And here I thought a werewolf cookbook would resemble Ordinary Swedish Meal Time more than anything else. Rage Across The Kitchen.

I actually made the Glass Walker recipe a while back. It was okay, but a little too bland for me. Though I left out the mushrooms because I think mushrooms are gross.

Kavak posted:Did Mortal Remains give Hunters Breaking Points? Its treatment of Integrity is very short and basically tells you to replace Morality with Integrity, you probably shouldn't give hunters a pass on violent breaking points when the victim is a monster, and the optional The Code rules should still work fine. Speaking of character psychology in game abstractions, it's an intriguing little oddity that, of the 2e major templates known thus far, it's mages and demons of all things that share the human Anchors of Virtue and Vice. (Though, speaking frankly, I think differing Anchors have been fairly overused to no real addition for most of the others; once 2e freed them up from specific 7x7 lists, Virtue and Vice weren't broken and didn't need to be fixed.) But yes: the Awakened have experienced a recontextualizing epiphany about reality and their place in the world, and the stability of their soul is now holding back the force of supernal power. They're not just everyday janes who happen to be able to conjure fireballs; they're people a little out of joint.

They're not just everyday janes who happen to be able to conjure fireballs; they're people a little out of joint. Although interestingly the game recommends that you change your Virtue and Vice every time you gain a dot in Gnosis, as the experience is so fundamentally worldview shattering that you can't help but come out of it as a completely changed person. Mages are still recognisably human, for sure, but they're a hell of a long way from normal.

Demon Virtues and Vices aren't as likely to change, but they're also pretty alien at times and can reflect strange or even inhuman moralities.

Probably the most interesting combination I can remember from the Demon game I'm in is Virtue: Curious, Vice: Mercy on a former hunter-killer.

I suspect Demons having Virtue and Vice is a product of that book's weird transitional status. It doesn't seem like a conscious decision so much as they just hadn't thought to give different lines their own Anchors yet. I do really like this version of those Anchors, though. Maybe flipping them so the Virtue is a traditionally bad trait and the Vice is a traditionally good one is kind of obvious, but I still really enjoy my current demon with Virtue: Ruthless and Vice: Helpful.

Wait. There is a White Wolf cookbook. And they're making another. No. No no no. Why would anyone do this. How do you get from one of these to the other. Who thought of making a list of werewolf recipes and how are they not medicated?!?!?????

I'm not sure if I'm more annoyed by the general lazy stereotypes that are many of the Werewolf tribes, or their inability to even get those right, and then I realize I probably have better things to do with myself than wasting brainpower on that.

If we're gonna play that game, I'm pretty sure "God is a literal machine and angels are made of glass and bone marrow, I know because I slept on a couch and accidentally broke time" is several steps higher than "food that werewolves might eat" on the What The gently caress Were You Smoking Scale. Honestly, incidental fluff like that can be really interesting. I'm a sucker for worldbuilding, and if I happen to get a decent apple pie recipe out of it that's just gravy. e: assuming they don't, you know, gently caress it all up

Somebody was going on a prolonged tanty at Rich Thomas on the OPP forums yesterday about cookbooks and music suites and other "wastes of money," I recall. It pretty much ended with Rich saying "let me know when you run your own successful game company, and I'll make an appointment for you to drive down here and tell me what is or isn't good for my dang brand."

Oh no, we're not going down this road. Over in the AFP thread they went down it and determined that a pizza is a kind of sandwich and that a salad with dressing is a type of stew. That can't happen here.

Yawgmoth posted:You'll never be as bad as one of my best friend's former roommates was. His method of cooking everything and I do mean everything was to boil a pot of water, then turn the heat off and put whatever he was cooking in the now-cooling water with the lid on. His favorite thing to do this with was chicken breasts, to make his "famous" chicken with pepper sauce. This was a poached-ish chicken breast as above, no seasoning at all, with a "pepper sauce" consisting of water (not even the cooking water, fresh water), corn starch, and ground black pepper. That's it. That does legitimately sound like the sort of thing you'd have an MIB or fetch eat to imply they're not quite human.

That's it. It sounds like he heard about low energy cooking and then went straight into salmonella country. The basic idea is actually pretty solid - boil the water, add the ingredients, and then most importantly, cover it with plenty of insulation. Without that last part, you're cooking food poisoning. With it, so long as your ingredients are okay, you've got a low energy cost method of cooking a stew/casserole/etc.

I'm trying to remember a certain Requiem Bloodline, but can't remember which book it was in or what the theme of it was. I can only remember that, as one of the bloodline's (carefully hidden) weaknesses, their bloodline discipline wasn't actually unique to their bloodline and could theoretically be learned by any Kindred. Does anyone remember what bloodline I'm thinking of? Also, when you say "bloodline" five times in close succession it stops looking a real word.
