None of the groups I've played with have never called the coterie anything. Besides, isn't that more of a Sabbat pack's gimmick?

Sometimes it just happens but more on Werewolf and Mage from my experience.

My latest cabal was called Silver Dawn after a few sessions when our characters decided to themetically work closer and have it help with rituals. We had a Verbena that specialized in Lunar magic, an Etherite whose focus was on something he called "Purified Etheric Silver Amalgamation" or just "Pure Silver" that was basically Premium and I, the Chorister who specialized in war magic, blessing and smiting our foes.

I get the feeling that not only are a lot of people in this general nogames, but there is a shocking amount of noreading too. People seem to be ignorant about the fundamental mechanics of games whose lore they gush about, as in, core book stuff, basic character creation stuff. Why is this?

I think there's a bit of a disconnect between how the games present themselves as narrative focussed, character driven games and the sheer amount of crunch that is often counter-intuitive to the stories the game wants to let you play out. I love the idea of playing a lot of these games but I'd rather smack myself over the head with a mallet than actively try to run the games that the rules tell me to do.

>>97531667
But the rules and the lore are so strongly connected that you are crippling your understanding of the setting if you exclusively read the lore without reading the rules.

You won't understand half of the shit that werewolves are capable of if you don't read about their Gifts and rites, you likely won't understand how magic in Mage works if you've never gone through the process of generating a character and you probably won't have a handle on how the power scaling of generations works in Vampire without a proper understanding of the rules.

If you bounce off of the crunch, then you're not going to actually understand the setting and you're mostly just coasting along based off of vibes. If you're going to be a nogames participating in discussions about a thing, the least you could do is research the material properly.

Is a defunct theater not good enough for you? An opera house could be cool, maybe a library after dark, I feel like there are a lot of options even if they aren't necessarily the most sensible.

>>97532060
First of all, I appreciate your assumptions.

It's a Chronicles game, so out of the gate the Conditions system is a pain in the arse to work alongside. I'm sure it felt elegant as a roleplay aid when it was conceived, you get XP for roleplaying your characters struggles but from experience over the years of running CofD games. I've not met anyone who enjoyed using it and most just doled out milestone-based XP instead. Requiem in particular has two separate Conditions it wants you to use for the Majesty discipline, that boil down to "you love them so much" and "wow you really really love them". I trust my players enough that they can intuit how to respond when Dread Powers are used based on how they're described and the form they take, and so far I've not been let down.

The books across the gamelines and editions having awful formatting is also a major concern. In any game outside of WoD or CofD, it's generally a virtue to say "Let's not get mired down looking for X rule right now, keep the game going and we can look up the specific ruling later". In any - Darkness game, that is a necessity because half the rules aren't where you would expect them to be. For Conditions again, many of them are a one-reference thing. There's often only one intended way that you can get X Condition or Tilt, yet they're at opposite ends of the book. To keep a scene going and maintain the drama, I would always advocate that you roll with the momentum and improvise a mechanical means of implementing something rather than "There's a rule for this. Somewhere."

Your mileage may vary on this. Some people can memorise an entire rulebook, I can't, but I've not had any complaints from my players about it.

But it's a valid point to make when /wodg/ is home to people who confess that they don't play these games, and that they refuse to read the rules even though those rules serve as a foundation for a lot of the setting's lore.

It's always wise to keep that in mind and remember that absolutely nothing said here should ever be taken seriously, as it might come from people have an improper understanding of the setting because not only have they never played a game based in it, but they have never really read the rules that govern the setting. They're here purely for the Bloodlines and HtP vibes.

If you really were a fan of WoD and had read the so-called rules you're sucking up so much, you would now that WoD is a STORYteller game and the books tell you explicit to don't use the mechanics if they get in the way of your story or modify them however you want.

thank you guys! i personally always find elysia to be hard to make up so i didn't expect so many good options

Is /x/ worth a visit for inspiration?

>>97532483
Yes, it's a Storyteller game that uses the Storyteller system of rules, a system that is built on connecting the setting and the rules in a symbiotic fashion, which reinforces the fact that anyone who neglects to read the rules will fail to acquire a full understanding of the setting. No one should trust what someone says about a topic, if that person confesses that they do not have a full grasp of that topic.

>>97532494
Yeah, but there's a mixture of story telling, conspiracy theories, occultism, and genuine schizophrenia there that might make it hard to identify anything with value.

Played in a group of garou knight/crusaders. We named ourselves the Order of the Threefold Moon

Never had a coterie with a name, that just sounds gay.

Had a group of Mages calling ourselves long ridiculous names like the Grand Principles of the Unveritible Accosciation of the Majestic Brotherhood. Each time it we said it was different because the original name was complicated & we kept messing it up & the joke was too funny to not just devolve into us stringing pompous words together every time instead.

