Man I can't pick. There's so many good ones.

Btw, my friend made another one of these memes for a lesser known HtV compact. The Keepers of the Source, from Witch Finders. A bunch of west coast new age woo woo types learned the supernatural were real and unlike most in their cadre, did something about it.

Society of Leopold (who else?) followed by the SAD and DNA and that one dude who made an insane asylum for changelings if he counts as a hunter.

I hope so, frankly.

I think maybe we run it thursday through monday at the end of this week
Just my two cents, but yeah I'm interested in hunter posting. I'm surprised no anon ever made a poll of what would be more interesting
>>97089644
I'm somewhat of an Arcanum fan, love being unhelpful
>>97089796
Very based meme, thank you for sharing

>>97089882
I'm up for it

>>97089882
I'm still down for the test.
>>97089796
A lovely addition to the collection.

Help me develop a faction of Hunters (Hunted or Reckoning) that specializes in hunting Mages (it's okay if they mostly hunt Arete 3 and below, I don't expect them to go hunt Masters).

>>97089934
I have no control over gwnet. I'm not even sure if the last gwnet thread was made by the same person that did 1-3.

As for when it starts, I was either gonna do it tonight (bored) or tomorrow. The idea is for a limited winter run through the month of December, maybe going into January if there's enough posters but otherwise ending it with the New Year. I think frights during the cold, snowy holiday season are fairly comfy. At the same time, if the first thread is basically on life support one week in, I'm not gonna zombie general or artificially keep it alive. It's very much intended as a test to see how interested people actually would be in a Hunter RP thread.

>>97089956
This organization casting a wide net or specific types of mages? Also would they be opposed to using sorcery?

This could be neato, I'm just not sure we should do a long running RP like /schreck/ as I feel it'd probably lose steam before a planned ending but if you're making the thread it's your call for being based. I do like the plan, I just think /gwnet/ is just around to do shitty garouposts rather than cool RP now
The Ginfolk arc was pretty great to follow though, props to that anon
I just assumed we'd get more posters on a weekly thread that something long terms. Thank you for being based though so I didn't have to be. As for proposing rules, I don't want to be a faggot but I think we have to include
>Keep supernatural posts vague, unnamed, or within the character RP of a Hunter
gw had a bit too much cross splat posting, though the spirits and wagies were fine

>>97089956
>Monks of the Sundered Cabal
(or whatever edgy name you want) this is from Anti-Mage in dota
Basically a Monastic Order from Tibet that got raided by a bunch of uppity mages a long time ago and became ASSMAD over getting their priceless Buddhist/Whatever artifacts stolen, and now dedicate themselves to teaching others in the way of the ascetic and the way of wizard-killing.
>Big focus on Martial arts bullshit and maybe Gun-fu if you like it
>High willpower inner peace type of characters, maybe a willpower requirement to joining
>Specialized in detecting reality manipulation but too deep in their propaganda to awaken properly
What do you think?

>>97090028
Well it's an experiment. My intended timeframe is more of a cut-off than anything else. Will adjust based on how much posting it actually receives.

Here's what I have for rules so far.

Rules:
>We are acephale. There is no storyteller, we are not a quest.
>This thread is based primarily but not exclusively in the nWoD/CofD game Hunter: the Vigil. However, Vigil is defined by being highly setting agnostic, with a system for creating entirely custom monsters that do not exist in other WoD/CofD games. Thus, you have significant freedom in what you want to play, if you want to play a member of the Society of Leopold, or hunt a Masquerade vamp while playing a member of the Lucifuge, be our guest!
>Namefagging is encouraged but by no means mandatory.
>Keep in mind that even highly experienced Hunters typically only have fractured pieces of the puzzle, and every table has their own canon. The night is dark and full of misinformation.
>/vigil/ is conceived of as an experimental end to end encrypted program that is very hard to compromise, retains very little data and purges that data regularly. Please play an actual Hunter.
>Spoiler any OOC discussion.

