>>96742740fuck that was a good comic
>>96742740>From 1 to 10, what's your eternal hope level for M5?Brother. Nephandi are in the right on this one. Let it end.
for me, it’s the friggin’ chicken
>>96742740Replace Changling the dreaming with Changling the lost in classic WOD and I'd be the perfect universe
>>96742835It’s your home brew, homie.
Can I accuse the Brujah of stolen valor from the Created?
>>96742920Actually, the Antedeluvian’s name was Brujah. The creatures are Brujah’s monsters.
>>96742740Anyone ever thought about making a retroclone of oWoD or nWoD?
>>96742920more like the titan in general. the call themselves prometheans as reference to prometheus bringing fire to mankind and being hated by the gods for it but they never did anything useful for mankind. Infact the faction who call themselves that want to compare their baali shithole city with the concept of fire as representation of learning and science and their punishment was in their eyes just because they been too awesome so these guys are basically going "we could have been the technocracy if not for those mean ventrue"
>>96742740>>Thread Question>From 1 to 10, what's your eternal hope level for M5?-1/10They will;a)Make Traditions collapse, Disparates bigger, and the Technocracy the big unplayable "evil" faction while making the Orphans the main way to play Mage B)Go the way of W5 or H5, completely "reimagine" it to the worse state. We will have "in name only" Mages, with everything being hearsay at best, non-existent at worst.Either way, all art will be traced or LARP'ers. The game will be street-level as fuck and will include Paradox dice.
>>96742740Hope? 10. Always 10.Expectation? 2. Pattern recognition is in full swing.
>>96743046>Hope? 10. Always 10.
>>96742740>From 1 to 10, what's your eternal hope level for M5?+6 from antidepressants make it a 7 out of 10
So the Messengers are God’s angels, right?
>>96743103The HtR Messengers or the Messengers from DtD?
>>96742740>The hopeful schizo unapologetic believer of humanity work being placed in the care of the aptly-named Paradox, a company that white washes away any problematic and uncomfortable elements, and strips away all nuance, leaving only a sterile world that tries to make a point on contemporary issues that will date it, but not in a campy way, all while missing the whole goddamn pointHonestly, the Technocracy would be proud. If W5 was Pentax's in-universe satirical attempt to demoralize the Garou, then M5 will be the Syndicate's project.I'll admit though, I predict the mechanics will probably gather fans. The lore, however? That shit will be neutered and be embarrassingly horrible.
>>96743103Yeah, that's the default assumption.
>>96743137That works. Now, dumb question - but I know that Gaia dwells in a paradise realm dreaming of life, and in the past, certain humans would enter it to be enlightened. How plausible is it for some Hunters to enter and through it, encounter the Messengers and thus become Imbued?
>>96743103>>96743137>The Imbued are fulfilling the Kuei-jin's role they had before their fallDAMN
>>96742920>HipstersI thought that was the Toreador shtick.
>>96743147The Messengers specifically people who are completely uninvolved with and unaware of the supernatural. If you've found yourself in the Umbra, you're out of the running already.
>>96743148That's the funny thing, Yama Kings fear and the Ministers think all of this to be "The Plan" by God aka August Personage.>>96743147It's your chronicle, you decide. I personally allow it since there is some stuff about Gaia being an angel in the past.
>>96743161Makes sense. I’m trying to marry Hunter v5 to the old school Imbued by having them “earn” their Imbuement after their own little misadventure - portraying the Imbuement as a great burden and veritable death sentence imposed upon people whom the Messengers, as capital A Angels, only want to see happy; and in the absence of God then the objective becomes defend the “Green Goddess” and hold the line until God returns.
>>96743174It is my Chronicle, but that doesn’t mean I can’t make some stupid-ass decisions, and this is the only place where people actually play games and read books on occasion.
>>96742740>tqI have zero hope. remember, m20 needed a 700 page book + heavily recommended 300 pages companion.
>>96742740>From 1 to 10, what's your eternal hope level for M5?I posted a hypothetical overview for what M5 would be like a few threads back. Rather than copy and paste five posts of bullshit, here's a screencap.>tl;drIf it happens, it won't be good.
What's the best level for an inFamous-esque level of power?