>Your mileage may vary on this. Some people can memorise an entire rulebook, I can't, but I've not had any complaints from my players about it.

While I agree with you that the conditions and formating are clunky, you can solve that with page marker or screen shot.

New bait dropped?

>>97532766
I believe that was the idea. Something to hand a player so they can know what is practically happening to their character without having to parse the full power.

Unfortunately in an online game, which has become the majority of games, it becomes more cumbersome. I also think the 5-10 extra pages from including the condition effect in the power wouldn't have hurt the book's formatting.

>>97533105
Conditions can be cumbersome, but imo tilts, save perhaps environmental tilts that rarely get used, don't bother me. In fact, I actually like the various tilts you can inflict via called shots, adds some fun depth to combat. My current character is all about inflicting arm and leg wracks. It's very fun to mess up people's limbs, especially their weapon arms. Had a fight where my Ogre went through like eight thugs without killing a single one, because I had arm wracked every single one on their good arm, causing them to drop it, and take like 5-6 lethal each. They decided it was better to just hobble away at that point.

there are actually none of those losers who are in golconda. for the all the lore connecting them to golconda with saulot being the alleged first one to get to the state and all the only one known of the clan who was ever in it was saulot himself who as we know fell out of it before even rejoining his clan in the west so i assume he gave them false lore or something

the vamps who are without a doubt no rumors, no nothing, stated to be in golconda are:
>Guillaume 5th gen Brujah
>Angiwar 5th gen Nosferatu
>Valerianus 5th gen ventrue

>Aziz 11th gen malkavian

>>97532961
> not much to say i am the guy who first answered with the Blessings of the Great Dark Mother and spirit manipulation stuff and this seems about right
Yeah, I went through a lot of different Paths but for someone who wants to be a demon hunter, Spirit Manipulation and Blessings of the GDM are pretty much mandatory. What really ended up cementing it in my mind is how Blood Sacrifice(I think) talks about using Spirit Manipulation to establish Covenants to get new Paths, and that just makes it feel like a proper Primary Path.
> one thing to be careful about depending on which demons you face obfuscate might not work that well. elohim demons all get a roll against it as if they have maxed out auspex and banes can see you while they are in the umbra but not while they are in physical bodies
The keyword here is “aspiring”, trying to actually mess with a demon of really any kind with this spread would be suicide. The Obfuscate and Quietus are just for other nightfolk and such. Just generally useful to have, although the Sorcerer caste weakness kinda makes them having Obfuscate as a clan discipline a bit laughable

Imagine a Fujoshi Mage who's abusing the fuck out of her mind sphere to just force guys to kiss for no reason and starting scandals in your town or city? That'd be an interesting hunting target. She just imagines herself to be in a gay VN/eroge game and might threaten the players. It doesn't help that she's a Marauder and rapidly escalating the yaoi to Boku no Pico levels and beyond.

I try not to steal anything outright, as tempting as it often is. I like to take inspiration, and there's nothing wrong with that at all, storytelling is iterative. When running a Weird War 2 hunter game, I took a ton of inspiration from Hellboy, Indiana Jones, The Mummy, and a whole host of other pulp stories.

That being said, I was talking about Deadlock with some friends the other night and I really wanna run Picrel as the leader of a Gladius Dei lance.

Off the cuff naming is hell, can relate. The inverse is when you keep defaulting to the same three names when you suddenly need to name a character. I played in one game where the ST kept forgetting the Gangrel Primogen's name and so did we. We eventually settled on Claude because he had a lot of cat-like features. . I'm curious, who were the characters you reused names for?

As for Deadlock, it has very few misses for a modern hero shooter/MOBA god I wish I liked mobas in terms of the character design. It's an althist no masquerade setting though, so limited application. But one of my pals pointed out how much Venator reminded him of the Gladius Dei lance I had help them back in the aforementioned hunter game.

>As suggested above under the Optional Rule: Minimum Abilities, a mage who uses martial arts as the practice and/ or instrument of her magickal focus should have at least one dot in Martial Arts for every dot she has in the highest Sphere she uses for martial arts-based Effects. Otherwise, the Effect-Ranks she can focus through her martial arts are limited to the dots she has in this Ability; a mage with Martial Arts 1, therefore, could not focus Rank 2-5 Effects through her martial arts. As noted earlier, Chapter Ten contains details about focus, Sphere Ranks, and Effects.

>Do is a highly disciplined state of being. Diet, philosophy, meditation, internal and external reflection, and a refined sense of one's place in the cosmos all characterize the study of Do; a character who does not pursue each element of that study cannot master the art’s benefits. TheStoryteller should make sure thata practitioner of Do acts accordingly. If the character behaves with selfish excess, he loses his ability to access Do.

