Loomer: Dec 19, 2007; A Very Special Hell

It does seem promising, though with half of Paradox's playerbase being blood-crazed sociopaths dedicated to weird nationalisms and political ideologies, it could also be something totally different and still fit.

Paradox is really moving quick- here's the website for a Convention of Thorns LARP they're running in Poland at the end of the year. Looks fairly spiffy.

They're going to license the Skyrim/Fo4 engine to do Bloodlines 2, electric boogaloo, creating a vortex of bugs unlike anything ever seen before.

He (and then the official Obsidian account) said 'it's not [Fallout]. Something else cool, though!" I don't know how many projects they work on, but a major project in an area of the US with a cool cultural background (with occulty bits), and a project with Paradox? Sounds like they could be related.

And let's face it, the only city in the US people associate more with the occult than New Orleans is Salem.

1) Reduce everything to spell aspects/factors: damage, duration, etc. You have to lock down exploits that would throw things askew.
2) Particular Spheres apply object classes that interact with other things in particular ways. Spirit means you get to affect Umbrood/spirits, for instance.
3) Fill in the edge cases with rotes.
4) Paradigm determines what funky animations you get.

You're not going to get the full Storyteller moderated experience, but you can get a lot of mileage.

Yes.

Sorry - yes, there's been news. That news is "no."

CofD second editions don't get kickstarters, only brand new games.

Rigorously keyword in-game objects and characters and cross reference those keywords with sphere/Arcanum ranks. Also certain ranks would just give you access to a library of effects you could pretty much put down wherever, like explosions or portals. Yeah, you probably wouldn't be able to just decide to use Matter to dig three miles underground and ignore the rest of the game world, but you can't do that in most games that give you a drill or shovel or whatnot.

Paradox and Obsidian are announcing their new game or whatever at "5pm" but no word on timezone. Fingers crossed for like a Bloodlines sequel or something.

I wouldn't mind a modern bloodlines successor with some of the early 00's XTREME junk excised from it.

keep the bitch shirt though that thing owns and I want one

# ? Mar 15, 2016 19:35

Alien Rope Burn: Dec 5, 2004; _{I wanna be a saikyo HERO!}

But if you excise the '90s 'tude from oh-wahd, I'm not sure what would remain. Vampire: the Non-disclosure Agreement wouldn't have quite the same ring to it.

less the standard owod 90s-ness and more the "XTREME 4 ADULTS" 00s video game aesthetic

though tbh there might be some overlap there

An Obsidian Hunter game is like one of my absolute dreams and I would be very excited for this.

I would also accept Bloodlines 2. Bloodlines is like the only time Vampire ever managed to seem cool.

Well we will see how it goes, the early 2000's Bloodlines is still a fantastic game now and that was, sort of, set in the 90's.

But yeah hoping for a Hunter game at least a bit. Want to play as a Loyalist and just talk and know my way into things.

Well that was almost physically painful to watch.

No it isn't a WoD RPG, in fact all we really know is that it is an RPG, and you're playing in the Bad End of someone else's story where the Villains won, and you were probably one of the Villains.
