I would like to talk about the Chronicles of Darkness game line Deviant: The Renegades, or more specifically, one major upcoming supplement. Deviant was released in late 2021, and has had three additional sourcebooks since then. A new supplement, Black Vans, has been in playtesting for a while, and is currently being previewed.I am not being paid or sponsored to promote this book in any way. I am just very fascinated by it, and indeed, I already ran a mini-campaign using the playtest material.Deviant is, by default, a game about playing angsty, scarred superheroes who either fight world-manipulating conspiracies or work for them. Black Vans is a toolkit full of variant rules, quick NPC creation, variant character types, and variant genres. These variants range from the minor to the dramatic, completely overhauling what were once non-negotiable, foundational themes and mechanics. Maybe your character is not angsty or scarred at all, perhaps they are a """""regular human""""" like John Wick or Batman, or the campaign might have nothing to do with world-manipulating conspiracies.These variant genres include cyberpunk, high fantasy, post-apocalypse, space opera, and superhero emergence.This is a beefy supplement. For example, one chapter alone dedicates 38,000+ words to playing other monsters of the Chronicles of Darkness: Beasts, changelings, demons, Sin-Eaters, hunters (entirely separate from the variant rules for """natural""" superpowers), mages, mummies, Prometheans, vampires, and werewolves. No additional supplements beyond Deviant are necessary; the rules are self-contained, allowing the group to play a monster mash of an urban fantasy setting without needing a daunting 7+ books. And yes, they are supposed to be balanced against one another, so a vampire in the same group as a full-fledged mage is probably some older Kindred.(Continued.)
>>97242591I mean, 2hu's posts are generally very well thought-through, but you need to be in the right mindset to engage with them.
Thanks for the thread, I told my usual ST about it but I'm also interested in maybe running it myself.
>>97249036You have a lot of material to work with. Are you interested in running a vanilla Renegades game, the assumed default? A vanilla Devoted game? One of the Black Vans variant genres? Something else entirely?What starting Standing/Threat Level were you considering?
>>97218287>and ParasyteNice. I kind of wish they'd made it full tilt "build-a-monster" body horror, a bit like Nechronica. I know "symbiote" is supposed to let me build Eddie Brock but I'd rather it was telling you not so subtly to build Alex Mercer, y'know?
>>97223439That's why I made an oWoD conversion of it.

>>97238715>Very disappointing that they would rather create a new 'pseudo vintage' format instead of supporting the existing one.I agree with the sentiment but I think you're still misunderstanding the situation a bit, turning explorer into "tournament pioneer" was feasible not just because the most important cards were already on the client, it was also because pioneer is the nonrotating format with the smallest card pool, there are only so many cards not on the client currently that could suddenly become competitive and force them to include them in a hurry, vintage isn't just the power 9 + banned legacy cards, it's the entire 30 year history of magic, the premise of turning timeless into "tournament vintage" is just completely beyond their scopehistoric exists because the timing of introducing pioneer was not coordinated with the arena team and the game needed a nonrotating format to deal with rotation and timeless exists because we kept getting cards banned in historic without having anywhere else to play them, neither of these formats were created with the idea of eventually transitioning into other formats, they're just results of arena having to deal with all the stuff they keep shoving into standard sets
What deck are you using to bully Izzet Lessons?

By CR 13 with stuff like Glabrezu many creatures start getting True seeing, blind fight, tremor-sense, life-sense. one burst of Faerie Fire and your blurs and displacement do nothing.

>>97250092Demon Circles abd soul hierarchy weren't a thing after Exalted changed Primordial metaphysical nature to one of Yozi.Before that happened, Primordial souls were closer to only untouched unmodified Primordial we know about, Gaia, and her souls are Elementals. Souls who are part of her yet also separate from her and eachother.Even Autochton changed hims status as Primordial as he turned himself into Autochtonia and his souls into gods and spirits of that world.
Reminder that Medicine literally doesn't do anything without charms.
>>97250268I don't think elementals are Gaia's souls, not even Elemental Dragons, and many of the current 3CDs and 2CDs existed before the Primordial War.

How do we fix Steampunk?
>>97248730Eh, maybe, but I doubt it.As long as the locals are implied to be inferior is someway (technological, culturally, etc) it will be seen as racist.And since the locals have to be inferior for colonizing to work, you will always have this issue.
>>97196423>How do we fix Steampunk?Add more cogs
>>97204405Looking at this image makes me angry beyond words, it shows what could have been and what the west has lost
>>97208930You would have a point if the game didn't explicitly describe why magick and tech are incompatible. Magick changes the laws of physics locally which can have disastrous effects on machines that require a very specific coefficient of friction, tensile strength, ideal gas law, mass, etc to function
>>97248704>Peoples just don’t know it because in the woke era no one is making a game that involves colonialism and features a predominantly white society.Greedfall exist you dumb nignog.