>>97089956
The Sorcerers' Union

>>97090058
Very cool, though I think naming it /vigil/ is a bit bland. I like the way you worded it though for playing a Hunter. Very based, and thank you anon

>>97090058
I'd maybe throw in a semi-serious line that bring divinely blessed is another form of supernatural taint. To reinforce the vigil foundation and to try and curb Imbued posting.

>>97090074
I'm open to suggestions for a different name. Was drawing a blank on a name for the hypothetical program.

>>97090078
I don't wanna purity spiral too hard, since Vigil contains the likes of the Malleus Malefecarium and the Lucifuge.

>>97090092
/n0/?

>>97090092
>name
This might be a touch long but what about: Union Forum Zero. /uf0/.

>>97089644
I really love the way they wrote mages in Witchfinders. I cant stand Paradox & all the bullshitbshoved into Mage (any edition) but I really liked the way they had the witchfinder ones do stuff that interacted with their magic as a way of cultivating Source pts to spend on magic.

If you want to use Life magic, you need to spend some time working in a garden. Other Lores had similar tasks & meditations, & I really like that. I wish they had a chance to write more Lores. I feel like thats how magic should work more or less. Plus the spells were fun & could be powerful if you were clever. I wish there was a oWoD version without going into Sorcerer which just feels like they took Thaumaturgy, removed the blood & made everything a little more complicated & dull

>>97090078
I think Imbued posting should be semi-allowed but anons should keep it as schizophrenic as possible
>>97090092
I'm similarly drawing a blank on the name, maybe /projOdin/, based on something like the wild hunt being led by Odin. Just spitballing, I think /vigil/ is fine if we're not having good ideas as it's still pretty decent and apt

>>97090108
Nta, but uf0 is actually pretty clever
>>97090106
this one is neato too

>>97090119
How about I combine it down to un0. Both uno, or one, and union/network 0. With an unvarnished code gobbledygook full title like >Un/Net0_E2EE_v1.Test_Server

To reflect the experimental nature of a universal Hunter communication program?

>>97090136
I like it

>>97090116
I always saw imbued as just normal ass ppl aside from the few wackos in the fluff

>>97090136
That's a cool idea, very basado
>>97090154
I agree but the end state of every imbued is inevitable schizophrenia, even if not right now a couple of years down the line every imbued will be crazy

>>97090136
It also works as "You Know", as in you know about the supernatural.

>>97089971
Wide net, but specifically hate the kind of mage that would bring Paradox by casting vulgar magick (or rather, those are their main target as they are easier to spot).
Let's say they're opposed to using sorcery if it involves things like rituals, sigils and such.

>>97090171
So they're more opposed to the image and trappings of magic than magic itself. At least when vulgar magic isn't involved. Cause that aerosol can+lighter is a very handy slap dash ritual for some fire focused hedge magic.
All that said sounds like they'd be hunting hermetics and dregs of the nephandi

>>97090053
I kinda like it. They do sound like the Shih equivalent for Akashics and other asian mages.
And the whole concept of a Monastic Order becoming Mage hunters works, at least narratively speaking, for other cultures as well. Catholic order in Europe, Muslim assassin guild in the middle east, African religious warmonger...

>>97089644
The cheiron group and it isn't close.
One of the suggested cheiron characters is a cleaner, like a guy with a mop, who gets reassigned due a bureaucratic fuckup to be a cleaner, the type with a gun.
They're a corporation. They have annual quotas, they have staff meetings, they have secretaries, hunters get a 401k.

And it's launched

>>97090196

Happy posting, friends. And thanks for the feedback/suggestions. All were wonderful.

>>97090182
Pretty much any Tradition could set off those radars.
Hermetics, like you said, and their elaborate rituals.
Choristers when they use enochian, kabbalah or vedic practices.
Verbena and their bloodletting, tree worshipping, bonfire dancing and rune carving.
Ecstatics and Euthanatos could fly under the radar, except for those who even consider esoteric yoga a sign to look for. Akashics too.
Dreamspeakers are essentially in the same boat as the Verbena.
VAs and Etherites might be the only ones who get away with it, as long as their technomagic looks more techno than magic. But as soon as the Etherite starts making Frankenstein monsters or the VA starts doing Tron shit, they're targets.
Hollow Ones would be easy targets even if drawing a pentagram with lipstick seems like just innocent teen shit at first.

