(beyond just taking place around the timeframe)
>>97239803I've actually never really had a holiday episode in any ttrpg, not just WoD. I wouldn't really know how to work that into a plot or a one shot.
>>97239803>Has Christmas/the holiday season ever played a role in your game? (beyond just taking place around the timeframe)Not in WoD, no. The longest chronicle I played in ran for over 90 sessions; but we only got through a couple of in-game days per session, so we only got through the spring and summer. Malifaux and Dark Heresy are the only campaigns I can think of where we had distinctly Christmas-themed stories.
I'm not someone big into Mage so I must ask: How do the different traditions interact even in the same player group? Don't their paradigms contradict each other and accrue paradox or is that decided merely by sleeper consensus? Do they all somewhat hate and mistrust each other as much as the kindred clans? I can't see a Celestial Chorister caring much for the Verbena's crystals and voodoo nonsense, or an Etherite what those cooky religious wackos are cooking in the face of Enlightened Science and Progress.
>>97240113>I think you're fucking insane but you do somehow wield magic despite that, and the men in black are trying to kill you just like they're trying to kill me, so let's work together? Enemy of my enemy and so on. Just don't try and convince me to do any of your healing crystal bullshit, or I'll punch you in the fucking nose.
>>97240113Reality is determined by the consensus, not much else matters. They mostly think the other traditions are ignorant idiots, and they're all just working together to not get smashed in by BIG SCIENCE. Even in the event that they win, the traditions are all planning on going to war with each other when they feel comfortable enough.But this the general sentiment. People are individuals outside of their magical allegiances, and with magic being personal and unique in the first place, the idea of "factions" only extends as far as a mage can spread their ideas to the naïve or free-minded.Like, for example. If a Dreamspeaker communes with the spirit world, a Chorister assumes they are simply praying to the One without realising it. If an Ecstatic enters a state of magical high, a Dreamspeaker assumes they are touching the periphery.
>>97240113Even in canon there's infighting and animosity between the traditions, they're bound together mostly by a shared enemy. For your examples, the chorister might assume the verbena is blessed by the one, god works in mysterious ways. The etherite might believe that those mages are somehow harnessing ether through primitive or undiscovered methods, it's not like scientists know everything about the universe.
>>97240113>How do the different traditions interact even in the same player group?Depends on individual dynamics. Some are brought together by circumstances, but joined through common goals, genuine friendship, etc.>Don't their paradigms contradict each other and accrue paradox or is that decided merely by sleeper consensus?It's only decided by sleeper consensus. HOWEVER, some areas have different consensus. For example, you can get away with having a laser gun be coincidental in an advanced scientific facility but not in a backwards village that doesn't even have electricity. Meanwhile, dancing to make the spirit of Father Thunder strike your enemies can be a lot more accepted over there than in the mentioned lab.Clashing paradigms only really matter mechanically when Mages try to use each other's tools and only when they're beyond instinctive. For example, if a Verbena knows what a gun is he shouldn't have a problem firing the Etherite's raygun. Meanwhile, a Virtual Adept may have a much harder time learning how to use Dreamspeaker talismans. That said, they can definitely learn and there's merits to do this easier.>Do they all somewhat hate and mistrust each other as much as the kindred clans? I can't see a Celestial Chorister caring much for the Verbena's crystals and voodoo nonsense, or an Etherite what those cooky religious wackos are cooking in the face of Enlightened Science and Progress.Stereotypically? Sometimes, yeah. But mixed cabals can also be very strongly knit units that understand how their differences make them stronger. Specially when there's some points of agreement.A Christian Chorister would probably give a pagan Verbena the side-eye. But a pagan, thelemite, luciferian or even hare krishna Chorister? They'd be a lot more chill. And Etherites have "occult scientists" that dedicate their lives to understanding the magick of other traditions and even learn how to integrate it into their weird science (there's a merit for this).
>>97240239>>97240113I find the implication hilarious that the nanosecond one Tradition is moderately bigger than the others, they'll just replace the technocracy and the technocracy will become part of the traditions instead as a gay pro-consensus faction by necessity. Or maybe they just stay independent.
