I thought for the longest time the ending was just the unreliable narration (which was kinda a thing up to that point, remember the shoot out) taken to its final consequence: they found something, but said (to us this time) it was hillbillies.

Then they dropped the occult theme and I was sad, because now that makes no sense.

Can I just say how :allears: I am about it being called Going Loud? Every Demon is a hybrid Uboat, whispering along the ocean floor, but when poo poo gets real out come the diesels and ICBMs.

The Arrow doesn't give a poo poo about making the world a better place except according to criteria that are unfathomable to the average person.

Individual AA members act according to their conscience and groups probably have various projects going, but yeah, they're not paladins or anything. As an organization they do not especially care about you or "society."

But wouldn't he be more usable as a pro-bono defense lawyer? Make him take health insurance cases and you fight two Seer birds with one stone!

Magic being public doesn't mean that all or even most mages are public, though.

No it isn't a WoD RPG, in fact all we really know is that it is an RPG, and you're playing in the Bad End of someone else's story where the Villains won, and you were probably one of the Villains.

You know when WOD says "humans are the real monsters, not everything bad is PENTEX" or whatever? Sometimes I roll my eyes because I want there to be a vast PENTEX conspiracy, because it's cool.

And then reality hits (and writes a new story hook): http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/05/b...WT.nav=top-news

And Obrimos easily bend light to become invisble, Acanthus are always overlooked, and Moros are shadows. They all have a way to gently caress off, and need to, to better evade the Seers Hit Marks.

It would have made for a better splat crossover if heroes were just, you know, other splats. Hunter being the most obvious, but you can see tons of potential for others (and that Werewolf quote is a perfect setup, or a Guardian of the Veil donning the Heroe's Mask to put down a Beast etc).

Didn't the Syndicate create Pentex and not shut it down even after knowing about the whole Wyrm thing? "Free markets, man and what's the threat?"

No, Pentex infiltrated the Syndicate, several Great Investors (or what they are called) are Nephandi. The Syndicate itself doesn't know, and on principle would fight it.

What was your hunter house rule?

ZeroCount posted:

Yeah, mortals tend to edit their memories of High Magic into stuff that makes sense for them. For most humans this means rationalising the magic away entirely. For Hunters on the other hand, and other likeminded individuals, I've always suspected it often involves rationalising it as a different kind of magic. They know the supernatural exists after all, it's just a question of what kind of magic their worldview would accept.

For example, a member of the Long Night might not accurately remember the Death spell that his quarry cast but he does remember the diabolical sorcerer summoning up some power from the pits of hell to strike his friend down.