>A beginning Akashic character may put no more than two dots into Do; all other dots must be earned through in-game experience. (The Storyteller can waive this rule for a “masters-level” chronicle.)

>In order to purchase dots in the Do Talent, a character must also have at least two dots of an appropriate "limb" Ability for each dot in Do.

After reading History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi on /a/, I was inspired to make a martial artist and do all sort of crazy stuff like the masters. I remembered that Mage has a tradition focused on martial arts… but now that I’m reading it feels like a scam. Like you have to buy two dots of another ability to be allowed to raise Do by one. Plus being limited to 2 at chargen is bad imo (from someone who hasn’t played M20), when your arete is already limited at 3. This means that you’ll have to rely on another martial arts that you spent points to raise at three if you want to use your third level of any sphere.

What are some good excuses for a Neonate to be in Torpor for 10 or 20 years?

From what I read of Exalted low-level exalted is more like early Wuxia than extremely high concept. Like yeah, it's still Wuxia. But it isn't slaying the demon king of the forgotten realm resurrected by your archrival who's also the brother of the girl you raped in the edgelord sect for her master looking at you funny type of Wuxia.

>Got buried under some rubble and it took years to be found.
>Fell into hunger torpor and was only found recently

>>97535572
>Suicide Squad/Hunter Asset (willing or unwilling)
>Shit Sire
>Bad Luck like stuck in a ditch until dug out
>Staked through the Heart and you're to blame
>Wizardry
>Some clan curse that got sent out of proportion
I think there's a lot of potential but I like the Case of the Stolen Casket and Being the Reverend's Good Boy (or he kills you)

>>97535573
Do many people play Exalted, or the other splats you mentioned?

>>97535573
Besides those options you have Demon Hunter X and the Half Kuei Jin. I think the first option is closer to what you are looking for but take a read first.

>>97535567
I'd say take the foot off the gas with the RP threads for a while. Schrecknet has somehow stabilized it seems, even though every time I check it seems like the same 5-ish people doing most of the posting. But even other popular lines like Hunter and Werewolf haven't had the steam to go the distance.

Maybe wait until summer. Moods are often pretty low in winter, so maybe it's a lack of energy more than anything else.

My bad, I should have clarified I was just not that anon. I was responding to a guy who said Exalted was too high concept. It certainly ends up being like that though I feel like you can certainly make it much more of a street-level experience. Even as a form of a god there's plenty to do. Imagining yourself as an incarnation of a Hindu god is a decent enough foundation for an Akashic anyway.

>>97535616
I don't disagree I wasn't really engaging in the Technocracy or Pentex threads but I feel like the Hunter thread was pretty successful, about a full thread and 3/4ths of one over two weeks for a mostly CofD RP that some anons skipped over not being familiar was alright. The Werewolf one was pretty great though, even as a shitpost for the first thread, it was hitting better numbers than Schrecknet until the 2nd or 3rd thread and then lived on a bit after that.

I'm more of the opinion we should probably try to do these more bi-monthly or monthly over a splat vote and have more popular ones get out of rotation for a while. Admittedly, this is my autism flaring up. I do have to admire the Schrecknet anons for being dedicated and/or autistic enough to keep up their server for multiple months even if it is a bit of a circle jerk

>>97535567
I would like a full blown Chronicle with vampire characters instead of the typical un-connected stuff in the current threads.

A 4chan chronicle would be fun.

>>97535699
>every /wodg/ anon gets embraced

>>97535699
iirc there's a Changeling and a Hunter(?) quest up in /qst/ and while that would be based I feel like jannies are more than a bit cucked on here. Nice digits though

>>97535716
Separating quest from tg was a mistake to begin with. Not because quest threads were common, but you'd occasionally get absolute gold between slop.
4chan has way too many boards, they need to cut the current number in half at LEAST.

>>97535804

>>97535804
The Department of 4chan Efficiency should bring back Quest to /tg/

Shoo! Shoo! Get out of here you crazy Malkaivian!

Bros... I just realized that outside of the ultra-niche fetishes, there isn't anything truly unique that I can give to an antagonist which isn't already in the books. There's already enough rape, cucking and emotional abuse in these books without going into feet collector Toreador moment.

>>97535933

I see you are a man of culture as well.

>>97535678
>for a mostly CofD RP that some anons skipped over not being familiar was alright
Man, I even told people they could oWoD crosspost. My Vigil games mix and match the two anyway.

Anyway, I'd definitely lean towards bi-monthly of those two options. I think it needs some time to rest. Multi-splat ones do seem like the right idea for the smaller lines, provided it doesn't beggar belief, although I'm unsurprised the "wyrmfags only" thread didn't do so hot.

