Pope Guilty posted:"But it worked great for L5R!" L5R defined those changes with, like, tournament reports that are easy to compile and categorize. A report written by LARPers is likely to be half-written fabrication and barely suitable english that only sometimes is sent.

Vitamin P posted:The gap between their "Netflix series by X!" plan and what they seem to actually be doing is hilarious honestly. Like they've announced this huge multimedia setting and we've seen signs of what, exactly? Honestly a quick F2P Hunter phone game would be great for them, it would bring in a few bucks and open up the setting to an entire new 'vampires and modern supernatural' market that would never, ever hear of WoD otherwise.

The only thing that is "Normal people fighting monsters" about Reckoning is the tagline, a group of non-stupid people with the first two levels of their default powers could train wreck like 90% of the monsters in the WoD. If they didn't throw in "Yeah but you suck and also you will 100% go insane and die" mechanics the Hunters would have wrapped that poo poo up inside a decade no problem.

A big part of its popularity, from what I understand, is less about "fighting monsters" and more about the possibility of incestuous loving between the two male leads. So we'd need to figure out which WoD splat has the most incestuous loving.

Or a tournament winner who was just bandwagoning with the hot power deck voting for something to screw over the clan he was playing as.

Because unlike magic when it came out you could not split your gold so if you had a one production holding and a five production holding you would have to use both to get Toku with the one production and the five production one for anything that was 1-5 gold cost because that extra money disappears when buying a cheap dude.

I've never actually played the L5R card game but from what I understood from my friends who have, it was crazy good since everyone could use him and came out basically as soon as you got him in hand.

Got a Changeling question: Had an idea for a character who basically has a sort of death/decay aura about him. A very weak one, of course. He doesn't kill anyone he touches, but he was used as sort of a composter by his Keeper. He'd sit on a box of plant matter and it'd turn into compost. Although he'd kill the rest of the garden whenever he tried to take a stroll through it. Does this correspond with any real powers anywhere I could steal from, or am I working with my ST to make something up from scratch?

Xinder posted:isn't that just the "vampire but not" kith? Well, yes, but it makes sense if you flavour it as stealing the residual life force from the plants to turn them into compost faster. I'm not sure how it works in 1e anymore, but in 2e the only thing you'd have to tweak is the exceptional success part of the blessing. Maybe something related to finding food, or goblin fruit? Something garden related.

I just scrolled past it for some reason and didn't actually read it before you said something.

Well, at last nuWW has something to show for all their efforts with the Storyteller's Vault: http://www.storytellersvault.com/product/231499?affiliate_id=13&src=TheOnyxPath I know I for one felt the lack of chupacabra rules was glaring in the oWoD. I have to wonder how OPP feels about having to advertise this poo poo in their blog posts.

Alrighty, more or less figured out my Changeling for the Victorian game a friend of mine is running: Oz, the 17 year old street urchin from London. He's a Darkling Leechfinger* who is very friendly and personable, but basically the living embodiment of Hedgehog's Dilemma. Because of his situation, and because he's a 17 year old boy, he occasionally lashes out and does stupid things. And he's just old enough to start understanding that what he did was wrong after the fact and regret it. He didn't escape, he was thrown out by his Keeper for ruining the gardens. Being thrown out actually upset him at first, but after a day or two to think about it, he realized it sucked in Arcadia too. Now makes his living as an exterminator of vermin and longs to someday "see the world". *Changes to the normal Leechfinger ability are: -Doesn't restore health -Only triggers once per minute, instead of once per turn -When he remains more-or-less still, the effect very gradually expands outwards from his body to a maximum radius of 3 feet -Doesn't cost glamour to activate -Cannot be deactivated ever -Effect instantly kills all "base life" (grass and small insects and whatnot) each minute, higher life forms get a stamina+size roll to resist and take 1 bashing if they fail -At the cost of 1 glamour, effect can be charged to 1/turn with no resist roll for the rest of the scene. Effect immediately expands to maximum radius if not already He's more an Aspect of Decay than a Life-Stealer.
