Executive Summary

I) ADDENDUM.

A) December NWoD Addendum is done. Discussions underway for the March 2012 Addendum.
B) Overall, the Addendum has reached a certain degree of stability; I really don’t see any huge changes in it for the rest of the chronicle.

II) BOOKS.

A) Inferno: still in the Land of Non-Consensus. Realistically, the best bet is to harvest the ST/NPC stuff for use for next chronicle.
B) Shadows of the Unknown: the Forsaken Rite is sanctioned, as is the Lost Goblin Contract; the Sin-Eater Ceremony is pending, and the GRP is chewing on the Supernatural Lore Merit for use for next chronicle.
C) Slasher: See Inferno… Though considering that we’re likely to go with scaling venues next chronicle, this will wind up as an ST/NPC resource for Vigil.

III) VENUES.

A) UNIVERSAL
A1) We sanctioned a number of merits from various venue-specific books into Universal use, to much joy from the masses.

B) REQUIEM
B1) Had a question crop up about Gilded Cage and the modified ritual draw rules; emphasized that the Addendum really does mean what the Addendum says, and that the tweaked rules are specific to Cruac and Theban Sorcery.

C) FORSAKEN
C1) In the end, only the Old Blood Merit from Ch 4, War Against the Pure made the cut. Others are under discussion (at this late date, probably for next chronicle).

D) AWAKENING.
D1) Capped Enhanced item bonuses to the caster’s Matter Arcanum.
D2) Pulled the plug on the Predator’s Innocence Merit (with full XP refund).

E) LOST.
E1) Not a whole ton going on here; the team is pretty much focused on the end-of-chronicle story.

F) GEIST.
F1) Quiet as the grave.

G) CROSS-VENUE.
G1) Nothing this time around.

IV) GLOBAL RULES PANEL.

A) Per the GRP Lead Report (see later).

V) PLAYTESTS.

A) Would like some kind of report from Australia on the Requiem status playtest there. Still don’t have one.

VI) GAMEPLAY RESOURCES WIKI

A) As always, a work in progress (as any good Wiki should be).

VII) VENUE DIRECTORIES

A) REQUIEM: Up to date.
B) FORSAKEN: Up to date.
C) LOST: Up to date.
D) AWAKENING: Up to date.
E) GEIST: Up to date.
F) VIGIL: The holidays are finally here, and that means I can get ‘ER done.
G) MASQUERADE: Up to date.

VIII) OTHER

Projects


Phil’s report:

== Ongoing Projects==============

We have been tasked with creating a guide Line Document for the Supernatural Lore Merit from Glimpses of the Unknown. We are currently in the brainstorming phase and coming up with compromises on the how we think it should work. Within the next few days we will progress in normalizing the plan and begin drafting a first draft. I believe we will have the final project done ahead of schedule.

About the Author

My experience as an ST spans a few different positions from CST and GSA (back in the day), to the more current positions of VST, AAMST in Requiem and Jesse's go to girl for tech stuff. I keep various things on file and update as well as attempt to consolidate things.