>>96743157Two different sides of the same coin.Toreader hipsters are the ones who do it because of the aesthetic and are driven by style rather than any sort of actual philosophy.Brujah hipsters are the ones who do it because of contrarianism and are trying to make an ideological statement rather than look good.
>>96743228Just reading through that made me want to puke. I am not exaggerating, I am currently nauseated.Good job.

Maybe I'm more the concepts then aesthetics, but I'm just confused. It's like lusting over an angry tank.

>>96743989Oh boy I can’t wait for the “redistribute the stolen wealth back to England’s former colonies to defeat the Syndicate” plot line.
>>96743860You illiterate fuckface. It is "milquetoast". You probably pronounce "blackguard" like the color.
>>96744049I know it’s a doggy dog world but that doesn’t give you permission to yell at me, fuckface.
I think the Syndicate is good actually
>>96743510Your butthurt is so obvious, it must infuriate you that you aren't able to actually caricaturize the other settings meanwhile CtL is one-dimensional.
>>96744084The Syndicate finances Epstein Island.
>>96744084>>96744097These are both true, because none of the factions in wod are one-dimensional unified monolyths and instead are made of people with competing interests.There are unironic factions of ancient, totalitarian pedos in the syndicate having a political war with worker-rights capitalists within the syndicate at any one time.
>>96744097I though that was the 7th Generation.
>>96744130>Syndicate>worker's rights
Werewolves came to a life mage to have them “de wormed”, and the life mage is currently pulling out spirit infused tape worms from their mouthes, asses, and navels as they try strangling her. And no she’s not getting paid because werewolves are all poor.

>>96744289The angry tank just kills you instead for being a filthy h*m*n
>>96744200What payment is the mage getting that isn't related to sexual deviancy or violence?
>>96744240A small price to pay for maintaining price stabilité
>>96744084There is a reason for that, because unlike literally every other Convention or Tradition, the Syndicate is about the Masses.

>>96744439Why are you a retard that posts tracking links?
>>96742740>tq1They're going to drain it if all things that makes MtAsc cool. It's going to be dumbed down and simplified, likely going to do away with the creative freedom of Magick. We'll have a list of rotes that you get access to depending on sphere levels, and that's it. No coming up with shit on the fly, just a list of stuff.The Technocracy are going to go back to the old "super mega bad guys" thing as they do away with any and all nuance. Probably go the way of saying they got subsumed by Threat Null.The Traditions are going to be turned into bland cookie cutter "orders" that drop all the cultural stuff they have. Probably being renamed to something akin to "The Order of (Sphere)" or something. I wouldn't be surprised if the Order of Hermes gets squatted, some justification of "they all went Marauder" or something.Tl;dr: Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. Especially with the precedent set by the other 5e things.

>>96743577You know I was thinking this the other day. I don't dislike CtL by any means, but it feels like it brings the least to the table when put up next to all the other splats. It's very much Vampire-lite, with a focus on the same themes. It's just a change of aesthetics, a little more magical, less monstrous, maybe a little more sympathetic/tragic.
>>96744392You have True Faith for vampires and Bureaucracy for changelings
>>96742209>Women rebel against their family because of an expectation to be breedable.>expectation to be breedableSo very tangently related. A few threads ago I pitched a Hunter concept of a devout catholic woman with true faith who is also a closeted lesbian and my ST and confirmed players approved the concept. One of the circles I have been trying to square is: if she is very devout in her faith, why doesnt she just swallow her pride and find a guy she can tolerate and pump out like 2 kids? So would it make sense for her backstory to have a full hysterectomy when she was younger as a justification for not even bothering to find a husband? I figured it has a secondary effect of her believing that since she can not fulfill her 'womanly duty' to be a mother, she would devote her life all that much more to the church/God.I just want to make sure my character is following an internal consistency.
>>96744758>if she is very devout in her faith, why doesnt she just swallow her pride and find a guy she can tolerate and pump out like 2 kids?Because Christianity places no expectation on its followers to marry and reproduce
>>96744758Why would she be expected to have kids? She's basically a nun, and those don't ever get married or give birth.
