It was predictable. They dropped Wraith, they dropped Changeling (if I recall correctly), now they're doing DA. Next should be Werewolf, if they continue this way. Perhaps they're just going to concentrate on the post-apocalyptic line. I'm not terribly impressed with the new 'rule of 8', but that's probably because I'm not used to it.

Mea Culpa

I'm so sorry. I only listened with half an ear to what the new line was, because I was irritated that they were ending the line I liked.

I'm also so sorry for not knowing that Werewolf had already been dropped. It was the only one of the major games that I couldn't stand.

I should have kept my mouth shut. My apologies.

I was having a ~very~ bad week. Sorry if it came across as over the top. :)

The irritation about having your favorite line ended is simply that there will be no new supplements. We've never paid any attention to the company's stories, since they usually were pretty silly. (Such as "Time of Thin Plot" ;) But the fact that there won't be any new Changeling supplements is kind of sad. Ditto Vampire. And I really loved the DA line. They had some wonderful supplements for the DA Vampire line. There's one that has to do with the Albigensian Crusade period that was quite good. Or things like "Dead Magic" for Mage (although Mage, admittedly, had some of the worst supplements that WW ever put up.)

The new game is okay, altho getting used to the new combat system will be interesting. And the way they've restructurered the clans.

Actually, there will be Changeling suppliments sometime in the future.

"Keys to the Kingdom" and "Book of Glamour" are supposed to see the light of day in PDF format.

So Changeling will outlive the rest of the OWoD by 2 books.