Merry Christmas, /wodg/
A technocrat tranquilizes a pack of werewolves and dresses them up as reindeer for his union-funded Christmas party What happens next?
>>97240460lots of dead Technocrats (and that's a good thing)
>>97240460Depends on the type of party and the convention. >Syndicate (SPD) is bringing them to a Pentex exec meeting as a gift >NWO agent is proud to present his new dog training program >Iteratorx will use them for a target practice (christmas themed, they don't like the theme part)>Progenitors would actually turn them into some weird hybrid for the lols (they'll kill them later anyway)No idea for void engineers
>>97240460>>97240516What pack of werewolves? Which tribes are we talking?
Merry Christmas! Posting my Lasombra, Aino, from a chronicle set in Finland!
>>97240543Cool. Was this a commission or AI? What's the story for that?
>>97240541Why does it matter? All werewolves are the same
>>97240566It was a commission, I prefer not to use AI. The artist is FeaurieV!
>>97240516Void engies would probably just off them if they were deemed a threat to humans. They care more about humans than they care about Earth, but they're not malicious.
>>97240583I could see a technocrat getting some use out of Glass Walkers beyond furry murder. Or BSDs as well, all things considered.
>>97240583>magefags
>>97240606It's very aesthetic but it looked so anime I had to ask myself a bit. In hindsight AI really struggles with text so I suppose that should have been the tell.
>>97240630How can he be a magefag when all they talk about is making pets or furniture out of werewolves?
>>97240658Only Magefags think all other non mage splats are the same or “look alike”. They are massive douches.
>>97240641 That's fair, I do want to try and get more styles of her commissioned but art be expensive, here's her main ref done by PirateCashoo
>>97240460That's a lot of dead wizards
Dumb WoD question: do merits that lower difficulty usually stack? Say, if I have Enchanting Voice AND buy Ability Aptitude for Subterfuge, do I get -4 on my rolls? Picture just to grab attention.
Why are WtA fans so thin-skinned? Why aren't people allowed to talk smack about your precious werewolves without you throwing tantrums? Lol. Actually, lmao.
>>97240695Ask your ST.
>>97240666We know they're different but that doesn't matter, they're all filthy RDs and need to go.
>>97239938Honestly, depends on the chronicle. My coterie once got abducted to the Dreaming for a...three shot adventure. It was pretty fun.>>97240460A Progenitor will argue that Cybertigers are better.>>97240666From my experience, vampirefags take the cake. If only because they try to turn everything into the samey blend of shit as babies first vampire game. This is especially true recently with the 5th edition newfags.
>>97240666Sooo they act just like their character? Based
>>97240543>>97240676Holy fucking wow. I like the second one a little more but both are great.
>>97240710How does it work with your group?
>>97240676Would
>>97240757"Hey ST I want a -4 modifier for every time I lie""No"
>>97240699Buddy, I don't like the Wooffags and their constant butthurt but it's Christmas. Lay off it for a day would you?
>>97240445Merry Christmas! Still waiting for the stories from your chronicles in the future.>>97240776He is the same troll who starts his bait the same way everytime. Ignore him.
>>97240699>>97240776We should Mummy-post on Christmas, Saint Nick is clearly a Mummy.
>>97240776But it's so fun poking fun at them and their retarded werewolves, you can't even talk about how retarded werewolves are without making them protest. No other fags in this thread are even a fraction as sensitive as they are, it's hilarious.
>>97240776I would think trolling about Werewolf constantly would actually be a bigger sign of 'constant butthurt' but hey what do I know. I'm only one of about three people max in here with an active game :^)
>>97240825Tell us about your favorite splat then? I'm a Wraith fag but though I like Werewolves even if they're retarded. >>97240831I'm running an introductory chronicle into the setting first with some friends soon before moving on to what I actually want to play. Soonish, I hope.
>>97240776Just ignore him, he's as bad as dbzspics having splat power level slap fights.
>>97240849sick, what splat are you easing them into?
>>97240859Vampire to sort of ease them into the system and more of the weird parts of the setting and then we'll play a Wraith/Risen game. Considering letting them keep the characters if they like them, though the whole regrets part might be hard to reconcile.
>>97239803Which splats are the best pussy eaters?
