>>97192171My latest character enjoys hunting parties with his cop buddies. Sometimes the prey isn't a suspect. Edginess aside, I'm trying to flesh the guy out as a Dirty Cop BSD but ran out of ideas pretty quick.
>>97192290The pic I forgot
ATTENTION!!!Before you post the inane question>How would Anonymous react to [insert splat here]?Consult the following>Beast: the Vigil>Changeling: the Awakening>Demon: the Created>Deviant: the Dreaming>Geist: the Fallen>Hunter: the Ascension>Mage: the Lost>Mummy: the Apocalypse>Promethean: the Oblivion>Vampire: the Curse>Werewolf: the Masquerade>Wraith: the ResurrectionI hope this clears things up.
>>97192171>What are your characters' favorite way to party?She was always fond of the pythian games, and its late night games and feasting after the main events.
>>97191936neat! thanks anon
Any takes on the Fan Games? If you are going to make this every thread you might as well include them for variety.>>97192322
>>97192171Bullshit, LaCux can't bust moves like that.
>>97192375Princess: the awakening
>>97192171To answer the thread question with a smattering of characters I've played:>Ventrue Neonate, Modern Nights.Something upscale and classy but not too stuffy. You can play music other than classical, dance dances other than ballroom dances, but certain standards should be kept. It's a very thin line to tread, especially with many vampire's inclinations towards vulgarity. Ultimately, she likes an occasion to dress up, in a venue big enough for her to flit between being the center of attention and having more substantial conversations at the periphery. >Independent Hunter, 1816 Louisville. Teetering on the edge of socially acceptable for his era. Never quite going past that threshold, but dancing on the line. Strong drink, loud music, lots of dancing. >Farwalker Ogre, 1891 London.Heavy drinking and carousing. Doesn't actually engage much in parties himself, but that's how they "ought to" be. He's a bit too asocial to be a party animal. His idea of a good evening is taking on a half dozen gangsters in a dimly lit alley. >>97192370No problem anon, hope you enjoy.
>>97192424I raise you Genius the Forsaken
>>97192375Unrelated but I’m considering making a fan game where the player characters are Angels and it’s about being good and fighting for a world that hates you.
>>97192424>>97192526Princess: the aberrationPrincess: the binding
>>97192550>Princess: the BindingA game of Suitors
>>97192550>Princess: the bindingThat's Cardcaptor Sakura.
>>97192171What is this particular dance move called?
>>97192398The Anarchs don't want you to know.
>>97192398it's how he communicates with the sherrif
How do you put back the toothpaste on a big masquerade breach? If an elder for whatever reason frenzies and starts fucking shit up downtown, cars flying, people ripped in half, leaping through roofs, is it just over? If the Prince says "aiieee help me players" where do you start?
>>97192398I. Fucking. Hate. Elysium.All the Anarchs at Elysium make me do the Fortnite dance and shout “Go Cammy boy Go!”
>>97192620
>>97192620your city's elysium allows anarchs? inside?
>>97192620What's your clan?
>>97192398He was challenged to a dance battle by some monk who claims that God guides his moves.
Are any of those games worth downloading?https://worldofdarkness.itch.io/
>>97192614They've likely got their bot farms or the equivalent spreading misinfo. By then it's stepping into government cover ups and the like. Things that the Prince should already have a hand in, so the players being involved is odd. Were they in the center of this Elder freaking on it? That's a different matter and they're expected to compile i.e. help cover up the breach
>>97192614claim it was drugs, get the local nos' to comment all the videos of the event were ai generatedAlso holy fuck this new captcha sucks
>>97192614The vampires in charge of big platforms will suppress it in the algorithms.
>>97192614>fucking shit up downtown, cars flying, people ripped in half, leaping through roofsIt's part and parcel of living in a modern multicultural city.
>>97192614It was a biker gang that got ahold of a bad batch of PCP, also a series of unrelated gas leaks.
>>97192614Gas leaks are always helpful. Workers can be made to come forward to corroborate the story. Unless they're making looney toons holes in walls as they run through them it's a lot easier to say "A person did that? Are you hearing yourself? It's obviously that motorbike that's on the other side of the wall."
>>97192614Random terror attacks and crackheads going insane, police was helpless blah blah blah, give the city more funding to deal with this.