>>97090020
yes it's mentioned that nosferatu do often kill their caitiff unless they happen to just manifest the clan curse anyway

>>97090207
Maybe we should have figured out what to do about God-Machine stuff?

>>97090207
Neat. Will check out soon

>>97090256
Would the angels care? We would be, or are, effectively keeping the status quo which is its ultimate goal.

>>97090256
The thread is entirely ambivalent on grandiose setting fixtures. "every table has their own canon".

>>97090207
Nifty.

>>97090223
Would syndicate members not get targeted as well by that metric? They are the magic men after all.

>>97089644
Is there anything akin to the hellsing group in any version of hunter?

>>97090493
I'd wager that the Syndicate is the most subtle convention.

>>97090505
Hellsing group in what way? The whole employs supernatural creatures aspect? Not that I know of.

How does one go about ranking hunter groups in therms of how dangerous they are?

>>97090183
Glad you like it, and yeah it's something you can adapt to other Monks. Perhaps in a similar situation they may have heard about a similar style happening out East a long time ago and decided to follow in their example, perhaps with their own spin on their name or fighting style.
Perhaps English monks may engage in boxing, mainland Europeans in fencing or sword fighting, or some sort of sorcerous pursuit. I like the Muslim assassin group too though that's basically Assamites but as hunters

>>97090505
There is the Society of Leopold with their magics. The other option is using Sorcerer or Exalted binding rules. In terms of lore there's basically fuck all.

>>97090505
Employing a supernatural creature as their battering ram is kinda not in line? You could maybe refluff Knights of Saint George or Saint Adrian. Perhaps the Barrett Commission as well if you're focused on vamps.

>>97090563
Vigil? By the tier, how supernatural they get, and their experience/age.
oWoD? They're mostly even, it's just reflavoring. I suppose anything that's got a more serious martial bent edges out.

>>97090563
Leopold & company >> The Imbued >> THE MOTHER OF ALL POWER GAPS >> The Arcanum.

>>97090576
>>97090575
You'd think the Society of St. Leopold would be open to working with Christian(lol) werewolves and Choristers wouldn't you? I feel like that may be an unexplored avenue in the lore, maybe even some other schizo group like the Nails of Christ

>>97090563
Vigil has three tiers. Cells, which refer to small groups of hunters, typically three to a dozen, are tier 1. Technically larger groups have cells of their own, but independent hunters are basically stuck at cell level. Tier 1 hunters can still be a tremendous threat, but their small size limits the scale of what they can realistically accomplish.

Tier 2 hunters are called compacts. Compacts are full-fledged organizations, and many are even multi-national. They don't have any inherent force multipliers, and large organizations have drawbacks, but their size and resources make them typically much larger threats than Tier 1.

Finally Tier 3 hunters are called Conspiracies. They're typically, but not always, larger and have more resources than the Compacts, but the main thing that makes Conspiracies Tier 3 is some sort of x-factor that can close the gap between supernatural powers and the hunter's own abilities. Some are explicitly supernatural, like the faith based magic of the Malleus, or the natural demonic abilities of the Lucifuge. But it can also represent advanced technology (possibly based on half-understood supernatural abilities) such as TF:V's advanced armory or the Cheiron Group's Thaumatechnology.

>>97090601
They're literally the Inquisition. Not the Second Inquisition, but the definitive Inquisition. Suffer not anything that isn't truly human to live, mages and werewolves and vampires all burn together regardless of faith.

>>97090601
Yeah but that would defeat most of the point of the society. Christian Werewolves could be a neat conspiracy within the faction but I don't see where you would go with it.

>>97090493
Theoretically yes, but they're so subtle that most if not all non-Imbued wouldn't notice their magickal stock trading bullshit.
>>97090573
Assamites as hunters is a scary prospect. Almost as scary as the muslim Imbued from Holy War.

