And of course the two sample "High Concepts" are "CRIME-FIGHTING WEREWOLF" and "WEREGOAT WISEASS".  ;)

If I ever get to PLAY this game I'm publishing instead of RUN it, "Weregoat Wiseass" is indeed near the top of my list. :)

So your arch-nemesis would be a series of possessed tin cans?

Was wondering about Handy Plot Exposition devices, such as:

- Ask The Paranet (and the audience says: D, mutant weregoats! But is that your final answer?)

- Informants (for Murphy types)

- Divine Guidance / "Dominion Magic" (miracles)

- Dreams, signs, portents, etc. (Mind you, Harry's idea of a portent is usually a Big Bad kicking the door in with size 12s. )

...or any other "Get Out Of Plot Free" cards GMs can use to move things along, or that players can use against eeebil GMs who are tormenting them with cunningly written clues. Muhahahaaaa etc.

It would appear at a glance that White Court vampires begin with a pretty low Refresh. Would that be accurate?

Yep. They're "wizard level" in terms of the refresh costs.

This may have gotten answered already, but I'm to dang lazy to read through Hundreds of post just trying to Find the Answer, so I'll ask it here, Will you be Including The Phobpags, Tempal Dogs, and an Underground location of some kind?

Holy random capitalization, Batman!

I take it you're asking about the phobophages (not the Phobpags); yes, they're in there.

And the temple dogs (not the Tempal Dogs); yes, they're in there.

And Undertown? We'll at least cover it as much as Harry's seen it.

My spelling is awful, I must apoligiz for that -_- .

But I am glad to here that these will all be included in the game...now all that remains is for me to get my hands on it...

Hmmm. I think a few people might be interested in playing wizards:
