We'll provide support . . . werewolves,
Yay.  :) Will this be for wolves, specifically, or will there be rules for other were-critters, e.g. the were-buffalo Bob mentions in Fool Moon. Or, for that matter, weregoats.  ;D

It's all sketched in broad strokes, so it should not be hard to cook up a were-goat if you desire it.

If by "main thrust" you mean we'll have a single chapter on Baltimore that includes some adventures and campaign starters, yes.

That said, I expect the Chicago material -- especially in terms of the extensive "who's who" that we're planning for it -- will dwarf the Baltimore stuff.

Yep.  We have a city creation chapter an' everything.

:) Perhaps instead of "main thrust" I should have said "Main content allocation aside from book-specifics". 

Anyway... shhhaaweet.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable Weregoats are broken argument. "Weregoat racial abilities stack with spiked chain bonuses, and the result is totally overpowered. That build is totally broken!"

hmmm, well i hope it isnt a purely solo game event. maybe mix it up by being able to play other PC's in a group, sans turn based, or being able to set PC's to do certain jobs pre battle and if things need changing, having the ability to change battle mechanics in the midst of battle. just a thought.
Silvery moon, washed in blood Led astray into the night,
armed with sword of broken Light,
Broken, then betrayed by one, standing there bestride the sun,
At darkest hour, redemption comes, in Knightly lady sworn to blood.

My reading is that, to some people, RPG=CRPG. It's the only way I can parse that post and have it be something that doesn't come from TimeCube.

Yeah, let's be clear. This is a pen and paper RPG. Not a computer game.