>>97192759Working fine for me.
>>97192535I wish you good luck with your project.
>>97192756Another 10 billion to isreal
>>97192535Bit odd considering the world of WoD doesn't hate angels. god does, indirectly, because of the apathy.
>>97192535So, Demon: the Fallen but everyone's a Reconciler?
>>97192854Probably that or high XP Wraith fuckery.
>>97191735>>97191771I can't blame the furry. To be honest, it's one thing to want to fuck the Woofs, but then it's another thing where the game beats you over the head that it's some beyond Dark Romance-tier abusive relationship."Most Garou mate for life" seems kind of hard to reconcile with the way they treat kinfolk not just as second class citizen, but literally just servile breeders. Samuel Haight might have been an edgelord, but you cannot blame him when you read some of the shit like kinfolk getting trained to show submission to not get literally murdered or something. I'm not sure if this is really a consequence of the writers desperately wanting to differentiate Werewolf from Vampire or from some sick level of perversion for Abusive victim x Abuser type of relationships. Nevermind the insane amount of Rape that would put Vampire to shame
>>97192297Jessica....
>>97192290>>97192297>>97192900Why do anons like the BSD so much? Just play Euthanotoi or something based instead if you want to be an edgelord
>>97192881Beast: the Primordial is the worst parts of Werewolf: the Apocalypse and Changeling: the Dreaming put together.
>>97192905>Why do anons like the BSD so much?I don't, I just posted purple man because anon posted Jessica Jones. I couldn't care less about the dogs.
>>97192910Well yeah but that one's a bit shameless, WtA at least somewhat tries to play cover story for the Garou that isn't "the rape is totally for the good of humanity lol" and more like "yeah it's pretty damn barbaric but the situation is fucked"Also, damn that new Captcha is going to take time to get used to
>>97192911I'm halfway tempted to make a poll asking for every anon's favorite splat now
>>97192938Why not? It'd be a nice change from the constantly repeating ritual posts and arguments.
>>Changeling: the AwakeningWhat would that even imply?
>>97192956>>>Changeling: the (sexual) Awakening
>>97192483oh you weren't kidding when you said blood sorcery is nearly as long as the rest... and you are still missing some setite sorcery
>>97192854Maybe? I don’t know Demon that well.I was thinking the playable character types would be based on the Angelic Hierarchy, so your Seraphim and Cherubim and such. >>97192843Maybe more about trying to fix a broken world, then? I was thinking about something involving themes of being a good person. >>97192818Thank you! So far it’s just an idea but I might go for it fully!
>>97192956Realizing you were autistic all along.
>>97193201DtF demons are fallen angels. Reconcilers are a faction amongst those who believe rebelling was a mistake and want to get back in God's good graces. Or failing that, try to fix the broken world.>I was thinking the playable character types would be based on the Angelic Hierarchy, so your Seraphim and Cherubim and such.I think Demon does that in a pretty interesting way. The Houses (splat equivalent to clans and such, they had those even back when they were Angels) are based somewhat loosely on the seven days of Genesis (Light, Firmament, Earth, Spheres, Water, Wilds and Death) but had those rankings within them when they were created.After rebelling, their ranks turned into more of meritocracy instead.
>>97192171>TQMy Ahroun enjoys live music performances of all stripes. Regrettably has to stay away from moshpits forever.
>>97193168>and you are still missing some setite sorceryI know. I just lost the will to complete the thing when I saw some of the Setite Sorcery paths, especially when they seemed kinda semi-redundant with a lot of the existing Paths, or just outright busted on concept like the Hand of Knhum or whatever that one that lets a setite bitchsmack someone from across the planet was called. I also didn't include any of the Kraina style Koldunic Sorcery, just the old slavatar stuff + way of sorrow which seemed cool. Or most if any non-baseline rituals because of how annoying they are to track down in actual books so I can get down to brass tacks on adapting it. If people really want ALL the blood sorcery included, I suppose I could add that stuff over the course of the next few months, but I'd be concerned it'd just add another 50 pages to the book for stuff maybe a handful of people would use.
>>97193008
>>97193252>I know. I just lost the will to complete the thing...[totally reasonable blood sorcery critic]completely understandable and this is already a huge for a fanmade pdf especially if you compare it for the offical 1e translation guide which remind you costed money>If people really want ALL the blood sorcery includednah you do you i would have personally liked stuff ushabti and revelation of midgard because those are my favorite paths, but like i said i am already in awe at how big this is
>>97192956Either the mundane realm is encroaching on the Dreaming or mortals are "waking up" to the fae influence all around them.
>Vampire: the CurseWould this be even more focused on Caine?
>>97193362Yes, a game full of Noddist nonsense
>>97192956You fell asleep a hundred years ago at a fae party.
>>97192905Im not any of these anons, but I only like BSDs when they are jungian shadow conquerors, the normal BSD are just corrupted wolves that are great goons for most WtA plots

What would be the best evil faction to be behind a bunch of evil religious jews trying to start the end times?
>>97193445They aren't hiding it?
>>97193415Uuuuhhh, sexy!!!
>Deviant: the Dreaming
>>97192956You are a Changeling in the classical sense, a fairy being who was swapped for a human child and raised as one. Now that you've come of age you've "awakened" to your fairy nature and discovered the reason for your being swapped, the fae courts have erupted into open warfare making Arcadia a much more dangerous place than it used to be, and now that you've awakened, you're getting conscripted. Changeling: The Awakening is a game about ancestral enmities, unwanted birthrights, and losing yourself as you dive head first into the stuff of legend.

