Demons also get Pun Magic. One day I will write a character whose sole purpose is to irritate the rest of the party by making terrible puns a part of reality.

The only thing I want to know with that is if you can do it your own puns or if it has to be someone else's?

Same reason I'm convinced that in a year or two I can flip a QE Mage20 for twice initial cost. White Wolf fans can be loving insane. I should know. Actually, I still have to pay out the nose sometime to buy those German-only supplements. They actually sound fairly interesting: Aachen by Night (cheap PDF available, yay) for VtDA, Frankfurt by Night (can't get a PDF), Vienna by Night (PDF available, and I've actually translated the first ~30 pages using google translate. Very rough and almost certainly losing some of the nuance, but sufficient for my purposes) and Trolls, Dreams and Deep Woods. It'll be really interesting to see that last one since it actually looks at German folklore and fairy myths in the Changeling framework and apparently deviated a great deal from the American version.

Out of curiosity, did anyone in this thread submit material and hear anything back? No, it wasn't done for the open call. Each developer has access to the submissions for the open call; when we've got a book that we think someone who submitted would be good for, we'll reach out to them. We can't give a flat "no" to any submission — what is wrong for one line/developer might be great for another. I know I've got three or four writers from the open call that I'm going to use for the next Apocalypse book, but haven't got in touch with them yet since the book is barely more than a pitch and a title at this point.

That was good timing. A player in the B&S game I'm in just statted up a Khaibit this session after his Architect bought it.

The bloodline writeup is disappointing not because the Devotions aren't cool (they are) (it's weird that a single Devotion lets you see into all forms of Twilight when the GMC corebook sets Twilight up as a "dozen ships passing in the night" potentially-infinite series of different wavelengths as opposed to a single universal insubstantiality state) but because the Devotions are necessarily cool because Obtenebration is no longer an actual Discipline because it remains true that joining a Bloodline that doesn't just straight-up give you a fourth in-clan Discipline is for chumps and losers. If I was, in specific, a Khaibit fan I'd be very glad that becoming a Khaibit basically meant getting Vigor for free, since otherwise it would be dumb compared to becoming a Bruja or whatever. But we've still got a situation where not joining a bloodline is just dumb.

The Khaibit background is cool, Obtenebration is cool, and hey, now let's give you some Devotions also. It just gets better.

Smoking Crow posted:Why the gently caress is Music From the Succubus Club selling for upwards of $60 online? Actually online, or Amazon pricing algorithm-online? Game prices tend to be a crapshoot because RPG collectors are tightwads and vendor fortunes have dropped so fast over the last decade that there's lots and lots of unused stock, though that doesn't apply to these direct sales only books. V20 recently sold on Ebay for $300 so there's that.

Music From the Succubus Club is also a 14 year old label comp with RPG branding. There weren't that many copies made originally, and it hasn't been available new for over a decade.

I sold my RPG collection last year and had a mini-heart attack because someone priced Mirrors for a couple grand and I had been using it to split buds on. Tried to sell it for fifty bucks but no one bought it.

Try getting the $70 you used to be able to get for Shadow Player's Guide, for example.

Most of the RPG books that are listed for $27,392.76 are actually available for much less, or from the original publisher, or POD from somewhere. I think the most legitimately expensive RPG book I've seen was Costikyan's Price of Freedom at over $600.

Even before this you had deep discounters who would buy used games and after-90 day stock by *weight* for resale. I know they were hated for their downward pressure on pricing back in the middle of the last decade. I wonder if any of those guys are still around.

It was surprising that there wasn't more "My stack of Laws of the Night books from a decade and a half are being invalidated by the By Night Studios book!" crying. I guess that's just how loving good the BNS book is.

What's really frustrating is the handful of assholes that saw one copy of the Players Guide to High Clans or Dark Ages Fae go for a hundred bucks six years ago so that's what it costs now.

It was also pretty bad. Even around 2000, when I was in high school and pretty crazy about WoD, I thought it was cringe worthy. It's mostly synthy, early to mid 90's goth music. Before DTRPG started releasing POD Mind's Eye Theater books, the Sabbat book would go for around $100 on eBay and Amazon. Now you can get it for $15 from DTRPG and it probably has substantially better print quality and binding. MET books would generally fall apart after a year or two of solid regular use too, even with the best treatment.

So hopefully this is the right place to ask this, but I'm trying to get my head around some of the WoD settings and keep coming up blanks on some of them. Can anyone give me a brief outline, or point me in the right direction, as to who/what the basis and conflict is for each setting? Feel free to just clip me upside the head instead though. From what I gather so far: Werewolf: Protecting against ecological destruction and the influence of Wyrm-tainted creatures. Vampire: Kept a secret from humanity with the Masquerade, but no idea who/what the conflict is? Presumably you can easily slot human Hunters in, but what else? Mummy: ? Changeling: ? Demon: ? Geist: ??? Hunter: Pretty sure it's obvious to me - humans hunting the monsters. Mage: ???? Promethean: ? Wraith: ?
