And there it is. Honestly, if you want a quick and dirty: Make a Slasher and then give them sufficiently sci-fi themed dread powers, and maybe a 6 or 7 in a physical attribute.

>Do you include sexual themes in your campaign and stories? Which ones (be explicit)?

I do, but there's an important tightrope to walk. Creating a completely sexless world is untrue to life, and entirely removes one of the core human motivations and experiences. Sex, love, romance, heartbreak, not to mention the more sordid things. At the same time, you have to remember you're playing a game with your friends. Friends who probably don't want to engage in fake sex with their bro. Thus, you need to constantly be reading the room and understand where the discomfort limits are for your players, not to mention yourself.

For example, both genuine love and simple lust are fairly commonly occurring themes and plot points in the games I run. As a player, I make sure to have a solid grasp on my character's sexuality, as well as their thoughts on love and commitment. However, I don't share any of the details. If it is relevant to the plot to know exactly when a character is having sex, I won't go into any detail. The relationship surrounding the act, even an unhealthy one, is where the actual meat of the story is.

I have even, as ST, included sexual assault/rape, but I'm not going to really detail it. Merely inform that the sordid deed has taken place. I've never inflicted it on a player, nor would I intend to actually do so, though I've certainly had characters that are rapey, and I've had a few threats of rape happen to my characters. In every case it's not to titillate, it's to horrify. To establish a character's depravity and beliefs, or lack thereof. A callous and degenerate attitude towards sex can define a character, in the same way that a character being in genuine love, or misplaced lust, can really make a story pop.

I also have a habit of making good social characters in WoD, and as a result they tend to invariably end up in relationships. Not even intentionally most of the time.

Been working hard on some drawings for an rpg party. I took a black and white style inspired by manga, but I ended up having a lot of help by taking inspiration from classic WoD drawings.

You just gotta lock in. Personally ive never understood therapists. All they do is tell you what you already should know about how to solve your problems. People just lack the ability to self start these days. Most people know what needs doing they just dont want to get it done and seek out validation to not do it.

My experience with WoD (mostly Vampire) is that there's a lot of it happening, but it's never described in much detail, exactly because it's understood as integral part of the world and not really worth elaborating upon.
Also a question of your stance on graphical descriptions of violence and body horror, where do you draw the line between being just edgy and when it becomes sexual.

Therapists work but...it really depends on the therapist. Personally I went to see a therapist who had history dealing with PTSD in soldiers as her credentials and it was the first time in my life I truly felt seen. She could see right through me and we could pretty much pinpoint the reason I felt miserable(anxiety and depression and potentially some trauma). It helped me a lot in the end but you're right that you need to take the first step yourself, no one else can do that

You might have taken a wrong turn. You do know this franchise has always been a slut for capitalism, right?

>>98504928
It is something a player builds up over time and can exchange for certain bonuses. I can definitely see it as a related concept.

>>98504928
Most common way of gaining Quickening is by rolling a 10.
Most common way of spending Quickening is by adding another die to your dice pool.

There's a few other rules surrounding Quickening but those are the key ones. The more dice a player rolls, the more 10s they are likely to roll, which means the more dice they can roll. It's a win-more mechanic to make players feel powerful and pat them on the back for rolling 10s.

I dont need a doctor to tell me im bleeding. I dont need a doctor to tell me to eat right and exercise. I dont need a doctor to tell me my back hurts after a long day of work. Mental problems can only be solved yourself. You cant ask someone else to stitch together your psyche from your dad swinging a beer bottle full force into youre head when you're twelve, you do that yourself. The mind is a solitary place, and no one else can join you in there. Sure, you can talk about your problems to other people like your wife, family or friends but theres only so much outward expression can do for an internal problem. I can bitch about my back or a pinched nerve on my shoulder as much as I can bitch about my traumatic childhood and abusive parents and my wife or a doctor is equally unable to do anything to fix them. The doctor will say to take some anti-inflammatory medicine and do some stretches. I can diagnose that shit myself.

Now that being said, surgeons, medical specialists, and psychologists actually have a purpose. If youre psycho or schizo or whatever, by all means seek help, you got some degenerative disease? Get a doctor. If you are depressed and have anxiety? Lock the fuck in.