>>96744758I would strongly recommend that the hysterectomy either be involuntary or voluntary out of necessity. For example, like she was horribly injured in a car accident which necessitated the removal of her sex organs and even lower intestines which left her physically weaker. This might negatively affect your character interpretation, so here’s a secondary and, in my opinion, stronger suggested: A hysterectomy because of ovarian cancer.Have her internal struggle be that she is trying to reconcile God’s plan for her if she cannot fulfill His plan to go forth and multiply due to a cancer He allowed her to suffer from. Or, have her view her cancer as a blessing in disguise because it strengthens her resolve to remain unmarried and celibate in His name, which opens her to temptation upon a monster whispering into her ear that she can have premarital sex with no real physical consequences; so what’s the harm in having fun? Alternatively, have her believe that assisting in orphanages is enough to feel like a mother, but she’s unaware that she loses all reason when she sees a child in danger which puts the lives of her fellow hunters in peril, making her a risk to keep around despite her genuinely good nature.
Drawfag here with another sketch! This time a Skull Pig, having just smashed a bus off the road, and gorged on the occupants. Still trying to decide on what my next piece will be! But this Skull Pig was fun to sketch, and has a nice dynamic composition, so this one might be it!Hope you all enjoy!

What compels you to play a female character? That's far less believable than playing a vampire or an avatar of Nyarlathotep.
What do Metis change into during their First Change?

>>96745007HA!Women.
>>96744758Man, why would you play a religious character when you know nothing about the religion in question?
>>96745007>werewolf>C-sectionIt really is uncommon knowledge that a woman can just power-squat a baby out, isn't it? Like, that laying down is actually not an optimal position for human women to give birth? That's just unknown, isn't it?
>>96744981>>96745007But they do have to grow to maturity to adopt the other forms, right? That's like the whole thing- they are trapped in crinos form for their childhood.
>>96744981God I wish we got Woofs who were born in Hispo or Glabru form.
i liked it (besides the vampires being completely unfazed by sunlight)please recommend me some more vampire films
>>96745067Yeah, but their first change is basically the ability to become human or woof.

>>96744957Into a human or a wolf. They first change around the age of 7.
>>96742740First time STing or even playing any WoD game myself.I've been running a game of VtM V5 (listen, they are newbie normies, and it was either the easiness of V5 or nothing at all) for 4 friends of mine, who knew nothing about WoD prior. Yes, not even VTMB. I made them all roll newly-turned thinbloods so they don't have to learn about each clan, banes, disciplines, lore, etc. to make it easier for them. And I made a slight rule change that each feeding gives them temporary discipline ability to try out and get a feel for each (to help them in choosing the clan later on). So far they've been ecstatic about the world and the game. Each already lost some humanity, fought a biker gang, and managed to stake a proper vampire of the 12th generation (and immediately proceeded to decapitate him). So far we're more than halfway through our little investigation, and at the end, I will give them a choice to diablerize a proper vampire and "ascend". Hopefully, they will manage to complete this little adventure by the end of the month, and we can start getting onto real stuff by Halloween.Some of the highlights from our games that I found amusing:> One of the PCs is a stereotypical american trucker. He had to incapacitate a nurse and took his clothes to "blend" in. He "forgot" to take off his cap and walked around the hospital with scrubs and a baseball cap.> The other PC is a petite girl with a "baby teeth" flaw. It didn't stop her from using her switchblade on people's necks even when she wasn't hungry, because the player forgot that you need to only feed when you're hungry.> The third PC is a "dutch tourist". He got his hands on a bag of meth in the first session, and has been trying to peddle it to various NPCs. So far all his rolls were absolutely awful, so he's still running around with a bag of meth.> On session 1 they tried to slake their hunger by eating in Burger King. Much throwing up ensued.
>>96745263>easiness of v5I think having mechanics that don't give you brain damage may be preferable, v20 is just convenient in a lot of ways though I suppose player option abundancy leads to them to do stupid shit for first time players. Me currently have>1 player wants to be a caitiff with ties to his human life>1 wants to be an assamite merc>a nos with way too much backstory baggage (hunted down)>a tremmyI don't think they even envisioned a single face character or tard wrangler so it should be interesting
>>96745263>diablerieare you going to basically keep them around as turbo criminals because of it or is that an "if anyone finds out" bit
>>96745240very cool, thank you
>>96745285I genuinely don't get the "V5 is so much easier" claim. Just admit that normies are mindless consumers and throw a hissy fit if you don't play the most recent Product.
