They are allegedly very excited to make a couple video games to start. WoD are releasing their second editions for the current universe and they are real good.

i'm not even sure VTM:B is worth playing after LA. Like the second you reach that sewer you've basically got a whole bunch of lovely encounters, rushed storylines, hanging threads, and that last hub is nothing but a bunch of combat set pieces with little to no dialogue, and despite being a source engine game that is not a loving game you play for combat the only reason to keep going is to pick your ending, and most of them suck, a couple of them are funny.

Frankenstyle posted:Late-ish 90's I believe. This is the correct way to gm imo. As a good gm you should always be willing to diverge from what you had planned out if players try a novel solution, but you should be cheating outrageously regardless and/or just making up rules and poo poo to keep the tension where you need it. There is no way to tell how badly I'm cheating you behind that gm screen and that is natural and appropriate.

Nathilus posted:As a good gm you should always be willing to diverge from what you had planned out if players try a novel solution. Absolutely. My most popular campaign happened when the players skimmed right past this elaborate epic story I had set up, and the whole thing suddenly diverged into a spontaneous Lovecraftian medieval murder mystery where the players were trying to Sherlock who or what was behind the deaths of random locals in some lovely peasant village. I kinda miss the old RPGs.

You mean santa monica isn't in LA? I should probably pay more attention it took me forever to figure out shadowrun was set in seattle for the most part.

Y'all fuckin nerds are making me read wikis about vampires, I hate you. I vaguely remember two things about the Vampire guidebooks or whatever they're called: there's a section that's titled "Fighting Caine" that just reads "you lose", and some description of what happens when you suck the blood of various mythological creatures. Mummies don't have any blood lol

Santa Monica is a township or whatever that is seperate from LA (though surrounded on it by the three sides that aren't ocean).

Caine himself doesn't belong in a vampire game imo except that taxi cab driver cameo sort of deal. The clan progenitors are fair game in a gehenna scenario though, and their powers make them significantly stronger than most all forces of nature.

I know my actual geography, but in this game we're talking about radically different environments and chinatown might as well be in china for how little it has to do with the rest of the game except to hurry the plot along to an exploding sarcophagus So you have santa monica, downtown, hollywood, and then chinatown, if i remember correctly and chinatown is loving horrible lovely poo poo poo poo bad. basically after you run into the tzimice or whatever its called, and you reach that sewer level, you can safely turn the game off. I'm not sure if hollywood ends at that point, i don't remember the exact order, but the sewer marks the end of the good parts of the game 100%, it's almost like they tacked that on so people would quit before they got to the rest of the unfinished actual game.

Some of the high-level campaign ideas/ways Gehenna can play out have you killing Caine. You either have to abuse the game mechanics or get God involved.

I know for actual biblical research the nature of the mark remains debated. (I studied to be a pastor half a lifetime ago.) Volcott posted:get God involved. I'm down with this but I think in general Caine should be an unstoppable force of nature. Even stopping one of the antediluvian clan progenitors should be an amazing, game changing, potentially game ending event.

What's great in the new Chronicles of Darkness is that God is real and is a huge extra-planar machine. Angels are weird hosed up machines that are semi-autonomous and have a compulsion to gather information, even if it is not useful right now. So God knows everything because it's a massive Wiki with a great search function.

Also it's an incompetent autist that needs everything to be perfect or else it's plans get hosed up. Which explains why WOD sucks so bad.
