Veins of the Earth - Workshop
'Queen Mab's Palace' will be moving to layout soon. My gigantic review of Hugh Cooks 'Chronicles of and Age of Darkness' is done. What will False Machine be working on next?
Veins of the Earth - Remastered
And by working on, I mean that I have started work, not that we have a book ready right now. This is the beginning of a long process.
The new Veins will probably be A4, to fit in with other False Machine books, and will have new content, a new layout, hopefully some new images.
But what needs to be added? What needs to be changed? What didn't work for people last time? I have some ideas but I also want your input.

One thing that I've found myself doing to better use the original (which I have printed from PDF and learned book binding since I only discovered it once it was out of stock) is a relationship chart for the various creatures and Factions — how might they relate to each other — how would their intentions play off each other... that kind of thing
Personally I thought everything about the original was nearly perfect, and the only thing I'd change if I could would be for the mechanical bits (stats for enemies, climbing rules, etc.) to use the Into the Odd/Mythic Bastionland OSR system, the same way that Silent Titans did. I run everything I can in that system, and am always having to convert stuff on the fly.
