It is ultimately the same d10-based dice pool game as Chronicles of Darkness in general, for good or for ill.

Resource-management-wise, Deviants have no "Mana" pool. Instead, they work off 1/scene, 1/chapter, and in some cases, 1/story abilities. (Almost like D&D 4e.) However, each Clade has a method of instantly recharging abilities.

Black Vans' earlier chapters introduce ways to adjust dice rolling, such as by allowing automatic success under certain conditions.

>>97281142

The Player's Guide to the Contagion Chronicle actually has a small section on crossing over Deviant and Hunter specifically, though this was not written by Eric Zawadzki.

Eric Zawadzki did, however, write Black Vans, which has a much larger and comprehensive section on crossing over Deviant and Hunter.

Fuck, dude. I completely forgot about that show. Now that I think about it, the Demon: the Descent campaign I ran a while ago accidentally had a bunch of Pete & Pete shit in it, from taking place in a small town full of weirdos that was weirdly isolated from the rest of the world and strangely without place to seemingly everything in town being owned or manufactured by a monolithic corporation with robotic, unsettling employees.

How much has my lens for perceiving World of Darkness been informed by Nickelodeon shows from the 90's?

As explained here >>97217944, the game cares about five "Clades," Cephalists, Chimerics, Coactives, Invasives, and Mutants. Beyond this, the game does not bother distinguishing magic and super-science from one another; they are essentially two sides of the same coin. Even in-setting, the lines between magic and super-science are very blurry.

Here are some examples of various flavorings for powers: >>97242552

Even then, two characters within the same Clade might have wildly different flavor. A Coactive could manipulate quantum mechanics, or they may be an outright wizard. An Invasive might be a cyborg, but they could just as easily be the bearer of a cursed blade instead.

>What level of space opera are we talking about? Only psykers like star wars and starcraft or space magic?
Given the sheer diversity of Clades, it is closer to a kitchen sink space fantasy setting than anything. You can play a Chimeric space druid or a Coactive space wizard just as easily as an Invasive space cyborg or a Mutant bioweapon.

In the 2500's their worlds were densely populated, heavily industrialized supported by a booming mining industry. Having a lot of planets doesn't for shit if most of them are populated by a guy with a rake named Bob and his pet seagull named Alan.
>>97283433
>On the ground Taurians were lagging way harder.
>>97283447
In practice yes but its a lot more complicated.
Rim Worlds was quite strong with a decent military and industry but it was aligned with the SLDF so it wasn't going to help out. When the Reunification War did happen they descended essentially into a civil war over it.
Magistracy of Canopus were strong in medical science and had a very strong economy but that didn't translate to them having a strong industry to fall back on nor did they invest heavily on a strong military. So when the Reunification War did break out they did what they did best; spread their legs, welcome the invaders aboard and when the invaders guard was down gave them a pegging that fucked their economy up.
Outworlds Alliance were an agrarian society essentially with a non existant military or industry. The best they had were a bunch of kids throwing snowballs at some Dracs. Ended up more as a proxy war between the Davions and Dracs with the Outworlders being caught in the middle.

>>97282608
Reminder that anyone who says they wouldn't is gay

>>97283447
Asteroid mining needs a lot of highly trained specialists with access to interplanetary shipping and all the tech that entails. Can you see Dracs or even FedSuns allowing something like this? Dracs would sooner murder everyone than allow peasants to have access to machines capable of destroying military bases or tools capable of producing something like this without strict supervision.

Taurians were built around it.

Taurian delusions get stronger with every Tex video. Two more videos and they start telling people they won the reunification war.

>>97283546
Hegemony kinda had all the Taurians had only like 10 times more. The only thing that was slowing them down is absolutely ridiculous levels of investment into bizarre projects and design by committee that resulted in shit like Essex coming out the other side.

Sorry no one thought your "joke" was funny :(
Guess pretending to be retarded didn't work out for you.

Currently working on a Krark the thumbless Jund strategy inspired by Catch-22.
Basically "what is good for me is good for the syndicate and everyone owns a share".
So right now I am looking for cards that look like they benefit the group, but primarily benefit me, cards like wheel of fortune, cards that let the players buy into my ponzi scheme and big spells that kill anyone with kindness or just generally go well with the high stakes high variance nature of the deck.
Any recommendations for cards in Jund that lets me exploit my friends for maximum profit?

