How did your experience working in the Venice Chronicles social network influenced your later work in roleplaying games?
Did you share any of your experience and lessons leanerd while working in VC with the team currently working on WoD MMO?
Do you have any specific ideas concerning how a sucessful WoD MMO could be designed?
What's your favorite RPG material that eventually was cut in the final editing process?

BTW: Congrats for your really cool and interesting podcast, guys. Loved the Secret Frequencies on strange gravity anomalies because I'm from Portugal and now I've to find out about that Braga's thingie.

Lets say that you just got the OK to write UFO the Abducting (or whatever project). How would you go about getting into the mood for writing? For example, many of the inspirational material listen in the core books, are those movies/books/etc that you guys actually watch and read, or is that more an after thought?

What part of creating a typical project do you hate the most? Besides waiting on the check. . . For example, waiting on approval for an idea, or needing to go through certain steps for this or that?

What is going to be destroyed first, Cali or NY?

Are White Wolf paychecks made with game designs or cool logos?

What is your dream project, white wolf or not?

The CEO of White Wolf, WotC/Hasboro, and I don't know, Catalyst Games are all stranded on an island for 15 years. There is one gun and one bullet. Who gets them?