>>97090601
I'd imagine they still remember the first inquisition and how the mages wanted to be idolators/whatever excuse used to turn on them. They would not stand up to what woofs fight. Woofs are basically a more hardcore SoL that's bloodier.

>>97090631
That and most of True Faith adjacent powers are kind of useless against a Werewolf.

>>97090623
>Not having Blessed heretics
This is why the Society is basically a jobber group compared to other Inquisitions, not even in a secret shadow organization within it or something or other
>>97090625
>Christian Werewolf branch of Society in like Romania or something trying to micromanage hunting, being Garou, and not exposing themselves
I think it's kino, frankly. Was partially inspired by Hellsing and Hellboy there, though those two are nowhere near as secret as they are. I guess where to go from there depends if Hunter plot, Vampire plot, or Werewolf plot as it could easily be all three
>>97090631
>They still remember
I just don't really see that being the case except for the older members. I just thought it'd be a neat idea

>>97090627
Assamites are more of a traditional clan in concept right? Wouldn't it make sense they have mortal agents they groom as Hunters before embracing them when they prove themselves and want more power? Also
>Muslim imbued
Spooky
>>97090652
Just true faith yourself up some of the chains that contained Fenrir bro, you're Norse-pagan pilled right?

>>97090601
>You'd think the Society of St. Leopold would be open to working with Christian(lol) werewolves and Choristers wouldn't you?
Get his S*nbenito out of here! The SoL made sure to put any notion of allying with monsters in the heretical category. They don't even trust their own sorcerers (Theurgy users)

>>97090659
To give the Society credit, their relic curator is old enough to remember. Being a vampire and all I'm so annoyed he's ventrue. It's so dumb.
Plus they have vatican archives. Although you're right, a smarter chorister could probably be the head of a sub-division or so.

>>97090659
Not everything has to be a messy cross-over soup. Fucking hell, just let a group of hunters be a group of hunters, please.

>>97090652
Doesn't True Faith Lower Rage?

>>97090698
But hunters on their own are so boring, they're only cool if you mix in the other splats
A human hunter is a human hunter is a human hunter, once you've seen one you've seen them all, but kinfolk hunters and ghoul hunters and sorcerer hunters and even full splat hunters like werewolf ronin hunters and vampire caitiff hunters are really cool

>>97090709
What do you think they hunt anon? Hunters are basically attack dogs for the other splats. Sometimes the leash slips your grip and they maul your friend's face. The idiot shouldn't've been taunting your dog.

>>97090625
>Christian Werewolves could be a neat conspiracy within the faction
Yeah, they'd somehow reain undetected within a group that has their own equivalent of the KGB and magical ways of detcting supernaturals.

>>97090686
Well, would you trust a sorcerer? It just seems a bit wasteful but I understand the whole hatred of the unclean shit going on. It's based but also I feel like there's potential for dicking around with other stuff
>>97090691
>Not Lasombra
Wow, that is kind of retarded. Interesting though, I'm assuming the Ventrue is either excused to be long living via faith or some nonsense or is this a case of background character syndrome that no one notices?
>>97090698
The Society of St. Leopold is and can be just hunters, but an anon asked about Hellsing and I bridged it to an idea that maybe St. Leopold could have a branch of Christian-adjacent supernaturals. It's not really canon, and cross-over stuff can be interesting. You could even make them non-Garou werewolves if you're so allergic to crossover shit, literal just Christian mages instead of Choristers. There's plenty of options if you just don't like it

>>97090722
Yeah but I don't want to play boring splatless human hunters

>>97090723
>Hidden in plain sight
They could just try EXTRA hard not to stick out, or learn sorcery to just pretend at being supernatural. Magic KGB can only do so much given that the real KGB could also only do so much
>>97090709
Base Huntards have plenty of potential off of sheer human ingenuity, limitation breeds creativity and all that. I just think cross-splatting hunters could be cool though you'd have to rebalance everything. Having a singular Garou ronin hunter would outdps literally everyone else, have better tracking because dog smelling, chat with spirits, a bit OP. And they don't spontaneously combust unlike the uppity mages

>>97090733
>Ventrue
Fabrizio Ulfila's just doing typical vamp shite. So he's hopping around the Italian peninsula while (trying to) indirectly control the church. I imagine he's doing the three card monte with ghouls when it comes to Society if they even check up on their vault. He's kind of background syndrome in modern nights. He was more important in Dark Age. He smacks of ventrue MC-syndrome.

