Any advice for running a sewer "dungeon"? I'm trying to come up with different "rooms" in it
>>97395738some ideas

>>97395411There's still grey areas, like who or what Lilith is. Was she really made by God as the precursor to Eve? Is she also the Crone or is that a separate woman? Was she boned by God himself? Is she really the mother of Ennoia and if so, was Adam really the father? Did Churka really exist as Lilith's son and Ennoia's twin and is he the Ravnos Antediluvian or not? Is she the Scarlet Empress or is she the Lady of Fate, or is she both and/or neither?Even as the metaplot and the deep lore became more important, there's still heaps of question marks for STs to answer for their own games.
>>97395480Well yeah, but I said "started doing this". Vampire, the line least interested in grand cosmology and possibly the biggest advocate of unreliable narrator-itis, was still trending towards reducing the amounts of mysteries and question marks out there.
>>97395411Part of this is on the fanbase as much as the writers. Like, Houses of the Fallen, one of the very last oWoD books released, has 2 entirely different houses both make claim of having developed Lore of the Fundament, just as one example of unreliable narrators, but people still take the 'Ziana is totally Gaia' stuff, which isn't even stated for certain in there, as though the splat itself is saying this thing to have been 100% true.It's all just potential plot hooks and a people's own chronicling of their own history for you to play around with.
>>97395081It's best to stick with the lore of your main splat, trying to combine splat lore is more of a mess than trying to combine splats themselves.

>Black Legion no longer hard into Chaos worship, Abaddon sees himself as not a slave and is disdainful of the religious>Iron Warriors see relying on the Dark Gods as a weakness>Night Lords are edgy atheists>Emperor's Children don't care about Slaanesh specifically really, are just concerned with pleasuring themselves and being freaky. Fabius actively hates Chaos>Thousand Sons hate Tzeentch for fucking them and try to fuck him over when they can>Alpha Legion retconned to basically never having been religious at all >World Eaters are crazy and barely verbal anymore>Red Corsairs see relying on Dark Gods as weak and now have a whole cadre of troops that are "free" of Chaos influence>Only Word Bearers and Death Guard seem to actually venerate the Chaos GodsWhy are so few CSM actually religious anymore? Back in the day even your average Alpha Legion boy would be all FOR THE DARK GODS
>>97395150the warp does not experience time in a linear fashion, reality does, slaanesh's birth in reality is a fixed oint on the linear timeline but simultaneously slaanesh's existence in the warp is not, that's a quirk of warp physics, they did create slaanesh and you're a fucking secondary if you aren't aware of that very cemented lore.>>97395072they didn't literally call out the name of slaanesh, but they did come to believe in absurd heights of degeneracy as a lifestyle to the point where (like warfare) belief in the power of that degeneracy created a warp deity to embody it.
>>97395261>they didn't literally call out the name of slaanesh, but they did come to believe in absurd heights of degeneracy as a lifestyle to the point where (like warfare) belief in the power of that degeneracy created a warp deity to embody it.Yes that's the entire point, the gods don't care whether you believe in THEM as gods, only whether you believe in the ideologies that they feed on.
>>97395674your "point" is semantics, no belief = dead god, or in the quirky warp physics, a god that never existed.
>>97395681This entire stupid reply chain started with one anon saying>The gods exist whether you believe them or not.and another disagreeing. But yes, an atheist who has either never heard of Slaanesh or denies that Slaanesh exists is still feeding Slaanesh when they do degenerate hedonist stuff.
>>97395758not necessarily, it seems the distinction is wether or not the hedonism and degeneracy are an end rather than a means, lust and pleasure in both positive and negative form existed before slaanesh was birthed, so the mere acts are insufficient, likewise when daemonettes or nurglings engage in violence they are not being khornate, for them the violence is merely a means to the end of pleasure/disease/etc... whereas for a bloodletter or a berserker the violence is the purpose, so for slaaneshes birth the eldar were the first society that existed on a large enough scale collectively believing in hedonistic pleasures as the purpose of their existence to create an entity in the warp representative of that.

How would you humanize enemy mooks even if the players have to put them down at the end of day? How do you make it so that players leaving piles of corpses in their wake is not a trivial matter?
>>97395633>decidedAs already stated, I'm not much of a free-will-fag either. But the point is that I don't think gods and people are the same nor that they operate according to the same rules.>How could orcs as a group not been evil if orcs as individuals all are?I'm not sure about your tenses here, but I don't think that I have stated that there was a time where orcs as a group were evil but not as individuals. Re-read my post and/or correct your conjugation.>Why do you think that's a sensible way to interpret the line other than it suits something you already believe?You may not realize it, but that's actually how most people operate most of the time. It's called confirmation bias.
>>97395524>My point is that since I assume orcs to be ontological evilAnd that assumption is based on...?
>>97395524This seems like a long way of saying, "I started out with the belief that Orcs in Middle-earth are evil, and so reject anything that suggests otherwise while actively looking for things that confirm this belief".An a priori is you.
by making it a trivial matter.
>>97395665>I'm not much of a free-will-fag either...then why are you engaging with a story where free will is a foundational theme?

>>97394601You could use the Avatar method of plugin their neuronal tails together.
>>97394601first thing that comes to mind is just connecting/rewiring neural pathways in the machine's brain/neural clusterit's also possible to encode information into DNA (already being done IRL with significantly greater density than conventional electronic storage, albeit currently slower, more expensive, and less reliable), but as far as I understand, we don't know exactly how instinctive behaviors are formed/transmitted, and there's no conclusive proof of DNA being the vector
Is there any way a government could make stronger family bonds among the public, presuming they have enough knowledge and money?The purpose is to make people prize their family more so that said family can be held hostage for their good behaviour.

