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.)
>>97218942>What would you anons say the appeal of Beast isAntagonists. Beast as written is going to appeal to very few people as players, but as enemies, they're superb.
>>97223856Yes, Black Vans specifically offers alternatives to Conviction and Loyalty.• One example replaces them with mortal humans' conventional Virtue, Vice, and Aspirations.• The Deviant-ified rules for Beasts, changelings, demons, Sin-Eaters, hunters (entirely separate from the variant rules for """natural""" superpowers), mages, mummies, Prometheans, vampires, and werewolves obviously do not have Conviction and Loyalty to begin with.• The cyberpunk genre and its rules replace them with juggling a network of patrons and sponsors.• The high fantasy genre and its rules replace them with heroic codes of morals and ethics (every PC has one, even unconsciously) and the drama that ensues from trying to live up to them.• The superhero genre and its rules expand conventional Conviction and Loyalty Touchstones into much broader scopes, though this takes some Merit investment.
>>97223439CofD is so setting agnostic that you can just rewrite everything to fit WoD with sufficient autism.
>>97227172Eh, not really. CofD has things like God Machine.

>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.

Burning Sagas is getting digital version, is it any good or just baby's first war game?
>>97234730It is on my shelf, I do very much enjoy it for what it is.In saying that the answer to your question is complicated. Moeller was an mtg artist as a career for a long time and is still afaik a newer designer. His approach so far has been riffing ideas from minis wargaming rules and adapting them. Burning Banners was different but that's because it was riffing directly on Divine Right.It is overly simple to the point the base game would be unplayably boring if not for the artwork and scale. But take the rules system and put it on a normal map with normal art and no one would bother, it's wargamevault slop tier rulesNow add in the advanced rules and it becomes more interesting but also more clumsy, more chaotic and unpredictable, and much more slow. The game is unplayable at 4p because its just so dull and so slowCompare it to beginner wargames like Simonitich's Salerno, and you have something still very easy, still very rewarding if you practice and try, and has enough nuance to the rules that it isn't just checkers to other games' chessIf the price isn't right I don't feel its worth it. And honestly at the price I paid for the physical, I wish it was just paper maps and 1/4 of the price because it was like 150cad which was dumb as fuck considering the gameplay is 6/10 at bestDo I still like it and think its worth playing ,sure. And ill probably buy the exp. But if a competitor came along and made a version with an experienced designer who had a creative approach to getting a bit more out of the game, it would absolutely push BBs shit deeply in

Not a week in this city without something else absurd and unreasonable. Fingers crossed it's just some Kine drunk or local activist protesting the gentrification of mildly historical neighborhoods.>>97234654I'd advise being careful while approaching the body - it may be a ghoul left over from the Palatine, with explosives in their abdomen, or some other sort of suicidal saboteur. Not likely, but also not impossible, as of late. >>97234606On a brighter note, my flight schedule is clear from Christmas to Orthodox Christmas. If you or Blue Fairy wish to redeem the favor my coterie and the city owe you two for the fashion show, I'd be happy to fly you whenever and wherever.
>>97234732>my flight schedule is clear from Christmas to Orthodox Christmas. If you or Blue Fairy wish to redeem the favor my coterie and the city owe you two for the fashion show, I'd be happy to fly you whenever and wherever.Done. Please fly us both to Rome (Fiumicino) in the night between the 26th and 27th, the earliest possible flight from NYC (JFK airport). We fly back home the night after, again as early as kindredly possible.
>>97233412>peasantry need to dumpster diveI know financially well-off mortals who do it anyways. No matter your walk of life, I guess free shit is free shit.

>>97234732We have Mercury Lamp's dolls on the case. The problem with such high caliber rounds is that there isn't much of a body left, I've seen trains being more gentle.Here's what I'm allowed to share for the time being: it was a group of five males. One had a large Schwarze Sonne tattooed on his pectoralis major. Another had glass fragments of what were once 2 or 3 vials in his pocket, one crudely labeled "FENT", again we can't test this as they were broken and contaminated by one another and blood. What's left of them reeks of alcohol.Did this Palatine ghoul, embrace, care for, recruit from, organize, or had any connection whatsoever with neo-nazis and/or people involved in the fentanyl trade?Uncle The Devil Wears Me is walking back and forth the hallway, cane in both hands, ranting about some "zevel levan."Then again we deal with so many stupid people as of late, I can't even exclude the asshole thought the black sun was just a cool symbol, like your average American with a T-shirt with a Buddha, Om or Che Guevara on it.Can't they be just clueless biomass who had a case of fuck around and find out, just because this one night the house was quieter than usual?>>97234780YESSSSS>>97234802Yuck.
>>97234732You'll receive the surveillance footage as soon as this video editor stops ruining my unlife. For what it's worth there were no obvious external signs of Vicissitude. Now the dolls are looking on the inside, we'll send you pictures if they find anything.>>97234965I don't care if they're hobos, nazis, Sabbat, or God holding Satan's hand, if anybody comes looking for a war, I got plenty of war in me.
Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere.Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency.If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started.

>>97234928you should try your question in the non-troll hijacked thread >>97226728you won't get a genuine reply here
Have you ever roleplayed a female character?
>>97234702No.
>>97234702A few times, if it fits the concept (or if I like the character art) I have no issue playing a female character, or seeing another dude playing one. As long as no one does a falsetto voice or goes full fetish-magical realm once had a player making a slutty elf priestess who had an orc sex slave and flirted with everyone, pure cringe, ruined the campaign and I don't get why the GM accepted it.I mean, some of my preferences can probably be found in some of the female characters I made, but I never had negative feedback on them in game. Last female characters I recall were:>Shadow of the Demon Lord: housemaid/slave turned rogue working for a criminal syndicate. Ended up liking the freedom it brought to her, but lost her morals along the way, alongside finding a sadistic side to her, as if taking a revenge on the world>Curse of Strahd: Eberron Shifter looking for her child kidnapped by werewolf, very much turned maternal instinct up to 11. could have worked as a badass dad too I guess, but I felt like it was better if it was a mother>Pathfinder: Witch raised by a sea hag, maladjusted for society and prone to subtly cursing those who wronged the group.I don't like the general discourse in TTRPG or writing community than men & women should be written the same; especially in historical (or not) settings that put an emphasis on gender & societal rules, it should influences the character worldview and interactions.On the other hand, I didn't see women play much male character in TTRPG. Just once I had one making a tiefling dude who was fairly normal and griefstricken by his wife death, pretty decent backstory and roleplay on her part. Heard some horror stories here and there but never witness anything myself
>>97234702Of course, it's a natural fantasy to imagine what it would be like to be the opposite sex, It only becomes an issue when you genuinely want to be the opposite sex, then you should go see a doctor to get euthanised
>>97234966In my experience they are almost always drama queen fags that have to make every session about their character, but they give great post session blowjobs so I keep a few around at all times.
>>97234702I'm the GM for the group, so I often end up doing it. It's whatever, though the 'funny' voice I do for it ain't great
