Did you thank the creator(s) for it?
I'm deeply obsessed with any magic rituals that leave a mark on person which may grant powers, may they be used freely or at additional costWhat are some cool rituals that can grant interesting powers to users but leave visible marks?of course I posted right before a new thread
>>96927128I'm sorry anon. In relation to your question, there was a homebrew clan book I was reading that gave abyss ceremonies physical effects. An altered and uplifted 'obtenebration=physical stats' caused your pitch covered parts to be permanently stained.

>>96927128>Occhio d'Uomo Morte: The Necromancer plucks an eye out of the corpse whose soul became a ghost. The eye is then prepared under the new moon, under the burning of incense and chanting. At the climax, the Necromancer plucks on of his own eyes out and switches it with the one from the corpse. The Necromancer can then permanently see beyond the Shroud. If the soul became a Spectre, the Necromancer can catch glimpses of the Hive-Mind.
>>96927188>If the soul became a Spectre, the Necromancer can catch glimpses of the Hive-Mind.This sounds like one of those conditions where a storyteller takes that character away from a player.
>>96927335Eh>Furthermore, if it was a Spectre’s corpse, the vampire can hear the vague murmuring of any Spectres in the area. This ability isn’t very precise; rather than mind reading, it’s more like trying to overhear a low-voiced conversation in the next room. With a Perception + Occult roll, the Necromancer can glean a very vague impression of what nearby Spectres are up to. Botching this roll may well earn the necromancer a new derangement (at the Storyteller’s discretion), as the whispers creep into the caster’s subconscious.https://www.scabard.com/pbs/campaign/389254/item/393526

>>96927015There is a gift that allows a non-kinfolk human to be immune to the delirium for a time, but it's a level 5 one, which means only elders (the ones least likely to take on a normal child) can have it
>>96927672I feel like this is, or there should be, a rite to confer kinfolk status. Probably in one of the CoG books.
>>96927122>My meme got used as an OP imageI'm flattered.
>>96927759There is and it is, in fact, a Children of Gaia rite. The revised tribebook does mention that they want to pass it to the other tribes, though Captcha:0TWAR

>>96927862The Garou are so retarded that it makes no sense. There are over a dozen reasonable ways that they could have used to have flooded the world with Kinfolk and Garou by now, it's fucking insane that they're so retarded that they've never used any of them. The Garou are so mind-numbingly stupid that it boggles belief, I do not get how anyone can have fun playing a genuine retard, or wrangling these genuine retards. Fuck this Swiss cheese setting.
>>96927888the only exotic part is the ammo
>>96927930Garou were a bad attempt to hammer Druid-shape DnD classes into a VtM-shaped hole.
>>96928045The worst part is that they could have done it a thousand times better. How did they fuck it up so badly?
>>96927930Gaia wasn't big on actually thinking things through, that's the Weaver's job. Yet another massive spider W
>>96928054You're talking about the setting that has ancient vampire clans named Ventrue and LasombraNo part of WoD is well written
>>96928067Stop being so thin-skinned and just admit that WtA is shit.
>>96926647>As a couple anons put forth from a previous thread; Garou harems lend themselves to Wyld corruption more than anything else. Trying to magical realm it just won't fit for the GarouIs this something written in books or just theorycrafting/headcanon for their game?
>>96927759Kinfolk can have Renown and even in Kinfolk book (both 2e and W20) has Background that confers you some dots in Renown. There's a whole chart of Kinfolk Renowns, but Garou Nation almost doesn't confer Renown to Kinfolk and the minimun slip is enough of a excuse for Garou to strip away those tiny Renown dots your Kinfolk got with ten times the effort Garou gets Renown.
>>96928107Welcome to Garou society, where you treat the people actually allowing you to exist and function like shit. Terminal retardation is what's always holding the woofs back.
>>96926315>>96926349>>96926409>>96926647>>96928098Researchers already proved wild wolves are not as monogamous as people thought they were. There are papers from 2023 that studied the behavour of wolves for around 25 years and monogamy wasn't priority between wolves. In fact, they changed between mates quite often and with no apparent reason.If you go by "muh realism" in this matter, you can certainly do your harem fantasy without an issue.
>>96928067Difference is that those clans readily admit the names don't make sense and have likely been contemporaryized from older words.
>>96928067corny names are easier to ignore or even embrace as part of the flavor
>>96928054It's extra weird, because Heigan wanted WoD to be classic and pop culture horror as a setting, but WtA doesn't have anything to do with actual werewolves, who are usually outright demonic.
>>96928194Blame Brucato, he's responsible for most of WoD's retardation.
>>96928194>but WtA doesn't have anything to do with actual werewolves, who are usually outright demonic>outright demonic>anon only knows one type of werewolf folkloreSurprising a total of 0 anons in this general.
>>96928198actually WTA was the brainchild of Wieck and Hatchmostly hatch from what i can see given that he was behind every wta corebook og whitewolf put out
>>96928087At this point I'm convinced this is some bizarre cuckold kinfolk roleplay.
>>96928241>UsuallyI didn't say always you hair splitting faggot.
>>96927930>The ginger are so retarded that it makes no sense. There are over a dozen reasonable ways that they could have used to have flooded the world with gingers by now, it's fucking insane that they're so retarded that they've never used any of them. The ginger are so mind-numbingly stupid that it boggles belief, I do not get how anyone can have fun being a genuine retard, or wrangling these genuine retards. Fuck this Irish setting.
>>96928291And still you're prioritizing the "outright demonic" folklores of werewolves instead of just being in peace this isn't the kind of werewolf folklore this game perpetuates and go search a game that fulfills your needs, you're here doing the most basic bitch complaining about WtA.
>>96928317Fuck off. Cite five examples of non-demonic werewolves in folklore right now or get the fuck out.
>ITT: Anons forgetting TTRPG can be shaped however you want
>>96928349>I can do whatever I want in TTRPGs, therefore my elves are actually a species of bacteria that live subsist on fungus on the surface of Venus! I'm such an avant garde genius.Fuck off. Words have meaning.
>>96928346>telling an anon who is more than ok with the setting to fuck off instead of yourself getting the fuck off of a thread that doesn't have a game tending to your likingsOh, dear...
>>96928360Yes. That's actually genius. Interesting to work on. Thank you for the idea!
>>96928317>still you're prioritizing the "outright demonic" folklores of werewolvesYes.>this isn't the kind of werewolf folklore this game perpetuates Which is why it's bad.
>>96928365So you concede that you can't even name a single piece of werewolf folklore that isn't demonic in nature.
>>96928150Source? I find that plausible, but I want to see the studies myself However, I think the garou being monogamous has more to do with the fact that they usually take after the customs of whichever region they’re living in at the time, and most of the tribes (especially the more traditionalist ones) are from Europe, which is mostly monogamous societies (with varying degrees of acceptance towards side affairs or concubines) even before christianity got big there
>>96927122>25 round magI though the weaver was supposed to be smart. Why the fuck did it go with the retarded f*ench design?
>>96927128you can get lower ranking investures or 3 infernal disciplines or your first dots in dark thaum in exchange for a "mark of the witch" which is just any sort of visible mark on your body
>>96928067Whats significant about the names?
>>96928500She weaves Her webs in mysterious ways
If I want to fuck shit up as a wraith, what's the best way?
>>96927122>TQmy players (VtMv5) spent an entire session acquiring and building a flamethrower. They succeeded on all of the rolls that I asked of them. They are also thinbloods, so they can't even frenzy from seeing the flame. I think the boss fight would be trivial now, but they worked for it
>>96928623What you’re throwing at them as the final boss?
>>96927930>There are over a dozen reasonable ways that they could have used to have flooded the world with Kinfolk and Garou Mind giving some examples?
>>969286454 generation-12 vampires. Depending on what players do, they will fight them one by one or together (if they fuck up). The caveat is they need to put these vamps into torpor, not kill them outright. So that should add something to the difficulty even with a flamethrower on their side
>>96928672Well, if they have to be brought in “alive” then I don’t think the flamethrower will make things too easy. Might be cool to see how they use it without harming the vampires (too much)
So there is the wyld the weaver and the wyrm, and gaia. Is gaia supposed to be a blend of all three? Every time I read something about gaia it feels like it should be more wyld instead. What's the distinction?
>>96928617Posses people to destroy random bullshit or control machines to destroy random bullshit.
>>96928722Gaia is an embodiment of life as a concept, but it’s hotly debated if she came first and created the Triat or if the Triat were born first and then created Gaia together (before the Weaver went crazy and trapped the Wyrm, making him go crazy as well)
>>96928722Gaia is the spirit of the planet earth or the entire universe depending on who you ask. The Wyld doesn't do shit because the writers really, and I mean REALLY, couldn't be bothered to make the spirit of change relevant on a large scale.Balanced spirits and anything like it is largely a joke because we get fuck all in terms of examples outside an en times scenario where the Weaver and Wyrm fuck and destroy creation as we know it and that was supposed to be a good ending.
How did Werewolf get to be part of the big 3 books when the lore feels so half baked compared to Vampire and MageThis isn't particularly big praise for Mage or Vampire but they at least feel less stupid
>>96928822Sales. white wolf back then tried to push every single splat line (at least till revised) as the new big thing to dehtrone vtm and werewolf and mage are the only other two who really stuck the landing with a fanbase
>>96928822Furries. Furries pour money into and devote attention to anything that remotely panders to them. If it wasn't for furfaggotry, WtA would be THE bottom splat of WoD.
>>96928669Convincing Gurahl to bring all of their dead back to life, convincing Ajaba to make sure all of their children are Garou, convincing spirits to turn humans into Kinfolk, breeding with spirits to produce guaranteed Garou, breeding with more normal humans to turn the whole human population Kinfolk, using rites to turn humans into Kinfolk, optimal breeding strategies with wolf Kinfolk, optimal breeding strategies with human Kinfolk, breeding with other Fera to produce guaranteed Fera offspring, using modern technology to clone Garou, convincing Gaian spirits to mass-possess humans and fight the Wyrm and mass-converting Kinfolk into Gaian Skin Dancers. There's a few examples.
