Sounds like y'alls issue with malks is the people you played with are unimaginative and bad at roleplaying. There's nothing wrong with the mentally ill getting some representation with a vampire clan.

Metapod

It's not even about being "enlightened" if a person is role playing a caricature of a mentally ill person that's on the person not the game's description of a malk. Just like if a person decides to role play a caricature of a gang member for a brujah they will probably do some real hosed up cringey poo poo but that's not of the fault of the games description of brujah it's the player is bad at roleplaying. Unless of course that was the point of the character he/she made. Nonetheless if you're playing with someone who is playing as a caricature of a mentally ill person maybe talk to them about that because that's on them not the game itself.

My V5 group just finished a chronicle, and I decided it's the perfect time to retire my character. I figured what better way than to convert him into a loresheet. The group all loves it but I'd love some outside feedback from strangers who aren't afraid to be critical

1. Does the sheet seem balanced? I cribbed some of it from the V5 book for general ideas, and with the background dots you can just kinda balance out based on XP cost. The 5 dot feels balanced to me but it could end up being really OP/UP if I actually crunched the numbers.

2. Does the fluff do a decent job describing a character? I wrote it with the intention that it could be used by somebody who hasn't been playing with us weekly over the better part of a year. I tried to sneak in some stuff to flesh out his personality without getting in the way of the actual loresheet. The only V5 lore-breaking part is that, in our story, the Voermans were run out of LA after being caught with some Camarilla elders (we later discovered they were trying to prevent a war).

I also stole the V5 style because I'm that kind of person. Also there's a lot of commas and big long compound sentences because I'm a terrible writer.



Yo this is loving dope. What is codee dice? Seems very memy for a loresheet

V5 is a great system and everything any of yall had against it could be written away or made irrelevant if you had any creativity (because the meta plot doesn't matter)

You buy the book because it gives you a great rule set and optional world setting that allows you to to put more time into how do I make my game fun and less about world building

Idk what I did to be hated so much. All I say is I like v5 and explain why the reasons yall hate it so much dont impact the game at all. Nonetheless this causes a group of yall to call me a nazi/hitler/chub/fascist/alt right/whatever the meme bad guy word of the day is. It's very toxic and any new player that going to get into wod is going to be exposed to v5 first so I highly recommend changing your tactics if your goal is to get people into the games you like because no one is going to want to play the game people who yell your a nazi if you disagree with me play. I'm gonna keep yall in my prayers so my positive energy can help yall see the light I won't let yall fall to the darkness 🙏🙏🙏

"I don't know why you're being so hostile and calling V5 a bad game, it's easy to be blind to actual human suffering inflicted by the media you consume when you exist in a position of privilege."-Metapod, 2020

It doesn't matter if someone's first exposure to World of Darkness is V5, because we can say "Hey V5 has problems but here's a good game that isn't built upon a foundation of real world human suffering."

The device that you used to post this has caused more real world human suffering than any tabletop game has ever caused

Metapod

No I'm just saying yall are huge hypocrites. You really believe v5 is the one and only world of darkness book that has homophobia or racism or etc in it? Now this rhetorical of course because I dont really care what you believe cause actions mean more and that's what yall act like. This isn't the first because all of them have it every last wod book has some sort of homophobia or racism or something else thats really bad. The game you like it has it you might not remember it because haven't read it since the 90s or you have might not realized it because it was more accepted when you read but it is definitely there. And just like v5 it's okay you like the game you had/have fun playing the game and you probably didnt/dont use the bad things in the game because the meta plot doesn't matter. The wod universe is lovely and has always been lovely because they try to be edgy and it always comes off very poorly. At least with v5 they edited poo poo out and fired people over it. It's very hypocritical and weird and wreaks of edition wars. And tabletop games can't cause human suffering cause they don't have cultural presence they are too niche of a product to have that type of power. Get over yourselves stop taking the game so seriously try to enact change to the game to make it better but stop saying every differing opinion is either troll or nazi because that leads to an echo chamber full of close minded individuals who only accept opinions of those of people you like or those who are contrasting against people you dont like.

Depends on your definition. Maybe there's some specific, in-game character type called "Farmer" that acts like that, but there's absolutely no reason that a vampire couldn't set up some kind of hosed-up human farm/ranch/plantation and do exactly what I just described. Hell, figure that back in the "good old days" plenty of vampires did exactly that. The plot of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter posited vampires supporting the South so that they could keep using slaves as food.

Slaves are just one big herd. It has nothing to do with predator type

Ferrinus posted:

That is not an abusive relationship. People donate their time and energy, i.e. their labor-power, i.e. their life-force for the sake of their friends and relatives and neighbors all the time. Often they suffer in the process of doing so. Taking care of a sick friend or aging parent is a legitimate drain on your reserves and yet it is also your moral obligation by most standards.

Most abusive relationships start by getting the victim to believe in false sense of security. Sure the first few drinks might be consensual but after that the vampire isn't going to let it's food source deprive him/her of nourishment.

Being a vampire isnt like a disease or getting older. You are becoming a whole different type of animal, an all powerful leech specifically. People should actively not help them out friend or not. It is a weird problem where the vampire is your friend but your friend is a plague on the world what do you do I must admit.

Vampires are people. Your shift to “it” pronouns, animal/virus metaphors, etc, cannot elide this simple fact. It sounds like you just haven’t thought about this for very long and are defaulting to the reactionary viewpoint rather than taking the trouble.

I'm using it because it's a general pronoun. What else am I supposed to say?

Again, you're just trying to sneak in as much othering language as possible in order to dodge the basic moral issue: vampires are people, and people need blood to function. Can you actually explain what's monstrous about receiving a blood donation?

Vampires aren't people. They are humanoids but they are not human
