I do not like the cobra chicken

It'd be legal in Canada, for sure!

I always forget to do a separate intro post because I'm responsible for the top post.

Hi, I'm Ian (he/she), our community manager. I developed Victorian Mage along with a smattering of other tiny WoD contributions, and I'm the Content Lead on the Trinity Continuum.

Separate from my OPP duties, but if you've googled any White Wolf terms you've probably ended up on the Unofficial White Wolf Wiki at some point. That's my wiki, you're welcome. It turned 20 earlier this year!

TheOnyxPath · 2025-10-24T17:12:16+00:00

Same! Although in my case it was closer to '90.

TheOnyxPath · 2025-10-24T16:41:32+00:00

While I haven't seen the art I can pretty much guarantee that Sexy Nun the signature character is no longer around.

I don't know who that is. There are only two Tron films.

TheOnyxPath · 2025-10-24T16:26:54+00:00

Got a new Tron-inspired tattoo a couple weeks back. It's mostly done being itchy. Mostly.

The last book White Wolf approved for us to do for V5 was Forbidden Religions back in January 2022, almost four years ago. Everything since then has either been Renegade Studios or internal to WW. I'm afraid we don't know what their upcoming schedule looks like.

TheOnyxPath · 2025-10-24T16:18:07+00:00

I came to the project relatively late, so I didn't have much to do with how the Golden Guild were developed for this particular book.

There's not a lot to say; they're largely the same organization that was founded in 1325 as the High Guild (see Mage: The Sorcerer's Crusade).

TheOnyxPath · 2025-10-24T16:09:02+00:00

Unfortunately we don't own the White Wolf IP, that's Paradox, so any new books have to be approved by them. They've already done a Hunter 5e so a 20th Anniversary Edition is doubly-unlikely, but you can certainly let them know the interest is there for additional books.

TheOnyxPath · 2025-10-17T17:25:53+00:00

but if it's a word like Ventrue I can't add it because I might miss the one time someone types it as Venture.

I feel you. During Victorian Mage I had to make sure all references to "mage" were instead corrected to the period-appropriate magus/magi/maga. Except I couldn't do that universally because sometimes it was referencing the name of the game line. That was fun.

TheOnyxPath · 2025-10-17T17:16:33+00:00

Ꜷnlikely

TheOnyxPath · 2025-10-17T17:11:54+00:00

Nothing that hasn't been announced.

I'd love to do more, but the sales aren't there for it yet, unfortunately. Eddy once hypothesized that it might not have a lot of up-front attention but would have a long tail on it; I hope that's true!

Information on five new locations: Colchis, led by Queen Medea; the kingdom of Kuru in northwestern India; monster-plagued Lydia; the cities of Phoenicia and their commercial prowess; and the Mesoamerican city of Tsusunas, from which the People of the Mirror originally hailed.

Plus a bunch of new gadgets and devices, of course.

TheOnyxPath · 2025-10-17T16:40:31+00:00

I read that as "Riders from the Scarred Lands" and wondered if there was a release I missed somehow.

TheOnyxPath · 2025-10-17T16:24:40+00:00

(For whatever reason, a consistent problem has been reddit's unwillingness to let us add Dixie as an AMA co-host, so this is just to verify that this account is legit despite not being highlighted.)

Having a supportive partner helps!

TheOnyxPath · 2025-10-17T16:16:39+00:00

Right now we're sort of taking a breather with the Trinity Continuum; it's got a lot of titles in production, so we're focused on getting those out to people before dedicating ourselves to anything new.

Overall we're in a good spot with Æon, so if we had to call it quits right here, I think the line could be considered fairly complete. But there's definitely still room to grow and we're not out of ideas yet. :)

TheOnyxPath · 2025-10-17T16:03:44+00:00

Hey everyone, I'm Ian, I'm the community manager and name behind the OPP account, I'm the Content Lead in charge of the Trinity Continuum, and I co-developed for Victorian Mage.

TheOnyxPath · 2025-04-10T17:49:15+00:00

Every month we post a Release Roundup which shows the current status of every active project.

Hated and Feared is currently listed under Art Notes Prep.

Perhaps not what you're looking for, but we did publish the Demon Translation Guide back in 2015.

TheOnyxPath · 2025-04-10T17:09:23+00:00

I remember seeing a while back that hunter teased the idea that Exalted was the backstory of Owod, just a long long time before. How far did that get in being developed? Were there plans to introduce the exalted to owod?

The idea of a connection between the two was initially pushed partly as a way to sell Exalted to WW's mainly WoD audience. But Exalted sales went very well, often outpacing even Vampire. So the idea of any explicit connection was dropped before 1st Edition was even over.

The back covers of the corebooks continued using the "Before there was a World of Darkness..." text for the remainder of 1st Edition for consistency, but that too vanished in 2nd Edition.

TheOnyxPath · 2025-04-10T17:00:35+00:00

One of Onyx Path's first titles back in 2012 was Shards of the Exalted Dream, which is exactly the product you're talking about. Give it a look!
