This is a poll to help come up with a new female teen romantic interest. This character will be only available to romance as a teenager main character of any gender. You are selecting a new type of personality and concept for this character who will be recruitable.
2020-07-15 18:07:38 +0000 UTC View PostIn the current scene I am writing, you are introduced to a group of survivors that were created as part of a different Patreon poll. Now I would like your help selecting something uncommon or even unique they may possess which you can acquire by negotiation or force.
Not all groups you encounter will be new factions. Don't worry that the game is getting so large that you won't be able to keep track of all of the other groups.
2020-07-12 13:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostIt's hard to believe but I am nearing the end of creating this game. At this stage I am writing an open ended scene where you scout out a vampire who is living on the outskirts of town. This pole will help decide on the vampire's haven.

Tomorrow I am posting a poll for the article of the month. I would like to know if any of you have ideas for stories or articles. For the past two months, my new Vampire: the Masquerade game has been the topic for articles of the month. Every past article before that has been about ZE:SH characters.
So, what articles would you like to see for this month?
Are there specific characters you would like to read about?

2020-07-01 14:48:27 +0000 UTC View PostEver since the creation of Vampire: the Masquerade, the concept of a vampire hunter has been explored by many players and storytellers. Numerous game supplements have been written that provide rules for mortal characters in the World of Darkness. Some versions have promoted supernatural powers to aid vampire hunters (Hunter: The Reckoning), while other manuals stress purely human hunters (The Hunters Hunted). , Since Out for Blood uses the Vampire: the Masquerad...
2020-06-29 16:03:41 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone! I hope you are healthy and safe. Here in New Jersey in the United States, businesses are reopening slowly after the shutdown, though facemasks are becoming commonplace. As someone who writes about viral infections and has worked in an infectious lab, it’s so real to see the current landscape of life. No matter where you are, I hope you are well both in health and financially.
Lots of progress has been made on my projects this month, so let’s dive into it, so I can g...

Next month, we will vote for a new teen female RO.
2020-06-15 18:33:57 +0000 UTC View PostAs I am writing the first major mission related to both the soldier storyline and the New Army, I am reminded of several missions in the first Zombie Exodus in which the MC went solo or with only one other survivor. For this poll you will help decide if the MC goes alone or brings other survivors.
2020-06-12 14:48:32 +0000 UTC View PostAs a hunter in this game, you will need to come up with multiple ways to kill vampires. In the World of Darkness, there are only a few ways to kill a vampire. Fire and sunlight are the most common. A stake through the heart will place the vampire in a coma-like state (called Torpor) but will not necessarily kill them. Large degrees of damage may also knock vampires unconscious. For example, if they fall off the top of a skyscraper, they will not die from the impact but will certainly be injur...

2020-05-29 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone. I hope you are all staying healthy and safe no matter where you are located in the world.
After last month’s major announcement of a new game, I am going back to the traditional format of giving updates on each of my games in development.

2020-05-20 13:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the first poll ever to help me with development of my new game, Vampire: the Masquerade — Out for Blood. This poll will help me identify a character who is a young vampire and member of a coterie, a group of vampires who joined together.
Since I need to use this character soon, I am running this poll a few days early and it will have a short voting time.

2020-05-13 19:38:46 +0000 UTC View PostIn our last poll, you selected that a plane radios for an emergency landing when the MC is in the control room of the airport. In this poll, you will choose the details about that plane, who is on it, and why they are making an emergency landing.
New Army Refuel -- It's a New Army plane. Their fuel tank is leaking, and they are running low on fuel.

2020-05-12 13:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostAt some point, the MC's group will need to go to the Silverthorne camp. While on the trip there, I want the group to encounter the Silverthornes prior to reaching their main camp. Which scenario do you prefer for a brief scene?
2020-05-08 13:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
I wanted to give you an update on some changes that we’ll be seeing which may affect some of your pledges. Due to new laws passing in several countries and US states, Patreon will be required to start charging sales tax on some pledges starting July 1st.
Less than half of all patrons will be charged sales tax, and for most, the amount will be very small. For example, sales tax rates in the US range from 4% to 11%, so on a $5 pledge, that would...
2020-05-07 13:48:06 +0000 UTC View PostNow that I have announced my new game, Vampire: the Masquerade — Out for Blood, it gives me an opportunity to poll my patrons about the type of content they would like to see here. Would you like to see only content related to Zombie Exodus, or would you like to see content about other games as well?
Please note that regardless of the outcome of this poll, the monthly and quarterly alpha testing will remain Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven.

2020-04-30 17:01:37 +0000 UTC View PostRachel left her tent in the Junkyard’s parking lot just as the moon hit the high point of the night sky. She had been told by Jamie not to follow the three River Dogs back to their base, but he said nothing of scouting their base after they left. She wasn’t entirely sure where they came from, but she knew enough about them to have an educated guess. In her line of work, educated guesses often lead to successful missions.
Most of the group slept in their quarters and only three took ...
2020-04-28 16:11:26 +0000 UTC View PostI will be posting the scouting mission short story tomorrow. This involves Rachel and Lopez going out together to scout an area around the Junkyard. I just want to state that this story will have considerable spoilers for Part 3. The content is not even in the test version yet.
I just want to offer this warning in case you wish to hold off on reading this story to avoid test version or eventually from the published game.being spoiled .
2020-04-27 22:11:35 +0000 UTC View PostAs I have been saying for a few months, I have been working on a new game to publish through Choice of Games. Over the past year I have been under an agreement not to discuss any details about that game. Choice of Games just posted a note on their forums about my secret project, which leads me to believe they will be announcing this game very soon in much more detail. All I can say at this point is that the game is planned to release February, 2021.

Note: if you're due for your naming reward, message me to name the winning character.

As we are coming to the end of flushing out our airport, we should make one more challenge or area to be explored by the group.
