You know, beyond all the extremely problematic content, there's another very good reason that Beast fails as a line - it's central premise, that Beasts keep humanity connected to the ~Primordial Dream~, and do so by making people terrified/victimized, is already something that other splats do. The Lancea Sanctum, the Hunters in Darkness, the Autumn Court/Scarecrow Ministry, etc; every splat already has a group whose schtick is essentially "Humans need to be scared shitless, for their own good." Beyond being just juvenile trashy garbage, it's loving recycled juvenile trashy garbage. It's a single faction concept trying desperately to shoulder the weight of an entire game-line.

Axelgear posted:I really need to read the Ordo Dracul book some time. I've always had this impression of them as a bunch of radical loners whose studies isolate them from society at large and only really see them come together in large numbers to show off and share tips on their depravity; the Otaku of the Vampire world,. There's definitely a lot of that in the Ordo (They don't proselytize, demonstrate, or really recruit in an active way, and tend to make other covenants nervous considering the Ordo's mild 'gently caress it all' attitude towards Domain politics...), but there's also a strong sense of an old-fashioned university or philosophical school, where cabals of students learn at the feet of more learned professors and mystics.

WINNERSH TRIANGLE posted:Cool, a friend of mine has invited me along to the local BNS LARP and I was considering spending my initial background dots on influence (since there's very little character-fitting to spend it on for a low-generation neonate after one dot of generation), lol, glad to hear that it's as busted and quadratic as I thought. Best part is either everyone has tons of Influence and using the subsystem becomes a hellish slapfight, or nobody does and you can stomp everyone into the ground with a handful of emails to the ST.  Politics!

Yawgmoth posted:I just got Protean 5 and so I get to pick a 5th animal form to transform into. Currently, I have bear (for murder), owl (for flight), cat (for stealth), and wolf (for tracking). I also have the Swarm Form merit so that's a thing to consider. We're playing in Chicago. Anyone have any suggestions? Something useful I am perhaps forgetting? Swarm of mosquitoes, perhaps? Or maybe some sort of endless tidal wave of ravenous rats?

The Changeling posted:Has anyone had any experience using Holden Shearer's Powered by the Dark stuff to run oWOD games in a PBTA framework? The VtM one can be found here, the rest are also free on his Patreon. I haven't used them myself, but after following the link and checking them out, I'm extremely interested in trying them out, if you're looking to run a game

Joe Slowboat posted:'Vampire and also Fae' is apparently a long-running obsession for people who write WW/OPP. Sometime... this summer? I saw a dev write up a half-Changeling half-Vampire template, which was not a combination of templates that made any sense to me whatsoever. They're both predatory (slightly less so for changelings) supernaturals who, unlike werewolves and mages, were actively and deliberately altered from a human state (as opposed to discovering their genetic inheritance or having the trippiest Epiphany ever) that manipulate mortals in order to feed off of them, deliberately organize themselves into a feudal structure for secrecy and protection, constantly make deals and bargains and trade favors, and whom both have a self-destructive tendency towards crippling psychological obsessions. They may represent different things with different themes, but there's a lot more overlap than I think you're giving credit for.

The more magechat goes on, the more I'm reminded about that old joke post about SUPERMECHAGODZILA screaming about ''which reading is true?!''