>>96745302Likely a bit of both, the art being more modern definitely makes the book easier to read though I bet none of the players read the book more than for a character sheet or game rules. Reading the v5 and seeing>blood potencyWas enough for me to reconsider v5
>>96745285I'd love nothing more than to have a V20 game with them, but they were skeptical of playing a "new" tabletop at all (DnD 5e babies), but now that they are loving it, I can suggest switching to a "better" system down the line. Boiling the frogs slowly, so to speak.>>96745294Only an NPC "mentor" of theirs will know about this, since he has been helping them with onboarding and the current investigation. Once they diablerize their sires, he will know this secret that I would be able to use at some point against them. I think it's a good hook to have.>>96745302They are consumers, but they refused to switch to 2024 D&D rules after those were released. In my case it's more of a "You have to read this entire book just to know how to create a character" or "I explain all the rules you need to know in session 0, and you can read up on what you want yourselves". I just know if I used the first option, I would've lost 2-3 of them immediately. I almost lost them on all the advantages & flaws part of character creation.>>96745329I'm willing to bet my left nut that they didn't even read the rules even though I told them to, since I already "tweaked" a couple to make it look more like V20, and they haven't noticed. But alas, making friends like your favorite tabletop is difficult. One of them asked if there are any novels in the "VTM universe", so there might still be hope for them.
>>96745358>DnD 5e babiesSay no more, I understand completely. I've been trying to shill shadowrun, CP, PF, anything to these guys and it only took an overly autistic explanation of WoD and how cool it is to get victimized by werewolves if playing Hunter then pivoted to explaining that Vampire would be the easiest one to learn the game system with. Originally I wanted to do Wraith or Mage, but then I thought they would want to blow their heads off constructing actual backstories and trying to figure out Mage. I would have been fine with Hunter but with these group they'd probably try to piss off werewolves and get TPK'd or something
>>96745358>didn't even read the rules>almost lost them on advantages and flawsonly 1 of my 4 players finished the sheet entirely flaws and all, everyone else is either stuck on it or wildly misinterprets it. I tell them multiple times "don't read the lore if you don't want to i'll explain stuff just read disciplines and clans" and they just don't listen. Happens, but keep it up and hopefully you'll get a good game going
>>96745368>Originally I wanted to do Wraith or MageThere's zero chance 5e newbies would enjoy Wraith or Mage, so good call.
>>96745412Not even WoD fans enjoy Wraith
>>96745368I wouldn't even dare to try mage with them. I know their (and my) limits.>>96745381I knew this would happen to them too, so I insisted on session 0, and we spent about 5 hours just making characters, with me explaining to them all the rules by going through the character sheet one item at a time. I even had to explain backgrounds, advantages, and flaws separately before even telling them to open the page in the PDFs. But now? They are all aboard and looking forward to each session, creating playlists for their characters, drawing stuff, and making recap videos (with AI images) of what we did in the previous session.
Are you playing with developmentally disabled children or something?
>>96745452>developmentally disabled childrenWhen was the last time you tried to play with normies anything that isn't a modern multiplayer video game?
>>96745452Yes
>>96745517I play Catan with my co-workers sometimes, it's fun
>>96745585Do you Catan?
>>96745412>>96745439tbf, I was playing up the ridiculousness of mages turning people into chair so I think I could have made it enjoyable. As for Wraith, I was thinking making it more undead fantasy than emotional CBT but I suppose I made a good call to introduce them with Vampire
>>96745452ever interacted with a normie in a non-office setting? Even professionally, they're rather like that
How "busy" would the world be if you could see into Twilight? Only Spirits that cross the Gauntlet, and Ghosts not in the Underworld are there right? Would there be Spirits everywhere following their impulses and a few ghosts hanging about being a nuisance, or would it be sparser?
>>96745743>How "busy" would the world be if you could see into Twilight?That depends on what version you are looking at. IIRC, ghosts avoid it like the plague unless their anchors are being moved because of the hourly plasm bleed, but animistic spirits visit it daily to feed from the material mirror events.
How often do you deal with the small drawbacks of vampirism? like animals bein on edge around them.
