Pope Guilty posted:They want a series on Netflix or similar within a couple of years I know it's a longshot, but this could be really wonderful if done right. Each season focuses on a different line, like one for Vampire, then Mage, and taking place in a different part of the country but with references of events that happened in the previous season and so forth. Guy can dream. Exciting news though.

I picked up Mage: the Ascension 20 and I love it so far. What other books could I peruse for inspiration for it, not necessarily for expanded rules?

bewilderment posted:How does that change the kind of person you are and the society you live in? That's pretty much what the players find out in the game, I guess. I haven't gotten to run any Mage (only run Hunter a few sessions and loved it) but through living vicariously by others PbPs and podcasts, Mage seems to be very player driven with the ST reacting instead of provoking. What the players choose to pursue, create and destroy is the answer to the "What would this character do given incredible amounts of power?" Which case I would just love to roll a gym rat Silver Arrow.

DJ Dizzy posted:At what point does it becomes the storytellers fault that players are dead at the end of an encounter? Most issues can be solved with liberal application of guns in HtV. But what about monsters that dont give a gently caress about bullets? Part of the aspect I tried to really convey to my players during our Hunter sessions was "be like Batman," and don't just go rushing in guns blazing, since lots of stuff laughs at bullets in this game. We never got far enough to really enact some plans, but a couple players were already starting to hoard various weapons and research tactics on certain monsters

http://www.vampyr-game.com/ So here's something interesting. Edwardian era vampire stuff, I wonder if you play as one-of-a-kind bloodsucker or if there's an actual society going on. Pretty much going to be my fix until we get an actual VTM game... someday? I can only replay Bloodlines so many times!

Hey Loomer all that stuff was amazing, thanks for the interesting reads on the long drive out of South Dakota! Out of curiousity, how much stuff in the Midwest sees attention in the books? I know there's a book for Chicago and some information on Detroit.

Yo Loomer every time you talk about The Project this is what I picture you as, like the House of Leaves guy but with RPG books from the 90s. But seriously, is Time of Judgement seems so hit-or-miss with the resolutions. Doesn't Caine and Abel both battle in the VTM scenario while the PCs chill in a church?

I know I'm in the middle of Magechat but I just started a Hunter interest group with some friends. Is the best route to use the Chronicles of Darkness rules with the Hunter template on, or is there some... Errata out there since the Hunter book is from before those changes? I'm so excited to run a game again!

I recently posted about starting a Hunter group with my friends. Whoever suggested the Horror Recognition Guide was spot on, it was a great read. I have a couple of questions though about one of the stories that involved the Seers of the Throne. I've read Mage some but I'm a bit confused how their possession of people worked. Specifically how, if a Mage is possessing someone and that person is killed, does that kill the Mage?

I've been churning over ideas for my first Hunter session with my new group. I've narrowed it down to three options: 1. Cancer cell: A neighboring Hunter cell disappears off the grid unexpectedly. Each member stops posting on the local neighborhood forum, relatives and bowling buddies inquire where they went. Hopefully without railroading my players, they would have a natural curiousity to track down the missing Hunters, leading to their cabin-in-the-woods safehouse that was breached, and find clues showing the cell may have been taken down from the inside. Incredibly cheesy I know, but it seems like a good mix of investigation, socializing and eventually some fists and guns near the end. It could also be a good way to drop more story hooks in as they search through the group's notes. 2. MENergy: Lately, testosterone replacement clinics are popping up like weeds, promising awesome results for dirt cheap treatments. Some of the clinics are "legit" while others are using newer, revolutionary means to "help" their patients. A spike in the population of gym buffs and swole dudes becomes noticeable as the City enters a MENaissance . But violent crime spikes as well, with some patients newfound strength leading them to one man riots that seem to have an underlying purpose. Side effects may include sick abs, burstin quads and murder for foul gods beyond our ken. This is my more lighthearted option as the players would investigate what these drugs are, which is why I inquired about the Seers earlier wanting to dominate people's brains. (Why dominate a schlub when you have more wannabe Mr. Olympias walking around?) 3. [color="blue"]House[/color] of Leaves. Much, much more straightforward investigation into a spooky [color="blue"]house[/color] where people come in and don't come out the same. Or at all. Except for a twist I'd think I'd have the [color="blue"]house[/color] more sentient than in the books, even to the point where it moves around when it isn't being observed. It used to be at 1905 Fifth street, now it's at 1907 Fourth Street, etc. Probably a good way to heighten the paranoia levels of the game. I realize I'm just spitballing here. I imagine the last idea has been done to death before but it'd be new for my group.

Kai Tave posted:This would be a good way to drop a hint or two leading towards Cheiron if you wanted to go that route as well. Absolutely. Each hook I think of can split so many different ways. It's Cheiron performing more experiments on an unwitting populace. It's a vampire conspiracy to enslave humanity. It's Seers, Strix, or just plain ol' big shadow government goons. One of my players made a character who is a hipster trashy socialite who's "in" with everyone worth being cool with in town. The twist, he's an avid truther, infowars.com bumper sticker Illuminati seeker. It's almost too easy. The Unlife Aquatic posted:I like this one. Yeah it's cliche, but cliches are cliches for a reason - they work, they're satisfying, and they're not difficult to execute. In my experience it's always best to stick with more straight-forward narratives with a newer group, everyone is still figuring out the social order and a more classic story is a good way for everyone to sound out their position in the group dynamic. Ultimately it's most likely what I'll go with. Could be a decent way to explain some of the facets of the game in a show, don't tell way.

Both pretty tempting options. I'm thinking of making it either something that's the tip of a larger conspiracy, perhaps tied to TFV having a particular vendetta against the now destroyed cell using it as a opportunity to send out a skin changing, brainwashed assassin posing as a fellow hunter. I read a lot the last few days about MKULTRA and holy poo poo.
