Did you get hazed?
Explain to me why Geist: the Sin-Eaters is the best game.
>>96911505You don't even eat sins. Shit game.
>>96911505From what I remember it doesn't punch you in the dick for trying to play its splat.
Bunny girls need to exist,What forms/how many should they have?Human>Werehare>Bnuy at least. Should their hybrid form have a jack up body & snarling rabbit head? I was thinking it would be interesting if their warform was missing or they had to go through pains to unlock it or somethingHow to handle stuff like Al-Mi'raj, whoopertingers etc? I was thinking the Al-Mi'raj could be like the werehare's unique weapon a knife they can use even in rabbit form.What role would be best suited for bunny Fera? I don't want to step on some of the obscure ones roles
>>96911505>BestDebatable but it is underappreciated. A hopeful splat like Mummy but more in line with being human but wrong. Get to use something like the arcanoi of Wratih and Orpheus and act as ghost busters. It also allows you to win
>>96911505I'm still mad that neither game fully embraces the Crow, revenant archetype. Or at least in the way I want
>>96911552>It also allows you to winElaborate.
>>96911515I would imagine that such a game would be like playing a mix of Russian Roulette and Hot Potato. You devour the sins of the most despicable monsters, both human and inhuman, to free their souls from damnation and to give yourself powers. Can you trick someone into eating the sins that you've accumulated before you too are damned?
>>96911546Hare form for the hispo equivalent. I like the idea of needing to unlock warform while having werehare being more combative than expected. Cause those legs are to die for and the fun of rumors about how that's their war form if they disappeared for a while.Would the al-mi'raj's horn be separate from the antlers of the other types? And for fera role; perhaps, a scout or spy. It feels kinda tough to not just say mediator since hares would probably get included and those are nasty themselves
>>96911546can you imagine a wereharegirl kicking you in the dick with her powerful warform legs hahalmao that'd be funny lol
>>96911482>tqI had a Caitiff that joined the Bahari once. It was a Red Midwife subsect so the focus was about removing vampiric limitations by finding ways for vampires to breed true or without the generational degeneration rather than the usual torture and self mutilation of standard Bahari. I still would ceremonially mutilate myself but healed the wounds immediately to keep up appearances.
Tell me about your cursed, haunted, or just odd locations in the Chronicles of Darkness.
>>96911594I'm thinking wolpertingers might be fallen werehares? Or maybe it's just the result of gifts/fetishes that are usable in hare form? Wolpertinger wings & jackalope horns? If they're permanent parts of the form it's more like Metis mutations isn't it? A sign of corruption? I like the idea of guides being their role. They know the land, they scout & lead others around, their mystics see visons & serve as spirit guides. Two troubles they have is a shit ton of Metis because they keep breeding & having huge families that end up intermingled, & fear/anxiety.Two or three tribes. Europe (Gaelic) Japan, & maybe native american.
>>96911618Neat, did she get particularly high in the subsect or come close to her goal?
>>96911598This would be their "glabro" form. Warform would be a huge muscley werehare with a rabbit head with huge teeth
>>96911643gift and/or fetishes could be fun and depending on how you spin it, it could connect to their war form. I'll get to that in a bit but guides are rather fitting. Fleet of foot, ears and whiskers allowing them to be more aware than most even while running, and being able to burrow for boltholes and the like.All that said, and to kinda compound the idea of wolpertinger and jackalopes, what if their warform is where the antlers and wings come from? Gifts and fetishes can help bring them out, alongside being skilled in speed(wings) or offense(antlers). Which ultimately would point to a greater role, that of fera cavalry in their war forms. Cause I can't quite think of something faster outside of swara while having the musculature to do brutal dynamic entry kicks that they spring board out of.
>>96911482Just the Chantry, he went "undercover" in the Sabbat for a little bit, & he was his own cult leader. He sold those menstrual amulets that transfer blood to you, had people meditate to blood crystals under supervision, I tried to rely on traditional cult building methods & keep the supernatural out of it so there wouldn't be any Masquerade breach. Went through blood like Rick James through cocaine, but I managed.
>>96911657needs a more leporine nose and mouthand also very slight peach fuzz all over h-hhaha
>>96911546>>96911657
I'll melt down your wallsI'll melt your steel gunsI'll make you dumbI'll make you blindDambala send demonsDambala send angelsDambala send fireDambala send water
>>96911647I regained the ability to eat and fuck and managed to get pregnant. I used Vicissitude to hide it but the pack eventually managed to find out. The vinculum kept them from killing me. The chronicle ended close to the time she should have given birth. We managed to track down a low generation elder. The elder used some Presence power to raise our animosity which caused my character and the other Caitiff to fight eachother. The rest of the pack managed to dispatch her but not before we fought eachother to a mutual torpor. The sun was close to rising so the surviving packmates fled. When my character came to, she was laying in an abandoned basement and the child was extracted from her stomach.