>>97240743 Thanks!
>>97240765She appreciates you volunteering for bloodbag duty!
>>97240932Princesses
>>97240831It's not my fault that werewolves are so easy to trick, capture, train, enslave, skin, and so, so much more.
>>97240831Hey buzz off, I'm playing in a Changeling: the Lost game right now. You're not special because you have a game. right? we can't be the only ones surely.
>>97239803>TQIn my medieval sorcerer game playtesting a custom nWoD Sorcerer template, for the people (like my group) that don't like Mage but want a proper full template for mortal magic users. we had an arc set during Christmas. The PCs were wintering in an NPC ally's hometown, right after a wyrmish rite had blighted that year's harvest. Our intrepid wizards had to stave off a full-blown outbreak of bane possession with limited knowledge and keep the town from literally eating itself. It culminated with a battle against the fomoricized parish priest at midnight mass.
>>97241054>in my mind, it was real
>>97241126Prove me wrong.
>>97240937Well at least I'm gonna die while sporting a rock-hard boner.
>>97240831Yeah, 95+% of posters here gave not seen a table in years. That's why everything they post about is exclusively metaplot related.Then again, IF you play there is nothing to gain from posting about it here. Quite the opposite, they'll get angry.Personaly my group plays deviant currently, but hopefully i'll get to run Ctal for them again soon.
Another piece of her going for a swim on a cool Arctic night, done by ine_:3!
>>97240937>LasombraI'd probably be in a cage 45% of the time, but hey, she's hot.>>97241091I'm curious how you anons have friends or people that ST your games for free. I basically only play when I'm the one ST'ing because no one else likes the setting enough to ditch DnD or their autism like Cyberpunk.
>>97240716>A Progenitor will argue that Cybertigers are betterWell, unlike woofs they are a product of enlightened science and could become a part of the consensus when the minds of the masses become more open the Truth.
>>97241115Do you really need a proper template for mortal magic users? You could just play a variant Hunter or Deviant game, but more power to you if that works out. It does sound pretty comfy too.>>97241054This is Homid cope before they get sent to the pens.
>>97241217All there needs to be is some DNA research article about how the werewolf gene is real and how some dudes just have it and suddenly it's in the consensus too, they're not special.
>>97241002>PrincessesHell, yeah!
>>97241213She's more the dark wizard/witch king wannabe type than the mafia type, so I hope you like spooky Abyss rituals and shades!
>>97240683scientists* (and dont you DARE remind me how indistinguishable science is from wizardry unless you want a probe shoved up your ass)
>>97240716>A Progenitor will argue that Cybertigers are better.And then they get thrown out of the room for being a buzzkill.
>>97241229Most people have a hard believing we share a common ancestor with apes>If you’re saying we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys around? Checkmate, atheists!You really think a majority of these same people are going to accept some might have a “wolf” gene based on a, of all things, a published “peer-reviewed” scientific study?Lol, lmao even
Isn’t there a hypothetical consensus that can allow for all consensuses? Even if it’s contradictory you can just hide out in your isolated paradigm bubble?I find mages weird when they aren’t being as scientific as they could. The hermetics are more scientific than the union for the simple reason that they turned pillars into spheres, and there is -always- going to be a successor theory to look forward to.So, if spheres came after pillars, what will come after spheres?
>>97241242>Lasombra QT will never ask you to carry candles and focus the lighting so her ritual has the proper atmosphereWhy even live bros?
>>97241289>Even if it’s contradictory you can just hide out in your isolated paradigm bubble?That’s Marauder talk, son.>I find mages weird when they aren’t being as scientific as they couldHello? The Sons of Ether?>what will come after spheres?Mass Ascension
>>97241229As if the magical Illuminati controlling nearly all mass-media and the science community would allow you to do that without being deboonked by 6 gorillion ScienceTM articles
>>97241280True, the genetic PTSD might also put a damper on things.>>97241289This is starting to sound like Marauder talk. Surely, you aren't this schizophrenic are you? You can't have magic (lack of logical rules for reality) and science (exploitation of logical rules for reality) at the same time?>What comes after spheres?If a cylinder(pillar) is comprised of stacked spheres, then logically the main shape that makes up a bunch of spheres is actually many different rectangular cuttings stacked on and by each other's sides.All these squares do make a circle after all.The magic Squares should be the concepts behind the concepts.
