Making a goofy chess game, basically you're just doing puzzles for points with a streak multiplier like on a regular site, but for every three you get right in a row it lets you pick a single use card that can change the rules for one puzzle. If you use one it'll let you cook and try to beat the puzzle "under par" for multiplicative bonuses. I wanted to make chess Balatro but I only vaguely know what Balatro is. Kinda hard making the cards balanced and fun, but I did have a cool tactic with a "knights get pawn attacks" one, and my own minimum viable engine used the "Whoops! All knights!" one against me, so I think this could be neat with some more features.
>>97219567Sounds fun.

>>97220783All you need is one person with see invisibility or divine sense to ping the presence of the quasit. Maybe that isn’t a member of the party, but someone raving about the invisible demon controlling the guy who just lost his shit in the middle of the street might get some attention.
any advice on introducing downtime in a campaign with standard rest rules?I’m having the typical scenario of party recovering everything after sleeping and therefore having spent extremely little time in town / with each other.You finish the long rest, what do you do? We go adventuring again. Of course why wouldn’t they? There’s no reason not to. Yes I could just say “a week passes and you find yourselves in the tavern again” but that feels artificial and also awkward to suddenly introduce in the campaign, especially if there is an ongoing threat or villain to stopOf course I plan to have downtime once they defeat the current bad guy, but that’s gonna be a while yet…I guess I could come up a dungeon that will open in X days, or an attack that will occur in X daysTl Dr the standard rest rules are not conducive to an immersive balance of accomplishments per time passed in a standard fantasy setting, but I’m stuck with them

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.)
>>97218942Being a complete asshole without consequences. It's a game for meanies and bullies.I tried being evil but it felt very uncomfortable.
>>97218809To clarify:• This is technically a third-party product.• The only reason why it is third-party is because Chronicles of Darkness was abruptly stopped by the publisher. The last Chronicles of Darkness product published by Onyx Path was Deviant's own Clades Companion, back in 2024.• Eric Zawadzki was one of the two leads of Deviant core. He was also the lead for the supplements.• Eric Zawadzki is now writing almost all of Black Vans. It is still him writing, just under self-publishing.Eric Zawadzki put up his last supplement, Shallow Graves, on both DriveThruRPG and the Storytellers' Vault. According to him, Black Vans should be out in a couple of weeks.Previews have been going up on Eric's Patreon recently: some free, chapters' full text for paid subscribers.>I tried to go for a more social character for once and kinda regret not putting my freebie dots into more utility skills like drive and such.I am a great advocate for Deviant's own Hyper-Competence and Omnicompetence as boring, yet highly effective numbers-boosters for Skills.
>>97218942>the appeal of Beast is over the rest of WoD or CofDIt doesn't have one. Beast is one of the most poorly-written gamelines by far, probably the worst in all of ChroD. Its thematic premise was ass-backwards from its conception, trying to present the Begotten, who feed on people's fear and suffering, as a sort of allegorical oppressed group, while the Heroes they create by virtue of simply existing are egocentric chuds persecuting them for their nature despite them being anything but innocent. After the backlash OPP received due to the gameline seeming like weird abuse apologia, they were poorly rewritten to sand off their edges, leaving their concept weak and unfocused. You cannot look at the writing and mechanics of Beast and give a clear statement on what the game is actually about, thematically speaking. Is it about embracing being the monster the world sees you as? Is it about teaching hard lessons to humanity by terrorizing them? The corebook waffles.Beasts were also pitched as "the crossover splat," but while their crossover content is built in and they try to say pretty much everybody else is somehow related to them conceptually (because hurr durr they're the ultimate monsters), it's really inorganic and they don't have great reasons based on the innate drives of their splat to interact with anybody else, since the Beast/Hero cycle is so self-contained. Further, since their power floor is on the higher end of the splats, they tend to be unbalanced and lame to deal with in a splat's own territory. Part of the result of their cobbled-together concept is that essentially everything the Begotten do narratively, other splats already did better. Requiem already nailed being a predator who has to use others for your own satiation. Forsaken already nailed being torn between two worlds, one of civilized humanity and nature's savagery. Lost already nailed wielding the archetypes of myth and dream to take charge of the narrative of your own life.
>>97218982>>97220621Apologies friends, I'm kind of retarded. I had meant Deviant, but typed out Beast.
>>97220958From both a mechanical perspective and a thematic perspective, Deviant has the largest customization out of any of the Chronicles of Darkness games, by far.Clades do not matter too much for power selection, so you can build virtually anything. The Shallow Graves supplement expands this significantly.You can build a """"mundane""""" action hero, an elemental mage, a psychic mind-bender, a cyborg who can nanotechnologically produce an arsenal of weapons, some Baki-style Mutant: basically anything.Even the exact same character build can be flavored in multiple ways. An Invasive could be a cyborg stuffed with implants, someone bound to a cursed weapon, a person with a magical jewel embedded in their chest: anything works, really.Conspiracies can be virtually anything, too. I have listed some examples here >>97217964 and here >>97217974. Standing 1 conspiracies are small fry, and they rapidly escalate towards cosmic-level by Standing 9 and 10.Black Vans highlights just how much Deviant can be tinkered with to produce all different sorts of character types and genres. The fact that Deviant can be used to run a high fantasy setting without much issue speaks volumes to its flexibility.