>>96928889All of those would require the dogs to think, so they are basically impossible.
>>96928920If werewolves are so retarded that they can't even do any of them, then the setting and the whole game is retarded too.
>>96928889>convincing Gaian spirits to mass-possess humans and fight the WyrmI think spider mommy would have something to say about that one.
>>96928889>Gaian Skin DancersThe hell is that?
>>96928947woof themselves would have to say something about thatthey are known to kill kami after all because they don't like the competition
>>96928951Same rite used to produce Skin Dancers can be used to produce Skin Dancers sans Wyrm corruption, as long as the pelt donors are skinned consensually.
>>96928945The setting is indeed retarded in May aspects. The Werewolves are just of the main examples.
>>96929015No, the majority of the World of Darkness is fine, it's just Werewolf the Apocalypse that is irrefutably shit.
>>96928975People didn't want to flesh that out because that allows them to uplift kinfolk into full garou, making their whole conflict basically irrelevant.
>>96929027And that's retarded.
>>96925603>>96925642Yes, it's a World Of Darkness. But generally the opposition is the Darkness(tm) and you're usually playing as something that, while touched by it, is not overtly, entirely evil. That's why Humanity 0 vampires, barring circumstances, revert to the ST, going all the way back.And I know that the EVERYTHING IS FUCKED, HAHA is a sort of keystone to the WoD's end-times fixation, grown out of what it became, but I still feel it's more the pragmatic avenue to deal with the shit rather than to accept or become the shit.Then again, my soul has been put through a blender in the last week and I'm looking out at the world where I see every actual dark game and trap for what it is, and so the WoD's 90s approach seems unnecessary. Everything in the World Of Darkness is basically real. Every conspiracy and cabal and crooked secret society based around indulgence and cruelty and destroying the world already existed or has been delivered unto reality as though summoned from the depths of both fantasy and Hell to fill power vacuums the demand for cause or purpose. And I am having a really hard time figuring out how to move forward in life. Shit sucks.
>>96928473There you go, mate.>https://sidorovich.blog/2023/10/22/how-wolves-break-the-idea-of-the-species-monogamy/In my mind, I prefer Garou being a mix for reasons of:1. They still have preferences on what type of romantic relationship they wanna engage with;2. Fera DNA, which is recessive, must be spread as much as they can and so they go on multiple relationships. Normaly one-night stands because as by the book majority of kinfolk are still stray. Lineages of kinfolk families within Garou Nation are rare.So Garou (and Fera in general) can be non-monogamous without any difficulty. They can have a partner and still fool around from time to time, or simply have multiple partners to saciate their needs (which is the basis of any relationship). Children of Gaia and Black Furies are good examples for that.Even Gurahl who have a "breeding rite" for finding a partner is just based on "my DNA and my partner's DNA are the best combination to produce the best child and possible future Gurahl", without any real love involved.
>>96928118Every splat is semi dysfunctional, this is just how WoD is. Vampires are scheming backstabbers only in it for themselves minus a small exception, Hunters are schizophrenics who don't understand nuance among other things, Werewolves are angry retarded assholes, etc. They're "the good guys" only insofar that they fight literal abominations trying to ruin the world
>>96929095But only the Garou are so fucking dysfunctional that they're impossible to play without being a retard wrangler.
>>96929103The Garou are dysfunctional, indeed. But player characters shouldn't. They're the ones who will change the Nation and guide them to a better path. This is literaly with every splat in WoD.
>>96929037WoD can be campy and less depressive, as well as have upbeat endings. It's just certain gamelines (W5, V5, WtO, maybe H5) are kind of misery-coded. There's always Geist, Mummy, older editions that aren't so heavy on the shit sucks and everyone has to suffer vibe. Of which I think W5 suffers from it the most
>>96929083You know, a funny Hunter PC/NPC could be a character getting pursued by a Garou for the breeding right. Though I suppose it's up to the players/ST if this is a good thing and if the local angry furry isn't going to kill people
>>96929128But none to the point of the Garou where every single NPC is so bogglingly retarded that it's impossible to believe that they're capable of even breathing. I've met people suffering from Downs Syndrome who are more capable of sane decision-making than they are.
>>96929159That's a good concept and I already bumped in a NPC like that.I played as a Ravnos reconnecting with his romani heritage and in his family's kumpania there was a Hunter who was breeding stock for the Black Furies. He wanted to hunt them down, but my character convinced him not to.
>>96929103No, you can play PCs without a tard wrangler, it's mostly in lore Garou that are retarded. It's just fun to talk about. Although, having a tard wrangler PC to keep the retard dudebro woof archetypes from killing themselves when they default to hulk smash is their own archetype but you don't need to play every WtA character as a ragebeast. The compelling aspects of WtA are also about fighting with a self-defeating culture and changing things for the better, much more so than what you can do with Mage and Vampire
>>96929138>spoilerI feel one of the bigger missed opportunities of 'apocalypse happened; things fall' is that apparently nothing lasting happened to the wyrm. As if wyvr wouldn't be using this chance to poison it into sleep.
>>96929179No, if even modern Garou were remotely sane, the Apocalypse wouldn't be happening. There are literally so many obvious solutions within the framework of the setting and the lore that it provides that if modern werewolf NPCs within the chronicle are not capable of figuring these out on their own, then they are blithering retards incapable of any coherent thought.
>>96929173We're exaggerating, they're not mind bogglingly retarded, they're just at an intersection of zealotry, anger, and ancestor worship where they do what grandpa used to do because it worked out then and should work now. NPCs are only retarded in that they're too deep in to really try to change what they're comfortable with, and even then not every NPC needs to be an angry asshole. A good amount might even give helpful ideas to PCs, but it's up to players to want to play the game their way and change things. also wolves can be like this because it was only until recently ish that production of weaponry and technology reached a boiling point they can no longer fight with just big regenerating bodies
>>96928889>breeding with other Fera to produce guaranteed Fera offspringThere's nothing in the book that says that. If so, please give me source. This was a point of discussion in my game.
>>96929181Yeah the setting is underbaked in a lot of ways to tie it with how V5 and H5 are. Doesn't help also that that the setting was also "the apocalypse happened and by Gaia it was gay"
>>96929178That is pretty interesting, surprisingly good natured of your Ravnos to stop the guy from getting himself killed
>>96929191Well, you have the outsider looking in perspective. You have to keep in mind wolves basically lived under millennia of dogma, oral tradition, and have to grapple with supernatural rage trying to prevent logical thoughts beyond>This smells of Wyrm corruption>I must smash thisAgain, PCs are exceptional and not every Werewolf NPC MUST be a retarded dudebro, they're just minority voices
>>96929206No, they literally are that retarded, stop being so defensive. You don't need to die on the hill of WtA, people are allowed to dislike your game. There are so many sensible and rational things that Garou could do to save Gaia and they do... none of them. Everything that the Garou Nation does, outside of the players, literally harms their cause. They are so retarded that they have literally never done anything that remotely serves the cause that they fight for. They are retarded, mindless self-destruction made manifest.>>96929240Fuck off. I've been playing WtA for longer than you've been alive.
>>96929083I don't know how much I trust some guy's blog about the wolves in one forest to be anything definitive about the behavior of wolves.
>>96929252Watch out, everyone, we have an "old player" here!
>>96929261We will have to wait for other blog posts worthing 25 years of studies about other wolves in other forests.
>>96929252>Sensible and Rational things that Garou could doThen we wouldn't have a WtA game, it'd just be a setting fixture for VtM or HtR instead
Seriously, why the fuck are WtA players so defensive? Just admit your game is shit and move on. Stop defending something that is this obviously awful.
>>96929083Interesting read, thanks for sharing. And yes, it does lend itself to my theory that the garou are monogamous mostly for culture reasons rather than wolf instincts pushing them to stick around
>>96929294No one's actually defending the game being the way it is, we're just saying it's fun because of the way it is
>>96929290And that's why WtA is the fucking worst thing to ever happen to the World of Darkness. VtM? Vampires are flawed but still human. Hunter? Hunters are flawed but still human. Mage? Mages are flawed but still human. Werewolf? Werewolves are so retarded that if they had even a single rational thought for even a second, if they had even a fraction of human intelligence, the whole setting would fall apart because the setting is founded on werewolves making literally every single incorrect decision imaginable throughout ten thousand years of history.
>>96929308No, it's not fun because of the way it is, it's fucking ridiculous and immersion-shattering. By claiming that it's fun, you're defending it. It's not fun, it's as retarded as the werewolves that it's focused on. Just admit that your game is retarded and unfun.
WtA is fun
>>96929336If you actually played it, you would know that it isn't.
>>96929336In small doses
>>96929315Well Werewolves ruined everything sure but it's not like they ruined everything purely by themselves, between the Weaver and the Wyrm doing a lot go silly shit independent of the Garou making everything worse
>>96929324>He doesn't enjoy the ecoterrorismThat's fine and you're free to hate it, personally I enjoy the setting enough for quick games. I never really know what to do with it beyond that
>>96927371>>96927375>>96927377>>96927380These are so neat. Can you post more?
>>96928889>Convincing Gurahl to bring all of their dead back to lifeThat's LITERALLY how the War of Rage started.Also half of what you said (breeding programs, mostly), the Glass Walker are already trying, but it's kind of a doomed effort by now.All of this btw, because the matchmaking Apis who were able to exactly predict Fera lineages and could have had the Garou produce another Garou 100% of the times, were slaughtered too during the War of Rage.
>>96929336Correct.
>>96929336Indeed it is, my friend.
>>96929037>you're usually playing as something that, while touched by it, is not overtly, entirely evilYou just described woofs in WtA. It doesn't have to be the nihilism of "nothing matters, so nothing we do matters and we won't do anything", it's also the nihilism of "nothing matters, so we can do anything, and we choose to still try".