>>97090757
What about multi-splat hunters to make them really powerful? Like hunters who are ghouled Garou with Sorcery & True Faith, that would be really cool

Inversions of the clan stereotype, how do you do them well?
How do you do a pauper prince ventrue well or a bruja that isn't a truja?

>>97090792
That'd just be a woof that's one frenzy away from exploding, if they aren't still having an allergic reaction to vitae.
>>97090800
Would an inverted Brujah just be a mercenary? Trujah still, arguably, cares for the cause even if they're stuck up their ass.

>>97090792
You're basically playing an Exalted game at that point. I mean, hell man if your ST wants you to be on GIGA drugs and mentally unstable why not. I would never run it personally as a hardcore power fantasy like that loses 99% of it's steam in the first arc from how easy everything would be or from devolving into
>Holy shit the world is ending (this week)
and
>Holy shit the world is ending (again)
Why the hell would a werewolf need true magic?

>>97090815
Nah, True Faith would keep the werewolf stable
>>97090821
Stay mad

>>97090786
I guess it's kind of cool but if the dude with the same writing style and handwriting has been record keeping for 500+ years this should be raising red flags to anyone above 3 int. It's a neat concept though
>>97090815
>Werewolf has to deal with MAXIMUM RAGE because becoming psychotically insane between the magic and the vitae
>has to also deal with not frenzying immediately
>has to also deal with Paradox assfucking
Just strap a nuke on him or turn him into a Risen, why not

>>97090800
>Pauper prince ventrue
Ventrue leading a semi-underground society of thieves and the destitute against the rich as a figurehead, something like a vampiric Robin Hood
>brujah with no autistic passion
This one is hard as having a passion for your own wellbeing and money is it's own style of passion. You could make a character rather so passionate about being a stoic that they look dispassionate maybe? I wouldn't know. I like >>97090815's mercenary idea but I feel like it's still just your typically Brujah behavior. Brujah kind of has everything going on

>>97090826
>true faith keeps woof stable
Becomes so stable that they can't rage properly. Are you trying to be Sam Haight or that one ghouled hunter who's a masturbatory pos but gets bandied about as HFY's champion.

>>97090733
The Inquisition book had a small section dedicated to the idea of supernatural inquisitors they're supposed to be between ultra rare - nonexistent and that being one would be hard, especially for a vampire one

>>97090875
>One tiny sect of a global multi thousand strong inquisition has like three woofs working together
Not exactly common place, though I've always through numbers/population count is kind of tragically low in WoD. Part of the thing here is that the supernatural itself is rare, you got like fuck all mages, at most 40k vampires, 12k Garou (lol), 35 changelings, maybe 100 mummies, Wraiths don't like hummies so they would never. Who CAN be a supernatural Inquisitor when there's no one around to do it?
I understand your point though, but if it's my game I could make it a neato mini-conspiracy that just caps an arc and leads to another. Typically I'd let the Society just be the Society though, no woofs or any of that

>>97090723
It's not like that hasn't happened before.

Are there any Gifts in Werewolf, any edition that allow one to go all *teleports behind you* with a with a single turn?

ATTENTION!!!
Before you post the inane question
>How would Anonymous react to [insert splat here]?

Consult the following
>Beast: the Descent
>Changeling: the Created
>Demon: the Apocalypse
>Deviant: the Lost
>Geist: the Dreaming
>Hunter: the Renegades
>Mage: the Reckoning
>Mummy: the Forsaken
>Promethean: the Resurrection
>Vampire: the Sin-Eaters
>Werewolf: the Curse
>Wraith: the Vigil
I hope this clears things up.

>>97091817
I still don't understand the hate for Beast. It's one of the most natural splats I've had the pleasure of running.

