>>97219372I get the idea of "Oh the story keeps changing in-universe is fine because it's actually just made up." But if that's the case then in-universe it is a powerful metaphor for the common man. But even still, it's hard to say it is that, or that it's the Warhammer version of the Unknown Soldier monument because by the end of this game of telephone we have a dozen people there, at least two of which are immortal. In that case then it's not a metaphor, but it's also not a jab at any regimental thing,

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.)
>>97221065>Thematically, it's big onI can't believe I forgot this, but perhaps the biggest core theme of all is -revenge- and through it, perhaps justice. Fighting the conspiracies whose cruelty made you what you are and took everything from you, preventing them from doing it to anyone ever again. This drive to avenge themselves and the single-minded warpath it instills in Renegade Remade is the purpose and focus which keeps them grounded and prevent them from unraveling - whether physically, mentally, or spiritually - even as it's what makes them dangerous. I say "perhaps" because, if they are not entrenched in this conviction, they can instead be Devoted, having found a purpose to commit themselves to beyond their hatred. Unfortunately, this is usually to one of the conspiracies they would otherwise be fighting.
>>97221065>Black Vans, which OP mentioned, is going to provide options for drastically different setting milieus.>Thematically, it's big on themes like struggling with alienation from regular people and your former life, acting clandestinely to fall beneath the notice of something that wants to claim you, and the conspiracy and mystery cult angles that are common throughout ChroD as a setting.I will add that Black Vans specifically sets out to present variant rules and genres that let the GM adjust the tone and theme to whatever they want.Maybe the GM just wants some goofy, high-powered urban fantasy game with only a modicum of alienation and persecution. Black Vans can do that.A cyberpunk game about juggling a network of patrons and sponsors? A high fantasy game about heroic ideals and the interference of godlike beings? A post-apocalyptic game about hope and despair, and rebuilding a shattered world? A space opera game about toppling interstellar empires? A superhero emergence game about managing PR and worldwide sentiment towards all superheroes? A genre-bending game mixing several of these? Black Vans has this covered.
>>97221120I will add that even this has nuance.For one, while it is true that "go Renegade against the conspiracy that made you" is a recommended starting point, it is far from the only one. You might have Diverged thanks to an entirely different conspiracy, due to a freak accident, or because of your own wacky self-experimentation.For two, most conspiracies of the Web of Pain are indeed super-duper evil. Thus, Renegades fighting against them are "good guys" by default, while Devoted are positioned as "bad guys." But many Devoted are coerced or outright enslaved into service.Further complicating matters, some conspiracies are more neutral-ish, and a rare handful are morally and ethically upstanding. The Standing 5 Chinkon Collective and its Devoted are earnestly, genuinely trying to keep all of Japan safe from otherworldly threats. It is theoretically possible to play someone who goes Renegade against the Chinkon Collective, but if so, such a Renegade would absolutely not be fighting the good fight.
>>97221178Indeed, this degree of nuance is one of the major reasons why DTR is such a resounding success, while aforementioned BTP, which plays at nuance by never really committing to anything (i.e. many beasts say they exist to teach humanity lessons through nightmares, but in practice this is mostly just an excuse to justify their innately harmful existences) as a means of trying to cover up how incredibly shallow it actually is, sucks its own ass so hard it turns inside out.
>>97221178>>97221242Yet another point of nuance.Even in the best-case scenario of Renegades fighting some super-duper evil conspiracy, there are still so many innocent dupes and catspaws in the way. Let us take Standing 3 Corvalis Chemicals, for example, a stereotypically evil chemical company.Most of the people working there are simply wage slaves. They may be dimly aware that they are working for some "evil" corporation, but then, what huge corporations are not? Do these people really deserve to die when a bunch of Renegades storm a conspiracy Node with grenades, Storm Caller, and other devastating AoE attacks?This is precisely the point of Deep Dive's Kindly Ones, a Standing 7 conspiracy. They are dedicated to taking down the rest of the Web of Pain. Some are moderates, and some even try to eliminate evil conspiracies peacefully. The rest of the Kindly Ones are extremists who absolutely do not care about collateral damage, and think nothing of blowing up Nodes and everyone inside them.
How do you justify a "pest race" like goblins or rat people in your setting? Why wouldn't the dominant species make a concentrated effort to eradicate them if they were a problem?
Do you prefer the seductionist harpies or the ones that will physically carry you off to a nest somewhere?
>>97213989Intentionally cultivated to suit certain needs; including and up to being a biological weapon. Not in the sense of your typical weekly serial monster, but specifically to create a fast-reproducing problem. These tiny races have a couple of advantages over zombies, namely intellect and self-preservation instinct. In certain circumstances, their weakness becomes a strength, as resources are dedicated to visibly larger threats, than the goblins/kobolds/gnomes that are mostly known for screaming at strangers and digging through trash.All in all, it is really hard to wipe out a species, especially one that has some low cunning and can bolt when shit goes wrong. It is an extraordinary investment that will take decades to happen, and it will take further centuries for the effort to have fully paid for itself.
>>97213989I mean we dont eradicate actual rats to extinction, why would we do that to sentient ones?
>>97221225Rats serve a useful ecological purpose. Goblins do not.
>>97219750Yeah, but Lord Anon is operating right next to a hostile kingdom, so he'd be the first to get hit whenver Shitstainia decides to reclaim their rightful clay or just raid for some goblin strange.

>>97217955We're all a bunch of old genX neckbeards, instead, and at our table, we've always strived to avoid things getting too magical realmy, so it's kinda difficult to reach such a balance. Best we do on that front is to prank our designated party face, a really horny dude and champion whoremonger, that isn't afraid of getting frisky with very feminine transvestites from time to time ('I was mistaken', he always says when it happens, with a shit-eating grin), with making his characters too end up in bed with men in drag. Hence why my previous question to OP...

What game, in your opinion, has the greatest potential for ruining friendships? What game turns your friends into a bunch of Mr. Hyde assholes that start swinging?
Diplomacy.
>>97221090I think this is a meme answer. The only story I've ever heard of Diplomacy ruining any friendships was a very obviously fake green text from here where some girl gave a guy a blow job in the middle of the game to get a slight advantage that lead to winning the game. And then everybody clapped. After looking at the rules for 20 seconds, I realized the story was fake because the game is way to autistic for any girl to want to play it.
