Just engage in the correct Ritae. Carve up the city and/or engage in Monomacy where there are perceived descripencies.Except, nobody in Portland is doing that. And when they do that, their dipshit followers aren't accepting the fucking results. Of single combat. To final death!
>>97373450Maybe. But the moment the situation started with the Lasombra master getting eaten by a paraplegic junior? (And somehow that mother fucker is still holding on leading the demi-anarchs, bless his heart.) That shit was doomed brother. No amount of personal combat was going to fix it without a centre. Not that it can't work. Back in Milwakee, Stake Duels were a default for the enforcers and the tyrant prince in settling things 'civilly', but that fucker being a control freak was what kept order.>>97372241I've heard Lilith, dozens of Egyptian gods, many local Amreican spirits, the capital D devil, God, YHWH, Allah...

Most likely it's just a psychological thing, a result of you worrying deeply about him and the way things can unfold, so don't let it get to you. That said, I could do a reading for you, see what the cards say about Boy Toy and his future? Try and alleviate your concerns about him turning into a squared abomination or something, eating all of you. >>97370904>Family values.That, and if Lavender kicked it somebody else would have to be the caern custodian.

Fearsome. Can't imagine living my life without those glares.

>>97373110>>97372969Auré is absolutely right about experimenting. You'll never learn the ins & outs without seeing what happens when you use x instead of y. Just make a handful of prompts changing fabric materials to see what it makes, or lighting or styles, try out some uncommon colors like burgundy or vermillion, also know that with declarative statements you can just prompt nonsense stuff & get cool pics. What does a gnarled ultraviolet cheese tree look like? Prompt it & see. Maybe it will help you jury rig a hard to make prompt later on.

>>97373081Depends on what you're looking for. I'm only familiar with the VtM ones. There's some good ideas, but they can often be really railroady. For example, Fountains of Bright Crimson, a VTDA premade set in Jerusalem has its plot hinge on a vital lead being cutscene-killed by an Assamite despite the potential for PCs to theoretically have enough auspex to spot the 'mite, and the victim being a knight from a clan with Fortitude, aka the only discipline that could give him a tiny chance to survive an aggravated damage sneak attack. I ended up having to rewrite a lot because I hate railroading and hey, the overstatted Assamite rolled poorly, so the dude narrowly survived. Despite that, there's a lot of interesting stuff going on and it lets the PCs have a brush with the power of an Antediluvian.For modern nights stuff, I like some of the Chicago premades. While setting-specific, you could theoretically rewrite them for other cities relatively easily. There's one about the PCs being caught in a literal chess game between two Methuselah, and unlike most Methuselah plots, they aren't completely impotent. Their actions influence which Methuselah wins, even if the chess players are too strong for them to directly fight outside of a fluke of the dice. If you want something wild, there's one premade story about a holocaust survivor that blames vampires for the third reich, and is working on an anti-vampire bioweapon. Fun to have a hunter who is a frail old man relying entirely on his intellect. I'd stay away from most of the Revised era premades, since the PCs spend a lot more time being passive observers to metaplot updates.
>>97373081I've read good things about the OG Chicago by Night/Ashes to Ashes, though I'm not sure if the V20 Dust to Dust kept that quality. Other recommendations I've seen are Giovanni Chronicles and Diablerie Mexico, personally I can attest throwing newbies into Blood Nativity while making sure to keep the pre-embrace scenes brief makes for a fun time of "you're a vampire, now what?" before the coterie gets in trouble and you throw the Sheriff at them.
>>97373688I remember an anon recommending an adventure where your coterie was converted at a lab of some kind and you were trying to find your sire and understand your clan, so the adventure let you play around with starting disciplines as sort of soft-caitiffs. It was pretty interesting but I don't remember the name or if the guy himself made it
>>97373763You're talking about Alien Hunger, and the scientist is literally Louis Pasteur.
>>97373805Yes that's the one, thank you king. Seems like a very interesting adventure though K haven't had the time to run it yet. May adapt it as a storyline for my New York game.