>>97090844
What about lasombra? How do you flip them around?

>>97091859
Make them someone who is the community problem solver. Kine or kindred. Have it be from a genuine desire to make their little community better. The other kindred will misread it since you'll indirectly become a leader among the kine and somewhat important in local kindred politics but that's more from trying to make things better than you wanting power.
The other direction is being a nomadic traveler. You will be powerfully capable but no lasting social connections leaving you at the bottom social rung eight times out of ten.
It really depends on the lens you look at them with

>>97091927
Community problem solver imo still falls under the Mafioso-vibe Muscle Ruler that Lasombra kind of falls into. I feel like the proper inversion of Lasombra would be more so researcher-type like Beckett, a good force for the "community" if you can assume Kindred can even qualify for that, while also being generally not a terrible guy and trying to sort of uplift kindred as a whole. Lasombra seem particularly selfish, but improving a local community is a Mafioso thing still. I also agree with the spoiler
>>97091859
Beckett-lite example provided above, a proper Lasombra inversion must either be selfless ala Salubri, or genuinely trying to improve the world and not just themselves. Kindred paranoia REALLY pushes back against this though, so good luck

I brewed a custom splat for a pair of players who wanted to be hunters but not shit, and they play hitmarks. Made the secrecy part of the game very important, where they gain or lose favor with the technocracy based on their ability to avoid being seen doing terminator shit, and if it gets too bad then iterators come and reformat them. They have implanted false memories and were both activated and debriefed, and need to struggle with the fact that their lives have been manufactured. Its been fun having them be an Army of Two tho, just fucking mowing down vampires and their ghouls at night, and they had a hearty chuckle over their escapade being reported as an "all out gang war".

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Beast: the Descent. The horror is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the implications will go over a typical player's head. There's also Beast's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into its characterization - a personal philosophy which draws heavily from David Benatar's literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these insights, to realize that they're not just unnerving- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Beast: the Descent truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the horror in Beast's existential catchphrase "In the beast, suffering is self-confined," which itself is a cryptic reference to Peter Wessel Zapffe's The Last Messiah. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Beast: the Descent's genius unfolds itself on its pages. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Beast: the Descent tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

What if you bring back one of the earliest and strangest bits of Vampire setting material, and have the Lasombra trying to re-create Louis Pasteur's solutions that can be used to embrace a person, turning their blood into 4 points of vitae, and also the one that can undo that form of vampirism. That way they can get so many Kindred distracted by the possibilities that there will be less scheming and abuse. Ignore the impressive number of ways this could go wrong even if the formulas can never get improved beyond what they can do.

>>97092545
What would set a Lasombra on such a trial?

>>97092561
Probably the easiest way would be pride to compete with one of the deceased (but long after they were thought to be) greats of the past, but also perhaps as the desire to make an extreme form of palliative care or otherwise make what should be a very permanent deal into a temporary (ish) one.

The main gripe people have with it is how pointless the cruelty feels in most cases and the fact that it took a Player's Guide for someone to think "wouldn't it make more sense for them to have a moral code of some kind?"

Corebook > Hunter > Werewolf = Gheist = Changeling = Demon

Those are ranked in order of how many dread powers they write about but I don't remember most of the details. Werewolves and Gheist deal with spectral bullshit so a decent chunk of their powers are related to the manifestation rules no one cares about. Changeling and Demon have a lot of stuff about empowering and taking abstractions away from mortals.

Deviant is also an option but it's mostly a case where you can make a "rule of 3" math problem and create a fuck ton of powers.

>>97092810

>Giovanni
This guy could have lost one too many children to consanguineous diseases before his embrace leading to the rejection of most of the family's values. He becomes a doctor and helps those souls stuck here to move on before it is too late, it might hurt but at least they know someone is watching their loved ones for a very long time.

Has anyone here actually played or run the world- and cosmic-scale adventures in the Chronicles of Darkness core rulebook?

I am fully aware that Chronicles just is not as popular as the old/classic World. Still, the God-Machine Chronicle's world- and cosmic-scale adventures deeply fascinate me. They are the most over-the-top, most far-reaching, most civilization-upheaving scenarios in all of Chronicles.