>>96745887Should be fairly often reminders but not literally every outdoor scene
>>96744929>You type like a manI have also been told I type like a woman on a few occasions. Ive also had people ask me if I was trans because I seem to have a mix of male and female qualities.>>96745035Because I can. I actually have been trying to learn more about catholicism but the older catholic lady Ive been talking to hasnt been coming around. The barometric pressure is probably fucking with her.>>96744830>I would strongly recommend that the hysterectomy either be involuntary or voluntary out of necessity.I was actually thinking of uterine cancer as the reason.
>>96745969I get that. I'm just amused how some merits, like Inoffensive to Animals, imply penalties to the baseline template.

It's a simple system you can introduce people and then give them the good stuff (i.e. 20th anniv or Revised).>I almost lost them on all the advantages & flaws part of character creationMy God this is horrible. But at least they're still playing now and have fun!>One of them asked if there are any novels in the "VTM universe", so there might still be hope for themOh, this is neat! My friend always recommend reading the Followers of Set novel. It's a good way how to use allies, contacts and resources.>>96745439Good to know your players are enjoying a lot! I have some friends with this level of enthusiasm and it's always a beam of sunlight in my world.>>96744957They Change to either human or wolf. It depends sometimes on their socialization or how they see themselves. It's up to the player.
>>96745741>>96745517Why are you playing with normalfags?
>>96746143Because they are my friends IRL?
>>96745439I be honest, you have a lot more patience than I do. I am happy that they are actually into it but the beginning sounds like hell.
>>96745263This group sounds hilarious, hope you have a lot of fun, anon.
>>96746143Where else do you suggest I grab players from? Discord? Some sketchy website? At least I can expect a level of normalcy from irl friends
>>96745982Well, you are an undead walking spook so I would figure a lot of the fluff that you're uncanny to be around is for real but something that can be largely avoided in a metropolitan area. Rarely will see a lot of animals about and even then only cats and dogs really have any sort of telling reaction that can just be attributed to shyness or something. If a vampire goes to pet it though then I imagine that's going to cause some issues
>>96746279Session 0 with a lot of character planning like that does sound a bit painful especially with a larger group

>>96744368>The Masses want a say in what goes on>Too bad, the Syndicate decided that a handful of douchebags should have all the money and thus Primal Utility. No say for youSure, sure.>>96745253>>96746132Correct Crinos-born information. Addendum: Sometimes they can do it from birth because they have the Metamorph merit. This was used to patch the story of a Central Park Caern NPC, Fengy, who was stated to have turned into a small cub after being abandoned by his parents.
>>96742773Is this cat? Are ya feedin me cat?
>>96746279It was fine, since I had never played VTM myself before; helping them figure it out also helped me.>>96746312I really like what they did with their characters too. Here are other noteworthy moments:>When they tried to feed for the first time, they accidentally drained a mortal. To cover up the masquerade breach of bloodless corpse, they found an electrical breaker and thew the body into the wires, essentially frying the poor sod to a crisp and blacking out an entire block.>On session 2 they robbed a hardware store. The dutch guy with specialty in Craft (Bombmaking) got styrofoam and all together they stole several galons of sulfuric acid.>>96746470>Get better friendsI don't base friendships on how well people can play TTRPGs. They are good people, if a bit of a "turbo-normie" type.>Your LGS? Other local nerds?Not that anon, but I could go out and seek a group in an LGS that is willing to play the game with me (unlikely, small town), or I could teach my friends how to do it and have fun together that way.
He appears in world of darkness either through isekai or he’s an ultimate maurader who broke his limiter through his Maurader bullshit. What happens
The anti-technocracyfag is getting tiresome because he gets BTFO in every thread but still posts the same shit. Even Reddit thinks he’s cringe and annoying
>>96746586... odds are he misses the entire supernatural side of the world for a long ass time or gets mind fucked.
>>96746637Mists and other stuff that enforces the masquerade wouldn’t work on him and he has super senses so I’m not too sure of that. Pity the first vampire using some illusion power that runs into him
>>96746616Get back in your cagie, little wagie.
>>96746438It's Changeling the Lost, not Changeling the Loss.
>>96746586>Garou pack is having their “end of chronicle fight” against some powerful bane or whatever >they’re losing >Saitama was trying to find Wal-Mart but got lost and happens upon the fight >the bane tries to attack and Saitama dodges without thinking >then he turns to he bane and focuses on it causing it to get a sudden feeling of dread before punching it into dust >then he wonders off without talking to the garou muttering something about not being a dog person
>>96746616No, you don't get it, he's TOTALLY gonna be the sorcerer king once the Sneeditions take over (lol) and not a slave.