>>97250258Faceclaim for the crippled elder/Haoran's father. So xianxia style, old looking (most cultivators don't look old, so that part is technically optional, but I think him having aged significantly due to falling multiple cultivation realms is appropriate), preferably crippled and blind (Body 0 and Perception 0, but with techniques to make up for parts of that), outfit either cheap or dishevelled/damaged higher quality one, no weapons etc, preferably some thunder motifs. That's more of an ideal, but stuff below it might also be acceptable.>>97250261I don't know why, but it keeps trying to make a goblin out of him. The only decent one it made is pic related, which I might go with if I don't find anything better.

>>97247523Let’s be real. Most likely he didn’t ghost you. He probably died.
>>97249577So basically what I assumed. And this transience is one of the reasons I don't use discord.
>>97250099It could be worse. IIRC, depending on your country of origin, it's 2-3 years or so of inactivity before they blast your account. Given that things like Discord are usually used with great frequency by its users, like many other social media platforms, it would be pretty unusual for someone to completely stop using it for actual years. Generally, they would either have completely given up on the platform, been unable to use it for some reason (perhaps imprisonment), or deceased.

>>97247941about playing a social activity alone, lmao
>>97248488Retard
>>97243905>>97241980>>97245177Thanks for the advice, at its core I think I just need more experience with the system to be a bit more fair to myself with the TNs. Like, TN 12 for a skill check inherently feels low to me but that's supposed to be a very difficult task, even for a pro. Like a fucking idiot I'm treating these TNs like they're d20 and it's actually 2d6, and I'm naturally inclined to go high because I still feel kind of like I'm "getting away" with something because it's solo. I'll probably get over it once I get a few more games in; thanks for the sanity check.On a totally different note, how do you all handle extended social scenes? I've discovered I need to lean off the oracle a bit and that I probably don't need to consult it for every little thing, but I do still feel kind of trapped in a lot of talky scenes in my game so far. It's been a lot of "does this new NPC that the oracle introduced know anything about plot hook X? No, but... they want to talk about plot hook y" and I feel like it's burning me out a bit. Just interested in hearing some different perspectives on talkier scenes/games.
>>97249872>TN12>2d6So a 2.78% chance to succeed with no bonusesLol>extended talkingThe mythic article on that is great imo it’s in mythic magazine volume 58It really is just a lot of practice though. It will feel awkward until you do more of it
>>97250013Exactly, I felt like a massive idiot when I realized I was basically dooming my PCs except on boxcars since the system I'm using is stingy by nature with any sort of bonuses (even a +3 at first level would be very fortunate and would require a PC's best trained skill, their best attribute, and possibly some extra situational bonus). The real problem has been the natural urge to feel like I'm going to easy on the PCs since I'm technically controlling them too, but I'll get over it.I'll give that article a read. I'm not sure if I want to incorporate actual mechanics or oracles, but I am angling to find what works for me in terms of balancing "the NPC says X" and actual conversation. Right now I'm very much abstracting it, and it feels a bit lazy.

>>97224145I plan on drawing a big titty elf for no one in particular. I want her design to inform her class but I cant decide between Wizard and a Cleric. Suggestions?
>elf>big tits
>>97248970No flatties allowed.
>>97248981>no justice allowed
>>97248909That's easy. Wizards have big tits for storing mana, so they tend to be round, melon-like to maintain the least surface area for the volume. Clerics have big tits for milking, so they have almond-like shapes, easy to grab and suckle on.

How does this look for blade wear so far? I'm trying to ad some actual age to a Wight King's sword. So far I just cut into it with one scissor blade and cleaned/widened them a bit with folded sandpaper. Any suggestions for making look better and older would be great since this is the first time I'm trying to add damage on the actual plastic.
>>97250225that's a lot of damage for a sword, but you do have to exaggerate the effect for small models.
>>97250225the appearance is fine but you made a mistake in the planning. most of the damage should be on the edge that would be doing most of the cutting. it doesn't make sense to have so much damage on the false edge.
>>97250251To be fair to anon, it is a Wight's sword so that thing is at least a century old. Nicks everywhere is reasonable
>>97250225You can use your plastic glue to smooth out any spots that are still a little rough after sanding. Can also glue little bits of sand on some parts to really build up a corroded texture to paint later as well.
