Either way I'm here for it, I'd just like to have a use for all my old cards other than nostalgia. All the old expansions are legal for play (even the printable expansions), except for the individual cards in the banned list, so you will be able to mix the new cards with your old ones.

He's fine as Jasper in terms of dialogue, but I saw a video recently of how he comes up with the movement of his creature character acting and dude has some amazing talent. https://youtu.be/O_wAatC8ulE https://youtu.be/vATvIzHhKrQ

This is complete non-sequitor and I apologize, but with the booming fad business of selling bougie dice to gamers for other role playing games, I'm shocked that there doesn't seem to be any bougie dice specific to WoD.

A standard NWOD gray/blue set and a marbled green Changeling set. V5 dice are readily available on Amazon if you want them. I got a set for Xmas because I didn't want to spend $20 on dice.

For anyone curious about how Hunter 2e was going to handle it, Ashwood Abbey is not a fully-developed, canon conspiracy or compact. It is apparently going to be the sample create-a-group for that chapter later in the book. Which is okay I guess. Also: once again they fail to reference Frailty, possibly one of the best Hunter mood movies, in the recommended media. But they do mention Session 9, which is an obscure enough pull that I have to give them some credit.

Foglet posted:Hunter: The Vigil 2e KS is on. Finally, a new CofD 2e corebook where Chapter One isn't just a set of character splat splashes. Edit: I'm sorry? There's a casual handwave of metaplot to get rid of old compacts? Why? Hunter: the Vigil Second Edition Manuscript Preview posted:The Bear Lodge is another group that shows how murky a compact’s history can be. Some archivists speculate its founders may be related to members of Les Voyageurs who learned to hunt werewolves after the official group disbanded in the early 18th century. Though the Bear Lodge has since collapsed in modern times, active hunters have continued to uphold the Vigil by joining other compacts like Ashwood Abbey. Those hunters remember what the Bear Lodge was like when it existed, and unless a hunter historian is willing to find and interview surviving members, what they remember will eventually fade.

I read it a little while ago and could swear it was in there. Speaking of, I'm running a mortal campaign with some friends, taking down a cult that wants to summon a god, you know the deal. Id like to slowly introduce hunters in the world, but I'm not quite sure how. This is the first World of Darkness game over ever run, or even played at all.

Morpheus posted:They do mention it in Hunter: the Vigil, do they not? I read it a little while ago and could swear it was in there. Well if they're taking down a cult, a hunter group would probably be aware of said cult as well. If your players come up with some plan to attack the cult, well isn't that interesting, another group showed up packing serious heat and seems to focused on taking down this cult too. Or just have an NPC Hunter who maybe isn't sure if this group is ready to take up The Vigil but still sees they're on the right path.

Arguably, by taking on the job of destroying an evil cult themselves the PCs will *be* Hunters by the end of the arc. Especially if they've decided to devote more time to taking down other threats.

I Am Just a Box posted:Finally, a new CofD 2e corebook where Chapter One isn't just a set of character splat splashes. Because it's a nod to how the world changes? These are mostly mortal compacts that are getting absorbed it looks like. Which makes sense? People change all the time, and their groups and important communities change with it. I don't see too many people going to Lodge meetings on a regular basis anymore, it stands to reason these groups fall in and out of favor too. Granted, they put them all in the conspiracy that I find least interesting with TFV, but whatchagondo?

Frailty is a good movie but it is way way more Reckoning then Vigil so I can understand why they would leave it off the list of inspirations.

joylessdivision posted:Well if they're taking down a cult, a hunter group would probably be aware of said cult as well. In the first scenario, the characters stumbled upon a failed cult attempt to open a portal - a hunter compact had attacked them, but the four members of it were destroyed in the process. Now that I think about it, I could sort of have the players learn about the compact and the people that were in it, inheriting the mantle as the campaign progresses. Right now they're still in the confused state of 'wtf is happening' but the plan is definitely to have them be full fledged hunters by the end of it Edit: I could certainly introduce an NPC hunter later to guide them along the way though, that's a good idea Morpheus fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Feb 6, 2020 |

I'd played exclusively roll20 for the last few years, but just started an in-person game, and its definitely nice. Its not hard to have a laptop playing music. Its harder to use nice maps, but I use a wet-erase map and who cares if it isn't as detailed. We use 3d models so that looks good, and honestly having to build detailed maps for roll20 every week was kinda exhausting as a GM/DM/ST. Yeah you can buy map packs or play a premade but ehhh that's no fun.

Speaking of, that reminds me of my last campaign The party of mages astral projected over to Stygia and were going through this ghost town which was having a Dia de los Muertos festival. A bunch of dead celebrities were performing, like Buddy Holly. For some reason (whiskey?) I decided to mess with the party by having Ricky Martin perform. Totally forgetting what I was doing. "...is Ricky Martin dead??" "................ in this universe"