>>97241325All it takes is one horny gooner who wants to fuck a werewolf. Given how many "scientists" are just autistic I think there may be more than one of them. If we scale by Boeing Engineers and the furries in Nasa irl, surely there must be much more than one.
>>97241229this is literally Project Twilight
>>97241311I know, why even (un)live?
>>97241229>DNA researchA new genecic disease (GLS) has been discovered! Governments are urged to capture and quarantine all afflicted.
>>97241347>Anon reinvents Kinfolk
>>97241379>He thinks Kinfolk want to fuck the Woofs willinglyAnon, I...
>>97241388No one wants to fuck smelly werewolves willingly. Werewolves are half-decent cannon fodder after they've been collared and trained, nothing more.
>>97241347If they're furries then they're already in the Syndicate's grasp. They won't even have to go through Mind procedures, a vat-grow anthro will be the perfect solution
>>97241388>Black Fury kinfolk get strapped to the breeding pillary and gets free used by a Caern full of Amazonian wolf womenNO DON’T RIDE MY COCK DON’T RIDE MY-NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
>>97241221Hunter doesn't have the high level stuff we want for mortal mages. Deviant is a different flavor entirely IMO and its powers don't follow traditional "magic" conventions. I also wasn't a fan of second sight's magic as merits thing. Basically I started with HtV Witchfinders as the basis. Then I made Gnosis an actual 1-10 power stat following the standard rubric rather than a merit. Waived the Gnosis rec for certain mysteries, then backported some Paths from oWoD Sorcerer like Summoning and Binding. Then, because Mysteries can be a little too narrow, I worked out a devotion-like system for combo spells. PCs can come up with their own and in fact should, you want your magic to be customizable. Lastly, the big problem with Witch Finders is almost everything is an instant action, so witches ain't great in a pinch. My idea was that Sorcerers should be the kings of power flexibility, while still being mortal in many ways. I baked in metamagic-like stuff to the template, letting you spend extra source to modify the spell when you cast it, such as quicker casting, longer durations, more dice for overwhelming large resistance pools, etc. More oomph if you need it at the risk of burning out quick. Rituals are similar to VtR rituals but without a mandatory sacrifice, have over 5 dot rituals (prereq is Occult + Gnosis). Generally have longer lasting or further reaching effects for cheaper at the cost of slower cast time. Sorcs can cast rituals together and even benefit from non-sorcerer assistants if you wanna go cult leader. Made magical item creation rules including that for constructs. Since I'm also the VtM to VtR2e translation guy it's fairly easy to convert the not explictly vampire-y blood magic over. Was a fun game.
>>97241289Fucking MaraudersRules means restriction, restriction means stagnation in favour of tradition, stagnation results in calcification. But, rules can be taught, shared and understood.
>>97241433Anon I'm sure you would not want to be a werewolf tribe's meat dildo, considering they wouldn't even go on a date with you and probably let the Metis have you as a treat for not being rapists.
>>97241433Do you have any idea how badly they would stink, let alone how awful they would look? They're retarded rage monsters, they don't even know how to use makeup without sperging out, and we all know what women look like without makeup. No one sane would want to fuck them.
>>97241455>stagnation results in calcificationMommy says that's a good thing and momma don't tell no lie
>>97241418>Having a lab grown anthro when you could get a 500 lb 9 foot tall werewolf insteadSurely Syndicate-cels have better taste than human sized cat girls?>>97241411It depends if it's just fucking for breeding purposes or fucking for other purposes.
>>97241462>they wouldn't even go on a date with youAh, so no different than real life.
>>97241242>dark wizard/witch king wannabe typeOne of the better ways to play a Lasombra IMO. Completely avoids the feeling of being an edgier off-brand Ventrue and syncs up with the Sabbat better. I'm also partial to raiders/pirates and deranged religious types who somehow both believe in what they're doing while breaking nearly every tenet of their faith.
>>97241480Yeah, Syndicate has much better taste than smelly and retarded rage monsters responsible for everything wrong with the world.
