Mors Rattus posted:Oh good, I just found a passage talking about how it feels really good to build a new Lair room out of an area where someone else has had a mental breakdown in front of you. This more excerpts I see, the more the game looks like they tried to extrapolate something from the Night Horrors line of books into a playable splat. I don't really want to play as any of those things.

That and a legion of 1E fanboys who insist that 1E was like, soooo deep man. There was also that big war with Garou that resulted in the death of the sitting Prince.

It looks like I may be running a Vampire: The Requiem 2nd Edition game. Are there any quirks I should be aware of? Any quality of life system hacks? This will is also my first actual play experience with a post-GMC CoD game so any more general tips/words of warning are welcome too.

MonsieurChoc posted:Actually, I'd urge you to give a second chance to Requiem. It has a very different flavour and I think if you give it a chance to be a different game about vampires you might like it. This is almost exactly what I tell everyone. Requiem 1st ed really didn't do enough to set itself apart from Masquerade and fell flat in a lot of people's eyes. It just got better and better with each supplement. I've converted a few staunch oWoD players to give it a more in depth look and one has begun to proselytize others themselves.

Dawkins aka Gentleman Gamer is not the same level of awful that Ericsson and others are. I'm fairly certain he has a dumb edgy streak to him, and I'm not sure he 100% understands why people were upset over V5's hot button issues, but he at least was shocked like the rest of us when Zak was hired.

In a world where shonen anime usually starts off fun and eventually crawls up its own rear end, Bleach in the worst offender. I'm deathly afraid My Hero Academia is going to reveal that Sumerian Deities are the source of all Quirks.

Pope Guilty posted:Okay, NuWolf is definitely worried at this point. “This appendix did not exist prior to Polygon’s playtest of Vampire, one that included a simulated sexual assault. At the time, White Wolf producer Jason Carl said that this information was slated for a separate, paid release. Now it appears that at least some of that content is being included in the core rulebook.” I want to scream. I mean, I suppose due credit for wanting to do better, but come the gently caress on. Also, I find it amusing that we’re seeing Jason Carl everywhere while Ericsson seems to now be hidden away.

Kurieg posted:Well, if it helps to qualify my statement. 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. 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.

Loomer posted:We also got, in the same cleanup, the awesome intro comic of some extremely angry American Get patriotically fighting Nazi get during WW2. This was the 1st Edition Get Tribebook. Yes, even 1st Edition had enough sense to unambiguously portray Nazis as evil.

Kurieg posted:I think the moral of werewolf is "Rage was a mistake". To riff off of this, I’ve always disliked the Rage/Frenzy Rules because it always felt very binary when it came to the chance of frenzy. It’s almost impossible to Frenzy if you don’t have 4 Perm Rage, but extremely likely if you do. It’s definitely one area where I think the game would benefit from the 5th ed design by giving them Rage Dice, similar to V5’s Hunger Dice, to give that sense of a growthing threat of Frenzy. It’ll be interesting to see how they do it, especially in regards to keeping the theme of the Auspice’s varying levels of Rage. It also raises the issue of how they’ll handle Gnosis as a completely separate resource.

Doesn’t the Boston book also have the Prince of 100,000 Leaves? I always liked that.

Desiden posted:Over on Joseph Carriker's public facebook, MR*H has commented on it, though its kind of vague and dodgy as to whether he's admitting to writing it or not. MHR posted again after someone pulled out Paizo and other companies as examples of good companies. quote:Hasbro? Paizo? Monte Cook? With all due respect, they are not writing a game about the abject evil and immorality of human nature, and the ways in which power corrupts even the most tender of mortal hearts. Ah yes, the tasty personal horror of Vampire. What beast have I become? When will I finally lose control and take a life? Will tonight be the night I institute a pogrom against homosexuals?

Rand Brittain posted:I presume you'd want somebody who can tell you what the text was like before Paradox White Wolf made changes other than by hearsay. Presumably there's more than one person who can do this but I'm not sure how many of them would be willing to tell you. The developer posts here occasionally and he was the one to confirm in a previous TG Industry thread that it was White Wolf that added poo poo like the gender sidebar. If he wants to discuss it then that’s up to him.

I still remember being just plain confused by what Beast’s were the first time I read the initial Kickstarter document. The build up for Beast was invoking Dragons and Leviathan and just really BIG poo poo. Then when I look at the text it tells me that you aren’t actually that, you just have it’s soul. Huh...well that’s boring. Beast completely failed to grab me even before the more troubling reading of the text became apparent.

Tias posted:Can someone sum up easily what Martin Swedracula did w/r/t Vampire 5th gen that sucked (no pun intended)? My girlfriend has known him for 20 years it turns out, and while she thinks he's a lovely and possibly rapey LARPer, she hasn't heard in her RPG circle what's so bad about V5. He’s listed as “Lead Storyteller” for the current iteration of White Wolf. I don’t think anyone has a 100% idea of who is responsible for what, but during his tenure as Lead Storyteller a number of troubling things have happened including; hiring Zak to write their Choose Your Own Adventure mobile game, a pedophile sample character in playtest documents, White Wolf dictating edits to a OPP written Werewolf sourcebook to includ transphobic poo poo, careless Nazi dogwhitles in the V5 text, a really gross take on the persecution of LGBT people in Chechnya, and other things that I’m sure I’ve forgotten.

Dawgstar posted:If it helps, I think the only canon folks to crossover to the HtR games are God45 and Carpenter. And they’re fairly different from the tabletop counterparts. The whole game is at odds with the table top. If the tabletop Judge got the same basic edge that the video game one got then the World of Darkness would be muuuuuch different.