>>96929420>This causes Seething in the BSDProbably one of my favorite reads recently
>>96928951>>96928975Ok hear me out:> The BSD mate with each other with no regards for the Litany> That means there's an excessive number of BSDs regardless the fact that they're a single tribe> We go hunt for BSDs and skin them by default> For every five we uplift a kinfolk through Skin Dancing> We cleanse the wyrm taint with some big-ass Rite> Even if that fails and the guy comes out bonkers, it's still just one BSD to the five we killed
>>96929368As long as you accept the very obvious flaws of the game and stop bitching whenever anyone mentions them.
>>96929437Yeah, the BSD are basically an extreme version of the first route. Unfortunately it seems like anon (and a lot of people in general) view nihilism as only that, which is understandable but simply inaccurate.
>>96929490You're not listing objective flaws you're just ranting about your read of the Garou's flaws
>>96929159>You know, a funny Hunter PC/NPC could be a character getting pursued by a Garou for the breeding rightImagine being a hunter, trying to do your thing only to be hit with "suddenly werewolf" and have it happen again and again. Both scary and funny if you ask me.
>>96929489>Burn though kinfolk (and likely some dude's cousin) on a gamble>Catch and skin 5 BSDThis seems dangerous considering you'll be making a 2nd class citizen with even less self-control
>>96929521The flaws of the Garou are the flaws of the game because the Garou are just that retarded.
>>96929338>>96929347>>96929382>>96929394Who is telling the truth
>>96929561Me
>>96929561That guy
>>96929553Feel free to continue proving my point I guess. >>96929315>>96929252None of this is objective reasoning about the game.
>>96928889>breeding with more normal humans to turn the whole human population KinfolkIn a world where the Technocracy exist that would be close to impossible considering their stance on reality deviants. You can bet your ass the progenitors would be working overtime on some magic vaccine to prevent that.
>>96929565Does truth exist? Or are merely the strongest collective will imposing its view upon the world?
>>96929522More like "suddenly werewolf" and "you recognize this werewolf". Might be pants-shitting without context if the Hunter imagines the werewolf is hunting, but doesn't stick around long enough to confirm it could even have the Hunter getting stalked in day time . Would be more impressive if they've seen a werewolf turn a dude into a blob on the ground before
>>96927888Complete your Clarification, Anon. Join us and help Mother complete her dream of perfect order. Ignore the worshippers of false idols, their forms imperfect, their reasoning flawed.
>>96929596You'd think at some point the Technocracy would accept their new kinfolk reality
>>96929626Control disagrees and Iteration X makes sure reality deviants can't disagree
>>96929596You can actually explain why most splats can't solve their issues when it comes to dealing with humans with "quantum Technocracy">>96929626They won't because they still haven't figured out why the garou didn't stop existing when people stopped believing they exist like how the techies did with dragons
>>96929037Our real world has always been a dystopia but without the fiction. No cool powers/abilities/technology. Its just evil & mundane
>>969271227.62 big as hell, knock a Kindred lungs out
>>96929647Didn't the dragons get kidnapped by a Mage instead of poof out of existence
>>96929647Splats can't solve their issues because the authors didn't want them to, simple as.
>>96929680And that's called terrible fucking writing, especially if it leads to splats becoming as retarded as werewolves are.
>>96929615As a true huntard I'd start carrying silver everywhere I go, doesn't matter what I'm hunting. The idea of being stalked by werewolves is pretty scary and paranoia inducing.
>>96929697Can't disagree but that's just the way things are and they're not gonna get any better. Best you can do is homebrew some fixes for these issues.
>>96929711What if you're getting stalked for sex ?Honestly I would agree with you. Shit would be scary knowing you'd have no chance. At a certain level of knowledge I would probably start carrying cold iron too
>>96929252Why are you so fucking focused on pissing off the WtAfags? You dont need others to yield to your worldview bro.
>>96929697I agree, Mage is retarded.

>>96929615Are imbued (assuming we're talking about an imbued hunter instead of a regular Joe/Jane with a gun and 10 dot will) immune to animal attraction? Why doesn't the woof use his aura of horniness to get at least a one night stand?
>>96929774Anon, it's not delusion, it's the truth. Don't fall for techie propaganda
>>96929782Imbued have resistance to the supernatural iirc but assuming not imbued, I wouldn't know. Maybe the Woof is trying to be normal, score a potential LTR. Could make it a problem for the Hunters in figuring out the Werewolf's intentions and if they're trustworthy
>>96929774>being one of the imbuedAnd they say the adversary didn't lie about existing
>>96929768Because they're so fucking sensitive and refuse to admit how shit WtA is.
The Margrave is factually less retarded than any Kindred authority of the Final Nights
>>96929878Did he stop being a werewolf? If not, factually incorrect.
Which vampire clan has the best, biggest, roundest male bubble butts?
The Werewolf discussions will continue until sperging subsides

>>96929902This is going too far. There's a line where horny posting in WoD goes too far and we've long since crossed it.This isn't /Trash/. If you want to post WoD fetishes, post a thread there.
>>96929374looks like various artistshttps://metinseven.artstation.com/projects/GaJ911https://www.instagram.com/thespianpixelshttps://x.com/BlindCherub/medialast artist particularly reminds me of a certain style similar to a game called world of horror
>>96929658>Bragging about 30 CalI get this an innuendo, but you just implied to gun-nuts that your dick is small and unimpressive rather than massive. Was that intentional?
The discussions in this general have been so bad for, say, a month or so I'm starting to believe someone who hated this general programmed an artificial stupidity and just leaves it on in the thread
Given the upswing in Werewolf: the Apocalypse discussion, we should probably split the "Big Three" into their own separate general.
>>96929950Ask the rapper I was quoting
>>96929958*paraphrasing, I should say. Obviously Nardo Wick doesn’t know what VtM is
>>96929956I feel like this comes up every week or so. I wouldn't say it's a terrible idea but the 9 wraith posters probably aren't going to keep the general populated
>>96929956No>>96929954It's tourists.
>>96929981>9 wraith postersAll me btw
>>96929998And me, though I've accepted I'll never play
>>96929782imbued are not only immune against mental attacks of all kinds (much to the chargin of vampires and certain mages) you also can't hide your supernatural nature (this includes even minor splats like kinfolks or sorcerers) from them and said nature is instinctively seen as wrong by themcertain imbued (mostly Waywards and some Avengers) even go so far as to murder the families of "monster" even if they are normal like ask God45 who offed his entire family because his son was ... something probably a changeling >the doors of perception opened wide and Joshua saw his son as he really was: a blotch, a stain, inhuman. Joshua’s reaction was blind, irrational, murderous. He took a knife and cut the boy’s throat. His wife attempted to stop him, and even though she looked perfectly normal, Joshua reacted insanely and broke her neck. Surely the infection had already spread to her, he perceived implicitly; she spent more time with the boy than he did.but there is a certain irony when it comes to the topic of kinfolk and imbued because some imbued tried to set up breeding camps for their own kind because they disliked how john every man might get imbued and then wouldn't be the most deadly killing machine he could be. So in that case the schizos are not better than the furries
>>96929998>>96930017>the singular wraith poster
>>96929848Right... but why do YOU need them to?
>Me staring at another anon who likes Changeling: The Dreaming
Could/have kinfolk betrayed their pack to hunters, in a way that the hunters would've definitely killed the garou?
>>96929998I'm your Shadow. And it was all your fault. It didn't have to be this way. You could have saved them.
>>96929956Wouldn't work. Discussions of each splat waxes and wanes at random on this general. Sometimes it's vampires, other times it's mages, then it's woofs, a few times it's one of the other splats, etc... Putting each splat in its own general would lead to them being dead for days or weeks while one of them hits bump limit twice or more a day for a time. And putting Mage, Vampire and Werewolf on a separate general would just lead to the same shitflinging we're seeing now going forward while the minor splats one gets 3-4 posts per week
>>96930036>Imbued breeding campsDamn, writers were thinking with their dicks in the old books. I know wraith is misery porn but what about changeling, mummy, or demon? Can't see much of the fetish aspects in those
>>96930060This would seem pretty common but what's stopping the Hunters from killing the kinfolk?
>>96930067Then how do we reduce the discussions of the Big Three and increase the discussions of all the rest?
>>96930069>what about changeling [...] Can't see much of the fetish aspects in thoseBoy have I got news for you!
>>96930081By getting people to actually play and read those other lines.
>>96930075Why would they if they're sincere about protecting people/killing monsters? Hell, what if a bunch of disillusioned kinfolk formed their own hunter group?
>>96930083You know what, the Waywards are right.
>>96930036>imbued breeding campsAren't imbued randomly chosen by either Lucifer or a pair of chinese demigods?
>>96930041I don't need them to, I just need them to stop rushing to defend WtA whenever anyone says a negative thing about it. You can't be remotely critical about WtA without someone going:>WtA being absolutely retarded is a good thing and what makes it so fun!
>>96930094>Probably know a lot more than they're letting on>If they procreate they can make more werewolves>Hunters might feel used after they see the werewolf revert to normal formUnlikely though yeah, but I think Kindred werewolf hunters was mentioned in the books. There was one particularly>That GuyLooking kinfolk who did the skin stealer stuff, drank vampire blood, was a Mage for a bit or something. Very crazy
What would the Garou Nation's reaction be if a bunch of genuinely heroic AND very powerful hunters wiped out the Red Talons and told them to play nice with humanity or they'll next? No, not shit about exterminating the hunters, assume the hunters are that powerful to actually annihilate werewolves.
>>96930060Think bigger. Kinfolk have slipped the net to join Pentex.>>96930081How about not trying to smother their discussion when talked about.
>>96930069the breeding camps are extra weird because they just don't work at all it! imbuing is not at all genetic so all they end up with are a bunch of babies with schizo parents who will probably blow themselves up before their kids go to elementary school >changelingchangeling is -super- horny they have a entire subsplat about being horny (satyr) and one about being super pretty (sidhe) with the later having a house that is all about romance who both talk about how it is to date all other changelings + fianna+ verbana>demonthere are several demons in the books who talk about how awesome having a body and especially sex is and enjoying human life is a way to starve off torment so you can actually "i can fix her" meme a demon in wod >mummynot very the first two edition mention nothing of the sort and the third just mentions that they can have kids
>>96929958>Ask the rapperSo most likely not then.
