart’s “Extrastellar” line
An Obsidian canvas being used as a dashboard for Five Parsecs from Home. Crew member sheets, an encounter window, a roster of sci-fi characters and a dice roller.
Paper figs featuring artwork by David Okum — in particular his “Star Borg” line of totally-not-from a galaxy far, far away characters.
What I’m up to lately:
Been getting ready to start some “5 Parsecs from Home”. Been printing out some paper figs by @okumarts.bsky.social and putting together an Obsidian vault to track the crew and encounters.
Started turn 1; have the details of the first encounter ready. Will play it tonight!
Lord Zordran wrote: I ran the 123rd and final session of my ongoing Sigil & Shadow campaign today. We had the big final confrontation last week, today was all about making big decisions and quiet epilogue moments. It's probably one of my favourite campaigns I've ever run. My players and I enjoyed the Sigil & Shadow rules set a lot and it helped facilitate our play style and the story we were telling very well. Thank you for writing such a kickass system
This is pretty damn impressive!
SIGIL & SHADOW uses milestone advancements, with the intent for a “full” campaign to be played over a dozen or so sessions. Or you can pace it out as needed, and I’m happy to see such a long journey make its end!

Consider me very curious about both endeavors! Especially the RPG that’s one of my fav topics to pull game inspiration from

My brain meats thinks this is either Beebop from original TMNT cartoon or one of the Beagle Boys from Ducktales (again, the OG)
It’s easy to get burned out by the different versions but I’ll always throw down classic fantasy