>>96746653>Mists and other stuff that enforces the masquerade wouldn’t work on him and he has super senses so I’m not too sure of that.Bruh where de he show super senses or resistance to mind control?
>>96746709He has resistance to everything it’s part of his character. He’s basically meant to be a plot device character that has god mode enabled. He broke the internal limiter on his power so on the off chance he meets something that can effect him his power increases by that amount. Thinking he could beaten in a fight or mind controlled misses the point of his character. He could destroy the entire Earth with a punch without breaking a sweat
>>96746586Nothing about his life changes. Maybe some mage, changeling, or garou who also has toon force could mess with him, but otherwise he just keeps doing what he normally does.
>>96746738I can see the technocracy giving up trying to fight him and instead using undercover agents to direct him at whatever they want punched into oblivion
>>96746721So what's even the point of the question?
>>96746757Yeah, despite being a very powerful reality deviant he doesn't really pose a threat to humanity. If the technocracy is fine with cooperating with vampires and other supernaturals, it's not a stretch to assume they'd be fine with working with or manipulating him.
How does angel blood taste like? What side effects would it have?
>>96746797>How does angel blood taste like?What version?
>>96746785>the technocracy creates a new division explicitly created as a “Hero’s Association” to work with Saitama and forces a bunch of agents to create superhero personas >>96746771How people react to him is what’s interesting about Saitama
>>96746586He does fine?...You know what, let me be crazy.His arrival is calm at first but the more heroic he does, the stronger belief in superheroes become. In the past, superhero spirits were, comperetively, weak. Owing to the fact that this is World of Darkness.But with his arrival, the decades following his appearance made waves in the Umbra. Incarnas of Superhero are start appearing, joinging numerous Umbral Courts and Broods to fight against injustice and evil. Nobody knows what will happen next but it is exciting and for one, good times for World of Darkness.Also, Man of Gotham officially invites Saitama to join them but he declines. They are too broody for him.
>>96746797It burns. It burns completely. It burns good.
>>96746839The world would also flood with glamour. If it went far enough the gates to Arcadia might slam open if only briefly
>>96746838>How people react to him is what’s interesting about SaitamaPeople try fight him and die. no one realises he is the reason why XYZ figure have gone missing so we get a King expy for each splat because funny.
>>96746847Saitama would basically be patron saint for a lot of Seelie changelings. Even Unseelie would respect it, if only because he does legendary stuff.Speaking of moon landing, considering how being hopeful even eased Paradox, that's another plus for The Technocracy to support Saitama.
>>96746839Wouldn't that also cause supervillains to appear?
>>96746877yes, because wod can't have nice things.
>>96746877Yeah but this is World of Darkness.Considering how there are lot of evil spirits already there? I doubt it will actually be bad in the long run. Plus at least supervillains, by the very fact that they are supervillains, lose to Heroes. Especially since this is Saitama we are talking about that inspires them. As long as Saitama doesn't lose, which we all know he will not, supervillain spirits are there to lose.
>>96746616more like anti-technocracy thread desu, I don't think anyone here but you likes them
>Not so subtle shilling of V5 shit products>Retarded discussion of braindead joke manga that doesn't take itself seriously>Spamming of the same discussion over and over in multiple threadsis some discord group raiding this general or what.
>>96746977Nta but I have been on /tg/ since like, 2010. This general was always techie. Go look at /tg/ archives.Fucking hell, even that faggot footlicker Satyros can't help but admit more people support techies than traddies.
>>96745263>First time STing or even playing any WoD game myself.how have you been preparing to ST? what kinds of resources were have you been using?i want to play vtm or anything really but i figure if i bring it up to a group i will have to ST it myself
>>96746961based on CRINGE more like
>>96744037Winter's Teeth. That's where the OP pic is from.
>>96746549>Crinos-bornSir, we are in 4chan. You can say "Metis" without being judged.Also, Metis is a french word which means "Mestizo". It isn't a connection to canadian-native Metis. Just like "Garou" and other french words they shoved in the book. Even Rage Across the World from early 2000s said that.The french literally called the mixed breed "Metis" because that's their word for it. Sure, there's all racist implications and so on, but it's clear as day that it's not the case here.I'm always curious to know when this association started to happen because I only knew about it around later W20 and earlier W5, but it seems this is far older and people bought into this idea without any real proof.