>>96930116Pentex is evil, though. Killing Red Talons to protect humanity is a good thing.
>>96930083Wow, that is kinky. Maybe even more so than Werewolf and Vampire
>>96930112>Werewolves not immediately banding together to suicide rush Hunters after they wiped out a tribe, even the Red TalonsIt'd just be another retarded fight out of thousands
>>96930053I really want to play Changeling but I don't want to respect w*men.
>>96930104Yes. Well the chinese demigods might also be Christian angels at the same time and they are more likely to pick people who have been victimized by supernatural beings.. but yes the breeding camps do nothing at all it's just edge for the sake of it
>>96930133>he doesn't know about the dogfucking revenant gal
>>96930112>genuinely heroic>when they're the villainsI get you're trying to make a point but try not to be so HFY. In any case I think an Incarna would become furious and then make them explode or remind them of their place. Also great job doing effectively what the woofs do.
>>96930083This sounds like the set-up to a harem (and/or rarely a actual romance) anime. That boy isn't going to be in for the surprise of his life at some point.
>>96930123>The changeling/fuanna/verbana polyculeRecipe for disaster
>>96930112The annihilation of yet another tribe weakens the Garou Nation to the point where stopping the Wyrm is impossible. The Apocalypse occurs, the world ends and these hunters, along with the rest of humanity, are destroyed. Good job, heroes.
>>96930123It's not just the Sidhe and Satyrs that have lengthy discussions about sex in their books, the Pooka (yeah the animal guys) book has a whole chapter about sex including two pages on BDSM alone
>>96930123>there are several demons in the books who talk about how awesome having a bodyYou forgot how there's an entire house so tied to the concept of sex that it's required for all their rituals(Defilers).
>>96930161The what?
>>96930161>revenantWell they're not human.
>>96930192one of the premade revenant character in... i think ghouls fatal addiciton? is a white girl from the revenant hilly billy family who used to keep hunting dogs for the tzimisce who is fucking her dogs
>>96929768Someone likes something that he doesn't like and he can't deal with that.
I'm surprised about the lack of female werewolf/male hunter stories. The reverse is overused in fiction and HMOFA's gotten good tract.
>>96930175The heroic hunters earn the favour of Gaia, learn how to defeat the Wyrm, and do so. The Wyrm is defeated, Pentex is dismantled and the Apocalypse is averted by these hunters. They continue to tell werewolves to play nice with humanity or they'll be wiped out. What would the werewolves do in this scenario?
>>96930123>mummy>not veryAnon, the reason the first two books don't mention anything is because they're the classic desicated mummies(Semshu Heru).The 3rd edition mummy can't stop tripping over themselves to in their eagerness to mention how Sensual the new Amenti are. They don't say it directly, but they absolutely imply every other paragraph that most mummies are going to be fucking like rabbits on ecstacy.
>>96930216Male hunters are cowards that's why
All Kinfolk are the same. They're just "spirit affinity members of their respective species. Animal kingolk can only turn into the Fera of their own species but humans can turn into any Fera, though they are usually spiritually inclined to the species of their forebears. This is the hidden wisdom of Gaia
>>96930216Because, believe it or not, most werewolf stories are targetted at a female audience.
>>96930203Revenants are ghouls anon.
>>96930224Seethe and rage, disown Gaia and worship God or some stupid shit like that, choose their ecoterrorism victims more carefully...
>>96930224They'd wake up and be thankful such a delusion has left them. Probably start getting suspicious that something's lurking around the sept.
>>96930272Then they'd really wake up and find out the nightmare is reality and commit collective suicide.
>>96930224That's like asking if a bunch of woofs got super powerful and wiped out all the other supernaturals and stopped fighting humanity, what would hunters do?
>>96930206She fucked them so much she spread a disease that made the females infertile and react with a "oopsie" when she realized that
>>96930253No, no. They're super ghouls, further away from humans and weirder for it.
>>96930294Except they could never do that because of how retarded they are.
>>96930294Fuck the woofs so the future hunters ar woofs too.
>>96929848Youre the sensitive one. You cant handle people talking about WtA. Like, half the posters here arent even defending it, theyre saying they dont care that it's broken & fine it more fun that its broken. Its like youre the whining little bitch at a playground where instead of joining in or just going home or doing something under your own prerogative, youre screaming at a pack of kids having fun playing in the mud going "dont you know mud is dirty?! Why arent you playing on the swings etc instead!?" It's pretty sad
>>96930302Right, just like how hunters could never do what was described in that scenario.
>>96930302Well you see in this case, Mom woke up and they got their heads on right causing them to master the trinity in themselves and heal the Triat. So what do hunters do?
>>96929766>spoilerFalling under the sway of devil's minions? You're not a true hunter if you fall for such tricks. Also, cold iron is nice but you also need to max out that banality. No need to worry about gay farries if they won't even consider approaching you.
>>96930297>>96930206Kek what the hell, one should aspire to be able to pen blatant fetish fuel and have it be popular
No one tell the HFYfags about DNA. It might be the one thing that could make them even more obnoxious.
>>96930232>>96930240Simply no one willing to experiment though the male werewolf / female hunter is probably easier for everyone to self insert into on account of being traditional gender roles whereas male hunter is only for guys into strong women or the whole taming the beast stuff
>>96930313But what if they could?
>>96930318You're so right. One should always work in the DMV and believe in the true power of government bureaucracy to maximize both banality and true faith
>>96930353Then whatever you wanted to happen would happen, since we're obviously not dealing with canon. Maybe the Garou all bow to humanity and suck our dicks and off themselves in shame, does that satisfy you?
>>96930036>even go so far as to murder the families of "monster" even if they are normal like ask God45 who offed his entire family because his son was ... something probably a changelingSounds like they'd get along just fine with faithmaxxers
>>96930381He just wants man-sized dogs. Can't blame him
>>96930381Why are you so mad? Does a scenario in which your precious werewolves eat shit really offend you so badly? Why are you so thin-skinned?
>>96930353Well it wouldn't cause the hunters would turn on each other before they won.
>>96930393Probably. Would argue about how they should proceed and then probably kill each other unless they're j*bber spooks
>>96930390I don't even play WtA, woofs could get erased from the setting for all I care. I don't care if any splat eats shit, WoD isn't some power fantasy escapism for me. Hence why your questions are retarded, you can rewrite werewolves into whatever you want, nobody's stopping you.
>>96930318But how do you combine True Faith and Banality as a hunter? You already know monsters are real, would it be a stretch to assume fae are real and there could be more to the world than working an office job?
>>96930489By becoming a Jack Chick-style evangelical
>>96930413The imbued would see the others as the monsters they are and combust the cell, jobber or otherwise.>>96930489Just be lucky enough to have psionic vampirism. Steal your energy back from the thieves, ez.
>>96930367This but have True Faith in the weaver and become a drone. Now you have superpowers, faith magic, spirit magic and max banality.
Thinking about making a "progressive" Bone Gnawer insufferable NPC.>Thinks the Garou were wrong about the War of Rage and wishes to "make amends" with other Fera>Actually just hates and is happy to kill other Fera because they're too traditionalist and conservative>Claims the Garou using violence to advance their goals is a cryptofascist strategy and resents Elders for pushing it>Happy to use violence against Pentex, including the depressed salarymen and jannies who just want a paycheck, because they're "capitalist fascists">Simps for the Black Furies and claims they're the better tribe for their empowered matriarchy>Is actually very abusive pretty much any female kinfolk>Claims using kinfolk as breeding stock is evil eugenics and problematic>Is in a "polycule" with a bunch of kinfolk who are too afraid to do anything about it>Claims to be tolerant and accepting of others after "forgiving" a bunch of thin-blooded vampires>Hates the Get, Red Talons, Shadow Lords, Beast Courts, Mages and Changelings with a passionHow long do you think it would take for my players to just say fuck it and murderize this thing?
>>96930489i mean technomages and ravnos elders both know that fae exists and they have the highest banality among the splats so it seems like hatred for fae can also be banality
>>96929336THIN-SKINNED THIN-SKINNED THIN-SKINNED
>>96930522I think murdering this thing is too lenient, sending it off to someone who enjoys torturing monsters is better, punishment should fit the crime, right? I'm sure there are plenty of groups interested in breaking such bucks.
>>96930522They'd immediately see it for the farce it is because you're a tryhard.
>>96930336What do you mean? Are genetics different in WoD or something
>>96930522Forget Pentex, I know who to forward her info to.
>>96930527Banality is too scatterbrained of a concept to rule shit out most of the time, so just do whatever fits the plot or make it an entity that just hates the fae so hard it became antimatter to them.
>>96930566DNA is Developmental Neogenetics Amalgamated, a medical research company that is aware of the existence of the Garou, though they're not particularly well-informed about them. They believe that werewolves are a genetic anomaly, that anything supernatural about the werewolves can be explained with science and have captured and studied several Garou specimens at this point. Their ultimate goal is a form of gene therapy that they could use to cure Garou of their condition, though they have engineered a virus called Project Reaper that is capable of wiping out all Fera and Kinfolk across the globe, should they come to the conclusion that the Garou are so widespread and such a significant threat to civilised society that all carriers of the gene must be culled.
>>96930112>how would the Garou handle something as badly written as the Second Inquisition There isn’t an answer that you can’t just “nuh uh!”
>>96930639If H5 allowed people to play as the Second Inquisition I would exclusively play that game in a heartbeat
>>96930053Hey big boy, Seelie or Unseelie? Commoner or Noble?
>>96930224Some of you have no room to criticize nu-WW.
>>96927862CoG Revised is often of dubious canonicity. See also: the rite for allegedly controlling frenzies by having sex in Crinos. Except that the author forgot to actually write out what that entailed, so it's just a rite that involves having sex in Crinos (most likely with other Garou, unless you know a troll changeling who's sweet on you and want to take a side-trip into the Dreaming).>>96930631The company also has serious trouble actually making that happen. The end result was that it only makes a virus that can make the "carriers" (Garou and kin) very ill. Because the genes are just markers and not what allows them to actually do anything ("Garou gene" stopped being a thing in Revised).
