While I'm sick I'm chewing through a couple of the novels I never got around to incorporating into the database. Here's a line from one that highlights why having a fever is a benefit when trying to suffer through them: "With a sly, enigmatic smile, she had intrigued more than a few men in the short span of her adult years."

Never change, Loomer. V5 chat: One of my buddies is playing it and having a blast, they didn't follow the online drama, so had nothing biasing them against it going in. I'll probably check it out one day, but I have no real reason to stop using Requiem any time soon.

Playing a Cleopatra Nos who was in denial about their affliction was some of the most fun I had playing vampire.

New Night Horrors preview brings to mind our soulchat from awhile backquote:Vedmak do not place themselves within their own attached souls, since this produces a paradox: a Tremere inside a soul, inside a Tremere, inside a soul….

Who has a good, newbie friendly, online die roller? I used to use http://rpgroller.com/nwod/ but it's been down for a bit now. The base domain brings up a directory, but the roller doesn't work. I've found some nice CoD rollers, but none that keep logs you can link to. For my werewolf game, it's no big deal, the players can just post screen shots of the onyx path app, but I'm gonna be running a play by post for one of my lefty facebook groups for halloween and I need an online roller that will do the work for the players and keep a log for me to view. Also: Pumped for that new Night Horror book.

Don't you need to make an account and physically enter a character sheet? I've used it in some D&D games, but this is going to have pregenerated characters with custom abilities. It's designed to be super easy and no speed bumps to start play for the new folks

Though just as often we just use our physical sheets and don't worry with it. All our voice chat is done on Discord. The built in stuff is very bad if you have a larger play group.

If you have Discord, you can invite the Sidekick bot and it rolls dice pretty well, but you have to interpret the results because it doesn't have like WoD dice or anything, just d10s.

I more or less finished up my reading of Promethean: the Created 2nd Edition. This came after WtF 2e, meaning that the only 2e games I have left to read is Changeling the Lost and Demon the Descent. I also already read Vtr and WtF 2e, as well as Mortal Remains which is Hunter's pseudo-2e update. But after Promethean what line should I read next, 1e or 2e? I've been a big fan of Mage the Awakening, but it's kind of familiar ground I already tread so I'm considering getting my feet wet with a new line entirely. I heard that Demon is one of the best "extra" lines as of late, which may be worth looking into. Changeling seems cool but I heard that the 2e upgrade changes things up thematically. I heard good things about Geist, although it apparently had some errata and update problems. Mummy sounds rather quirky. I'll report the post of anyone who suggests Beast.

Changeling 2e doesn't change things thematically nearly as much as Promethean 2e does, I would say. It does change a lot around mechanically, but the themes are largely intact and good. (I think the thematic changes in Promethean are indirect: the narration and fluff text is fine and hits the same traditional notes, but the mechanical introduction of Roles has a big impact on how the Pilgrimage plays out.) Demon: the Descent is the best CofD gameline. Period.

Geist 2e's also a huge step up from the 1e, in terms of playability and also having stuff to do, but so far the 2e gameline consists of the corebook, which I don't think is even out in final PDF yet?

I love both Changeling and Geist, but the correct answer is Demon. Even if it's a weird pseudo nWoD1.0/2.0 mashup, it is amazing

It's laid out like a 1e corebook (including needing the 1e Rulebook or another full CofD rulebook), but mechanically it's all normal 2e rules.

I thought there was some weirdness with it? It's been a long time since I've read it, maybe I'm thinking of a different game? Was it Blood & Smoke before it became Requiem 2.0 officially?

Was it Blood & Smoke before it became Requiem 2.0 officially? Demon came out shortly after the "God-Machine Chronicle" rules update that would eventually simply become the 2E of the game, and it's one of the first nWoD games to use the 2E rules, but it's fully 2E compatible.

Hey. what kind of representation of haunted houses show up in WoD? I know levels of Dementation can make a house seem haunted, and there's Thaumaturgy/Necromancy paths that do the same, and wraiths/demons can occupy vessels of which (presumably) a house would be one, but I was toying around with the idea of a Changeling adversary which is basically a patch of Thorns which can manifest in the real world as a haunted house. Primarily it works by producing counterfiet Icons which lead the beguiled into believing that their childhood home is nearby, and that the denizens inside are their still living mortal family. THEN THEY GET EATEN BY A PIANO. or a Death Bed, which is a bed that eats. Maybe the "family" are transmogrified Hobgoblins, living inside the haunted house like those frogs that live in pitcher plants. Just curious how often it's been done before.

Here's my extremely cursory notes. I had the vague idea that the dice pool for each attack would be contingent on the number of victims the house had succeeded in eating before, but that's complicated and nobody at my table cared enough to do the math. I also just. . . Never got to use this, so. . . Here's the first half, which I WAS able to use, which the players IMMEDIATELY saw through and abandoned. The Honey Trap posted:In your runs through the Hedge, you notice a recurring patch of Thorns decorated with an unusually high number of Icons. While passing past on unrelated business, you hear the voice of a young girl, and freeze in place. The idea was they'd go to this house which still looks exactly as described, have a few social interactions with the people in the house which start fine then get increasingly creepy, realize the mustard carpeting is trying to eat them, and peace out violently. When the house returns, it returns in this secondary form since the house knows it won't be able to fool the players a second time. The House That Lies posted:The hallway spirals out before you, a single row of warped planks through a cloying darkness. A quiet hostility pervades the space. You see a trio of lights marking off places where the path branches, two to the left and one to the right. Thin dusty carpets suggest that the paths continue, though you cannot see where from your position. After the, the planks trail off into darkness you cannot pierce. I wanted a threat with limited direct "NOW U DIE" powers, while exploring what traumas a house might emulate. PHIZ KALIFA fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Aug 23, 2019 |