These adventures are about saving the world from being invaded by some nightmare realm because people are gaining the ability to teleport across cities, saving the world from some global-scale plague killing off all men and making all women infertile, saving all of spacetime by traveling back to Paris in 1901 to prevent a certain device from being invented: that sort of thing.

And yet, these adventures are for plain old, mortal humans. They are not for elder vampires, archmages, great demons, or even hunters. They are for the weakest, humblest PCs in all of Chronicles. I find it oddly compelling, this way.

Absolutely still a real thing in the 00's, but more like an individual thing than a social movement. Relatively common in some areas, with lingering hippie communes and the like.

But it's been a long time since I saw an actual real-life hippie at this point, let alone one that wasn't obviously a boomer that never moved on.

Am I doing something wrong or does vampire make you need to put a lot of effort in each individual NPC than most RPGs? I'm not at the point of making actual stats for these guys but I find myself having to make a lot of notes about who they're connected to and one liners about their motivations.

Vampire is very story driven. It's also a very personal one, as even the largest of domains have a number of vampires that would struggle to fill out a small town. Everyone knows everyone, in the worst way possible. So yes, it encourages you to put a lot of effort into your characters.

I'd do it as a Matter 3/ Life 3 spell to weave living characteristics into the prosthetics, like feeling of touch and what not.
Matter 4/Life 4 if you want to literally transform the prosthetics into flesh and blood limbs.
Then of course you gotta hide a weapon in your fake limb with wonderful machine/jury rig.

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love, pure and chaste, from afar
To try, when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star!

It's not about (you) not being retarded, it's that addiction is fundamentally pushes you towards retardation.

You're both wrong and correct at the same time. It's just a cool aesthetic, but Tremere has it's own appeal outside of Bloodlines as well. Also, not an anon's fault that the only two clans with competent as in portrayed to actually be useful representation in Bloodlines were the Brujah(fucking kek) and the Tremere.

Just like the fedora-wearing gentleman is a cool aesthetic, that only works in very specific fashion situations and for people who can make it work.

>representation in Bloodlines
This has done irreparable damage to Vampire the Masquerade. Far too many people boil the clans and even the entire Camarilla down to the stereotypes represented in that game. Tremere are all Strauss, Ventrue are all Lacroix, Toreador are all Velvet, Brujah are all Damsel, etc.

I have 0 clue why we need 7 different threads for this IP, but no. The setting schizophrenia is actually what makes the setting so endearing. You talk to a Hindu and he's going to have one of the most insane takes on religion because these people are just not us. It's like that for every splat, and frankly, that's pretty genius. Sure, sometimes it goes poorly. But you have to understand that technically every gameline is independent of the other ones. There are werewolves in Vampire and vampires in Werewolf, but they don't NEED to be the same or the same level of power. There's plenty of insane antagonists for both of them

>>97095213
Two were made by an asshat seething about WtA. The one anon linked is /v/-tier just culture war bait

>>97095198
I mean, White Wolf hired lots of good writers, but they didn't have a unified and cohesive vision. Every book was basically that bunch of writer's interpretation of the World of Darkness, with no agreed lore bible for them all to go back to and ground themselves with.

This is both a good and a bad thing. Every World of Darkness game is effectively its own setting, which is awful for the people who obsess over an unified cross-splat World of Darkness and for the people who want a single coherent mood and theme shared by all of the games, but is great for the people who are able to appreciate all of the different games in different ways.

>>97095213
>The setting schizophrenia is actually what makes the setting so endearing
When it comes to power level slap fights its really not

>>97095332
People who do that are misinterpreting the setting, as are the people who try to run a unified World of Darkness instead of favouring a focal splat.

>>97095198
This is shit stirrer. He's linking one of his low effort bait threads. Do not engage.

>>97095443
How is he wrong though? White wolf writers formed tribes and shit. They actively went out of their way to ruin the charm of the other splats they didn’t personally like. People sent death threats to whoever wrote the Avatar storm because “waaah mages are too cosmic while vampires are street level that’s no fair waaah bring mages back down to earth on our turf waaah”.

