According to Eddy Izzard, that’s the literal translation of JFK’s famous quote as he entered Berlin during the cold war. I don’t know if Mighty Matt McElroy or Matthew “The Gentleman Gamer” Dawkins issued a similar proclamation as they entered the city for last weekend’s PAX convention, but there they were anyway.

Now, it’s a Paradox Entertainment convention so it was really focused mostly on their electronic games – but Onyx Path was there representing the happy land of Tabletop Role-Playing Games. And from what the dynamic duo reported back, it was a fantastic chance to talk with all sorts of gamers – many of whom were unfamiliar with Onyx Path and/or TTRPGs.

What was really gratifying for our team was just how positive and friendly the attendees were. You never know, going to a new city or country for a con, just how the reception will be. Well, from what they said, it was fantastic! They were able to talk about our upcoming games, both V5 and upcoming White Wolf projects, and also there was a lot of interest in our other, non-WW game lines!

For those folks who did know about us, we had some sneak previews of upcoming V5 projects – some from the V5 Chicago By Night KS, and also the text from V5 Cults of the Blood Gods. So, a lot of excitement there! There was also a lot of interest from the Paradox/White Wolf team for us to run a Kickstarter for V5 Cults of the Blood Gods. Which is always nice to hear from the folks who are licensing you their properties!

In case it sounds like our crew were just there to hang out in our booth and chat, they also had the responsibility of representing Onyx Path in many meetings where the future of V5 and all the WW IPs was discussed. Again, this was an extremely positive experience for our duo, with just tons of ideas and possible projects coming out of those discussions!

Of course, being business meetings, there wasn’t anything I can share with you here, but I can say that the refocusing of White Wolf last year has seemed to have really altered how they are proceeding, and has borne fruit in a lot of new licensed projects folks are going to enjoy.

To switch gears slightly, but not totally as I did mention Kickstarters up above, we finished up the Deviant: The Renegades Kickstarter last week! Again, huge kudos to Eric Zawadzki for his nigh-constant efforts to answer everybody’s questions in the comments as the KS ran. He was indefatigable!

We’re pretty happy with how it turned out, and big thanks to all of your who backed and spread the word about this one! We hoped that running the Creature Collection at the same time wouldn’t collide our audiences too much, and it looks like both KSs ran just fine and without overwhelming potential backers.

We’re going to try to avoid running two KSs of similar size and that might have too large of an overlap of audiences, but we have so many cool projects and settings that folks want to see Kickstarted that they’ve been backing up until now. Now, we’re going to try and use our two KS accounts to give both us and all of you the flexibility to put a project on Kickstarter as we need to and when it makes sense to.

We have, as many folks have pointed our previously, an embarrassment of riches when it comes to our projects, which really starts with the large number of game lines we are always working on.

VtR 2e Spilled Blood art by Andrea Payne

Of course, that goes all the way back to when Onyx Path first started with the WW licenses. We didn’t just get the licenses to one of the WoD lines or CofD lines, we took on the responsibility of shepherding all the existing lines and on bringing forth new ones if that what was needed.

Plus, we brought over other WW game lines, and one of those (cough, Trinity Continuum, cough) had multiple lines within it as well. We took, and still take, those responsibilities seriously as we know that every line has dedicated, long-term, fans that truly love it.

It is a real juggling act, and we’ve tried to provide every game line, every setting, with a new project and the spotlight at least once, regardless of the number of fans, over these past 7-8 years. And the flip side is that we are actually a business, we need projects that sell more than what it cost to make them – if only so everybody we work with keeps being able to afford to keep on making TTRPGs.

So those projects that sell well get follow-up projects, and those are usually within a single line, and so that line gets more focus. Which is one of reasons I’ve pushed for cross-line projects like the Night Horrors books, the Dark Eras books, or even the Contagion Chronicle, for Chronicles of Darkness (our biggest umbrella line).

Helnau’s Guide to Wasteland Beasties art by Michele Giorgi

Which is why our brochure this year, which is days away from going to press, is set up to talk about each setting, each game line, rather than trying to push for particular projects within the lines. We’ll do that with con-specific flyers at the conventions we’re attending, and news on all our social media sites, but we’re going to have the brochure there as a primer on just which game lines we’re doing right now.