>>96930522>Bone Gnawers Hobo living in a polycule and being abusive to the kinfolkPeak freeloader energy. I'm pretty sure the first two are actually perfectly normal for Garou and then everything after probably gets your players invested in murder. Unless they're hunters, the only good Garou us a dead garou
>>96930560It's not like I'm going to give them the very same greentext when introducing the character.
>>96930522If the NPC has any value the majority of WoD players will keep him around at arm’s length
>>96930171At least post an attractive woman
>>96930353>>96930390>>96930224>>96930112>>96930302Clan Tremere would take the opportunity to skin all the werewolves & take their place, then keep controling the hunters from the shadows as they planed. All those retarded Lupines would be difficult to control or subvert & Pentex was too much a threat to the Pyramid to continue existing. Tremere keep winning.
>>96930895Tremmy delusions yet again. The potential man of WoD
>>96930934You sound pretty thin-skinned. Not my fault Tremere are smarter than all the other retarded splats.
>>96930961Then how were they outwitted in V5 and get the Vienna Chantry bombed to bits?
>>96930971Plot device aka Mithras using dominate 10 cause he seethed at losing london and being eaten.
>>96930971>V5Anon, using V5 as an example for literally anything only hurts your own argument. Everyone knows V5 has garbage writing that conflicts with all previous lore.Use one of the many, Many revised or earlier edition examples instead.
>>96930971I dont care about fanfiction. Why even make that argument? Do you have brain damage? Are you mentally retarded or something?
>>96931013Sorry that the Tremere got their comeuppance after multiple decades of author favouritism.
>>96930060Kinfolk are busy helping Pentex or going to DNA to no longer be kinfolk

>>96931225>Tzimisce copeThere's a lot of weird and unusual things in this dark world of ours, but this. This is the strangest yet
>>96931225
I'm a lorelet, why are the clans based on the third gen antediluvians and not the second gen?
>>96931331Because the third generation feedtroughed the second generations, each inheriting a sliver of their power, and then going on to become the founders of the modern clans.
>>96931331Antes diablerized the Second Gen which is one of many things Caine is eternally coping and seething about
>>96931331After the third sucked the second generation dry and are mostly forgotten by history.
>>96931331There was a revolt by third gen, usually believed to be started by Nos ante, where all second gen ended up dead/diablerized
>>96931331Cause there's only three 'notable' ones compared to the thirteen Antes
>>96931352>Antes diablerized the Second GenWait, wouldn't that have made some of the Antes second gens, instead?
>>96931331the 3rd generation rose up against the second generation while caine was away from the first city he then came back later and found all of his companions and minions dead and cursed the 3rd generation in different ways and those curses are in large part what informs the difference between clans
>>96931400There was already no difference between second and third during that time, gens getting weaker started with third, after Caine cursed them after the revolt
>>96931400the curse of generations is something caine only did after the revolt thinking in his endless cavemen studity that it would lessen conflict between childer and sires so there is no actual difference between a 2nd and 3rd gen
When world building for a location, what indicators do you like to use to determine what Vampire faction is the most powerful/present at all. I mean, I assume it really just comes down to what story you want to tell with the place, but help sate my autism a little.
>>96931458Usually things like crime statistics, lawlessness, visibility and nightlife.
>>96931458How functional it is, tends to be a big one.>Working and thriving as a kine city in greater kine society: Entrenched Camarilla. They might have a smattering of anarch malcontents but nothing they can't strangle should the need arise. This would be the kind of city where the Camarilla court is becoming more and more petty because of their belief in security. Might be somewhat permissible but ultimately the court, when threatened, should rally together because they can ultimately stand and work with each other. May have deigned to let small baronies spring up in its shadows>'Dying' city that's bleeding its population or a county between two metro areas that's growing in sizeDepending on if it's dying or growing it's either a barony or camarilla. They'd be trying to stablize things to then stabilize the city to make their life easier. Probably won't always succeed since there's enough gaps another faction could come in and set up shop.>smaller than eitherIt really depends on the story. I imagine it's a mix of whatever eventually stabilizes the area, especially if it's a key point in the blood trade. Sabbat might start here before moving into a contested area if they're not on the outskirts of an entrenched city already.
>>96931458Ethnic/cultural demographics, how it was founded, & crime.
>>96931436That’s impossible I was told such stupidity wasn’t baked into this splat. In this very thread, I was told this
>>96931436NTA but is there a source for this? I thought the 2nd gen was still more powerful which is why the Antes convinced Irad to turn on his 2nd gen kin
>>96931663Sorry anon, Caine inherited the stupidity from you know who. They both refuse to relent and so both seeth eternal.
>>96931458I just go with who colonized a region and go from there unless the local history gives me a better idea. In general, anything with Iberian roots is Sabbat, anything colonized by Germany, France, or Britain is Camarilla. I understand that this doesn't match canon in many major ways. I just don't care.
>>96931352>>96931421>>96931400>>96931413Why is Caine such a passive aggressive pussy? He wasn't even man enough to directly take care of the problem. Instead he wags his fingers and hurts a bunch of distant descendants who would've likely agreed with him so he ends up cursing others. Bitch made.
>>96931126Wait till you find out who they're working with
>>96931696Learned it from on high.
>>96931696>Why is Caine such a passive aggressive pussy?Because if he did anything of not the game doesn't happen.
>>96931696He acted up once and then G*d put him in his place
>>96931696Literally too prideful to simply say sorry. God brought Abel back and this fuck killed him AGAIN

>>96931670it's in the The Erciyes Fragments>>96931663caine is literaly one of the most pathetic and retarded beings in wod like he created the concepts of murder and deceit they did not exist in the universe before he willed it and still he can literally go to heaven at any point if he just says that he is sorry. he been already told that he is already forgiven god just wants him to admit that he did something wrong and.he.refuses.
>>96931697Like, in that episode or in the next one?
>>96931663Stupidity is baked into every splat Werewolves just have it the worst. Why? They're angry or something
>>96931757>all he has to say is sorry>instead he gets trolled for eternityI like the theory that God would have fucked off and made a new reality if it wasn't for Caine being such a dick
>>96931757>say sorry>when he was in a no win situationThere's a lot of stupidity regarding Caine and his decision but the sacrifice was stupid all around. I can, at least, sympathize being in such a position.
>>96931768If we're talking about the plane one then it should be the latest one
Let's talk about Promethean. What's you're favorite Lineage and why?

>>96931826I haven't played or read Promethean but I know it's about playing a fabricated human. QRD on the lore and the lineages?
>>96931839He knows it can't be a false apology. Dude is too prideful at this point, I'm sure seeing 6000+ years of raw humanity at some point leaves you kind of jaded
>>96930522or you could run your campaign without the personal seethe strawman that'll only make the experience worse for everyone, that's also an option
>>96931696given how scared the antes are of him i doubt he was very passive in his aggressiveness towards themlike in one gehenna scenario malkav breaks down crying when he feels just a bit of caine's blood being nearby and Absimiliard and the Nictuku are 100% motivated by fear of caine coming back and finding out that Absimiliard has a large clan
>>96931824Very good. Back to the treadmill I go for... 2 and a 1/2 hours...
>>96931826Galatean and Unfleshed because they're both so physically inhuman. Zeka and Extempore could also be but it's more deliberate with Galatean and Unfleshed. Their physical inhumanity helps allow for unnerving fun like falling and breaking your neck only to stand up and right your head with a sickening crunch.
>>96931856>QRD on the lore and the lineages?You play as artificial humans on a quest to develop a fully-fleshed soul and become truly human, usually created by a human driven insane by exposure to Azoth (the energy of Creation itself) but there are exceptions. The problem is that you start out as a blank slate with maybe a few tiny scraps of knowledge and you need to learn about humanity on the go. Which wouldn't be so difficult if your existence weren't so unnatural that living beings gradually develop an irrational obsessive hatred for you the longer you stick around (Disquiet) and can and will result in a mob tearing you to pieces if you don't vacate the premises soon enough. This extends to the land itself, your presence causes an imbalance in the elements of the world around you (Wasteland) that causes plants to wither and die to start with and inflicts weirder shit upon the environment the longer you stay there. you also tend to go loopy from repeated failures in your pilgrimage (Torment). To say nothing of the enemies you make along the way, including Disquieted humans, Pandorans (failed Prometheans that hunger for your creative energy), crazy alchemists that want to harvest you for parts, and sometimes other Prometheans. Also, angels. Better strap in kid, it's going to be a long and unpleasant ride. But, for those who can make the journey to the end, the reward is worth it.
>>96931839>JuSt LIe tO gODIt's not like that was exactly what got caine in trouble in the first place... OH WAIT!
>>96931663It's fairly simple anon. Why, simpler than any family tree I've ever known.CaineEnoch, Zillah, Irad (All dead) Ennoia (If rumour is to be believed, possibly diablerie who knows)Haqim, Set, Ennoia, Cappadocius (Dead), Lasombra (Abyss), Malkav (It's complicated), Absimilliard, Zapathasura (Dead), Arikel, Saulot, Brujah, Ventrue.Giovanni eats Cappadocius, Saulot gets himself eaten by Tremere, he also makes the Eldest. Troile eats Brujah but time fuckery creates two antediluvians instead, Zapathasura fucking DIES (maybe). Ventrue dies as well. TremereGiovanniTzimisceLeaving our surviving family tree as a series of technicalities.Caine~~~Haqim, Set, Ennoia, Giovanni, Absimilliard, Arikel, Saulot/Tremere, Tzimisce, Brujah, Troile, Malkav and Lasombra.Everyone elseAnd of course let's not forget the extra three second gen vampires that may or may not have existed and had NO childer. No siree.
>>96932003Well he was being glib in that case and god, as is known, is thin-skinned.
>>96931802Something like the WoD would already be another of the qlippothic realms, but God just refuses to leave until Caine's soul in particular is cleaned up enough for recycling?
