so i've been in this group playing vampire for a bit and I made a sandman predator type. Whenever I go to feed the story teller (vampire master? idk im new at this) starts detailing it almost in a fetish like sense. It's pretty uncomfortable listening to it but I don't want to make the experience less fun for him how do I go about dealing with this?

Ferrinus posted:I'm not saying 3 is always better than 2+1. Sometimes it's better and sometimes it's worse; in the first session of the game, someone who buffs their greatest strength isn't necessarily better off than someone who spreads out. its harder to get out of clan disciplines that's why getting the discipline from the predator type is very good and cool instead of 3rd dot in a clan discipline assuming you want to make a nontraditional character

Ferrinus posted:That's not necessarily true, and the way it's harder is the cool in-character way that provides for bigger in-game challenges and roleplaying opportunities. Conversely, it's always less expensive than boosting your mainline powers to new heights. How come nontraditional characters end up behind on XP than traditional characters? Wouldn't you want to reward rather than punish people for branching out in unusual ways? you are a vampire that is naturally gifted at 3 abilities so it is easier for you learn but you see this other vampire do this sick rear end ability so you want to learn it but since it does not come naturally to you it requires more work to master

Ferrinus posted:I think you literally don't understand what we're talking about. This isn't about the fact that in-clan costs New Rating x5 and out-of-clan costs New Rating x7. the predator type gives you more than 1 dot though theres a whole bunch of character traits it gives so you can have a sweet unique character that presents new challenges for you to solve i dont really understand why getting 1 dot in a discipline is bad thing

lmfao the design flaw of being able to create an interesting character where your choice matters for the entire story because it gives you merits flaws and a dot you can put in a discipline you may or may not know. Oh no not the terrible dynamic character creation option

I think you are arguing predator types are flawed because you have ability to make a suboptimal character based on dot levels while ignoring that not all dot levels are equal and the game is more than making the optimal character

The difference of xp is like 5 if you decide to do 2/2 of your clan instead of 3/1 that's a pretty insignificant amount

I understand the math I dont dispute the math the math just doesn't matter that much. Yeah another player may have an "xp advantage" but you arent facing these other players you are working as a team so being able to synergize with everyone else by doing whatever role you create your vampire to fill is more important than being the strongest vampire. The predator types help you a lot in this as it gives you a means to create your niche more easily.

I mean if you are breaching left and right its only natural that you would be killed to save the masquerade. That's why I would like to know how many times the op hosed up

Having a member of your coterie kill you is a good death imo as it shows the seriousness of breaching the masquerade. Also again the op still hasn't said how times he hosed up.

juggalo baby coffin posted:it doesnt really matter what they did, the ST handled whatever it was in the most lovely manbaby way possible How do you know though? We don't know what was agreed upon before the campaign started. Like it's very possible everyone agreed that this campaign would be a hard one where everyone is a big mistake or two from death. How do we know that PM wasn't sent in jest but the op is melting so he didnt include the lmao or the st was just meming because someone else said that? The op is melting because he lost a character and melting people don't tend to tell the whole story. STOP BEING A COWARD BLITZ7X AND TELL US HOW MANY TIMES YOU hosed UP