We think that we’re at the point where we need that info out there where folks can reference it and compare and contrast our:

Crime and Parkinson's The Jury is Out  Movement Disorders August 2018

Background

A recent murder trial in Belgium attracted widespread media attention and raised concerns within the Parkinson’s community. On trial was a 55-year-old man with a 14-year history of Parkinson’s disease (PD), who confessed to raping and then murdering two women and who attempted to victimize two further women in a similar way. His defence lawyers argued that pathological impulsivity caused by his dopaminergic treatment was responsible for his actions. Our aim here is to place this devastating case history in a broader perspective, highlighting the need to carefully judge a person’s actions against the background of a highly complex neuropsychiatric disorder like PD, its treatment and treatment-related side effects, substance abuse, and any premorbid character traits.

 The case

A full transcription of the case is not available to us, but several details became public as a consequence of the intense media interest. We share several potentially relevant items here. The accused was diagnosed with PD in 2004 (at the age of 41 years) and started treatment with pramipexole in 2010. He had abused cocaine and alcohol for several years prior to his neurological diagnosis and continued to do so throughout the disease course. Expert forensic psychiatric evidence provided in court described him as narcissistic, manipulative and antisocial. Throughout his life, he had numerous sexual relations with women and boasted about his stud-like sexual dominance. These premorbid personality characteristics worsened after PD was diagnosed.

 After his diagnosis of PD his cocaine use increased drastically and his sexual behaviour became more violent, including performing sadistic acts on his partners. This had occurred already years before the start of dopaminergic treatment. He was first arrested in 2014 after an unprovoked shooting incident, during which he randomly fired a bob gun at a woman. Prior to that, he had murdered an older lady, and unsuccessfully attempted to break into the house of another woman with the intention of killing her. Shortly after release from prison, he unsuccessfully assaulted another woman. He was finally arrested at the end of 2015 after murdering an ex-girlfriend in an extreme act of sadistic violence, which he had recorded on videotape. He confessed and admitted the planning of more homicides.

 In court, the defence argued that dopaminergic treatment had caused a change in behaviour, with obsessive thoughts, repetitive actions and hobbyism (playing with miniature train sets). They interpreted these as signs of an impulse control disorder and suggested a causal link with paraphilia and the urge to commit homicide. It is unclear from the media reports whether any attempts were made to modify his treatment. Nevertheless, some newspaper articles had sensational headlines, stating that the defendant "became a serial killer after intake of antiparkinsonian treatment". The forensic psychiatrists refuted the defence lawyers' arguments and stressed the accused’s premorbid sociopathic personality and the meticulous and premeditated planning of his crimes. He was found guilty of all charges and held accountable for his actions, and finally sentenced for life.

 Discussion

Regardless of the outcome of this specific trial, we consider it important to discuss whether this unfortunate case history might point to a larger and hitherto undetected problem, and address carefully whether a potential relationship might exist between PD and its treatment on the one hand, and aggressive behaviour – causing an urge to commit homicides – on the other.

 In contrast to other neurodegenerative disorders, such as frontotemporal dementia and Huntington's disease1,2, there seems to be no reason to suspect an overrepresentation of patients with PD in homicide statistics. Thus far, only a handful of cases have linked PD to aggression. The first was a case of unprovoked violence in a 77-year old man with a 10-year history of PD who was treated with dopamine receptor agonists3. His prior history mentioned a single episode of depression 20 years earlier. There were no previous bouts of violence or aggression. This patient violently attacked his wife with a knife. He was found to be hallucinating and confused, apparently due to self-medication with dopamine receptor agonists, attempting to improve his progressing motor symptoms. Cognitive testing suggested mild cognitive impairment. No further aggressive episodes were seen during follow-up, and confusion disappeared when his dopaminergic treatment was modified. The patient expressed remorse on what had happened. This report pointed to an unequivocal temporal relation with overdosing of dopaminergic agonists in the setting of drug-induced hallucinations and confusion.

 The second case involved serial pet killing by a patient with early-onset PD who was treated with high doses of pramipexole4. This patient had a longstanding prior history of psychiatric problems with drug abuse, depression, suicidal attempts and repeated aggression to others. He experienced his misdemeanour as an urge he could not resist, but also wanted to be helped and expressed remorse. His symptoms disappeared after switching pramipexole to levodopa and adding clozapine.