>>97535804
>Separating quest from tg was a mistake to begin with.
I'll have to disagree with you here. I was there when Quests were getting out of hand, they were choking the life out of the board and the overwhelming majority were low-quality waifu-bait. /tg/'s slow decline isn't the result of exiling quests, it's a symptom of 4chan's overall decline.

>>97535933
There is nothing new under the sun, just try to make something neat.

>>97535939
Thank you, I just fear that some of these might get too gonzo to be fun.
>>97535943
I'll keep that in mind.

Time Travel Incest?

>>97535959
hah, fuck, i just got that

>>97535941
I liked the Wyrmfag thread though, it died as it lived. Disorganized, in the background, with characters who are disagree with each other over random shit and can't agree on a proper time or reason for why they're bringing about the apocalypse.

Yeah though, I do recall the Hunter RP having some oWoD posting but I recall some opinions here that they were just a bit wary of joining without having anything to really say. I kind of respect that reasoning, Hunter as an RP certainly feels a bit more open in terms of your character history and personality.

>>97535983
like i didn't make the connection that he was black at all, i've been seeing that posted for years.

>>97535949
>>97535954
This is what I mean though, you just described Black Furies domming their partner like that. It's a situation somewhat already in the books and kind of vanilla otherwise.
>>97535959
Wonderwoman would use safe words, she's just like that.
>>97535969
I like this idea but Time Travel is basically a Paradox magnet isn't it? And I can't imagine who else can get away with doing it

>>97535997
Its like, "Bitch, what you say? You want me to wear a collar and go pick cotton or some shit?"

Its simple, you are knowingly raped by your future self, you swear revenge, you build a time machine, you change sexes, you go back in time and accidently rape yourself, conceiving yourself in an immaculate conception and creating a closed loop. Paradox solved!

>>97536027
>knowingly
*unknowingly

>>97536027
>selfcest unknowing rape
Holy based, I kneel. The idea of a guy trapped in his own cycle of guilt via accidental rape is kind of kino though I had meant paradox in the mage kind

>>97536036
and hes a mage.

>>97536027
Wait, but who started the rape loop? What caused it to begin with? Even as a closed loop this is still a bootstrap paradox

>>97536046
time is deterministic.
there is no original timeline, its all part of the same timeline, at no point was there ever a timeline in which he hadn't yet raped himself.

Sorry for the late reply. I went to sleep then I had no internet for the day… which will repeat again soon.

Paradigm:
>A World of Gods and Monsters (believes that his power comes from the Wyrm)
I’m picking this one. Ferectoi are amongst the top of the elites of the Wyrm servants. If the Wyrm is the king, they are the princes. Not only is he a Ferectoi, but unlike his compatriots with only Fomori powers he has awakened. The greatest power that be has been bestowed upon him and he intends to make use of it. Perhaps it’s the smallest fraction of a human soul in him, but being blessed like this makes him want to be the sole perpetrator of the apocalypse. It has to happen because of his doing.

Practice:
>Maleficia (wields his power through deliberate acts of evil)
>Shamanism (wields his power through communion with spirits)
I’m hesitating between the two. I tend towards Shamanism because as a Ferectoi he’s (part) wyrmish spirit in human form. He has authority over other banes (and I intend to make him a spirit magnet)… but also everything he does is evil. Though I guess not obvious evil… to sleepers really. To an ordinary mortal he’d act kind and affectionate, but meanwhile he’s hiding a shit eating grin because he just bound a bane to an innocent person. Garous, Gaia Spirits and anyone who finds out he’s a nephandi he won’t go subtle with them.

Instruments:
They all sounds good desu. Can I also use spirits as an instrument? Like I believe that my magic is channeled through them, so I need to “befriend” them, and perhaps even do services for them afterwards when I need to cast spells?

>>97536054
Our actions do not determine the outcome of a timeline, the timeline is predetermined. Everything that is going to happen is predestined to happen and our decisions don't matter in the slightest. What we perceive as agency or probability is an illusion, It frees us of all accountability for our own actions because our decisions had been predetermined by material circumstances, neurons firing in a predetermined pattern to arrive at a foregone conclusion we call a 'decision'. We can not attribute fault to a self because there is no self, what we think of as consciousness is just an object in motion obeying the laws of physics.

>>97536073
at least, thats the premise of the story, which causes existential horror.

>>97536073
This is Fatalism by another name anon. Though I also do not disagree, free will is not something most people actually possess.

>>97536125
yes, but the story makes it clear that this is objective reality and not just a subjective interpretation.

It makes you consider what is the objective truth about the nature of time and mortality/

I’ve reread the clanbook a couple times to try and figure it out, and I’m probably just missing something obvious, but what exactly is the view on Diablerie within the Banu Haqim? For the Path of Blood followers I can connect the dots, but what about the Schismatics?