I think the game's entire color identity is archaic as fuck and that locking essential game mechanics behind colors was extremely retarded design that would've resulted in the instant death of any other tcg made after mtg. Green is the best color because it has reasonable access to the two most important game mechanics, ramp and draw, albeit it handles draw the way it should've been for every color from the start by making it conditional based on what the color generally tries to do (big creatures).

The mechanics of the Magic are solid but the design of the color pie and colors themselves is mega shit and if it weren't for the fact it was the first tcg and has a playerbase of sunk cost pay pigs who have turned this game into their intended retirement plans Magic would've folded years ago due to how badly designed its actual color pie and mana system is. I hope someone can finally figure out to just copy Magic's rules but make a better color pie and mana system so mtg finally dies and we can all move onto playing something better.

It's a thread about ALL OSR games, hence the name "OSR General". The fact that you're bitter that your fave isn't old-school doesn't change that in any way.

>>97280846
No young fren, I was there when osr was nascent. I had no real need for it. I had my old rule books so didn't need the reprints. Only reluctantly played 3e, even then our DMing and playing was old style in tone even with all those silly feats. Not sure why my friends adopted 3e rules, maybe cult of the new.
I was here when people made the first osr generals. Outside of some trollish 4channers, and apparently outside of your blogger's head as he's wrongly conflating things, osr still means what it meant.
Your opinionated little blogger hero doesn't get to redefine "osr" to suit his means. He's engaging in revisionism and I reject his attempt. Even if 2e was not, as in his opinion it isn't, "old school" it was and is part of osr and has been for 21 years or more.
While it's nice to read him admit Cook wrote frames for modules, though unfortunately mistakenly trying to equate this with railroading, and that
>such a thing isn't really different from several treasured modules released earlier
he has the rather poor and wrong opinion that
>module tells you to place an encounter at a certain point in time
is bad. There's no real difference between a dm deciding to reschedule, omit or add an encounter all on his own, whether for a module or own adventure, and a dm deciding to do that based on advice from a module. It's called being clever, wise, adaptable.
In a footnote he adds
>I'm not arguing that the old-school method is the one true way to play D&D, though it's the one I prefer.
but the trouble is he's talking about "the old school" when there wasn't a universal and monolithic "the old school" and old school isn't synonymous with old school renaissance.

Yuyu>Akina for cardfights. Yuyu catches enough Ls to keep him somewhat interesting during cardfights and his deck has actual variance in what its doing by design, even if his xod lists get foul

Akina>Yuyu for character. Yuyu failed to do in six cours what Akina did in three, who also doesnt get shafted by Tohya Mirei and Danji in the character department at the same time

>>97275579
I honestly fucking hate Danji as a character. So much fucking wasted potential and hia development fucking sucks. He starts off as this cool big brother type with a hidden backstory and mysterious motivations. But the more you learn, thr worse it gets. He ends up being a shitty person with little actual substance or justification for his terrible behavior. He's just annoying now.

whats supposed to be the higher rarity in SVE? SP or SL?

>>97283300
I mean, as long as you survive it's not a bad deal (become 4th gen, be a blood doll for some time).

Come to think of it, if the regular Ventrue feeding restrictions apply to their antediluvian, that'd mean he'd be able to get vitae from human blood, right? It wouldn't make any sense to have a refined taste that doesn't actually give you vitae
Would that make him the only ante that can feed from humans?
But his actual refined taste is probably something really bad, like can only feed from world's top 2 richest people or such

>>97283348
I thought all antes could drink from humans in the beginning? Sure, as they got older the desire/need for the forbidden drink became stronger, but by then ventru was already actually dead.

>>97283242

This is a bad thread. The sheer amount of spam overtook whatever potential this thing could've had.

Even the OP took off.

As a lore fag, this is the biggest W of them all.