>>97241229This presumes Lycanthropy is something you can track via genetics and not just some kind of heritage based murderfurball voodoo.
>>97241470>Trusting a SpiderCome on now, surely you can't be this gullible?>>97241494I like the smell though.>Responsible for everything wrong with the WorldNice try Wyrm-slave, I know what you are.
>>97241487It can't be that hard to get dates. Maybe hard with gym thots who are lesbian, but surely anons can land a few.
>>97241494extremely low test post
>>97241229>Did you know that the werewolf gene is real, actually?>Dude I hate modern academia, what the fuck is this bullshit
>>97241498Well, DNA successfully mapped out the werewolf genome and developed a virus that killed them so quickly and successfully that it destroyed entire septs before they were able to spread it to other septs.
>>97241480I like when my gf isn't a sub 80 IQ freak talking to EDEs. You reality deviants are so fucking ungrateful, who do you think keeps the Iterator's budget in check? Had it been up to them nature would be made a thing of the past, we'd all be cyborgs and you'd be a pile of ash. You know, I'm gonna hand this cat girl thing to my friends over at Special Projects, I know how much you love them. I'm sure the results are gonna be great
>>97241464I'd fuck a muscular girl. Even if she comes with anger issues and no makeup.

>>97241525Even one as retarded and smelly as a werewolf? It'd be like fucking someone with Downs.

>>97241547That's even hotter. Easier to manipulate emotionally. And you know if they're that retarded they love you for real.
>>97241546>Hermetic>Chad You lost to v*mpires and you're probably being used by a freak. I can sell you some cope pills if you want, all the rage amongst your junkie buddies
>>97241490So true. Ironically her sire is part of Montano's bloodline so they were old school Antitribu before 5th made over half of the Sabbat Lasombra join the Cam. Aino herself is working towards ousting the meager Cammie presence in Finland so she can do her spooky magics in peace
>>97241577Not really, werewolves are not psychologically capable of love. They're not and never have been human.
>>97241590>They're not and never have been human.this is the only factual thing you've said about Werewolf the whole thread
>>97241567>Calcify this knot in your pattern, SpidernerdAlready have, should have learned OneSong
>>97241596Stay salty and thin-skinned, WtAfag. Your tears sustain me.
>>97241590>>97241596>Need to fuck humans to breed more werewolves without psychological or physical effects>Born randomly from a chance of producing either humans with werewolf blood (kinfolk) or active werewolvesSure anons, maybe when Gaia made them originally they weren't human, but Werewolves in the modern sense are more human than werewolf. It's Shamanistic cope to pretend otherwise.
>>97241611Still not human, still retarded rage monsters, no matter how hard you cope and seethe.
>>97241589>before 5th made over half of the Sabbat Lasombra join the Cam.Is your group using V5 lore? If so my condolences.
>>97241602How ironic given that Werewolf OPs clearly trigger your meltys
>>97241624I'm not having a melty, I'm having the time of my life watching you woofers lose your fucking minds over such basic statements.
>>97241580We would have won if I was around back then. I don't need pills, I just need a fuzzy pillow and some wagie to dance for me or her zapped.
>>97241632>t. clearly pressed
>>97241621We're running V20's system but cribbing some of V5's lore since our setting is slightly homebrew, and that's only because its been used by our ST for various Chronicles for years.
>shitstirrer returned>on fucking christmas of all daysGet a life bro. I don't even like WtA but just fuck off.
>>97241647V5 has some decentish lore don't feel too bad over it. I just wish it didn't shit over the Sabbat.
>>97241470GRANDMOTHER says that, but Grandmother has been unwell for a very long time.Mother says that structure is for purpose and function, like Grandmother used to.You wouldn't be disobeying Mother now, would you?
>>97241655>V5 has some decentish lorewhy don't you take a seat and tell us what you like about it friend
>>97241655Oh I agree, some stuff is neat, others not so much. I still despise them merging Obtenebration with Necromancy and taking my cool and edgy shadow armor from me.
>>97241597I don't use computers, I bully spiders into helping me. I'm immune to your technological threats, unlike the other nerds.