Nta but my friend and me once played incestuous (lesbian) twins. He made a stuck up goth toreador and I was a peppy brujah. She was groomed for the embrace by her sire while I was a revenge embrace because my sire hated my friend's sire. Sometimes we pretended to be eachother which came in handy because early on my sire blood bonded me so he wasnt expecting "me" to stake him (I focused potence and presence while my friend focused celerity, auspex, and a dash of presence). Our preferred hunting method was luring people thinking they were getting lucky by scoring hot twins (or at least two similar looking prostitutes). We would make out and have fun before one of us drank from the prey and the other drank from the one feeding. We had one complication when the guy thought we trying to drug and rob him (the fact we were not really drunk made him suspicious). He pulled a knife which got turned on him and made a bloody mess.

"Pull yourself up by your boot straps" started out as an ironic saying. If you are laying down it's literally impossible to pull yourself up into a standing position by pulling on your own boot straps. It was originally used to point out to someone that everyone needs help and there are somethings that are impossible to deal with alone. Then, grifters who wanted to push products told you that you don't need community. You don't need help. You need this product I'm selling you to be complete. That's what "lock in, my gigachad looksmaxxer" rhetoric comes from and can be boiled down to.

but for some god forsaken reason this is called "heavy depression" even on paper (the doctor code in germany is F32.3 but good luck telling that to someone) so everyone i talk about this just thinks that i should just work on myself and ditch the pills and the doctor and just be happy

Anon has a point. I went to school for it I dropped out about mid way through and one of the fundamental things we learned was that it wasnt our place to fix the problem, we were there to help provide tools and an alternative perspective to help people work through their own problems. Some people were simply never taught how to work through their problems or cant seem to break out of a certain frame of mind. Dont get me wrong, there are definitely extreme cases where you definitely need to talk to someone like severe trauma or AODA, but for the most part people can solve a lot of their own problems if they actually took the time to.

I once encountered a woman in the wild having an emotional breakdown. I calmed her down, bought her a water she was a little drunk and I wanted to sober her up a little., got her to start talking about her issues, shared similar stories and perspectives, helped her figure out a flow plan to move forward, and sent her on her way. In her case, she was in crisis and just needed someone to pull her back to earth and help weigh her options. I couldnt fix her issues with her family but I could help her figure out what options were best for her. She showed up at my job a few weeks later and gave me the biggest hug which made my coworkers think I scored a sexy asian. Great day, wished I knew in advance because my autistic ass just stood there surprised big warm squishy tits were being pressed against me.

Yes. Many and varied scenes have happened at our table. Which is a group of men and women, surprisingly no troglodytes, or liberals, so no gross fat ugly bastards, trannies pushing weird shit, closet cases, sexual deviants in general, or ugly foids that desperately seek vicarious erotic catharsis through roleplay because no one will fuck them IRL.

That being said we talk about sex and sexual topics a lot. We are mature about it, sometimes giggly, but we separate ourselves from our characters a lot and we dont go into graphic detail. It seems weird not to and WoD has a LOT of sex in it. Hedonistic ceremonies to bring about dark powers, vicious rapists preying on the city's women, love, spontaneous flings, jumping the doorman so others can sneak through, even fucking the big bad villain on her own dark alter because according to my character "she looked like she needed a good fuck to make her forget all that"... and it worked, though one of the other player's (female) character (also female) that was helping him in seducing the priestess killed her pretty much immediately after the MFFF, which was NOT my character's plan at all. Women are jealous creatures i guess.

it's not that the medical system is wrong it's kinda just you and probably the people in your surrounding

depression is not the same as being depressed

Depression is actually a familly of mental diorders like major depressive disorder (MDD), Persistent depressive disorder (PDD), Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and even Bipolar disorder (previously called manic depression)

so you should never say that you are depressed because that's a mood no YOU HAVE DEPRESSION (nicht ich bin depressed sonder ich habe depressionen) you should also not share your diagnostic code because it says that you have major depressive disorder with psychotic features also known as psychotic depression which is certainly not even what a layman thinks about when they are talking about depression so you might want to say that you have psychotic depression instead but that's something you not obligated to share even with your employeer which is why our Grad der behinderung (i don't know the english term for that if there is one) only gives them a percentage and a set of protections you get (in exchange they get part of your pay from the state and some extra boni if they hire several people with it)

