The best parasites don't kill their hosts. Also the math just doesn't math on Elders needing to stack the bodies up high just to function on the night to night. It strains the credulity of the Masquerade immensely, especially when you remember that human populations used to be much smaller.

V5 doesn't understand many things, logistics is one of them. The world prior to the 21st Century is another. It certainly doesn't understand how things like surveillance states and intelligence agencies actually operate. The big issue with V5's vampires is they're so non-functional that one finds it hard to believe they didn't go extinct a long time ago.

For the record Blood Potency was fine... in Requiem, where it worked differently and was part of a universal rubric to determine how potent a supernatural being was. I'd go so far as to say that if we were just talking about Requiem's blood potency, you could mix it with generation and have a generational min-max potency and it'd work relatively fine as a compromise. The problem is V5 loved cribbing things from Requiem that worked without understanding WHY they worked.

Can a reality deviant provide you with primal energy and / or money? Are you a memeber of the SPD? If you got yes twice then you're good to go.

>>97217736
In Requiem it was also as much a negative as it was a power boost to get a high BP, to the point that it was common for an elder to just give up and go sleep away a century or two so they can feed from humans again instead of only other vamps.

High charisma and intelligence, high occult mastery, probably a sorcerer. I'd say high wits, high perception too. Probably a lot of derangements, even more when you fight him as a boss.

To show the light shining through a gemstones (regardless of colour) you shade the top and highlight the bottom, ie the opposite to how you'd treat an opaque material. Finally you put a white dot highlight right where the light first hits it, ie in the middle of your shading.
As for a yellow gemstone in a gold setting... the best advice may be to go for a silver or copper setting instead.

I've been on a space kick recently and want to run a sci-fi space campaign as the GM. What are the best systems for a flexible gaming experience without the autistic complexity of something like Shadowrun? I'm looking for a system that can run "magic" (Psionics, occultists, dark gods, etc) and high-tech weaponry and ships and stuff as well as madness mechanics mutations, cybernetics, horror elements, etc. Visiting weird planets, dealing with intergalactic politics, smuggling goods, assassinations, dealing with alien cultures, learning dangerous magic and technology, etc. I also want the players help make the setting so I'd prefer a flexible system that can handle a multitude of scenarios with cool aliens and stuff.

I've heard of Traveler, Starfinder, etc, I just wanna know what system(s) I should focus on learning about first. I'd rather not run it in a Star Wars DnD conversion or Feelings and Lasers. This crowd usually plays DnD or very simple games but are open to other games too. Again I've tried Shadowrun and I'd rather a system that isn't over-complicated and just has the hacking take up 90% of the screentime.

Thoughts on the BP Epic Waterloo stuff? I had never payed much mind to it because Waterloo is not a campaign that I'm that interested, but a bunch of guys at the club have been playing it and I found a couple of second hand starter sets for very cheap. I'm seriously tempted to get the Prussian starter and join them. They also play with the ACW stuff.

I just want my fucking players to assume their characters for once. 2 campaigns 8 players and they never fucking once think “what does my character want right now” only “how do I, a player, solve this encounter “. If my npcs or creatures only did things to win, the players would rightly be thrown out of immersion. If the owlbear suddenly has advanced combat tactics etc. why can’t players fucking understand that as a dm I am there to interact with their characters just like they are there to interact with the world and npcs? Stop ruining my fun. And no I don’t mean do funny voices, you can do everything 3rd person if you want.
>have you tried talking to them
Yes it usually lasts 15min. I send a reminder that their characters have traits and goals etc. for the first 15 of the next session suddenly everyone has a Batman or Xena voice and uses a few olde words. Then after that time they go back to “clearing content” mode

The lack of implementing good homebrew and how the game still suffers from serious issues. Not to mention hasbro and WOTC has been going agianst actually having fan or free conrent made for the game at every turn which pisses people off. This is before you get into how bland and boring the settings, content, and modules have gotten over time. The artwork is exceptionally bad now and feels more like drama club or therapy shit rather than fun adventures.

Old isn't necessarily good. New isn't necessarily bad. But that doesn't mean that new is automatically good. If one of the arguments advanced earlier in the thread is that 5.5 is better because it (marginally) closes the gap between martials and casters, circle magic blasts it so wide open that the divide is even worse than it was before.

How come they didn't go the 3e/4e route and print a bunch of actual, usable supplemental work and not just lightly touched campaign settings and weak adventures? I remember things like Book of Vile Darkness/Exalted Deeds, the Complete X series, several Monster Manuals with very cool art and monsters for every flavor of campaign, Tome of Magic/Battle, Psionics, etc. And that's not even counting things like Dragonlance, Eberron, FR. They had more classes, more spells, more feats, it is so much material. 5e is sparse by comparison

All you really need is a team, some dice and a pitch to play on. The templates are a convenience that you can just work without and the rules should be easy enough to find online.
Even the dice, you don't really need any more than 3x D6 if you can translate the block results into numbers and the D12/D16 aren't needed for exhibition matches.

maybe just playing delta green would scratch that hitch but I'd like to avoid intergalactic reality warping monsters and keep things tech noir / cyberpunk related because the setting is eclipse phase with nechronica and cowboy bebop shoehorned in but anything goes really

Without knowing more about your party or your world's history, generally anything that indulges or promises to enrich or empower the players is enough.
The price for profit can always be reduced to money. Life insurance is proof enough that even the average person understands how much someone's life is worth

If you're talking about raw power, heck just attach a meta-mechanical benefit for getting a piece of treasure or book. You promise to give them a feat from the book? If it's the first time, you don't even have to tell them it's the worst feat in the book.
