I also try to add a little extra fun, like this dramatization of "Missed Connections" over on my Daily Motion channel for folks who enjoy audio dramas!
As I sit here on the spookiest day of the year, though, I find myself wondering what folks would like to see me cover next? So I figured I'd open up the floor, and see where the conversation went!

The Darkest Corners of The Setting
The World of Darkness is one of the places I feel most comfortable as a player. While I may lack the deep lore knowledge of some of the old hands (I didn't show up until right after the reboot that would become the Chronicles of Darkness was released), I never get tired of all the beautiful, horrific nonsense the games have to offer. Even games that aren't so much my bag are ones I at least try to read through and learn about because they're another facet of the setting that I enjoy.
However, WoD/CoD supplements are a much dicier proposal (pun very much intended) than a lot of the other stuff I work on. Because while the setting maintains popularity to some degree, that popularity is split among a lot of the different game lines, then split even further among the different editions of those game lines. Because for some reason players tend to find their comfort zone in this setting, and then only play that one game, rarely branching out to any of the near-dozen other options one might find... which is why a lot of the supplements I make tend to at least be usable across editions of a game, if not throughout the entire setting (like Evil Incorporated: 10 Pentex Subsidiaries which may crop up all over the original WoD setting, as an example).
Folks who are familiar with my work (check out the World of Darkness Supplements board on my Pinterest for a complete list) know that as of time of writing I've created content for Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Vampire: The Masquerade, and Changeling: The Lost. Most of it has focused on creating NPCs for STs to use in their games, along with rumors and resources players might find, and occasional strange things they might encounter for you to use as set dressing, plot devices, or both!
But what would you, my regular readers, like to see?
Would you like to see less-loved games like Promethean, Hunter, or Geist get some fresh material to spark interest in them? Do you feel like Apocalypse and Masquerade have enough content out there, and you'd like to see content for Forsaken and Requiem instead? Or are you one of the various folks who just want as much Mage content as they can get no matter what edition it focuses on?
That's what I need to know.
So take a moment and leave your thoughts where I can see them. Put them in a comment below, or leave them on social media where you found this post. Reach out to me on Twitter or Facebook, and let me know what you want to see. I listen when people ask me for things, and I take ideas that crop up repeatedly when people contact me.
With that said, I just just one caveat; don't ask for a product you aren't interested in purchasing.
Money is tight, and we're all very choosy with our gaming budgets, but generally speaking I put weeks of daily effort into creating a supplement, and then my publisher has to do layout, acquire art, and get everything arranged, while putting the product up for sale. It's a lot of work, and a lot of energy, to produce even small supplements, and nothing is worse than people saying they want something, then not actually getting copies of it when the thing finally drops.
Please, keep that in mind before you make you requests.