Dunno about WoD but in CofD he's easy to stat as a Deviant. Give him Regeneration 5 so he has a healing factor so good he comes back from death and make the attached Scar a compulsion to go on murderous rampages. Other than that give him sky-high Attributes and combat skills and you're set.

don't know the character but risen can come back to live (for the lack of a better term) as long as the body isn't fully destroyed and are considered illegal terrorist in the afterlife and all wraiths can be argued to have a fragmented soul

Risen seems... More likely, but the technology themed nature of his revivals feels different.

>>98505382
Difference is that Hank actually has a soul and remembers his deaths

>>98505389
Also, he technically did cause a Wasteland, but it was because some dipshit set off the Improbability Drive.

>>98505384
yeah if the character is technology themed than i would also go with deviant

these guys have cyborgs and now with the players guide robots and stuff and like the other anon said can have regeneration high enough to come back to life a few times

Ok to be fair MAG Hank could be argued to be a promethean you're right, but before that he's basically just a super zombie
>>98505384
Honestly a very physically focused Risen makes sense, his only ''technological revival'' we've seen is him becoming MAG Hank, the others we see happen in 7 when he gets zapped back to life by the higher powers

>>98505399
From what we know of Hank, he just gets revived when you put his body back together and patch it up before doing some weird hacking the afterlife voodoo.

So I was thinking of having Lycaon king of Arcadia be the progenitor of the Greek Gangrel since they are also called by his name. Though I still haven't figured out what his story would be exactly here are my ideas so far:

>He's an Abomination embraced by Ennoia(I read that abominations can't embrace but since he's 4th gen he may be able to bypass that)
>Originally a Black Fury Garou, he's one of their greatest shame and a reason as to why they are misandrist
>At one point embraced Diogenes the Cynic since Greek Gangrel are also referred to as Dogs so I felt that'd make sense. He now mostly wanders around the Balkans and Turkey as a random homeless man or a stray dog
>Since Lycaon was the king of Arcadia maybe the Fae could have a role in his story? idk

I was thinking it'd be similar to the old myth but with Ennoia instead of Zeus, Lycaon would serve her his son as an actual guest gift and she would decide to embrace him for some reason.

>>98505399
>>98505397
>>98505382
Here's what we know of Hank's revivals
>He goes to "The Other Place" when he dies and leaves a fragment behind most of the time when revived
>The Retainers of the Other Place HATE him because he just massacres everyone he can

>>98505408
you could flip it
ennoia embraced him as reward for offering his son and general being a good host to the antediluvian but obviously people wouldn't think that. from their point of view a "god" came to visit -> the king feed his son to the god -> king get's turned into a monster

I think a Risen with the necessary Arcanoi to Rise and then the Celerity and Potence disciplines could work? Maxed out strength,dex,stamina and combat skills. I'm not sure if fortitude fits because while he has tanked some hits that would've knocked out other character he's generally quite fragile and dies to a headshot

why would hunters kill random innocent people just because the have a good fashion sense?

Is there a way to keep changelings interesting?
I know there's two different versions.
Dreaming is people trying to keep their imagination and their whimsy alive while facing cold hard iron reality or else they'll get Alzheimer's and dementia.

And lost Is about living with the fact that they were abused by higher powers. I heard that one person explained it as grown adults dealing with child abuse from magical fairy nobles.

Anyway, if the game series is not good how would you fix it?

>>98505515
I feel like you could do a metaphor about false community with it. Like, a lot of people who are gay will tell you they don't feel like they belong in The Queer Community or mixed race people don't feel welcome in either parent's community. Just because you've got this cool unique thing about you, doesn't mean you'll get along with other's who have that same thing. Play up the changling drama in keeps a lot and how people are always trying to cancel each other over petty shit and how changelings don't really feel comfortable in either world. There are new changelings raised with a lifetime of puritan logic than means anyone who makes you uncomfy is secretly evil and you've just gotta prove it. You just gotta make a Google document exposé that's effective enough and you'll Win(tm) at being a changeling. Something that's normal to want, and possible to achieve.

