I remember Tim Bradstreet did art for Vampire at one point. I liked his stuff.

No, you mean Leif Jones. Although he's honestly more iconic for Trinity.

I look forward to OPP introducing, like, a sympathetic minority character that becomes popular enough that WW wants to do something with them, and then they throw them into a box full of rear end-smears.

I love him for his work on Werewolf specifically. He seemed to be the only artist who figured out what Crinos form was supposed to look like.

Oh, no doubt. And honestly I thought his style worked for regular people - he even draws them kind of feral-looking.

I liked the artist who did all the Forsaken covers, although he suffered a bit from same-face syndrome. He's become synonymous with Forsaken for me.

I Am Just a Box posted:Incidentally, am I alone in thinking the aesthetic for V5 is loving hideous? Oversaturated colors, text on top of illustrations and photos, intentional digital artifacting and blocky glitches for style, lack of clear borders where everything dissolves into each other (which the Exalted 3e design also seems to suffer from). It looks almost as garish as the content reads, except at least the illustrations refrain from full rear end-rape stiffness. Honestly, it just looks to me more generic and trying too hard than anything. Like, I"m not going to defend or even get all nostalgic for the old art, there's a reason places (including this one) have articles making fun of some of it. But at least it was mostly a consistent theme that had a brand different from the other books on the RPG shelf. This just looks kinda like any other lower quality layout you might see from a middle of the pack self-published RPG these days. Someone who contracted art, but then tried to puzzle out putting it all together on the page themselves.

Desiden posted:Someone who contracted art, but then tried to puzzle out putting it all together on the page themselves. Well yeah, it's a mixture of 90s pencil artwork, video game digital concept art, Swedracula's friend's crayon drawings, and a high-end fashion designer's low-end budget photo shoots, all ordered by at least 5 different art directors over 27 years. Then they gave it to someone for layout expecting "magic!" There's some real baller pieces in here, but the book lacks a cohesive style like you find in Vampire 2nd edition or Revised. EDIT: Beast has better art direction than V5. THERE I SAID IT.

Ron Spencer was instrumental in how my love for Werewolf developed. I was 12 when I first discovered WoD via the Rage CCG and let me tell you, 12 year old boys love Ron Spencer.

I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of people hitting refresh on the WoD site so they can enter the preorder code and get their copy of the PDF/ Or at least, I hope that I'm not the only one.

Guy Davis is so goddamn good that when he took over the art on B.P.R.D. from Mike Mignola and I was like "not bad, actually."

I like the artist who does all the blue and black art. Also Ron Spencer probably has the most consistently good werewolves, but the best has to be that image from the first Forsaken book intro. That thing looks savage and powerfully built. It's perfect.Kurieg posted:I have a soft spot for the werewolf with the stop sign in the McWoD book.

My sister asked me about Changeling the Dreaming 20th and while I really want to try to steer her towards CtL I'm actually kinda curious as to how that book turned out.

Mors Rattus posted:He's not the first. I'm not sure whatever's buried in the Tomb of the Butterfly is the kind of thing that leaves ghosts, though. The most likely candidates for what it was are, like, either some kind of hosed up void Spirit from outside Luna's barricade (already ephemeral), a proto-Angel (also already ephemeral), an Idigam that didn't survive its banishment, or the whole thing is just an elaborate piece of containment infrastructure.

I dunno, it'd be an interesting take to say it is, in fact, a buried God-Machine cultist, to take advantage of the whole graveyard dog thing and end up with a superghost to better serve the Machine's needs.

I can't recall seeing it in the manuscript, and it's more about general ghosts than geists, but you're really hosed by burial at sea, aren't you? I'd assume that's straight to the underworld or worse

Ugh, it feels wrong to ask this, but I couldn't help it springing into my head with that observation. What with being a Titanic buff from childhood pre-movie onward. Is the Titanic the largest oceanic graveyard in existence? For that matter, would any sunken ship with multiple hands lost on board count as a graveyard? Particularly lost subs, one would think... edit: Crap. Would the Blue Hole? Would popular but deadly caving (diving or otherwise) sites? Would Everest, or other notoriously deadly mountains?

I'm trying to remember if there was an Embed or Exploit in early versions of Demon that allowed an object to be switched from one thing into another, or tied them together in such a way that one could become the other? It wasn't Cuckoo's Egg because it allowed both objects to be used.