>>96932011you forgot the 7, 13 or 31 other antedeluvians that may or may not have existed and had NO childer. No siree.also it's a bit funny that Ennoia has been claimed to be everything between 2 and 4th gen (chaos factor claims that gangrel are actually a bloodline of clan baali) it's like everyone wanted gangrel to have more lore but nobody could think of anything
>>96932039pretty much. dtf heavily hints that god wants to make a world unaffected by oblivion/ the void and wod is not only affected by that god was also already preparing a second world before caine invented murder
>>96931826I like Tammuz, they're the most autistic in a whole race of autists.
>>96932039He is REALLY mad at Caine>>96932047Yeah, it's a fun theory>Why are Werewolves allowed to be so retarded>Why are Fae dicks>Why are Ghosts enslaving other ghostsCause God is mad at Caine lol
>>96931996>Torment mentionedA Planescape-styled game being perfect for either WoD or CofD aside, Promethean seems easier to run as a video game than a full ttrpg
>>96932070Pretty sure even the Lucifer part of God was mad that humans became less cute than before.
>>96932070doesn't he also just end vampirism in one gehenna scenario because he 100% expected caine to step in and clean up during the week of nightmares and is mad that he didn't?so god was mad at caine for all of human history and his grandson still managed to disappoint him
>>96932142>Ok you did kill your brother, but I'll give you ETERNITY to say sorry about it. You can spend your time learning superpowers, cursing others, sure, I don't care. I'll give you a mark so you can't get hurt too badly either. Go ahead. I just want a sorry, I have some stuff to do in the meantime, but we'll be fine. It'll only take a few thousand years.>I need a break. I'm going on holiday. I'm sure the remaining third of Angels can manage things, Earth's basically complete. A bit of a mess, but I'll figure out something later. Maybe 8000 years, that'll do me. >What the FUCK
>>96931996 (cont.)Lineages:>Frankenstein: Assembled from pieces of corpses stitched together and zapped to life. They tend to be strong and adaptable but also resentful and cynical.>Galateid: Made from beautiful people killed in ways that don't mar their bodies too much, typically poison or smothering. They tend to be charismatic and socially adept but also impulsive and airheaded.>Tammuz: Created from corpses ritually buried. Tough motherfuckers and quite helpful, but also stupidly stubborn.>Osiris: Made from corpses drowned and sunken in water. They tend to be cerebral and stoic, but also callous and prideful. >Ulgan: They're made from corpses posessed and torn apart by summoned spirits. Clever and tenacious but pretty detached from human mindsets.>Zeka: Made with corpses exposed to high levels of nuclear radiation. Powerful and driven but perpetually fucking angry.>Unfleshed: The only stable Lineage not made from corpses, but from inanimate objects such as statues or androids. They tend to be methodical and intelligent but also detached and inhuman.>Extempore: Sometimes the fire of Creation just has a glitch or something, and the result is one of these one-offs. Each one is unique and has their own associated element and humor, with custom Disquiet, Torment and Wasteland as well. On the upside, they may boast powers other Prometheans don't. On the downside, since they're all unique and unprecedent they can't access Azothic Memory (kind of a genetic memory for Prometheans) so they're totally clueless about how to conduct their pilgrimage.
>>96931900I like you.
>>96931826maybe i am a basic bitch but i would play a Frankensteinthe og is one of my favorite creatures in horror literature
>>96932190>God comes back from vacation and sees that the angels made a bunch of half furries that constantly get mad and kill each other>One of them tried creating a kingdom of the dead and it has tons of slavery>There's a bunch of normies with superpowers running around in the Umbra literally rewriting the code>rest of the angels started a LARP campaignValid crashouts
>>96932192Frankenstein feels like a classic but Osiris sounds cool
>>96930393Technically she just wins, the chains her rebelling vampire subordinates tried to lock her away with don't actually work, Black Betty becomes her loyal subordinate/lover, and she becomes the Queen of the town's spooky population, regulating their worst impulses so humanity has a healthy but fun sense of fear and wonder.
Are the fae as evil as people here tend to claim?
>>96932273don't forget>neverborn have mortal followers>the elohim prison realm is open>the dead are fleeing to the corpses in the real world>caine watered down his curse so much that some of them have kids
>>96932322No because that's using our moral system. It'd be more prudent to ask if they're always adversarial which is, well, it depends on them.

>>96931826Tammuz, being a big angry earth Golem man is just neat
>>96932294Nifty, what's the source? I grabbed the image to make reaction images.
>>96932338>>96932357
>>96932322Depends on the fae.
>>96932381She seems nice
>>96932370https://zebragirl.thecomicseries.com/Starts off as an early oughts "lolrandumb" comic, but really grows into an exploration of mythology. It's also a completed comic.

>>96932322[Banality 10] How can something that isn't real be evil?
>>96931826Atomic ones are such a good concept but I think they failed the execution because nuclear=bad. Frankenstein is of course the classic. I wish they had a Pinocchio variant in there somewhere too
>>96932586Would that not just be a wooden Unfleshed in 2e?>>96932445Sweet thanks.
>>96932047Caine created Oblivion when he murdered Abel. Oblivion grows until Caine asks for forgiveness for his sin. The World of Darkness is pseudo-gnostic & mostly runs the way it does as a punishment to Caine
>>96932650>everything going wrong because God basically designed the apparatus to dab on Caine and neglected everything elseIt's rather funny how all the weird shit in WoD has this as a backdrop if you squint hard enough
>>96932650>Caine made NanaCaine caused wraiths because of Abel. Grandmother had been there minding her own business asleep.
>>96932686Is Grandmother an angel then or what is she?
>>96932322The fae are if anything MORE evil, especially when trying to do good & cruel when they say they love you
>>96932041>but nobody could think of anythingMake Hyperborea real, the Gangrel's own kine civilization in the far north and what we now consider wilderness, but it got destroyed by Garou,
>>96931757Yeah and god is so invested in getting Caine specifically to say sorry that he has no compunctions about letting untold generations of humans be victimized by his blood. Uncountable vampires, ghouls, and humans suffer damnation and die because Caine's curse is being allowed to propagate outwards, and all because one guy hasn't given one god the ego trip he wants.
>>96932694grandmaw is the center of hivemind of the neverborn meaning she is the void that was there before god said let there be light and she was hurt by it
>>96932670Sort of. Once Caine asks for forgiveness, all of the world of darkness will be returned to the light.>>96932686Caine caused both. Oblivion is bloody hole he made in God's creation when he murdered Abel. Its also why wraiths are a thing yes. Oblivion is the darkness of which the "world of" is named
>>96932714>fae bitch says she loves you and she'll protect you>kidnaps you to the dreaming>makes all your friends forget about you except one schizo to punish him>genuinely protects you thoughIt's the little things anon
>>96932694Apocrypha points to the primeval darkness god found itself in. Now I don't know about you, but I woulda at least give some warning before blinding someone
>>96932739yeah god has a favorite and it sure as hell isn't Abel! because He and his mom are stuck in the shadowlands till caine decides to leave creation
>>96932322Depends if you mean Dreaming or Lost.
>>96932605Eh, unfleshed are more like the Brave Little Toaster, Toy Story, & Johnny 5. Im just bad that they picked a handful of myths like Frankenstien, Golems, Galatea, etc, but left Pinnochio, when its probably the second most well known.
>>96932742>>96932743Interesting stuff. Though I'm curious if this somehow relates to all the other crazy shit going on between Mages and Cthulhu or whatever. I remember reading Cthulhu was the Wyrm's tulpa
>>96932763Understandable. Pinocchio would be a good lineage, could've been formed around Frank's era.
>>96932753Can't blame an ascendant borderline delusional mage-God-thing-machine for assuming consciousness doesn't exist until he says it does
>>96932755The one lesson he should've taken home is that when your supposed favorite is begging for your attention by giving you all his crops, you shouldn't just ignore him for... whatever fucking reason God did this in oWoD.
>>96932771I mean I kinda can, and do, because it's just being decent. Wild idea to some...things, I know but it helps smooth over misunderstandings.
>>96932771this is kinda ironic then because acording to orpheus the neverborn don't realize that we are conscious and grandmaw actually stops if she learns it
>>96932755Wyld idea here, but consider giving attention to your favorite when they supposedly do a sacrifice in your name that you set up. If he didn't want Able blood, then he shouldn't've responded positively to Abel's sacrifice
>>96932785that is assuming that caine's crashout wasn't just as planned. remember several angels had visions of it before the rebelion so God must have also known
>Actual Orpheus discussionHoly shit the werewolf rhetoric finally broke /WoDg/
>>96932810>I'm going to have him suffer so countless vampires, ghouls, and humans can suffer because...
>>96932818#worksinmysteriousways
>>96932810What is it about supposed seers in leader positions that love to shoot themselves in the foot, in front of their subjects, and then kill them when asked if they're okay?
>>96932794Granny is much nicer than Yahweh is.
>>96932794>Grandmother just doesn't know any betterHow many plot points in WoD end with this as a staple for the victory condition? I'm 90% sure every splat has an ending where it's like>You calmly explain to this creature beyond human comprehension it is being retarded and ruining things for everyone>It actually worksSaw it with the Weaver and the Wyrm making up and fucking off
>>96932785God hates farmers. Ask any farmer & he will tell you. God did not want agriculture he wanted us to be nomadic shepards & hunter gatherers. Caine creating farming & cities is also what led to humanity bringing shit out of balance for the Garou/Fera
>>96932817Maybe if Wraith got any support from Paradox that let people run the games without getting cancer it'd be more popular. People clearly like Wraith
>>96932851Probably a lot except the more malicious and stubborn vampires. Nephandi are probably a no go as well. It's a one way ticket to getting derealized if you try to bring it up to angriest being in the universe
>>96932851I don't think vampire has an ending like that, it's either Caine apologizing, you proving yourself to God via sacrifice so you get turned human, or schmoozing up to Lilith so when she beats Caine's ass she takes you home with her so you don't die.
>>96932810>>96932739All of World of Darkness exists to teach Caine a lesson. None of it really matters, its shadow on a cave wall
>>96932869Well out of those three options; Mom, once more, sounds like the best.