The current Caliph is Alef al-Harbiniya residing in Dajaaj which is an ancient capital of a long gone cat empire

>>97275912
I think I'm too far on the opposite end, where I'm so abnormal I'll sit at a table by myself for hours just testing mechanics I'd enjoy in games, because I'm not going to ever get mechanics like those sitting with a group "game", and my friends aren't interested in tabletop games that aren't casual card games like UNO or Cards Against Humanity.
But you're so fucking right about being able to make time for something you love; most people just like to flake and make excuses. I get maybe two days to myself if I'm lucky, and I still find time to either develop mechanics or test them.

I agree

That's also something that annoys me a lot. Players sign up for a game weeks in advance, then, one or two days before the session they sent a message: "I forgot my aunts birthday. Can't join the session." Fuck you! I spent hours writing a story, integrating the characters, preparing props. It really makes me want to drop the hobby.

What if i don't care and just take the thread as an excuse for talking about conan because i think he's cool, huh?

>>97283317
Well he did rock bangs like no other man ever could. Neither Schwarzenegger nor Mamoa even tried. Sorbo did though(Kull isn't Conan but you get it).
>>97281870
Since we are talking about games, PCs in Conan 2d20 are surprisingly competent combatants but fear(threaten) attacks, that horrors do very well, sometimes without even using an action throught the Fear X trait, can absolutely shred them in one round.

Lovecraft's protagonists are usually intellectuals. They're highly educated individuals with a lot of knowledge regarding the inner workings of the universe and the nature of society. They lose their minds not because the monsters project a supernatural insanity field that makes people go crazy, but because they realise that a great deal of their knowledge is built on falsehoods and that the universe is far larger and far stranger they ever thought. Their entire identity as educated men disintegrates and the world as they know it is destroyed. So, they lose their minds.

Take someone less cerebral who doesn't give a fuck about how things work, who isn't curious or informed about the universe, who just accepts the current state of affairs and adapts to it, whatever it might be. This caveman survivalist would take on deep ones without giving a fuck about how they are supplanting humanity and violating our entire species. He would see Cthulhu as another terrible monster like an orca or a polar bear, some great beast to be feared but not as a sign that his entire reality has been built on a lie, so he wouldn't go insane. He would take one look at non-euclidean horrors and assume that they just look funny and behave in strange and unusual ways, rather than lose his mind over this flagrant disregard for the rules of physics as he understands it.

The more intelligent you are and the more you value your intelligence, the more vulnerable you are to Lovecraft's horrors. Conan has the perfect incurious, action-over-intellectualism psychology to face everything that Lovecraft ever devised without blinking.

Imagine thinking that insanity in cosmic horror is that you actually go crazy and not just that the truth you've learned means everyone else thinks and treats you as crazy

File: images(19).jpg (15 KB, 516x387)

>>97281870
In actual Lovecraft and not the pastiches, people tend not to go entirely mad witnessing eldritch horrors. They instead demonstrate symptoms of what we would today call PTSD, which makes sense, because Lovecraft was writing in a recently post-WW1 world and evinced clear interest in the trauma then known as 'shell shock.' Lovecraft himself had a lifelong fear of heritable insanity due to his parents, and this also shows in some of his work.

Conan, for his part, does show bad fear and trauma when he encounters the ineffable more than once. Hell, just seeing a dead dude revived as a zombie by a friendly evil wizard upsets him. REH intended Conan as an ideal/aspirational character, and in-fiction you could argue his Cimmerian upbringing and mercenary life selected for a protagonist more resilient to trauma.

Oh, and traditional games? Faggot.

>>97282542
All these are exactly the kind of ideas I was trying to avoid since they really make a couple of builds the center of the story rather than on par with the rest.
>>97282581
>I feel like the revival plan should be "perfect" in the sense that, with no interference, a high power level for the ressurectee could be achieved. So instead of them reviving a mid-low tier threat setting wise, they end up reviving a high tier threat but with weaker power (in order to be fightable) due to PC interference.
That's what I meant with my suggestion. I feel like if they have a god guiding them there would be less chances of mistakes, since the god would find out and react. I guess we could go with a god that can't comunicate to allow for a weaker revival. So we can also have the scene where it awakens unaware that the ritual was fucked up and it isn't at full power, so it gets beat up and runs away to gather more power.

stick an arm into the blast zone and you will stay where you are and past that line of deliniation the arm will have been cut to its interity, disintegrated if you will.