Hey gang. Can I get some information regarding the Star Wars RPGs? There seems to be a lot to choose from, and a few beginner boxes, it's quite a lot to take in and I think there may even be multiple developers? Any and all information would be appreciated.

>>97372713There's the old West End Games D6 system. WEG is loved by many here, but I've seen anons say they find it a bit clunky by modern standards. I don't see it, but I will say it's very number crunchy. A classic, but not everyone likes dice pools.More info:http://d6holocron.com/downloads/wegcore.htmlThere's the Star Wars D20 system published by Wizards. The Saga Edition is the latest edition from 2007. Would be fairly familiar to people used to D&D's third edition. Here's a wiki for morehttps://swse.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars_Saga_Edition_WikiaAnd just because it popped up on the front page of google, a pdf of the core rulebook.https://www.theberserker.net/berserker/sw/rule_books/SW_Saga_Edition_Core_Rulebook.pdfThen there's Fantasy Flight Game's systems, Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion and Force and Destiny. They're very cross-compatible so they're often lumped together as just FFG's Star Wars. In contrast to WEG's crunchiness, FFG is a bit light and fluffy. I personally enjoyed this, but I do recommend having plenty of house rules. For example, it's designed to be entirely theater of the mind and its weapons have range bands (e.g., Engaged, Short, Medium, Long, etc.) that are meant to be abstract. My group crunched those down to feet (Engaged-30 feet was Short, 30-60 feet was Medium, etc.) so we could use minis during combat. I find it a good way to keep track of where everything is.And I like to turn players loose on a map and say "go, explore."It does have a gazillion extra books, and most are out of print. The links in the OP should still have PDFs of them all.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97372694I mean, yeah! Look at these guys!All they need is a staff and a willingness to act like a fool in public to complete the look.>>97372615FFG never stated that race, but honestly I think either Sakiyans or Arkanians will probably work fine.Still need to decide what they’d point to and think “that’s a goblin”, or “that’s a Kobold”, and I especially need to figure out what species they’d think were gnomes.Through with some time, I’m suspecting that if they think Trandoshans are Dragonborn, then they probably think Wookies are bugbears. And I am definitely having them associate droids with the undead, (so anytime local adventures talk about battling zombies or skeletons, know they were likely fighting droids)But one bit of… serendipity I want to put in was that the ship that rediscovered these “Dungeon worlds” was a Lucrehulk named: TFS Sigil (“TFS” standing for “Trade Federation Ship”)
>>97373020>WEG is loved by many here, but I've seen anons say they find it a bit clunky by modern standards. I don't see it, but I will say it's very number crunchy.I always thought that system was really simple - at least the 1E version. It didn't even require initiative rolls or have ammo limits on weapons originally.

Hmm... for an actual racing scenario, I would probably implement turn mode rules and some kind of expanded pilot skill failure table that includes skidding, scrambling to keep moving at least partially while almost falling and overstraining your myomer as possibilities. Ditch skidding on pavement, it's redundant when turn modes are in play, assume all racers are sprinting by default, maybe split the movement phase into two or three separate phases that each gets an equal fraction of total MP.
>>97373824>That's fair though I might start to take it a little personally if I saw a roster of all 2%-type-roll pilots.Same. It does serve as a decent litmus test for the realm of possibility when you account for the ranges on offer. Particularly the Inner Sphere rolling with a pure 1d6 while Clans being intended to roll with a 1d6+2 if they are piloting a mech and 1d6-2 (min. 0) if not.Allows catching of a couple out-of-flavor stats than the step-by-one won't. For instance, even in the most elite units, a non-mech Clanner is going to be fairly out of the ordinary with a 2 Piloting or 1 Gunnery.
So those goonhammer guys rate the Falconer as C on a S-F scale. Likening it to other mobile jumping snipers like the Nightstar. I don't think these guys play much.