Like it or not, this is what Paradox thinks the peak coterie/pack/cabal/circle/motley should look like.
>>97193312Well I'm happy to hear you're liking it. My table and some friends in different groups have run three separate chronicles with it. In the spirit of the holidays, I might find the will to add Ushabti and Revelations of Midgard. If I do I'll be happy to drop it here.

>>97193621It is a neat idea, don't let the comments get to you.
>>97193497I like the idea of Arcadian Sleep agents but they need something to support the idea in more practical scenarios.
Which WoD or CofD game line does this premise fit best in?
>>97193447Pick any splat.
>97193738This is rage bait.
>>97193738Mortal or Sorcerer, add Inferno and 96 XP worth of twilight familiars if you want to be an ass.
>>97193743Of course.
>>97193775honestly it is, but I don't get the attitude of people who beg for their perfect game made to their exacting specifications just for them.Nut up and make it. Disco Elysium is a glorified VN, you don't need much in the way of a codemonkey to get that done.
>>97193792I'm not disagreeing with you, I half expected this shit to be an add for a RPG maker project
>Demon: the CreatedFinally, they made a game about egregores.
>>97192614Nothing taught me more about Masquerade Breach corrections than real life. Just out of my hand, global-wide we have found literal, genuine jewish secret tunnels under New York with secret rooms. There was footage and all. And it was completely memoryholed. Shit like this would have blown a whole scandal/conspiracy scheme. Locally, a few years back the socialite mother of the mayor of the capital of my state (big country here) was caught on tape snorting cocaine from a prostitute's asscheek a few years back. It was a legit video, which I watched. However, the dude's pocket was seemingly so big NO local, regional or state-wide news platform commented on the fact. It was like it never happened at all. Mind you, it was even trending on Twitter, then a few days after nothing. Those two unrelated events just showed me that with enough power and influence, nothing short of an asteroid (if that) would be noticed by people in the long run.
>>97193738>>97193743>>97193769>>97193792>>97193810I think the problem with the original post is that it devalues all the artistic aspects that make DE work so well with each and hones in on essentially>Well written VN with a dialogue system that includes passive and active skill checksHow is that any different from Planescape: Torment?

Unironic soulless bitch for thinking Harry is a generic middle aged white male too. It's almost a purposeful misunderstanding of the medium and the game itself.
>>97193635>listen to Avantris>even the one where the DM is playing as a furry adventure>it's just 5 retarded dudebros who are funny (even the smart one)Not trying to shill, but I like that some people are still willing to play parties that are more fun fun than an ideological component.
>>97193714>Be a Werewolf with 0 moral restrictionsThis is WtA pre W5 though, you just have to accept that you're going to have a lot of upset Garou/Kinfolk if you act that way. The BSD understands this and does it anyway, which is based.
>>97193289I don't get it
>>97193941I watch those little animated Avantris clips and that's it. It's essentially improv sketch comedy for me. Funny to watch but I know I'd genuinely be miserable if my group was like that, because that's not what I want with my tabletop RPGs.
Why can't changelings sire children again?
>>97193949She gets molested by her father.
>>97193911Jewish tunnels were a conspiracy theory before they were just a conspiracy though. It's just that most Americans don't care like most people don't care because they're either psyoped or stupid and don't think at all about what those things represent. It's all really about what the media wants you to think, in the old days you would have probably some leaders of the community organize an investigation or a lynching but those people these days are either in on it or they're brainwashed.
>>97193954That's fair yeah, I wouldn't listen to them for a long time either. Just thought it was a party that was built around fun dynamics rather than something being performative to liberal identity politics than critical role with guy playing a trans character or 60% of couples being lesbian and what have you. My DnD group is just bros dicking around with each other following a plot line or two.
>>97193963They can but that leads to, and requires, a lot of bullshit.