>>97095539
The Avatar Storm was introduced by the original writers of Mage because Mage had bloated into something absurd that they had never intended and they wanted to bring it back down to earth. That one was less a case of inter-splat sabotage, more case of the original Mage team toning things and shifting the focus away from inter-planetary turf wars across the Umbral solar system.

As for fame, it's a different beast. Because you can apply the idea of when you were famous. Your time past but you're still remembered.

What even classifies someone as an Autum Person? I think your average Joe has 7 banality by default. Does being a sane and rational adult count as being banal?

>>97096125
Nah, an Autumn person is someone who specifically goes out of their way to make things around them more banal, not just your average joe working a 9 to 5.
It's someone who rips up their child's drawing to make them study, removes even nice looking graffiti because they want that wall to be grey-brown or the type of person who just loves tearing others down for being different and looks for any excuse to do so.

In the ghouls fatal addiction book iirc, it mentions that when vampires do reward ghouls with sex, it's usually oral. Which almost seems more demeaning, if the vampire is the one giving, you know?

>>97096275

>>97096080
My main gripe with it is how pointless the supernatural side comes across and how it fucks with any sense of optimism related to other game lines because it sells itself as the game where you actually try to be a decent person despite it all.
Fuck the vampire who does good despite the hunger. Fuck the werewolf who fight inspite of the hopelessness of the approaching apocalypse. Fuck the mages trying to shape the world into what they believe it's better.

You are a fairy that needs to Larp and avoid j*b applications or else you loose your magic powers/schizophrenia.

Help me with my worldbuilding, /tg/.

The Court in my city has captured a Tzimisce/Caitiff that knows Vissicitude. Since he surrendered and is willing to do almost anything to survive, what stops the whole Court (and maybe some people outside of it) to learn Vicissitude from him? What stops it from just becoming a currency?

Likewise, in canon lore, what stops the Courts of the cities to hoard off rare disciplines from captive cainites, or having their Ghouls Embraced by captive Sabbat members before killing them off and enjoy a childe with, say, Valeren or Obtenebration?

>>97097127
Well learning a discipline, even with a mentor, tends to be a bit more involved than just taking a nip and thinking you know better. Good luck finding a salubri for Valern, remember rarity exists and I doubt salubri are breaking 100 members globally. As for Obtenebration, well, I think the Lasombra hunting your ass down and beating you to death with your shiny new power is the warning. Hell it doesn't even have to be Lasombra. The Abyss will do it if you aren't careful and someone grasping blindly isn't careful.

>>97097127
The Prince & his Sherrif would MAYBE only let a chosen few to learn it with the express ban that they cannot teach it to others. Remember that it's a weird & disturbing power that other kindred will not see favorably. I would use it as a plot point for something down the road

>>97096936
>sells itself as a game where you actually try to be a decent person despite it all
What do you mean by this? I feel like this easily applies itself to Vampire unless you refer to how Changelings are basically forced into being larpers the same way vampires are forced to drink blood. I don't think this means you NEED to be a decent person though, there's plenty of ways to larp. It's not like you can avoid the job application either, you just have to not OD on Banality while you do it

>>97096275

>>97097225
I feel this is the more "correct" interpretation though depending on the players and parties involved it could be different. Maybe a certain elite selection of the Prince's Pets are allowed to actually learn a little bit of Vicissitude as a reward for doing especially well

The big bad vampire lady is really going to be okay with giving a kine some sloppy? In an ideal situation (me) the answer would be yes but the wod dating sim was several threads ago

>>97097957
A Time of Monsters, not quite VN as this is just a text game with a couple of stat checks while being rather low on visuals. It's very much just OK, if you're hungering for WoD and are in nogamesville or waiting. I feel like the Hunter games don't really understand the setting too well but Hunters themselves don't understand the setting very well so
Unfortunately, it's going to be Hunter games from here on out until some gigachad ignores the wod5 mandate and writes a Wraith or Mage novel.