>>96911671So you want them to have a hispohareform that a big giant rabbit? That'd be kind of odd for a theme of small elusive runners. What if their ra bit form is just really mutable & they can add wings & antlers & stuff? I'm not opposed to hispohareform, it's just that wolpertingers & jackalopes are rabbit sized, not Buick sized. Warform is a rare thing, sort of a subversion of timid rabbits by being the easterbunny on steroids
>>96911695I got a luck gen, not that I want to post too much AI arthttps://files.catbox.moe/nsoztl.jpeg
>>96911722I figured hispo would just be a bigger hare. Bigger in a proportional sense. Like an Ajaba's crocas is the size of a small bear so hare hispo could be like a husky-sized hare. Something dog sized but is notably still lapine. The rabbit form being mutable could work.
>>96911739That works.
>>96911713Oh dear. I wonder if your fellow midwives were able to catch the baby snatcher if that's what happened.
>>96911482>TQOne of the first games of MtA I had; I have been playing an euthanatos/military spy and had a secret society of faux-masons to infiltrate. Some entropy and just talking and I was in. Then made said society join on a raid against big bad. Went so good, I got promoted to albedo in an epilogue.
Other than the World of Darkness, are there any other good urban fantasy / paranormal games?I've been looking into Urban Shadows, Liminal, City of Mist, Dark Streets & Darker Secrets, and Deliria.
>>96911713>Caitiff Lilith worshipping vicfag made a dhampir babyYeah, this is definitely a portent of Gehenna.
>>96911811Kult. It can be a bit of an acquired taste, though.
>>96911482the last long game i been in cults been such a big part of the story i actually hope they won't be in the next oneevery character in this ran a different setite cult which also made them feel like rival mafia families hiding from the establishment (in this case camarilla) and only working together for mutual benefit

>>96911811Was Unisystem any good?
Anybody else like to max out all their mundane shit before you get into the supernatural?It really looks like it's just me.
>>96911546Mimiga form.
Hypothetically speaking, what would be the optimal solution to the problems of WoD if all the splats (or the good-alligned ones) decides to stop being stupid and actually worked together to solve their problems? Any idea how the major players for each splat might change if World of Friendship comes about?
>>96911560Geist flat-out states that there are three pre-written win conditions for sin-eaters.>CatharsisThe sin-eater resolves their own issues that keep them from moving beyond the underworld, as well as the issues of the geist that binds them to their body. Sin-eater and geist both give the underworld the finger and move on to the true afterlife together.>CabeirosThe sin-eater infuses their geist with the essence of the underworld and shatters any connection that their geist has to the world of the living. Their soul consumes that of the geist and they abandon their flesh to become a chthonic god and rule over the underworld.>CatabasisThe krewe of sin-eaters enhances their esotery, their collective faith and ethos, to the point where they are able to descend into the darkest depths of the underworld and challenge the chthonic gods for the right to change the underworld into something better.
>>96912145Is that from the second edition (because I don't remember that from the first)?
There will come a time when it will be seen that in vain have the Egyptians honored the divinity with a pious mind and with assiduous service. All their holy worship will become inefficacious. The Gods, leaving the earth will go back to heaven; they will abandon Egypt; this land, once the home of religion, will be widowed of its gods and left destitute. Strangers will fill this country, and not only will there no longer be care for religious observances, but a more painful thing, it will be laid down under so-called laws, under pain of punishments, that all must abstain from acts of piety towards the gods. Then this holy land, the home of sanctuaries and temples, will be covered with tombs and the dead.O Egypt, Egypt, there will remain of the religion only fables, and thy children in later times will not believe them; nothing will survive save words engraved on stones to tell of thy pious deeds. The Scythian or the Indian, or some other such conquering neighbor will establish himself in Egypt. For behold the divinity goes back up to heaven; and men, abandoned, all die, and then, without either god or man, Egypt will be nothing but a desert.
>>96912222It is from the second edition, but even in the first edition, the catharsis ending is still possible.
What would you do had you saw a group of Tzimisce walking their herd of humans using their intestines as leashes?
>>96912263turn 1080 degrees and walk out the door
>>96912263wonder how the rest of the sabbat puts up with this
>>96912111It wouldn't work out because as the "good-aligned" splats band together to resolve one problem, another problem would have the opening it needs to achieve its endgame. If the Traditions focus all of their efforts on dealing with the Wyrm and helping werewolves avert the Apocalypse, they're leaving the Technocracy and Nephandi and Marauders uncontested, for example.There's just too much shit going on in the World of Darkness for the "good guys" to deal with it all, even if they all band together. Besides, even if they come close to victory, they'll inevitably turn on each other because they're all aiming for different endgames (most of which are very bad for humanity).