>>97192424>>>/lgbt/
>>97194919Hmm. I think it would still make them kind of crazy considering they'd weaken their connection to the spirits then among other things, but yeah I guess that's a fair take. They should be able to be ghouled too but with a lot more blood I think. >>97194967My bad there, assumed it was Kinfolk instead of beast but I suppose beast makes more sense. Admittedly, I'm not as familiar with CofD.
>>97194902>Words spoken 15 seconds before getting attacked by the Wraithcops on their Wraithcruiser with their Wraithguns for being a WraithcriminalThe spooks take the Dictum Mortuum very seriously when it's a small time wraith like yourself doing it instead of a nepo position Wraith.

>>97195120Considering how ubiquitous the setting makes Charon to Stygia, I was surprised to find out the dude has been missing since the end of WWII.Still a better track record for a splat leader than Caine, Xue, or the Sidhe
>>97194415One of the thing that annoys me about Beast in specific is unlike most people, I think their was a kernel of a decent idea there, but it was botched in pretty much every way possible. It doesn't matter if they're meant to be a crossover splat if they can't stand on their own feet. I've ruminated on what could make it better more than any person should think about Beast.
>>97195141What have you learned from your ruminations? Cause I too liked the part of the Beasts just lurking in the background as a one off night folk
>>97195139He had a very sick exit though>Oblivion summons Gojiro>Charon the goat fights him hand to hand>Goes missingI think maybe it was a metaplot they would expand on had Wraith been more popular, but the King's throne being empty in a decaying kingdom of ghosts is very on theme with the depressive and angst-y nature of Wraith
Ventrue women are forever and always, and I cannot emphasize this enough, WEAK to anal.
>>97195211Not just the women either.
What are the implications of the difficulty system in V20 compared to the flat difficulty in V5?

>>97193963Because pets get neutered.Alternatively (if thats too dark) it's because thats not how Fae reproduce. The Gentry will themselves into existance out of the Wyrd, then bargain for Titles to be something. Hobgoblins are made from dreamstuff, slivers of souls drifting the Hedge or the stuff that passes as matter within the Hedge/Arcadia. On some level the Fae might know what pregnancy is, but for them it's not needed, beyond as a performance for Drama.Changelings are still half human (or so they cope) and can neither reproduce as humans do, nor as Fae do.Personaly my headcanon is that Changelings are the larvae state of True Fae, the vestigal human souls remains acting as a sort-of cocoon and limiter on their power. So changelings can either mature to become Gentry and reproduce as Gentry do, use their magic like Contracts or Hedgespinning to make Hobgoblin children / use that one goblin contract from Goblin Markets (somethingsomething midwife) to make cursed mortal children.Coincidentaly i made a mini template for the children of changelings because it annoyed me as well.
>>97192668You realize that anarchs are formally part of the Camarilla, right? The anarchs of today are those that stem from the Convention of Thorns; the original anarchs that refused peaceful accords is literally the Sabbat.Blocking the anarchs from entry to Elysium would violate hospitality and the spirit of the convention. Only the Sabbat could reasonably - maybe - be denied the right to Elysium, and even that is only because they traditionally do not recognize its validity themselves. But even so, even the Sabbat is usually covered by it on the basis that if they were not, any kind of peaceful discourse would be literally impossible - they're really just (usually) watched closer than anyone else, and them showing up would likely ruffle feathers and result in a disc scratch sound effect.
Thinking bad thoughts about the Serverblight TF" Horror thing and SAVIOR (The Player who it's stringing along to play into his religious fanaticism) would work great as a Widderslainte Infernalist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IDjFhCLaKAGranted the Blight is probably analogous to a Nexus Crawler and so it would likely lose in a fistfight with Mage, but otherwise...

