What races exist in your setting, or at least are races that you like, be it in science fiction or fantasy settings, and wish were seen more often? For me, I wish Warforged were in more D&D settings naturally.

So what exactly would a evil book look like?What would be inside of it?Excluding the obvious crap like>Evil spells>How to summon demonsI am thinking about a ideology like what would a book of evil actually say? Like some form of ideology of evil. What would be its premises?
>>97800052ain't clicking that
>>97800063>I chose to remain ignorantYou are a retard and proven to be wrong.
>>97800092Very myopic view stemming from a narrow minded fool.
Probably unassuming. Just a well made little book that seems very easy to carry, pleasant to look at and comfortable to read. Nice font, matter of fact writing, clear diagrams. Ten ways to bind a soul to power your toilet is presented in the same manner as a shoe care routine or a detailed, oneiromemetic breakdown of why society is wrong and should really be burnt down. If it's an evil book of a wealthy man it'll be neater and of higher quality compared to a working warlock's manual, who might have all different scavenged sheets of paper in a cheap folder if he's truly poor. If it's devoted to an evil god it probably has devotional etchings and decorations though and all bets are off. Treasure binding with jet and baby fingers, etc. Over time it comes to dominate a room - maybe you're at home and you're always aware of precisely where in the house it is. Maybe the room seems dark and close except for this one book, which despite not shining with light stands out. I'll avoid posting a picture of talmudic interpretations for once.You could find a translation of the Munich Necromancer's Manual and use that as an example with images of the original. It's Necromancy in the sense of 'forbidden and profane' vs more modern or divinatory necromancy though. Fascinating stuff. CLM849, google that. Or the Grimoire of Pope Honorius.

>>97795972I have experience with ghoul serpents, naturally. Though I confess that my knowledge of Animalism does most of the work.However, I recall Mademoiselle Stripper saying that her sire breeds destriers to use as ghoul mounts. Perhaps she can acquire one for you, or provide some advice?And since you are in Texas, Monsieur Chelys has experience running a ranch with ghoul livestock... and crocodiles. He may be another source of advice.
>>97793748>>97793839I see what's going on here. Okay. So the Sabbat have three circles of membership, right? We've got "prospects" that get to hang around, get hazed, and do all the scutwork until they prove they're smart enough and want in badly enough to pick up the unwritten rules on their own. Then the full fledged members like me, then the "inner circle" that get to sit at the big table and call the shots.Biggest mistake the Sabbat ever made was making too many shovelheads and promoting tgem past the prospect level just for surviving a few fights, diluting the sect as a whole. Sounds like lightningbolt has only talked to the kind of dipshits that have no business being vampires let alone members of the Sabbat.>>97795972Yeah, my Sire has a ranch where he breeds these enormous coal black warhorses that he ghouls to ride into battle. Gorgeous creatures. The trick is to train them thoroughly and feed them well. Vitae, I mean. You want them to develop the the three physical disciplines and have all the vitae they can hold before you take them out for a serious ride, or they'll insticinctively push themselves to hard. Remember a horse is a naturally a prey animal whose only method of defense is being in a herd and running really fast and you're trying to get them used to being a predator now. A pinch of Animalism goes a long way, Being able to talk to 'em directly speeds this all up.>>97791252Fucking hell I liked that place! Am grumpy now. Wish I could say for certain name droping me would help with the Bishop, but a few of the higher ups already don't like how I'm trying to course correct the sect, and I'm not sure how Houston feels about me.
You know in hindsight the funny b8 name I used to get people who wanted to fight me into Loup country might have been a poor choice. So... Last night when we were staking out the Hunter Clan? Gün vanished and came back with a kid.'Regular' human kid. Age 13 with a remarkable tolerance for resisting Loup terror. Among other things. Gave us some intelligence on his familial group of hunters. A trio of brothers, a 'great aunt' not related by blood, as well as an orphaned cousin of the kid, and the kid's mother. We're calling this kid Five-Eyes, as that was the cognomen Mèo assigned her. She's been driving the Hunters up the wall as while she hasn't 'lied' Mèo has been creative. Also kind of broke down Five-Eyes' worldview that all supernaturals are all man-eating abominations. Our captured fledgling who has requested he never be forced to the name 'Dustin' ever again will also get a cognomen; 'Sorcerer.' The Hunter kid's testimony got him screaming about the housing market and that he hate's mankind more than even the 'Pyromaniac's flee-bitten Groupies' and had a full on breakdown when he realized we aren't even with the Camarilla. Ignis eventually showed great restraint and was 'the better woman.' After several creative curses such as 'you dress like a cattle baron and act like Tremere himself pissed in your Cheerio's.'Still don't know what we're doing with him as Ignis 'consigned him to exist rather than grant him an easy escape.' And the plan Five-Eyes and Mèo concocted is a stretch. Even for me. But clan have things that counter Obfuscate apparently, along with a frankly distressing amount of guns, emergency Vitae, and silver dust explosives. Attacking them directly is not an option, so, we'll see if they bite for a 'trade.'
>>97795371Just don't get too comfortable, you are in a cold war space and vulnerable.>>97795972Ironically the best advice also applies to regular horses. Diligent training, routine infusions, stress practice, ensuring they get enough space and work they don't just start killing small animals out of boredom. I'll admit though where I've walked the practice wasn't used much. Horse and Cattle ranching up north aren't easy.>>97798428There is an active competition for worst mistake of the Sabbat in the past century. Letting Trems in and letting them keep shitty tumorous fiefdoms is up there. House Gorgon was barely compliant with the Sabbat doctrine and two steps away from starting up the Blood-Bond human-centipede. It's real easy to run into dipshits when some people crank them out at record pace. They're most of Portland and half of Seattle. They just happen to be in competition with the 'let me make the Camarilla but shittier' crowd who I detest more.

The more I research street sociology and the lives of urchins and teen delinquents, the more I realise why some of them would rather try their luck on the streets rather than endure a "charity" like an orphanage or a workhouse. Holy fuck. You get figures like 87% mortality rates in some of them (and I found one, Dublin Foundling Hospital, with 99.9% mortality rate where literally only 1 survived in 5 years) vs 25-50% on the slums/streets and the social stigma was awful and dehumanizing. It’s no wonder characters like the Artful Dodger in Oliver Twist resonate so much. Also fun stuff like Baby Farming where people were paid to adopt orphans, only to murder them with opium, so they would get paid again, and repeat the process.
>>97796423When you have nuclear fusion, even an asteroid in the Oort cloud it is viable, and you can make a lush colony with it. Also, you could technically send energy from inner colonies by using lasers.
>>97796588There's the concept of antimatter-catalysed fusion. You can build a smaller fusion reactor if you use antimatter as a catalyzer for nuclear reactions.
>>97793742I did show this to my players back then.You raise good points. Thank you. I have received other actionable feedback here: >>97792803I will think about what to do with this setting if ever I decide to return to it.
>>97784855I was loosely inspired by the Brothers from RWBY, and was thinking that the main deities of my setting would be a Lady of Creation and a Lord of Destruction (who I was thinking would be a couple, with potentially some children of theirs as lesser deities), the former making things all the time and the latter destroying the things that would harm the world at large and refining what he doesn't destroy, like a writer and their editor. What other aspects make sense for them and/or their subordinate deities to have besides Art and Life for the Lady and Death for the Lord (and maybe Disease, because things like diseases and monsters would be what occasionally slips by him and maybe because people pray for deliverance from said diseases)? Maybe Dreams for the Lady? Asking again.