>>97241647Can't criticize too hard because my table runs an extremely homebrew table. Vampire is mostly oWoD but little to none of the Revised Metaplot made it in, and with several dashes of Requiem thrown in to boot. Not really the primary stuff like covenants, but the peripherals like Larvae, Pseudovampires, that stuff. Also no Kuei-Jin. Not racist just don't like em.But I gotta admit, I've never seen a V5 plot beat I liked at all, let alone enough to use.
>>97241667What I like:>Tremere L>More Antediluvian presence>Thinblood stuff can be cool>Elders were gay and a bit too entrenched in the old setting>I like House Carna, even if it is a gay house>I don't dislike touchstones>I like Gangrelchuds leaving the Camarilla>I like Lasombra in the CamarillaWhat I don't like>Rudi and other signature characters>I don't like the calling>I don't like the Sabbat being sent to fuck off to the Middle East to go fuck with elders and Antes>I don't like excessive thinblood wank>I don't like the Banu Haqim>I don't like the "Ministry" not being gay for Set to the extreme anymore>I don't like the new Anarchs, they're just retarded>I don't like Tzimisce being a backseat clan>I hate discipline changesI'm indifferent to the Hecata. I think consolidating all three Necromancer groups like that was a bit dumb, but I don't fundamentally dislike it.
>>97241694>>97241667NTA but I like some of the stuff they did with the Coalition. I think Chronicles did the lodges better but I like that humanity actually got its shit together on at least a regional basis.Plus when you remember that WoD is a ridiculous sci-fi setting with vampires taped on as the only thing not part of it, it's nice to have people besides Pentex and Mages to throw at your players that are 'dudes with equipment/powers that shoudn't exist'. Shovelheads aren't scary, but Shovelhead Spetnsnaz might give your Coterie some pause.
>>97241694That's fair. It hasn't really affected our story too much, another Lasombra became Aino's bf and he was Sabbat. Asides from that Finland is pretty minor for vamps asides the Gangrel and Aino does her best to staybin their good books. She's not a big fan of Helsinki's prince but he's a Ventrue so that's a given
Looking for Reindeer Pooka pussy (Reindussy)
>>97241721I completely forgot the coalition and the SI and all that stuff while I was listing off too. Yeah I don't really like the whole vampires forced away from technological progress thing desu.
>>97241553If I were a true tzitrash (like I rolled last thread), I would just give myself Appearance 5 and cope about being a magiclet by fucking random hot girls.
Here's a comm I got from Nijik of Aino in her Black Metamorphosis/Aegis of Shadows
>>97241776A real based Tzigga would value and appreciate the hard work necessary to seduce the women. Anyway,>wasting Vicissitude on making yourself more appealing for hoesThat's not Tzimisce behavior. Tzimisce behavior is turning the hoes into pocket pussies against their will. It does make me curious though, there's nothing really stopping Vampires from learning hedge magic right? And I know Tzimisce have Koldunic sorcery too. You don't need to be a magiclet unless you want to be.
>>97241635>wagie to dance for meCan't have wagies without the consensus. Checkmate superstitionalist
>>97241744 Have AI gen it for you
>>97241800Time and finding a decent mentor I believe. Lasombra had Abyss Mysticism for their own magics outside of regular Obten.
>>97241662Take your subversive influence elsewhere. I have the gift of dogma to shield me from your lies.
>>97241783Very cool.>>97241820Interesting. I do figure you would still need a mentor I guess but Kindred are only beholden to the Tremere because they want to be and they need to use their edgy blood magic.
>>97241721>NTA but I like some of the stuff they did with the Coalition.I won't post my full anti-SI screed because it's Christmas, but they're actually my least favorite thing in V5. On its own, I would agree that humans should be genuine threats in a VtM game. Problem is I can't stand how they did it with the SI. They homogenized everyone, have crazy plot armor, fetishize the intelligence community (which is nowhere near that competent), and just make the vampires look retarded. I'm a vigilfah through and through, that game does threatening hunter groups right. SI is a tour de force in how to do them wrong.I would also disagree with "WoD is a ridiculous sci fi setting with vampires taped on" because I don't like most of oWoD outside of vampire so that doesn't apply to my table. I'm fine with reasonable hypertech like what TF:V has, the SI takes it into dumbass territory.