>>98505555
I just can't call it changeling. Changelings are fey that replace humans. Humans that get taken to the fey realms aren't changelings. As cool as Chronicles lore can be this is a problem for my autism. What's next? Wraith, a game where you play as normal humans who just summon the ghosts actually. Like, can a Lost changling awaken as a Mage? It's still a human at the end of the day. If anything, a changling in lost is way more aware of how reality works than a Mage since all changlings by default lived in the umbra for decades if not centuries.

Do any of you know what are the must have disciplines to survive without ghouls or a social network as a vampire? For example, Beckett who is probably plot device incarnate travels from place to place, but I have no idea if he has ghouls, haven, and so on to protect him when he sleeps? I know protean allows you to merge with stone but do you need more than that?

You have three options.

The hobo build. Learn Earth Meld or create combination disciplines similar to Bagman's Shelter. Earth Meld alone can do the job. Though I would recommend creating combos like Guardian Vigil to make yourself safer.

The alert cave dweller build. This is World of Darkness, there are Elder Tunnels everywhere, full of vampires, Ancient Vampires, ghosts, ancient monsters etc. If you are in any place that has some kind of history, odds are there are tunnes and catacombs underneath it you can use to travel between regions of the world.
This is dangerous because you are not the only...thing inhabiting those tunnels and if you are unlucky, you might just stumble across a Methuselah's haven or Nemean Lion's den and die. Or end up in the Hollow Earth.

The teleporting menace. Learn stuff that allows you to teleport all over the world. Thaumaturgy has the Path of Mercury. Obtenebration and Abyss Mysticsm, both has ways to make distance meaningless.

>>98505670
Well, it's got this thing that just released for free called a playtest alpha. If you play it you can send the company notes on things that can be changed for a final full release. I'm interested in seeing the design change over time in response to this feedback, since I enjoy seeing the process of creating. Even if I don't like parts of it and end up not sticking to it forever, I'm still interested in doing something different for a short time.

the naivety is adorable but no, they're not gonna do that. public alpha's like this are always marketing campaigns, they're not gonna make the mayor changes necessary to make this shit decent, at most they're gonna change names and adjust numbers. but for the sake of argument if, hypothetically, the devs do make the mayor changes based on player feedback: the meta currencies are one of the more reviled aspects of this playtest and they're gonna be one of the first things that'll be scrapped.

>>98505709
I've seen them be very controversial for sure, but there are also some loud defenders. I mostly see them on Tiktok and Twitter, which might not be where WW is looking, though I assume they're filling out the feedback forms as well. Either way, I'm excited to see how things shake out. Will the meta-currency be removed? Adjusted? How so? It's exciting in it's own way.

So pretty much all the options require a degree of specific clan disciplines in order to safely travel. Getting Obtenebration, Path of Mercury and or Abyss Mysticism pretty much seems like a good luck. Protean kinda depends on the gm because they assume most people only want the feral claws. Guardian Vigil though should be possible though. Auspex is so common for other players to have that usually it's not hard to get at least one level.

How come werewolves are anti-wyrm if they're supposed to want balance? I get it's gone made during it's imprisonment, or whatever, but how can you end the weaver's iron grip on reality without letting the wyrm out to destroy current systems like pentex?

>>98505839
Wyrm went from normal destruction (say, a volcano or an earthquake) to evil destruction.

>>98505839
The Wyrm's gone a bit crazy
We can talk metaphysics all we want but the world is dying due to excessive destruction
You combat destruction through the preservation of what exists and the creation of new raw material. Focusing too much on preservation causes your current state of entropy to become static, ensuring permanent suffering.

>>98505856
Werewolves don't combat distruction though. They combat the exploitation of nature. They are known for destroying. If anything, they're more wyrm coded than they want to admit.

Without supernatural abilities, do gms make the medicine skill useful in general in most chronicles? Sometimes the skill seems kinda redundant at times.

>>98505877

He was objectively right, however.
This site doesn't offer 'criticisms', only mean-spirited jabs with the intent to wound the person, not create a better product or refine the idea.