So like according to ascension the world of darkness is a prime 9 effect and that’s the equivalent of what God did ???
>>96747102That's just some speculation by some Mages. Not even all Mages.
>>96747120It’s brought up more than once!
>>96747129>if multiple people say something, it's true
>>96742929They're not even the worst. The more I think about the True Brujah the more pathetic they get>ACKSHUALLY we saw the jyhad and thought it was cringe so we totally let our ante get eaten!!! Trust the plan!>oh we totally educated those meanie Troilespawn and build Carthage but it fell because of those meanie Ventrues >:( Baali? Who's that?>Oh now we totally control the world from le shadows with the Tal Mahe Ra but we don't care about them, they're useful tools to us... *adjustes anime glasses*>now we just hide in the dark and hoard books but we're totally kill all Brujah/undo the Jyhad! Two more weeks!I also don't buy for a second the story that Brujah/Troile diablerized Ventru. Know why? Because if anything close to that had ever happened then the Brujah would never shut the fuck up about it. These guys just exist because the writers wanted the Dio timestop.
>>96747129The possibility of there being multiple, completely different Triat is also brought up. Does it make it true? Not really. Just like how Garou doesn't know the truth about Gaia and the Triat, Mages also don't know and speculate. There is a reason why Dreamspeakers think there are multiple Gaia like entities but then you have...I think Glass Walkers? Christian believers in Werewolves.
>>96747080Probably from same people who saw Get of Fenris symbol and associated with a "half nazi swastika" instead of "two crossed melee weapons" the designer said on his (quite old) interview regarding symbol's design.It's just a case of dumb people infecting the hobby (again). I suggest you to filter players and not engage on conversations with braindead people.
>>96747147>The possibility of there being multiple, completely different Triat is also brought up. Does it make it true? Not reallyIt’s absolutely true. The multiverse is real. You can’t even justify time travel into the past without assuming multiverse.
>>96745193Daybreakers. Rather underrated vamp flick..
>>96747138Ironically, Ilyes would agree since he hates True Brujah even more than normal Brujah.
>>96747080Nta but Metis still isn't a good word for it because they are the opposite of mixed breed. I keep trying to come up with a better term, but there really isn't a good slur for the inbred.
>>96747155? Yes it is real. The Technocracy even goes to them.But that wasn't what I am talking about. I am talking about the fact that just because Werecats says Gaia fucked every Animal Totem, got bred and spawned the Werecreatures, before begging for the dick of the Cat by, who only fucks Gaia because she showed proper respect to him, doesn't make it true.
>>96747186Nah it’s true. In some hypothetical universe. :^)
Reading through MtR. Please help me understand the Companion background.Every level in the background lists a different dice pool bonus, although the amount of bonus dice is equal to the number of dots (eg. at 2 dots you get 2 bonus dice for learning secrets, at 4 dots it's 4 bonus dice for soaking damage). But it also says:>You may use the dice pool bonus listed for each level once per game session.Are they saying you get to use the bonus of each level up to your dots in the background, or do they just mean that it's once per session no matter how many dots you have?Or could you, for example, take 4 dots but declare that your Companion is a cat and therefore get the listed 2 dot bonus (but with 4 bonus dice rather than 2)?
Which clans are the ones controlling the nights where you're from? Here in the boring parts of the rust-belt I imagine it used to be the Ventrue until they got wiped out due to infighting. Now the Nosferatu are the ones trying to steer the boat from crashing.