>>97195407Nah, the Server Blight is like a new world Goblin or True Fae. The kind of creature that you either specialized against or defenceless against.
>>97195336Thanks for the stuff you actually wrote down.
>>97195255The difficulty in V5 is variable but it tracks the number of successes rather than increasing the threshold to succeed. If you want something more useful take the comparison between OWoD and Exalted probabilities, because WoD 5 just took Exalted core engine as an excuse to sell proprietary dice.
HtVAnon, quick update. There won't be another session this year, health issues, scheduling and then christmas. Hopefully the campaign can pick up in the new year, but it's always rough in my experience to pick up where we left off after what'll be a six week break. Fingers crossed though. And this new captcha system is absolute dogshit.
>>97195619Best of luck
>>97192881Most of the kinfolk stuff is overblown by secondaries. The actual books allude to there being some mistreatment by some Garou, and that the average Garou doesn't consider them part of the tribe proper. But if you were a terrorist would you want your non-combatant family members to join you in your suicide bombings?
>>97195336Do they ever say what happens to a changeling that never escapes? Like can they keep their human soul forever, or do they eventually just become part of the Realm or something like that?
>>97195719If they don't escape they remain in the quasi timeless Arcadia, completly dominated by their Keepers will and whim. They may die, of course only if their lord agrees, be ressurected, if their lord agrees, or even remain alive, as long as their lord others to feed them.Unless freed from outside or making it out a changeling might slave away for milennia in arcadian time and still be in his prime years, or wither away into a old cripple in hours earth time.The Soul splinters under the Keepers torment and the Durance in Arcadia, as well as getting torn by the thorns during the escape. Once damaged by durance and/or thorns the holes and cracks get repaired with glamour and this turns you into a fae. Either your keeper or your escape define kith/ seeming at players choice.However once your soul is repaired/infused/replaced in parts by glamour there is no going back and you are fae.What happens beyond that hinges on the mental strength of the captive. If you can keep your sense of self you remain a changeling, if you can't you will become little more than a puppet of your Keeper. Worst of all, if not even you remember that you exist you might get forgotten entirely. And only if no one remembers you existed you are completly beyond help.>>97195581No problem. I like talking about CtL.
Is this what Changellings (the dreaming) are supposed to be like?
>>97195787Only some of them, they have their fair share of edgelords, snobs, and schizos too
Does Demon the Fallen have anything like half demon kids as a tenplate?
>>97195708You have a good point with this take, but I feel like it also (and the Garou as well) ignores the implication of the Kinfolk in Garou terrorism merely by association as well as hosting and subservience to Garou. This on top of a Garou patriarch or matriarch usually having control over the family of Kinfolk as well. Yeah, your non-combatant family might not be direct terrorists but the nanosecond they feed and clothes you, especially as an honored guest, no task force in the world is going to ignore that. Even if they're questioned that they're under the threat of death or abuse or something, it's still pretty fucked up. I am aware it's not all Garou and most of them except Shadow Lords or Glass Walkers try to treat Kinfolk better but it's still, like an anon posted last thread, a very specific and weird furry breeding kink expanded into a not-insignificant subsection of the gameline. Yeah you could probably go an entire WtA game without any mention of kinfolk just like you could go an entire VtM game without weird ghoul/vamp bdsm or sire/childe power dynamics stuff, but it doesn't really remove that aspect from the setting. Granted, it's very atmospheric and good world building for WoD and W5s removal of it was a gay way to handle it because Kinfolk abuse is relatively pretty logical to bake into the setting. It's still kind of weird, especially compared to every other splat that doesn't have feudal-tier familial grooming and hierarchies. It's like an edgier, more abusive Revenant concept.

>>97195846no. nephilim existed in lore but they currently aren't any the topic also didn't come up much because you have to remember that the fallen only been out for 3 to 4 years before the world ended and gameplay wise they already had a minior template with the thralllorewise it's unknown if they can even make nephilim right now because they are in human bodies + nephilim had been created before the fall broke reality and it's hinted that it wasn't as easy as just having kids with mortals as everyone beside one major earthbound (who would have no body) agreed that they went too far with the "atrocities" that created the nephilim so it's unlikely that anyone even tried before the time of judgmenta anon on here made a homebrew once by combining a mage merit with devil's due arcana but i don't have it on hand
>>97195983Seems reasonable.
>>97195902>enjoy your /tg/ hobbiesAn autumn person would never say this. There's still hope, ChangelingBros
In my current VtM game, I've got a oWoD diehard and a guy who primarily got into WoD via VtR and nWoD before settling back on VtM. The two of them talking has made me notice how your entry point into the setting seems to permanently color your perception of it.VtM guy...>Sees the setting as being about individuals doing things- he did, she did>Lots of focus on humanity, trying to cling to it, regain it, make it into a path, so on>Tends to be somewhat dismissive of the metaplot beyond a character hook or twoVtR guy...>Sees the setting as basically just supernatural politics- the Camarilla did, the Sabbat did>Your splat just determines where you fit in, but it's very "dry">Any mysticism is just another scam, as well as alternatives>You wanted to be human, you should have killed yourself yesterday>An odd tendency to refer to things as ascended fanonWhat's interesting to me is that they both openly prefer oWoD and play it near exclusively, but this has got me thinking about how similar VtR guy is to other people I've met. Stereotypes by splat is one thing, but some people seem to just carry assumptions from their first system forward into infinity. Any other traits I've missed or for other splats?
>>97196269More like you purposefully missed the forest for the trees just to give your opinion an air of validity.
