Zikan posted:much like the free council Second edition Free Councillors are actually pretty good. Mostly because they would be more interested in the people on the left, not the first edition Free Councillor dude on the right. The guy with the dotted vest and sandals thinks this Best Buy missionary is hilarious. This is the funniest thing he's heard all year.

First edition Free Council is my problematic fave, it's all just so deeply weird and out of place. I like how their order book had the explicit design goal of being player-friendly and consciously unlike the template of all the other order books, except those other books were all really useful and well-designed.

The problem with this is that the other Order books were really good, player-friendly and well-written. And the Free Council one sucked and never took more than the most surface, cursory read of them.

In a way it does fit that the Free Council's the odd book out from the ones about the Diamond Orders.

Yeah, in principle I like the approach they took, but now I'm running a game where the Assembly is front and center and I'm finding a lot less useful material in the FC book than say, Sanctum and Sigil had about Consilium. I wish the section on Lorehouses had the same depth as Mysterium has about statting up Athenaea. The urban greenhouses where they grow vegetable-grimoires are cool though.

Kellsterik posted:Hoping against hope that Loomer has never seen this page before now Sorry to disappoint, but it was in large part dissatisfaction with that site that lead me to my current madness. As for the site, it's a good starting point but my figures were (at the last full count, for the years 1991 - 2002) significantly higher. That site has 2615 vampires, all unique. My numbers at present include duplicates and unnamed vampires, but even if we're harsh and say that only 1/3rd of the entries are unique and named (from recollection, it's closer to 3/5ths or 2/3rds), they should include 4300 unique vampires. There's another 21,678 entries for the other lines, and all combined there's a total of 35343 entries, with an additional timeline that has some 4,700 entries over 128 pages.

From the White Wolf Facebook page: LUCKYDAY AND WHITE WOLF, CREATORS OF VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE, COLLABORATE TO PRODUCE THE ULTIMATE WORLD OF DARKNESS FEATURE-LENGTH DOCUMENTARY SERIES Production has Already Started in Stockholm STOCKHOLM - June 30, 2016 - Luckyday and White Wolf today announced the production of a 2-part documentary series on the history and evolution of one of the most prolific and genre defining Role-Playing franchises in history – The World of Darkness. The documentary features in-depth interviews and exclusive footage from the early White Wolf founders, creators and artists, as well as fans and notable stars who helped shape the fabric of the genre. The documentary series will give the audience an in-depth, behind the scenes and uncompromising look into how the World of Darkness and Vampire: The Masquerade created a phenomenon in the middle of the 1990's -- a zeitgeist that helped shape and define film, literature, fashion, club culture, and ultimately fans, whose lives it forever altered. "The tumultuous history of the World of Darkness, Vampire: The Masquerade, & White Wolf is something akin to a rock n' roll soap opera mashed together with a Shakespearean tragedy. It's more than just a story about a game or a company, but also the fans and how this thing helped shape and affect their lives. This is really their story and we believe that needs to be told," said White Wolf CEO Tobias Sjogren. "This is where the real story gets told: nothing is sacred, no one gets a pass, and all skeletons come out of the closet," said Luckyday CEO Henrik Johansson. Exclusive interviews will include, among others, White Wolf founders Mark Rein-Hagen & Stewart Wieck, as well as Vampire: The Masquerade developers and artists such as Justin Achilli, Andrew Greenburg, and Tim Bradstreet. Also featured will be exclusive interviews from a multitude of talent, fans and fan clubs, all of whom helped evolve the franchise into a worldwide phenomenon that continues to this day. The movie will be written and produced by Kevin Lee from Luckyday in Sweden and directed by English director Giles Alderson. About Luckyday Luckyday is a Creative Film Producer based in Stockholm, Malmö and London.

My friends and I were talking about that earlier, and it seems like they're only focusing on Masquerade and Masquerade writers. Seems kind of dismissive for something that's supposed to cover the entirety of White Wolf's development and lifecycle.

I've accepted that they've shafted nWoD, but it's kind of worrisome that nothing else in the oWoD is getting any attention. On second thought, forgetting about Wraith is a good tradeoff for burying Apocalypse, Ascension, Dreaming, etc. so I'm okay with this

I'm not sure 'shafted' is the word to go with, from what we've seen from them I don't actually want Paradox to pay more than cursory attention to nWoD.

Werewolf 1st ed was written by Bridges before he mellowed out a bit, so it's even more TECHNOLOGY BAD! SCIENCE BAD! MEDICINE BAD! ABORIGINAL CULTURES GOOD! than Mage ever was. It got better in revised but short of a complete retcon Skemp could never get rid of the racist stereotype tribes. It's still my favorite game mostly because I do my best to ignore any book printed before 1999.

Apocalypse is full-bore, balls-deep into a lot of Magical Native racism and a lot of deeply uncomfortable stereotyping, but that's par for the course for oWoD. It is also aggressively anti-technology, anti-science and so on, but that's kind of baked into the setting conceit. (As is the fact that werewolves are violent, territorial authoritarians.)

Well, except for the pro-technology, pro-science werewolves, but it wouldn't be the oWoD if it didn't have a case of violently dissociative identity. (It doesn't really help that in a lot of places it's hard to tell where the Garou are being written as violent, territorial authoritarians because it creates drama for them to be self-defeating and controlled by their Rage, and where they're being written as violent, territorial authoritarians because the author would be perfectly down with destroying all baby formula by force.)

There's also a fairly strong undercurrent of "the only way we get anything done is when we put aside our violent authoritarian streak and work together." As evidenced by King Albrecht and what Koinetzko does once he's put in power.