It means what happened is what always happens: people saw people other than themselves having fun and came over to ruin it purposefully. Why interact with a group like that in any serious way?

Right.

Some of you probably remember me piping up about writing some Ananasi stuff, namely a fanfic where a guy is reborn as a spider-Ananasi.

Well, here you go

forums.spacebattles.com/threads/the-tapestry-and-the-work-world-of-darkness-human-into-spider-reincarnation.1325755/reader/

The premise is somewhat simple. A guy has some memories of his past life (either non-WoD world or the oWoD world) and wakes up in an egg sack as a redback spiderling. Escapes from a Magadon Incorporated laboratory with the help of Queen Ananasa (who becomes interested in the MC because he basically has two souls inhabiting one body.)

There's some spirit stuff (as is proper) and multiple different PoVs.

There might be some ESL moments (I'm from Scandinavia) and some past-present tense fuckery I haven't yet fixed.

If you do end up reading, do tell me what you think.

>>98505977
>a guy is reborn as a spider-Ananasi.

>Do you include sexual themes in your campaign and stories? Which ones (be explicit)?
Surprisingly very little in the games I've played. Lots of nudity, but any sexual activities tend to be glossed over and shoved into the background. It's mostly because my ST and most of my friends preferred to focus on high-level city politics due to their LARP experience, so the more intimate or personal stories and projects were out of focus. Happening but mostly a footnote in the chronicle.

One of my buddies stole the vampire theater bit from Interview with the Vampire, but as a BDSM performance. Most the male members of Bleu's cult/herd joined because they wanted to fuck their sexy professor, but the sex and orgies were just the initial lure before moving onto the rest of Set's lessons. Stuff like that.

>>98505970
Yes, 4chan does overwhelmingly lean on mean-spirited jabs and shitposts than effortpost but there's rarely any attempt to actually spare the recipient's feelings unlike on reddit or discord where the air of civility is often a self-censor (unless you wrongthink) towards actually providing the type of feedback someone might want. Yeah you have to sift through more shit here but there may come better feedback later.

A bigger problem here is yandere dev is s controversial figure for a lot of reasons and no doubt that post is an aspect of his victim mentality manifesting.

I also find that 4chan is more interdisciplinary and cerebral than reddit no doubt because sounding like a gay nerd without being known is one is probably many a person's fantasy, but I prefer it that way

>>98506021
They're so fucking smart it beggars belief. They recognise not only other individuals of their own species AS specific individuals, it's thought that they might even recognise people too, hence why they're good spider pets.
These little motherfuckers can give humans a run for their money when it comes to judging space, speed and distance. And they attach a little bungee chord before every jump just to be safe.
They'll intercept prey when it leaves their line of sight by taking other routes to ambush them, and display a few other crazy traits of memory for a creature so small.

They're Ananasa's favourite little guys, for sure. All that's stuff that's just exceptional about general jumping spiders, not specific species and discounting all the stuff that makes spiders incredible in general.

This is making excuses for people being unwilling to practice the bitch basic social graces you learned on the playground at 6 years old. It serves only the worst people on the site, not the median.
>you have to sift through more shit here but there may come better feedback later
A lot of extra work for the possibility alone of gain, doesn't make the extra work viable. Add to that the posters who are straight out lying just for a 'I trol u' moment, and you have an obvious case for a reason to seek feedback elsewhere.

It's a lot easier and more reasonable to oppose what looks like needless destruction to you, than it is to determine what is too much structure and stasis, followed by figuring out how to dismantle it in favour of a more dynamic, spontaneous existence without causing unnecessary harm and tilting the balance towards the Wyrm.
There's also the fact that the Garou Nation swore to leave humanity to their own devices and only interfere when they are harming the world with their actions, out of guilt over everything that they did during the Impergium. This makes it very difficult for werewolves to interfere with the systems and structures of human society without defying the Concord.

The malevolent, twisted Wyrm has taken advantage of this by infesting the structures of humanity and the Weaver and tainting them with destructive, consuming tendencies. While the Garou are able to identify these corrupted systems as threats to Gaia, they're not able to destroy them without also doing damage to the parts of the world that have become dependent on those systems - and if they're left intact, they do damage anyway.