>>96932854And yet he doesn't tell Caine this despite him being the only being he cares about.
>>96932869Arguably the scenario in which lucifer calls out caine for being a bitch and it actually weakens him counts if you manage to get the ending where abel appears before caine and they both walk into the sunset after making upit's just not the players telling the ancient being that it is retarded
>>96932888Well I mean, you're sort of getting them to that realization.>>96932862well I suppose Mage would be an exception, as it usually is
>>96932880iirc her ending is you being nice to her mortal pet so she after winning she takes you to her totally not a Horizon Realm to feed you her blood that makes you a Lilim which is like being a 3rd gen vampire but you're alive and only have a sun weakness and no others. No idea if you could Awaken or whatever but probably.>>96932888That's true yeah, I think Lucifer calling Caine results in him doing a suicide-by-Lilith instead of even trying to fight her.
>>96932854i thought caine found the first city not founded it. Enoch was a king before his embrace
>>96932909You're partially right, but Enoch wasn't king. The people of the first city wanted him to be king, but he refused and said he was going to go out and commune with God to find who should really be king. That's when Caine ambushed and embraced him, after which Enoch marched back into the city to declare Caine king.
>>96932714Winter can't come soon enough.
>>96932909Depends on the apocrypha you go with. It's framed as if he discovered it already existing, yes.
>>96932885He did. He favored Abel's sacrifice
>>96932381God I fucking miss keychain of creation. Sucks that the creator was the origin of the "I lost the password" meme.
shame ctd and kote been canceled before we could tell the fomorians and yama kings to go to therapy
>>96932927He didn't explain what that meant to Caine. Remember, Caine is stupid. Caine asked Adam and he didn't explain it either. He then asked Abel who DID explain it to him, but Caine had a retard moment and decided that meant he should sacrifice his precious brother (or had a tard rage and killed Abel out of hatred, depending who you ask) instead of raising some goats.
>>96932952Don't worry, Adam and Abel are just as stupid. Cause, you know, Abel didn't know god was a leech in denial>>96932945Would ctd just not be us knocking on the gates to Arcadia and them finally opening?
>>96932880I think my favorite part about her scenario is that it more or less calls out that the Bahari are basically just retards and she's not going to bother with them because they're too loud and stupid to help her beat Caine.
>>96932983that was hillarious girl has: a cult, a bloodline, a revenant family and verbanna mages that would all die for her and posiblly ancient magical contracts with house balor and eiluned, but instead using any of these she makes a coterie of 3rd gens play hobos and throw her kids into the sewers
>>96932851so multi splat toj campaign where goal is to get all of these endings when?
>>96933020I mean let's be fair to her here, she has all those, but they are all, each and everyone one of them, fucking retarded. Her Antediluvian gang happens to be more competent than the rest of those all put together. It's a pretty damning condemnation of them all.
>>96933038Would be interesting to see Garou chasing after Control to account for the technocracy involvement.
>>96933047> It's a pretty damning condemnation of them alleven of herself because she isn't leading the coterie lucian is and she hates that fact and him. so the only competent forces she has are the ones that are working with her not for her and it's not like they are all that competent because some of them still go on unplanned killing sprees
>>96932909So biblical cain founded the first city & named it after his first son EnochWoD Caine found Enoch the person who was leader of a place named Enoch.But even if he found a city (at least what could pass for a "city" back then) he did a lot to civilized the place, doing great building works & such. Its more likely that it was a little settlement of some sort & he made it the First City. And again, a city is not nomadic, which is what god favors
>>96933064having garou in the scenario in which vormas wants to perma kill the wyrm to break entropy could also be interesting
>>96933079Lilith has the same issue Caine does where her response to trauma is to slink off somewhere and sulk for thousands of years, rather than actively doing something. So all her potential followers just end up useless even if they're obsessed with her, or useful but scheming behind her back. The only thing that makes her better than Caine is that she's not really a backstabber/traitor the way he is, and that she's not letting a curse propagate around that fucks over any mortal who stumbles by it. And the fact she'll let you come with her to become a Lilin when she's done, I don't think there's any scenario where Caine can be assed to help or reward your players.
>>96933107>I don't think there's any scenario where Caine can be assed to help or reward your players.i have the book open right now and no there isn't. The players are even called out as having doomed themselves if they support anyone but lilith because caine doesn't care enough about them to make sure they don't die instantly from old age after his curse is liftedand you don't interact with caine directly in any other scenario
>>96932854He's the first blacksmith, too. So he invented agriculture, mining, just all the motivations for slavery and forcing a human settlement past the Dunbar number.
>>96933126Yeah there's really nothing to defend Caine, or the decision to side with him over Lilith. So whether she sounds like the best ending for your group out of any potential ending in Gehenna (like anon says she is) really depends on if you're really attached to ending up as plain humans and not a Lilin.
>>96933079>>96933107That's also coupled with the fact that WW tried really fucking hard to have Lilith not be an actual active player despite it being her own fucking scenario.>bleh bleh bleh Lilith could be a number of things, we'll leave it up to you and your group.How about utilizing the fact that she's probably the only other 'First' ascendant in the setting, to rip Caine's metaphysical curse off him when he shows up. As far as I could tell, the issue was getting Caine to show up in the first place.
>>96933064Control wouldn't even bother listening to them (assuming they're there to do anything other than tardrage smash kill). They're really hardcore about this elimination of reality deviants thing.
>>96933162Fair is Foul's biggest issue is that unwillingness to actually define anything new it introduces for its scenario, really. Lilith not acting is an extension of that, they don't want to tell us what she is exactly or how that works, so they can't actually tie her into the scenario more intimately until the end. To do so would require defining what a "proto-vampire Verbena archmage" or an "Elohim" is capable of, which they don't want to do.
>>96933170They make allowances, they have priorities. If they're ok with letting vampires self police, they're probably fine with werewolves stick around as long as they're not pushing for total human death.
>>96933160lilith's scenario is one of the two scenarios in that book that makes reference to your characters possibly being the player characters from the transilvania chronicles and it's mentioned that like a ghoul who is out of vitae for too long you age up to your actual age after the curse ends so very likely (it's not mandatory to import your previous characters but some stuff like saulot hiding his identity are based on it) you don't even end up as plain humans but instead as a 800 year old corpse... thanks caine!
>>96933170Unlike actual threats, puppies are more natural. Upper and middle management likes to think otherwise but they're not on the ground. Control's nice.
>>96933038>Anyone trusting a M*ge>Garou not immediately resorting to violence when they see the stink of the Wyrm>Asking a Wraith to do anything but mope>Changeling trolling each of them to edge the Garou closer to crashing out>Tremere seething at being next to a true mageYoko Taro-ass campaign party. It would be kino actually
>>96933226I really meant across all the Gehenna scenarios, like, in most of them your ending options are to end up as plain humans, die and turn to dust, die and go to heaven, or maybe end up as new Antediluvians in that alt ending to Crucible of God. So out of all of them, being a Lilin is almost certainly the best ending you can get. Though yeah, if you don't side with Lilith in Fair is Foul iirc if you're older than I think 50 years, when Caine fucks off you rapidly age to your actual age. You die, at best as a corpse and at worst as dust. I think this also happens to you if you side with Lilith but were a dickhead to her mortal pet, because she's not going to help you if you're malicious.
>>96933239Weaver-drone propaganda
>>96933239Isn't Control responsible for the time table? I'm pretty sure they make all the important decisions
>>96933269>I think this also happens to you if you side with Lilith but were a dickhead to her mortal pet, because she's not going to help you if you're maliciousher pet or the monsters she threw into the sewers... which i find very weird because the scenario has this scene where someone asks you to investigate these completely new sewer monsters you have never seen before (because lilith just made them for this) you are not Necessarily at all in contact with lilith yet but the right thing to do is to look at them say "huh those are weird" and then leave without doing anything about them
>>96933297Control comes from Order of Reason=Inner Council, so yes? Who knows what the eggheads in R&D cook up
>>96927122I'm running a game on an improvised system with heavy WoD setting/fluff considerations, with the players getting "Isekai'd" into a place in the Umbra cultivated specifically to send Sleepers, give them the experience of magic and how it can work, potentially Awaken them in the process, then at the end of the "story" as its presented, give them a recruitment bid into the Traditions to help improve their numbers. The base notion is "Magic has been waning in this fantastical world lately for some reason, you outsiders have been brought here to restore it to prominence," but I'm having a bit of trouble trying to figure out what sort of places to build up around the other spheres besides Prime (Main Antagonist has been establishing a pseudo technocratic paradigm using Prime to diminish Magic as a whole where he can reach, otherwise reforming the world into mundanity.)I've already got the notion of a former major Trade Hub as a place for where the lack of Correspondence magic has diminished the quality of life and circumstances. The ones I could do with help for are Entropy, Time, Forces, and Life.
>>96933102Weaver Ascendant/Judgement is actually my favorite idea for a crossover ToJ. You actually even gave me a couple ideas on how it would play out (granted, I haven't read the Mage ToJ book, so I need to fix that before I expand on the details)
>>96933302Eh, Lilith doesn't rage at you for killing the sewer monsters, though you can fuck it up in such a way that you destroy the city, so that's fun.
Since we're talking Fair is Foul, Ventrue get absolutely FUCKED in that one. They can only feed on other vampires.
>>96932192Funny how none of them represent how Frankenstein reanimated his monster in the book.Proof that nobody read it and instead stick to what the movies showed.
>>96933392meanwhile tremere and tzimisce get new extra powers
>>96933318Maybe something about chance and probability for Entropy. Kind of a investigative type of story where they have to solver murders and they get more non-sensical and Final Destination-esque to emphasis Entropy.>>96933406Okay wiseguy, do you know how? Put that wraith down, we all know Victor's dead and gone. He's not going to tell you anyway.
>>96933153Exactly. And THAT is what God & Caine are at odds on. Caine wants to master the world, to subjugate it. He doesnt want to drift on the wind, he wants to put down roots. Its why God's curses are the ones they are. It means Caine cannot rest, turned into a constant drifter, until he learns that God does not want man to do that.
