The recent thoughts of a roleplaying God(?)

Okay, here's my response to some of your questions.  BTW, thanks for =

the courtesy folks...

1. No, I don't roleplay, unless you count an occasional game of Axis =

and Allies.

2. I don't really roleplay anymore, at least not in the traditional =

gaming sense.  But I pretty much live my life in varoius roles... =

(boy, did I even leave myself open on that one).  If I could play in =

a chronicle without freaking out the people involved, and have them =

act normal I would.  However, the only way I can really roleplay any =

more is by being a Storyteller, and I just don't have time to do a =

good job.  Besides, when you design games and worlds, its still =

roleplaying....

3. White Wolf is, at this point, doing fine.  We took a hard hit, =

due to our own overconfidence, collapse of accouting systems, and =

general malaise in the gaming industry... however Steve Wieck I =

believe is the best manager in Gaming, and he has just taken a very =

hard lesson.  The fact that he won't draw salary for the next few =

months should reinforce it rather well.  I'm not going to say =

anything more about it, this is enough.  Sorry, but frankly, its =

none of your business.  Besides, roleplaying is more interesting.

4.I can't write a whole lot because of a hand injury that may be =

permanent.  My right hand clenches up constantly, and limits me to =

only a few hours of typing a day.  I no longer have an assitant, so =

writing E-mail "steals" time away from my projects.  The only reason =

I'm writting now is that I have a massive case of writers block. =

Once it lifts, you won't hear much from me for a while.  =


5. The projects I am working on currently include a proposal for a =

Changling Computer game (looks fantastic, true storytelling through =

flashbacks.... can't say any more about it now), Arcadia Setting =

Material (with my good friend Sam Chupp's creative involvment), a =

Science fiction game and setting revolving around the future of the =

Net (for release in 97, as a SF parallel to the WOD), I'm still =

working on Cry Wolf stuff, we may start work soon, and finally I am =

completing a trailer for a movie based on Werewolf (I got sick of =

being mostly ignored by the chaps at Spelling, though frankly the TV =

show's not nearly as bad as I feared. The trailer is a way for me to =

raise the cash to make a low budget movie, you should see it in game =

stores in a few months as a promo for Rage. Made for only $6,ooo, =

its pretty damn good, if I say so myself).   =
Well, my hands given out.
