Kai Tave posted:After seeing how Beast is shaping up I'd be careful what you wish for. I want to remain confident that this is an edge case, because every other 2E thing has been or is shaping up to be good. The 2E Mage stuff looks great, even the Changeling stuff that looked a little out there seems to be falling into place.

I mean if you have Forces 5, sunlight is a bit of a novelty. Just levitate something huge and drop it on the dumb bastard when he's sleeping. Half the fun of Forces is being able to go the full Looney Toons on somebody.

Axelgear posted:Given what Beasts do to people, it is the exact opposite of what they'd say. Beasts are scumbags who would kill people in their sleep to satiate their hungers. A hero would say "that is a lovely thing to do". Unless one of us has drastically misinterpreted the other.

I think it's one of those things that is supposed to come part in parcel with who your character is. You come out of the hedge as a changed person, your old name is probably dangerous or inconvenient to use for a number of different reasons, and you gotta tell people something. Maybe you just say you're Bob Smith, but at some point you have to own what's happened or you'll go mad(der). Maybe you give yourself a fairy name to own what's happened to you, maybe it's based out of spite, or maybe you're just embracing the insanity of it all. There's probably not one comprehensive answer. Edit: I feel like there's a better term than 'fairy name' that I'm forgetting. Cabbit fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Jun 14, 2015 |

paradoxGentleman posted:When the Beast Seeming was published I actually mentioned the gung-ho attitude exhibited by these Changelings, and David Hill answered me: I like this, but at the same time I'm in the "kind of worried about mechanics being marred to the theme" camp. I was planning on Changeling being the first 2E game I run for my group (because try as I might they won't get on the Mage train) and I worry this might end up being a little heavy for them.

MonsieurChoc posted:It's weird how much people love Aberrant because it's easily the least interesting of the three settings. That kind of superhero setting has been done multiple times, and I don't see how Aberrant does it particularly better than them. I think context is important. It was the late 90s, and the late 90s in comic books was pretty dire on a lot of levels. It was just the right sort of game at the right time-- the metaplot was obviously a huge problem (as was it always in oWoD) and the rules could be clunky, but it was kind of this walking-talking personification of everything that was right and wrong with comics in the 90s that you could punch your way through. It was an interesting playground.

Rand Brittain posted:I'm confused. When did "lawyer Arrow" stop being a concept everybody wanted except the writers and start being something nobody wanted except the writers? "Lawyer Arrow" was never a popular idea. It's something that came up in a previous magechat and got roundly mocked for not adhering to the "Arrows fight ALL THE TIME" doctrine.

Daeren posted:You can sure as poo poo catch a video of a dude outrunning a jeep and put that on YouTube, though. Or a dude turning into a bat, or growing extra arms, or bench-pressing a dumpster. Yeah, but who the gently caress is going to believe it? Real people can't do that poo poo, and any kid with a laptop, pirated video editing software, and too much Red Bull could make a convincing fake (especially in the oWoD, where realistic depictions of technology are about as rare as realistic depictions of magic). poo poo, there are people who still don't buy the moon landing, but do buy the notion that Planned Parenthood are harvesting infant organs for the black market because of 'video evidence'. Discrediting and distracting from actual videos of vampires and other poo poo is probably not that hard. Cabbit fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Sep 3, 2015 |