>>97367934Humans have the "women are wonderful" effect but applied to the entire race. Even the gods are biased in their favour, so humans take less holy damage. Every other race has a charisma penalty.

>>97392345That's a lot of weight on his shoulders. Does he keep creating new princess'? Or does he get ideas/concepts from others, and he draws them?What makes a V change over to the next number, once you reach a certain amount of characters? I suppose the original artists behind the project left due to reasons?
>>97392372He mostly draws princesses made by the community. I'm not sure if he ever made one purely by himself.So V3 has 5 main gens, 5 fan expansion gens, and multiple other unofficial gens. V4 is newer and is mostly redoing the V3 princesses in a new larger format. New art style, bigger cards that describe the whole nation. Gats made some of them and then Eversor has done most if not all the newer onesGats is the original creator of Towergirls and we have not seen him in years.
>>97390986Well done. Nice action pose!
>>97392296Thank you, that's kind of you to say Yah been about 9 years now. Time flies. Interesting enough, I learned about it from drawing in the /tg/ and /co/ drawthreads. Someone told me I drew similar to Towergirls and asked if I could come to the threads and draw some stuff. The rest is history. I've always had a love for character design work, this setting allows for so much freedom to explore unique aesthetics its been a blast to draw for.I've drawn for other fandoms, like Undertale, Monsterprom, Homestuck. But nothing has stuck as long as Towergirls has. (I have bluesky where a lot of my work is shown btw)>>97392345I've only been able to draw because of the amazing community around me and the talented writers and artists that continue to motivate me. Nyx, Guayo, Brutus, Blank....just to name a few are so amazingly gifted.>>97392601Getting suggestions from the community is what I live for. Sometimes I've leaned heavily to a character I wanted to do but for the most part its been the group consensus.
>>97395380You should do a pure 100% Eversor created princess at some pointAbout time after 9 years lol. I want to see what you might come up with

>>97384813Came here to mention this, but also that it doesn't really go hard into it, just has a light gesture towards the concepts but no depthful world building around middle eastern stuff. The dungeon heart mechanics are generic, the various downtime moves are generic, its lightly flavoured orientalist but meh.
>>97382755Fuck off, puckee.>>97370156How authentic do you want it to be? There is a good amount of old near east orientalist content, but cancel culture has killed it as a going thing.

Cyberpunk has suicide vests and Kalashnikovs but I think they shy away from the child brides and bestiality aspects. Might need WoD for that

Thread #02 Lean Winter on the TundraPrevious Thread: >>97090196Welcome to /un0/, an RP thread for playing a World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness Hunter. For any OOC questions about WoD/CofD, check the official general. >>97224887Rules:>We are acephale. There is no storyteller, we are not a quest.>This thread is based primarily but not exclusively in the nWoD/CofD game Hunter: the Vigil. However, Vigil is defined by being highly setting agnostic, with a system for creating entirely custom monsters that do not exist in other WoD/CofD games. Thus, you have significant freedom in what you want to play and what you want to hunt. Feel free to play a member of the Society of Leopold, or a member of the Lucifuge hot on the tail of a Lasombra.>Namefagging is encouraged but by no means mandatory.>Keep in mind that even highly experienced Hunters typically only have fractured pieces of the puzzle, and every table has their own canon. The night is dark and full of misinformation.>/un0/ is conceived of as an experimental end to end encrypted program that is very hard to compromise, retains very little data and purges that data regularly. Please play an actual Hunter.>Spoiler any OOC discussion.Happy hunting. Unless this thread somehow takes off like a rocket, this will be the last un0 thread for the foreseeable future. Towards the end of the thread, please give your feedback in regard to these shorter, limited run RP threads.
>>97390685Well, I'd reckon that it's because blood's the thing that keeps us alive. Lose too much blood, you die quick. In a scientific sense, it's possibly the single most valuable substance in our body in terms of keeping us fit and fine. If it holds up scientifically, then applying magical thinking, it might as well be pure life given liquid form. That's why it always has to be blood. Anyway, Duquesne weren't a vampire, but he did work with a cult. Demonic one.
>>97395267>but he did work with a cult. Demonic one.Not that surprising. Many are willing to give up their souls and enter servitude for a sliver of demonic power. Nothing is worse than a demon, best to destroy these cults as quickly as possible.
>>97395310Preaching to the choir my friend. Back around 200 years ago, there was a huge cult of a very old demon killing people every new moon. It's what got my family into the hunting profession in the first place. Nowadays, we pride ourselves on being a demon-free community. We actually still have the muskets they used back then as family heirlooms. Only really good as a wall-hanger, but an important piece of history. My ancestor's hunting knife gets passed down from father to eldest son, though we've needed to have it restored two separate times.
>>97395356Glad to hear that there are dedicated demon hunters out there. From what I know most hunters out there need to realise demons are very much real and dangerous. I'm no demon hunter myself but I know a few, they also go after wizards and such.
>>97395427We hunt more than just demons and their worshippers, but that'd be a specialty. I'm surprised to hear that most hunters you've met are skeptical about demons. Once you know there's things out there in the night, demons seem like a logical assumption. I'm hardly a religious scholar, but I'm pretty sure most cultures have something you could call a demon.

>>97390886Yes, that's right, but you still need unpossessed chaos space marines with same marks to keep the demons on table. Very expensive way to get to play demons, I don't recommend it. Just take banner that adds summoning points instead.