>>96933406you didn't needed that as proof. the most obvious proof that nobody reads the book is that viktor is not a doctor in the book! it's not doctor frankenstein! his entire motivation is that he is a med student who got sad that science is not chasing the dreams of alchemists of old but then he heard a cool lecture from a actual doctor/prof and felt motivated to do it himself
>>96933439>>96933153So God should really be allied with the Garou, but iirc they hate him and call him The Patriarch.
>>96933411I'd really just say the Tremere, since while the Tzimisce do get some improvements, it's mostly losing control over their shapeshifting.
>>96933451>they hate himMore like they're not sure what this Patriarch is outside of a big spirit. And, you know, like most spirits you don't have to listen. Unsurprisingly someone's mad about that like they got mad about someone not doing what they wanted cause they didn't say otherwise.
>>96933459i don't have the book on me right now but don't they get the bone shintai? i remember it feeling very out of left field because the eldest has no lore ties to kote (beside his rivaly with saulot)
>>96933470They do, but I've never read Kindred of the East so I don't know what that does.
>>96932859At least Wraith got a 20th. What did Mummy get?
>>96933493Wraith unironically needs either a WtO5 or like module books. Mummy is pretty cursed too though
>>96930727Actually, Project Reaper's so effective when it's unleashed in Weaver Ascendant that it burns itself out, killing its Garou and Kinfolk carriers faster than they can spread it. The outcome is that concentrated populations of Garou and Kinfolk are wiped out, while more isolated and less concentrated communities are untouched by the virus.
>>96933493Let's be real here, even Hunter and Demon would have been on the docket for a 20th release before Mummy.And Paradox said no when Onyx Path proposed making those.

>>96933261don't forget at least two gehenna scenarios include beating the shit out of tremere himself so that must be fun if you have a tremere who would prefer being a mage and a mage in the party
>>96933513Did they get weaver spirit assistance making it or was it a 100% human invention?
>>96933512Can't wait for the WtO5 and all the ghosts have desk jobs in the Hierarchy.
>>96933261Any Tremere worth the name is gonna take the opportunity to drink Caine
>>96933261>>96933545>gen 6 or seven og tremere mage playing the long game to beat Tremere's assLove to see it
>>96933269Being a lilin is not better than heaven
>>96933554i mean that could work as a horror game because striga is horrifing enough to potentially carry a game about trying to live a normal life in a horrible horrrrible place and doing terrible things like they are normal But i don't think the wod5 team could pull it off
>>96933552Unknown benefactor who throws limitless funding and intel at them, for the ST to decide who it is.
>>96933569You don't know what heaven is like in WoD, it could just be some cenobite realm where God puts you in the eternal CBT machine so he can jerk off.
>>96933560just don't diablerize him! salubri in a toj game tried that "as revenge for my kind!"only for our st to ask him if he really thought eating the guy who mentally battled saulot for a millenia was a good idea
>>96933569How is heaven better than heaven?
>>96933451God let's everyone make their own choices, & the Garou have fucked up plenty.
I miss being mentally ill.
>>96933580This and Progenitors share some of their tech with them. It could be the technocracy or the government (SAD connection)
>>96933545>>96933560>>96933556Great ideas. I'm rather afraid of running a cross splat game for my players since I fear it'll need an insane amount of manual balancing and retooling, but these are some cool thoughts
>>96933599What was your salubri thinking? Eating his soul is an end to the pain. You learn necromancy to extend it and to hand it off to specters down below. Come on. I can forgive them though, they must've been new at revenge.
>>96933629Lower your banality
>>96933597>>96933611Heaven is OUTSIDE the World of Darkness. Anything OUTSIDE is better than anything INSIDE
>>96933429Thanks. I'll see about putting together a place that's been on decline in general, but the serial-killer leaning via particularly unlucky misfortune should be a fun twist to work with.
>>96933645we had to sit and play nice with tremere and etrius for 2 nights because the scenario calls for it and the salubri (not sure if player, character or both to behonest) been seething the whole time but barely contained it only for tremere to try and backstab us after his plan went tits up
>>96933666Heaven is locked behind Arcadia. It's the singular moment of creation, there is nothing before, and we all know what comes after.
>>96933666Lucifer, if that is your real name instead of the mask you're wearing, I have it on good authority that Mom's fourth garden is also outside of it.One of the benefits of experience, I'm sure you might eventually realize.>>96933674Ah now that is understandable. Nothing makes me sympathize with the og Goratrix more than having to listen to Tremere.
What's the most recent media you have used as inspiration?
>>96933682>>96933696Heaven is oneness with God. Lillith is the whore of Babylon.
>>96933792There's a new Frankenstein thing on Netflix. Idk if its good. I dont have much hope but who knows?
>>96933792Not gonna bother to try and recall everything I took from recent media, but one that sticks out to me is I adapted the hand that lets you get possessed from 'Talk to Me' (decent horror movie) as the focus object of a Spectre Cult.And for a Demon game, I adapted the type of demon from Smile and It Follows which propagates itself through some method to further hosts and doesn't quite manage to completely possess people.
>>96933859Good luck finding a table for Promethean.
>>96933850>ego death and subsumationIunno anon that doesn't sound very good. That's excluding the tones of vore. Would he listen if we made him aware we're intelligent.
>>96933870Sounds like some games.
>>96933882Heaven is were we belonged until Adam Eve & Caine made mistakes. Its not ego death. Its ultimate enlightenment
>>96933886Love adapting me some horror movies.Especially since my players aren't into those (at least not as much as I am), so they have no idea what they're up against.
>>96933914You mean it's being a witless animal.
>>96933020I need more information about this revenant family you speak of. Please.
>>96933995
>>96934041Follow the reply chain>>96933914Oh do we now. If we belong there why were cast out for our fathers' sins?
>>96934062IS THAT A...
>>96934123An angel disguised as the snake?Indeed, well spotted, anon!
>>96934123first time, hunter?
>>96933882>>96933914>>96933995It all kinda depends on interpetation. Does "Becoming one with god" mean being subsumed into the whole like a drop in the ocean or just being connected like a PC to the internet? I'd hardly say we lost our identity and individuality by being given access to a google search equivalent.There's also the situation with the fruit of knowledge, did adam and eve even need to eat the fruit in the first place for that knowledge? God was plenty willing to answer any of their questions before And after. It also clearly didn't give them free will or the ability to think for themselves, since they'd need both those qualities to defy god's order in the first place.
>>96933597Okay, but Lilith absolutely for sure would make you do naughty potty squats in her garden.
>>96935044What kind of weird fetish are you venting here, anon?
>>96935044You wanna share with the class, anon?
Are (you) a melee or a firearms kindred?
Has anyone here played a Gangrel that didn't just take wolf/bat for Protean? What was your character like?
>>96935663Uh huh. No guns. I don't use guns. Guns are for sissies or if I'm in the mood I pretend I'm in a western for the campaign
>>96935663I use guns for performance effect and cheap shots. Melee and sorcery is the usual play. Gotta have your whole body as a weapon.
>>96935663Thaumaturgy
"I am a member of the aristocratic laspmbra clan. We only take the best, also a common technique of ours is embracing people en masse to use as cheap shock troops. Why yew, only one of our clan disciplines is suitable for a shock troop. But see at least it's better than the other most numerous sabbat clan, who have zero clan disciplines that make sense for shock troops and tend toward the literal landed gentry rather than metaphorical aristocracy."Something went stupid.
>>96935944Ah so you like losing fights?
>>96935952>Something went stupid.Welcome to the sabbat.
>>96935952Imagine being shovelhead embraced as a tzimisce in the ass end of nowhere where you were passing through on a road tripYou can't leave bumfuck, Ohio, you're doomed to either try to become the bishop of a strip mall in nowheresville or bring the pollutted dirt from a former industrial area or a strip mall with you to sleep on.
>>96935973Theft of Vitae twice in one turn empties all but elders.
>>96933875Not him but it inspired me to make a Life (probably Mind and Spirit too) sphere Etherite.But I'm not gonna limit him to stitching corpses to make prometheans, he's going to make dinosaurs with lasers, cyborg dragons, living robots, homunculi-growing trees... it's gonna be fun!>Actually getting to Life, Mind and Spirit 5 is NOT gonna be fun
>>96933792Frankelda inspired me to start a Changeling: the Dreaming table.
>>96936125Theft of vitae explicitly only works on mortals as per v5.I don't think it damages vampires beyond stealing their blood in other editions but I can't remember.
>>96936109You could chill on the moon with no consequences. Ohio owns space
>>96936335>v5Anon...
>>96936109You're immortal and the territory is undeveloped because it's unclaimed. Force a city there if you're a voivode.
>>96935828Never got to play but I wanted to try an octopus form. Seemed useful
>>96933666Damn all this Christian Biblical literalism really dragged the entire damn thing down.
>>96936335Thinblood motherfucker, never quote v5 to me ever again.Yes, Theft of Vitae only takes blood &,does no overt damage, but it leaves you weak as a mortal & me with all your delicious vitae. You now frenzy. I then use Blood Rage & force you to spend vitae you don't have, & THAT does aggrivated. Or I just let my ghoul handle you since your not much of a threat anymore. No boosted attributes, no healing, no disciplines that cost blood.
>>96936541Mariners rise up
>>96936222Yeah I see where you are coming from.
>>96936202Odds are you can make that a group effort or get some backing.
>>96936541+1 Intelligence
>>96933406>Funny how none of them represent how Frankenstein reanimated his monster in the book.Nice try you stupid pseud, in the original he makes an active point of not telling the captain exactly how he did it because, oh I don't know, he didn't want to make the same mistake he did.
>>96936441Anon I know youre trying for something here, but v20s version of theft of vitae also doesn't do anything except drain blood from a vampire.You have done 0 damage to your opponent.
>>96936665Was that a V20 change? It worked on anything with blood in revised.
>>96936700>>96936700>>96936700
>>96936544Oh you've managed to not incapacitate someone with multiple uses of a 4th level discipline?