>>97220243An entertaining read, but I don't really like the bit how passing a test means you actually failed.
>>97220243I gotta agree with the other guy, passing a test only to get whammied with ten fucking corruption is a huge dick move. I thought this was going somewhere cool with a tzeentchian-fucks-with-your-head bossfight and you went and made it shit.Seriously, ten corruption in one blow. Just rocks fall the character if you're going to be handing that out.
>>97220239>>97220243You know when you tell a story and you think it's the coolest thing every but it turns out it's only the coolest thing to you and it's lame and bad to everyone else? This is that.
>>97220243>Failing or ignoring it meant the PCs minds safely shunned away the visionsThis is the opposite of how that should've worked. Rolling WP is literally for your character having the resolve/fortitude of mind to shrug off other influences, the way you did it literally punishes those who've invested in WP, and for what reason? Also>tease a potential greater daemon boss fight>haha no daemon but still take 10 corruption :)This wasn't successful gaslighting, this was just straight up lying to your players and being a dick.

This has been basic kit dungeons and dragons the entire time. Yes its an interesting setting basis. It gives you a framework for exploration, treasure, limited centralized power so player characters can still move around, varieties of foes and cultures as the various gaps fill in and conflict. Its great. >what elements would you include? I always like having the moon be damaged and falling apart. Poorly understood rituals tied into ancient empire machinery carried on by monks. Warlords trying to gather artifacts of power. Big monsters wandering around. >zombies Undead forms as part of the magical fallout with occasional semblance of memory from pre collapse can be fun ways to have clues, adventure hooks and otherwise a bit of world building in game.

>>97219038Thanks, it's all of them including Han, although in the last game I did manage to lock him down in melee.That's a good tip about Kanan, I didn't realise it was attacks only. I find Asajj and Savage to be rather lackluster but Grievous' AoE has come in surprisingly clutch.I've been rather down on Magnas lately, but I'll give them another go in my next game. They feel so sluggish unless I'm pumping them with out-of-activation moves.
>>97219365Han's revenge works like a worse Leia anyway, so just engage him, disarm him or make sure to kill units from outside his shooting range if possible.I said Magnaguards because their Protection Protocol means they are the easiest low-investment mini to get in melee. You can of course engage Leia (or Han) in melee with a Primary or Secondary to prevent them from using their revenges. Jango comes to mind since he has easy access to pin and a good melee attack/defense. Grievous can also do it in Cunning Warlord stance but he'll have an easier time killing things with Quad Sabers. Aquas work too but can struggle to get pin tokens.Admittedly CIS has an issue of limited options with Magnas and Aquas being their only strong melee Supporting unit.
The vidya is pretty funny in how it portrays classes. In TT, you could never have a light side Sith Assassin. They'd lose their prestige class as soon as they alignment shifted over to the light side.
>>97220915KOTOR 2's NPC alignment is wacky and really should've been more than just light/dark.They have their default alignment, but it shifts towards/away from your PC's alignment based on their influence level. You can get a light side HK just by being his friend (or by being evil and having him hate you). It won't change anything, sadly, but it's fun to mess around with on subsequent playthroughs

>In the game Werewolf: The Apocalypse, the Garou (werewolves) were made to defend the earth from the cosmic forces that threaten to tear it apart. The Garou fight against the Wyrm, the destroyer. It is a struggle against nearly insurmountable odds, especially considering the rivalry between many tribes. These rivalries make it almost impossible for the werewolves to present a unified front against a cosmic force that pervades reality.>From this morass of hatred and mutual betrayal, there is little hope that the Garou can emerge triumphant against a foe so well armed as the Wyrm. The Wyrm promises money, power, sex, and whatever else the heart desires to its followers while the Garou receive no reward for their striving. It drives them deeper and deeper into despair, or into betrayal so deep that they choose to serve the Wyrm instead.Main Rulebooks:>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Rulebookhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Rulebook>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Second Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Second_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Revised Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Revised_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_20th_Anniversary_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition Corebookhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_5th_Edition_CorebookComment too long.