You will never be a real kindred. You have no dots, you have no vitae, you have no status. You are a disciplineless human twisted by the Curse of Caine into a crude mockery of vampiric perfection.All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back elders mock you. Your coteriemates are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your low blood pool behind closed doors.Kine are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed kine to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even thinbloods who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a kine. Your pallid skin is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk ghoul home with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a sip of your thin, impotent vitae.You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single evening and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a stake, go outside, put it into your heart, and wait for the sun to rise. Your sire will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a kine is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably human.This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
>>96912358Then why tf did you embrace me if you couldn’t make a real cainite?
>>96911633Halloween session of my old Hunter: the Reckoning game. PCs' car broke down on a desert highway. A clear night, they saw all these tumbleweeds rolling ominously towards the car. And then they heard it on the breeze. Entrance of the Gladiators, played on a hand-cranked organ, growing closer."CLOWNS!? Ohhh, you son of a bitch!" My players exclaimed.But as the music grew louder, the tumbleweeds hesitated, then rolled away. Sure enough, a strange group approached the car. Two circus-style clowns, one carrying the organ. A party clown, with a gas lantern, looking nervously around. And a Juggalo, for some reason. They politely told the hunters it wasn't safe out tonight, and they should come back with them to the nearby motel. A clown-themed motel, built in the 50's when that sort of thing might have made sense.The hunters slept badly. The clowns were weird, and there was definitely supernatural shit going on. But they were okay hosts, and the PCs were able to leave the next day. Eventually, the hunters came back to investigate properly. The clowns were drawn to this motel by instinct. There was an old cemetery on a hill, out behind the motel. They felt a weird desire to perform for the dead, but also suffered from troubling nightmares and stress. Similar nightmares began to afflict the PCs, dreams that touched on their personal desires and fears. Always they would leave the motel, be herded towards the hill, be threatened or enticed into digging. There was something evil under that hill. Something ancient. The people buried around it and the clowns performing were keeping it contained, part of a ritual that was no longer understood, only intuited...The spookiest part? Back when I ran this, I had only heard that such motels existed. I had NO idea that this one was in Nevada, that it still existed, or that it was RIGHT NEXT TO A REAL CEMETERY. Also, if this song had come out 15 years earlier, I'd have used it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94yNdFq3iSA
>>96912040Nah, unless you are playing CofD where the progression is less shit it is too much of a shot in the foot.
>>96912369Roll of the dice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What's the point of having both Dominate and Presence when Presence mogs the other so hard?
>>96912111In WoD the evil aligned parts of splats, Baali - BSD - Nephandi, do actually work together sometimes because they have somehow common goalThe good aligned parts, Salubri/Osiris - Gurahl - What would you even put for Mage?, don't ever team up because they don't have to, they don't have a common goalThough I can actually see Salubri individual teaming up with a Gurahl, they're somehow similar
>>96912412Lol what the fuck
>>96911482Got to reading some V5 booksIt's incredible how poorly written everything is. Of course you somewhat expect bad quality, I mean it's a book about vampires written by trannies, but still, sometimes you stop and think; they are BOOKS. For fuck's sake I'm not reading a blog, this is a product sold in libraries. People pay for this? The only thing you need to have a book is a person who knows how to write. They couldn't find any?You can also instantly tell when the writer of a segment is a woman- which is too often
>>96912560>Though I can actually see Salubri individual teaming up with a Gurahl, they're somehow similarNah, despite everything the Salubri are still vampires.
>>96912481And then you wonder why you get Diablerized. :^)
>>96912530Presence requires six or more dots, low generation elder tier shit, in order to directly compel someone to do things that might go against their interests. Dominate can accomplish that right out of the gate.Sure, Presence can make a vampire incredibly charismatic and appealing, but unless they get up into those advanced powers, they won't be able to compel a hostile hunter to blast his buddy's brains out, especially not with a single word. Dominate can do that.
>>96912667Dominate has enough counter play where that's a reasonable thing to have. Presence just amplifies the usual social maneuvers to actually be useful consistently.
>>96911482Masquerade>RequiemApocalypse<<<<<<<<<<<<<<ForsakenAscension<AwakeningLost>DreamingWraith<<<<<<<<<<<<<GeistFallen>>>>>>>>>>>>DescentI think overall CofD is better but Vampire being the most popular splat and Masquerade>Requiem killed cofd
>>96912695No shit Sherlock. It's almost as if Requiem 1e was a cluster fuck that crippled the development of the game line until they got their shit together only for V20 to be released soon after.
>>96912692It all depends on whether your ST allows diplomancer shit and stuff like>Well, I guess you can convince the hostile hunter holding you at gunpoint to work for you as your loyal minion, if you roll well enough.If your ST allows social rolls to accomplish the sort of shit that should only possible with Dominate, then >>96912530 is right and Dominate is useless.