>>97241819DAMNED AUTUMN PEOPLE!!!!
>>97241832There's a few Blood Sorcery paths outside of the Tremere's but most of them are from Dark Ages, so using them in Modern Nights (Or other eras after DA) would need your Kindred to learn it from somewhere. Lasombra just have it easy in that regard.
>>97241868Don't let the Tremere know, they're contentious people.
Hello everyone and welcome back to my epic prank channel. I am your host, John Cappadocian Methuselah, and what I am holding here is the avatar of a mage. For today's epic prank, we'll be stitching it to a Malkavian.Please remember to share, like and subscribe, it really helps out the channel grow. If we hit the like goal on this video, it will further the production of the Tzimisce/Verbena oiled up shaman-off.
is the blush of life cheating?
>>97242060Nah, it's fine.
>>97242060it's GAY but it's not broken or overpowered or anything
>>97242060Blush of Life should enhance all life related senses so sex can be just as good as the Kiss.
>>97242028No Tzimisce worth his castle is going to do an "oil off">>97242224Even the best sex can't compare to shooting so much heroin your brain melts.
>>97242270>worth his castleWhat do you think he stands to lose if he doesn't shake it shake it.
For the combat people in world of darkness I have a question from lack of perspective. How much stamina do you need to survive in combat?For example, as a werewolf you can regenerate health level per round if you're lucky. Vampires can get extra soak with fortitude. Mages can buff with enough time or spheres. The other splats are niche enough they have a benefit as well.So how much soak you need in general to just survive most combats without getting flatten. I know offense seems to be better than defense.
>>97241721>NTA but I like some of the stuff they did with the Coalition.Bro, they're a generic blob of different spooks, literally anti-sovl. They took Project Twilight and downgraded it in terms of actually making sense.>Sure man, the CIA is going to work hand-in-hand with the FSB and maybe the vatican will suddenly share it's literal decades of secrets. We're gonna make sure they all look the same and we'll give them infinite resources, manpower and perfect intel
>>97242359Probably a question of killing before you get killed and ambushing, but likely around 3 I suppose? You probably don't want to take fights with a 1 stamina PC
>>97242359Ambush. Best to drop your opponent before they get to swing. Prep time is a literal superpower
>>97242338How does a Necromancer get a Tzimisce's castle?
>>97242060No. That's like asking if The Kiss is cheating or if bloodbuff is cheating.>>97242224>>97242270Sex is more than just physical pleasure though. It's why most people seek out romantic connection rather than just serially fuck for pleasure. Passionless sex feels good, but it's not the end all be all. Passionate sex with a real emotional bond behind it on the other hand is something else entirely; it's not surprising how sometimes it is likened to magic or the divine. Put another way, no physical sensation can quite be equal to or greater than true lovemaking. Which is why the low humanity Methuselah Helena was hopping on the same dick for over 4000 years without complaint. That and let's be honest, there was never a consistent line on vampire sex. Some writers said hard no, others made them sex pests as a rule, most flitted between. You can take whatever stance you want at your table. My take is that some vampires become extreme hedonists chasing more and more extreme sex to keep up with blood. Others don't engage at all. Some only if they truly fall for someone.
>>97242548>Some writers said hard no, others made them sex pests as a ruleSome clans have erection problems.It is know.
>>97242359>How much stamina do you need to survive in combat?That depends on how long do you need to survive and what you are going against. You can do some math to figure out how many dots you need by taking the avarage soak successes you need to not die.
Returned with another comm I had done of Aino doing some Abyss mysticism in her study
>>97242548>she rode the same Greek gigachad for well over 2000 yearsWell, you can say a lot of things, but I suppose a Toreador can be loyal. Too bad she's a psycho, though I know for some anons that doesn't detract from the appeal.
>>97242611Nice, appreciate your posts. Is it bad I have a feeling this person draws porn because of the assets and the way the tentacles are drawn?
>>97242611Artist name please?>>97240543For this one too, googling the name you gave only shows a pinterest profile, unless you mean you contacted the artist through it.