>>96746977Take the pills and trust the science, reality deviant
>>96741751>the main issue is that vampires burn in sunlight and struggle to stay awake during the day.They'd already talked about daywalkers existing and the possibility of it being a recent turning. They also had a problem: They know a ghoul was present. It'd be more strange to instantly jump to "It must be a werewolf" within less than an hour of there being even a faint hint of such a thing happening. Keep in mind that you, the viewer, have months to calmly contemplate, while the characters have minutes embroiled in madness in which to do so.>Guns aren't an ideal weapon against vampires [baseless conjecture]There's really not much to say here other than to say that you're wrong.>Occam's "blood test" being done by himself was a really bad idea. Not only did it leave him open to being gankedTrue, however everything else is nonsense since Occam was known to not be the ghoul outright, and they address that Marckus was a cripple and leaving him in a relatively safe room wasn't a terrible idea. The kitten thing was weird, but I've seen more awkward conversations at far less appropriate moments.tl;dr be less autistic
>>96745416Good story bad game
>>96747198From my reading, higher dots get every past bonus as well. You can use every bonus once per session. Say you have Dot 5 Lion but you use Dot 2 bonus to learn secrets. You are left with Dot 1-3-4-5 bonuses for that session.And since it says "At the Storyteller's discretion, you may substitute a different animal for your character", just talk with ST to have Dot 5 level Cat even if cats are usually Dot 2 level animals.
>>96745240>no The Lost BoysYou fucking kidding me?
>>96747021>Nta but I have been on /tg/ since like, 2010. newfag> This general was always techie. LOL
>>96747203Not gonna lie, I really can't come up with something interesting for the current state of the Amazon. Like, sure, there are the Dream Speakers and Progenitor prompts, but I feel like this region has been stuck on a "nothing ever happens" mood for the last 5 years or so.
>>96747256Alright, thanks. That was my first reading too but I started second-guessing as I looked longer. The specific bonuses for every level just seemed a bit arbitrary.I took that part about substituting animals to mean "sure you can make your lion a dog if you want, but it's still the same bonus", but yeah I don't think anyone would object to changing the specific animal/bonus.
>>96747309>newfag...you don't know this fucking whole board was created in 2007? I played this shit since 99. Go back to your reddit newfag.
>>96743279I just preferred the greater variety in kiths; my GM liked how versatile hobgoblins are. >>96746977>I don't think anyone here but you likes themI like them; I'd love to play a quirky Progenitor who makes weird creatures. >>96747162>Daybreakers. Rather underrated vamp flick..Agreed!
I also like Changeling The Lost. It’s a genuine horror game.
>>96747382It’s not a genuine horror game for the majority of Lostfags who just want to play as luscious twinky gaybois. Literally not a horror game at that point.
Vampire and Werewolf haven’t been true horror games in a long time. Mage is only horror if you do it right.
>>96747318If I remember correctly, the latest Amazon plot is that Garou and Pentex war against each other in the jungles. Hell, M20 even made that even the Technocracy is protecting it from further degradation.Otherwise, perhaps you can expand the New Impergium (see image) to Amazon and the surrounding? It is certainly easier to implant new Impergium there than in Europe. You can even have Red Talon-Shadow Lords vs Silver Fangs intrigue and politics.
>>96747423True, given how slow things are wereolves killing the people who develop roads and other infrastructure would be a very reasonable explanation.
Underworld was sued by WW who put out a novel 5- 6 years earlier about a Vampire Juliet and Werewolf Romeo. Sony settled out of court within 4 days of the lawsuit being filed, the story is they knew they were absolutely fucked because the writers were openly saying "Yeah we got all our ideas from V:tM, love that game" at convention panels.
>>96747462bram stoker should sue WW for using his vampire ideas
>>96747462Don't be dumb, of course it's not, they're nothing alike, Underworld is no way at all whatsoever just VtM with the names filed off, you'd have to be an absolute retard to think that what are you an idiot?Was my sarcasm thick enough?
>>96747462Is the idea of vampires vs werewolves really all that unique?
>>96747462Why do you have such a hard on for this meme?
>>96747423So Pentex is trying to build shit but the Woofs keep killing as many people as they can get away with, potentially with the New Impergium becoming a nationwide policy. The Progenitors are also involved with preservation efforts, so they might benefit from the existing biology for their projects. The Syndicate is trying to see how to make some money from the place without pissing off the Progenitors too much or giving the Dream Speakers leverage with what little tourism there is, presuming that the Indians still have mages among them.
Underworld fucking sucked. God I hate those movies. They are SO fucking bad. Holy shit.
>>96747607Basically. Pentex has like, 1000+ military personel and a bunch more workers and researchers there.And if it is say, before Chaos Factor, Samuel Haight is there. In pursuit of a legendary Mage and a legendary realm. If it is in modern times, Progenitors and Iteration X started to clean up the place.
