A (máris röhejesen elcsúszott...) teljes kiadói terv a köv. évre:

A legérdekesebb fejlemény az, hogy a WW-nak lett egy
Onyx Path nevű alstúdiója/szerződtetett bandája, méghozzá azokkal, akiket tavaly ki kellett rakniuk a cégtől, amikor az anyavállalat CCP eldöntötte, hogy a White Wolf mostantól márpedig csakis a World of Darnkess Online-nal fog foglalkozni, a papíralapú szerepjátékok meg menjenek a francba. -.-
Ami azt illeti, ez
nagyon jó hír, mert így továbbra is van egy fejlesztőstúdió, ami elsősorban és kizárólag az rpg-kre koncentrál, a tagjai pedig WW-veteránok.
Az Onyx Path egy rakat cuccon dolgozik:

Új Mummy és Demon, nWoD- és oWoD-kiegek, lesz új kiadása az Exaltednek, Scionnak és Trinitynek is, stb.
quote:
Mummy the Curse– The nWoD from the point of view of the deathless, ancient keepers of the Curse. 264 pages. Our latest game line for the World of Darkness, Mummy will be developed using an open process in which the community can see the progress of the game and contribute, and released as a virtual box set.
quote:
Demon the ???– A new game line- answering many fan requests- a new look at those creatures of fire and darkness: fallen angels, nightmares from the nether realms, servants of the God Machine or something else entirely? Includes codified rule sets of those rules developed over the last few years including: Shards, SASs, Tiers, as well as a rich background for players to immerse themselves in. 320 pages.
Meg egy új, nem-Storyteller játékuk is lesz, ami a planetáris románc zsánerébe is sorolható:
Cavaliers of Mars
Már létezik demója, szerintem nagyon érdekes lesz:
http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/...rm=cavaliers+of+marsquote:
Return now to dying Mars in its last age of glory.
A planet of flashing swords and choking sands, of winking courtesans and lantern-lit canal cities. Mars, where fortune and death are two sides of the same obsidian chit, where lost cities and dry oceans stretch between the last bastions of civilization. Where the First Martians, the monument-builders, are but a haunted memory. Where the Red Martians become decadent and reckless in their last days. Where the Green Martians rule the wastes, remembering a history whose weight would crush a lesser people.
Tonight, find yourself in Vance at festival time. When revolutionaries strike a visiting prince, you’ll need to explore the city’s dark underbelly, before racing across its towered tombs! Save lives, end lives, and earn your water!
Live, fight, and love on Mars, a world of red death and strange mystery, a world of savagery and romance.
The quick start includes:
A complete adventure set in one of dying Mars’ greatest remaining cities.
The innovative Wushu rules, for high-flying, swashbuckling adventure.
Five pre-generated player characters, ready to get into the heart of the action.
Mummy: The Curse az új nWoD-játékvonal neve. Limitált lesz, mint a Mage után az összes, ami azt jelenti, hogy nem húzzák a végtelenségig a vonalat, hanem kiadnak hozzá egy bizonyos számú kiegészítőt, és azzal lezárják a címet egy szép kerek egészként (és nem pedig azt jelenti, hogy csak limitált ideig lesz kapható, vagy hasonló).
Már rengeteg mindent lehet tudni a játékról, főleg ebből a blogból:

A youtube-on fent van a 3
idei GenConos előadásuk, a White Wolfos, az Onyx Pathes és a Mummys:

Ezeket érdemes megnézni/hallgatni, ha valakit komolyabban érdekel a cég és a terveik, meg az új játék(ok).
A számomra legérdekesebb két (ill. négy) kiadvány a sima (halandós) nWoD
God Machine Chronicles novellaantológiája + kiegészítő szabálykönyve, meg a VtR ("Sexmurder" kódnév alatt futott)
Strix Chronicles novellaantológiája + kiegészítő szabálykönyve.
quote:
Midway through the schedule we’re going to be presenting a new idea for the nWoD “blue books” and Vampire the Requiem with the God Machine and Strix Chronicles respectively. These both begin with a fiction anthology that combines the best fiction from the last eight years of game books with all new works that immerse the reader in the world as envisioned by the Chronicle. And when we say Chronicles, these aren’t just big adventures but entire reimaginings of the game-line viewed through a strong storyline. These books are designed to present a default setting that Storytellers and players can look to as the consistent story-rich nWoD core or VtR setting. They will contain the rules changes it is clear were needed after eight years of critical thinking and fan commentary, as well as mention of the various nWoD tools that have been developed in that time such as the Tiers, SASs, etc. Basically, here are Chronicles that can be used whole-cloth or in pieces as you see fit, but which are there in their entirety with a rich and immersive background that can be enjoyed for it’s own sake as well.
And then, in August there is Demon the ???- where we continue our rich tradition of not revealing the subtitle although, frankly, none of us remember why we always do that. Demon will build on the setting revealed in the God Machine Chronicle, but will stand entirely on its own as a new and terrifying supernatural game line in 2013.
WoD- God Machine Chronicle Fiction Anthology–. This volume combines already published stories from previous nWoD sourcebooks, and unreleased ones leading up to and hinting at the God Machine Chronicle that touch on the fear and horror that lurks within the World of Darkness.
VtR Strix Chronicle Fiction Anthology–.As with the nWoD Anthology, this one contain classic and new VtR fiction that teases the new Strix Chronicle and provide a richer look at the terror created by the fear of these malevolent spirits.
nWoD- The God Machine Chronicle- This book combines both setting and rules info to create a default Chronicle for nWoD that still allows the sandbox play that nWoD is known for. The Chronicle focuses on the legends of the God Machine that first captivated readers’ interest in the nWoD core rulebook and presents a world darkened by its presence. The general history and specific rules changes of this Chronicle set the stage for the release of Demon: The ??? in August.
VtR- The Strix Chronicle- This book combines both setting and rules info to create a default Chronicle for VtR that still allows the sandbox play that nWoD is known for. The Chronicle focuses on the legends of the Strix- the owl spirits that prey on vampires. A threat unique to VtR and used to great effect in the historical Rome books, this book will show the effects of a world where the threat of their return has warped vampire society. Will contain default tweaks to the rules and in-depth history and backstory of just such a setting.
Azt hiszem, ennyi.