>>97242548I like to think of vampires having their physical functions be significantly more influenced by their mental state than a mortal. To a normal man you could, by pure physical touch, without him enjoying it at all, take him from erection to finish (to clarify this is rape and would leave him extrenely traumatised). While a vamp in the same situation wouldn't even pop a boner. I like to think of it becoming less a physical thing and more of an atmospheric/feeling thing. Someone who was prone to being loyal would only start enjoying sex with you after fully falling in love with you. Someone deeply sadistic would only enjoy sex if it's done in a way that hurts or humiliates their partner, and wouldn't enjoy it in a "normal" setting, even if the actual physical motions were identical. In this example, learning that their victim actually enjoys the process would be a boner killer. Does that make sense?
>>97242657>Lasombra waifu tries to dominate you by putting you in a cock cage or beating you up>Learns you actually enjoy this so they stopDoes this mean you can outfreak a vampire?
>>97242622>>97242628Thanks! They don't draw any porn that I know of. Sure! Artists are Lilpopli and Feaurie V, both of them have Twitter/X accounts and that's where I contacted them!
>>97242681>>Learns you actually enjoy this so they stop
>>97242681Yes. Personally I was thinking of a 6'4 Ventrue billionaire learning that his victim is into dark romance. But for your example, she could get back into it IF she started genuinely liking (You), specifically. And it would only be with (You).(You) can fix her.
These were just some variants from the FeaurieV comm before we settled on a main design.
>>97242697I gotta ask, and I mean no offense by asking this but... why have you had so many professional commissions done for the same character? Just got a lot of money or know a lot of artists who give you friend rates?
>>97240113>Has to make an AI image because the issue itself is so fake and manufactured
>>97242748These were all actually fairly inexpensive as far as art comms go. The most expensive by far was the whole reference sheet, the rest haven't gone above $100. As for how I afforded, I'd just browse for artists if I had time to kill and just set aside some money for a commission if I could. These were done over a while. As for why her, idk man I think she's neat.
>>97242657>Does that make sense?Yeah, I understand the logic. The flesh is dead, but they still have a mind, a will, and a soul, therefore the psychological aspect of sex fully takes the reins. I wouldn't go 100% into it, especially with blush of life involved, but I would lean a similar way like... 70%. I think the beast has enough animalistic impulse to allow for some unga primal stuff.
>>97242696>(You) can fix herI don't know man. Dark romance seems hard to fix.>>97242688You wouldn't if you learned they were into it? Imagine torturing some guy and they start cumming mid nipple clamp?
>>97242682>>97242761Based. Thank you for sharing anon.
>>97242696>Personally I was thinking of a 6'4 Ventrue billionaire learning that his victim is into dark romance.If I were a gigachad Ventrue I'd be disgusted by dark romance fans too. So I get it.

You never remembered much. You don’t remember how or why you were made. You don’t remember much of the lab. You don’t remember how you got out. Sometimes you remember a few things. Memories of a fine family and a white picket house. Memories of perfection, memories of the past, memories of the future… But they aren’t coherent. While you don’t remember things you do know that you aren’t human.Your skin is too plasticky, your vision is enhanced with cybernetic overlays, your heart doesn’t exactly beat but instead whirr, and overall you are too uncanny. Incredibly uncanny. To the point that humanity itself fears you, rejects you. The truth that you can’t fully understand is that you were a product. You were a creation. An android, a test tube baby. A creation made of steel and reborn flesh from dead matter. Where your heart would be is truly a technomagic furnace which burns azothic energies. Alchemically powered automatons of science you are now lost in a big city. Hoping to find the truth.Contact info/Discord Invite: @Shadsea is running it but to get in you need to fill out the form.

>>97240819He's a Changeling.
>>97242808good luck
>>97242761As I said, I meant no offense asking. Just curious because I can't say I've seen something similar before. I might be a bit too frugal honestly, I never quite feel like I can justify commissions for my PCs, want to save that money. Only one I really have is one a friend commissioned for three of our PCs from a VtM game, and it was a pricy commission. Almost felt bad about it. Have gotten a few drawthread requests filled but none recently.It's near art, always happy to see people talk about their games, just something I hadn't seen before.