 We are personally aware of 1 more ill-documented case of severely violent aggression in a PD patient. It concerned a middle-aged patient, who was treated with a moderate dose of levodopa and a dopamine agonist for several years. This man attempted to kill his former girlfriend in an act of jealousy. The patient was cognitively intact and was not delusional at the time of the attempted homicide. A forensic psychiatric examination identified antisocial traits in his personality profile and presented evidence that these had been present before his disease. This patient was convicted to emprisonment (P. Santens, unpublished observations). Finally, one of us (A.J. Lees) is aware of two cases of attempted rape committed by patients with PD. There are also media reports of rape cases and a poorly documented homicide committed by an 82-year-old man with PD.

 Is it reasonable to suspect that criminal behaviour could reflect an impulse control disorder, as a side effect of dopaminergic medication? The presence of impulse control disorders following treatment with dopaminergic agents is well documented, occurring in up to 20% of PD patients over the course of their illness, with a preponderance of younger men, and especially those who demonstrated a premorbid tendency for impulsivity5. Compulsive sexual behaviour, leading to inappropriate actions such as repetitive masturbation, exhibitionism, voyeurism and an obsessive interest in pornography has been reported6. In addition, cases of paraphilia, including (transvestic) fetishism, have also been published7. Although a novel interest in violent sexual acts such as sadomasochistic sexual activity and strangulation are not usually included in this list, such rare cases with even penal consequences have been reported8. There are also rare reports of pedophilic behaviour in treated PD patients, but in these cases, insight seemed to be retained and the behaviour occurred against a general background of marked hypersexuality9. It remains to be established to what extent these sexually aberrant phenomena correlate with premorbid features and behavior.

Although impairments of social cognition have been found in PD10 and can be explained by existing models of basal ganglia dysfunction11, there is no unequivocal evidence for a severe disruption of moral decision making that correlates with dopaminergic treatment12. Further research in moral neuroscience is needed, but until new insights arise, there is currently no evidence that impulsivity caused by dopamine replacement therapy alone can serve as a valid defence in homicide cases. However, there is little doubt that this argumentation will be used by the defense in every case involving criminal activities by a patient with PD and dopaminergic treatment to suggest nonaccountability.

 There may be other possible explanations for a relation between PD and criminal (or other aggressive deviant) behavior. First, special attention should be paid to patients with detectable deterioration of cognition, in whom moral judgment might be impaired in the context of dementia. In these patients, aggression and violence may occur more easily, particularly among patients with a premorbid personality profile fitting with such aggression and violence. Second, psychotic episodes may severely disrupt the interpretation of reality and lead to acts of violence due to hallucinatory or delusional experiences.

 We conclude that violent and criminal behaviour in PD patients has been reported only scarcely. Although it is likely that this reflects its rare occurrence, we suspect that there is underreporting of these cases in the medical literature. We therefore urge the movement disorder community to report additional cases of violent criminal behaviour in PD patients whenever they are encountered. The interpretation of such behaviour in relation to the disease and its treatment should be done very carefully, and must include an analysis of premorbid personality traits, thorough investigation of the nature of the defective behaviour and an appreciation of the temporal relation with start of dopamine replacement treatment and any dose augmentations (and similarly, any improvements following dose reductions or cessation of treatment). We should avoid making generalizable statements concerning the relation between PD (and its treatment) with criminal acts to avoid unfair stigmatization of this already vulnerable population of patients, especially in this era of social media and rapid unfiltered diffusion of messages. Adverse publicity including headlines such as ‘Sick old man chases nurses round the ward’ delayed the widespread introduction of levodopa in the nineteen sixties, as the medication was viewed as a powerful drug that should only be used in specialist centers. Likewise, although we are beginning to overcome the harmful phobia for levodopa and other dopaminergic medications13, we should also avoid installing a new and unnecessary fear of dopaminergic medication among patients as this might lead to anxiety and avoidable disability. Meanwhile, however, clinicians should remain aware of behavioral alterations as a potential source of disability in patients with PD, and therefore evaluation and, if necessary, remediation of behavior should be considered an integral part of the follow-up of patients.
