>Do your games strongly feature modern technology?

I'm not sure what this question is asking? But I suppose I could say, "Where appropriate." Out of date tech makes great window dressing. However, I was also going to have a cabal of Mages (under the misdirection of a loyalist Changeling monarch) use Fermilab to break a hole in reality and make a gateway directly to Arcadia.

>Do your games strongly feature modern technology?

No, I think the most modern time I've ever set my modern games was the mid '90s or so. Technology simply detracts too much from horror I want in my games and even a simple smartphone instead of people have to looking for a landline or payphones can wreck a story based on isolation. "We don't have any signal" is a cliche I cannot stand.

In the sessions. We usually have to prompt a response out of him, and sometimes he asks what's going on.
>>
>>52629164
That's wrong, PCs are almost never just unlucky folk trying to escape. They shouldn't be using their own phones because they're more likely a splat trying to operate in secrecy from competing conspiracies that can turn phones into surveillance. There's a lot less horror in implying there's any help outside that could possibly be called.

I don't now. That depends on the person, but playing sometime at the turn of the century when you have no idea if the next town over is going to have a telegraph office so you can get quickly in touch with your base for them to send back up is kind of a big deal.

How do you guys handle faction warfare in your games. For my next VtR campaign I plan on building up tension between covenants and than making it erupt into violence. Have anyone here done something like that?
>>
>Some splats have anti-magic abilities, but they can be nullified using Prime.

How does this work? Mages negating other splats anti-magic abilities. Wouldn't said abilities negate Prime's attempt to fuck with them?
>>
>>52629912
One of the main deals of Prime is basically fucking with the underpinnings of magical effects, including those intended to repel other magic. It's like bypassing a password by hacking the base code of the system.
>>
>>52629933

Yeah but to extend the analogy: It doesn't matter if you have the ability to access the lower level parts of the system if you can't get past the firewall to use that access. Does it actually say that anti-magic effects can't stop prime?
>>
>>52629962
The equivalent to a firewall in this analogy would be another mage attempting to use Prime to block what you're doing, rather than the anti-magic effect you're trying to bypass.

But yeah, Prime can just dig in and cancel or alter active magical effects, provided you have enough dots to do more than just manascan.
>>
>>52629991

...that seems kinda bullshit. So a GM for a Mage game needs to make literally every foe group have a mage or they have no protection or invent 'This is above Prime' stuff? That seems limiting on a GM front.

But then, I'm the sort of WoD player who has my fondest memories of mixed splat games...which is really not a design decision behind either Exalted or nWoD. Mores the pity IMO.
>>
Prime is the meta-magic Arcana, it's intended for it to fuck with other non-Supernal magics.

This includes anti-magics.
This shouldn't be hard to understand.
>>
>>52630056
Can't gm just rule that such effects like say Carthian Coda against sorcery are in fact Prime in nature and be done with it?
>>
>>52630056
>I'm the sort of WoD player who has my fondest memories of mixed splat games

Into the trash you go.
>>
>>52630082

That would be a reasonable way to houserule it. Lets you have that group of holy monks chanting prayers against magic and have them not be the punchline of a joke if you want non-mage threats in your mage game.
>>
>anons get angry that mages can overrule one of the minor few things non-Magers have against mages.

Get over yourselves. Prime always fucked with other sorcerous workings. Antimagic is not an exception.
>>
>>52630090

Oh, I'm not expecting everyone to agree with me. It's just my personal preferences as I feel it makes for a richer setting than subdividing it into 'Cannot cross these lines' zones.
>>
>>52630082
>doesn't like that mages have the best anti-magic
>decides to make vampires better because REEE

>>52630099
Those monks better hope that their foe mage doesn't have Prime to counter their faith.
>>
>>52630108

Part of the issue is that a major theme of mage is Hubris. However a major part of Hubris is that overconfidence can cost you heavily in a situation where you thought you had the upper hand. Mechanically however it's not really hubris is you DO always have the upper hand.
>>
>>52630138
Yeah whatever
>>
>>52630138

>Those monks better hope that their foe mage doesn't have Prime to counter their faith.

Well, that was in the case of ruling that other splat anti-magic counts as Prime (As it IS countermagic).
>>
>>52630138

I think it's more that 'People don't like that anti-magic doesn't actually work on the splat based around magic'
>>
>>52630154
>Hubris
One of the major themes of the line, yet a far too common excuse made by those with bitter opinions of it.
Not every mage is an idiot, and a lot of mages can actually back up their overconfidence without failure. Jesus.

>Mechanically however it's not really hubris is you DO always have the upper hand.
Just deal with it. Crossover balance is not a focal point for the developers. Mage is explicitly one of the three most potent game-lines, alongside Mummy and Demon. This is by design.
>>
>>52630178
>Not every mage is an idiot, and a lot of mages can actually back up their overconfidence without failure. Jesus.

Then it's not really overconfidence. That's just confidence.
>>
>>52630196
Nah, it's called overkill.
>>
>>52630164
Prime is more than just magic, it's also truth.

It's not far fetched to assume that the splat based around magic, wherein one of its ten Arcana is all about just that, would have the best anti-magic available.
>>
>>52630178
Just because something is by design doesnt mean it's good design.

I love mage but it sucks as a WoD game if your players never have to actually deal with the repercussions of their hubris.

They needed to give paradox waaaay more bite because honest to god, the fact it's so pathetic makes one of their entire Orders basically redundant.
>>
>>52630215

It's less that it's got the best anti-magic and more that it's got the ability to just ignore other people's anti-magic. So mage just removes it's own weakness very easily.
>>
>>52630226
>Just because something is by design doesnt mean it's good design.
I have seen nothing BUT good design since Awakening 2e came out. I'm loving every facet.

>I love mage but it sucks as a WoD game if your players never have to actually deal with the repercussions of their hubris
That's your STs fault, not the system or the players. They can and do suffer, just within their own setting and not as much from the others.

>They needed to give paradox waaaay more bite
Paradox being too harsh was one of the big complaints about Ascension, and it still didn't stop mages from being at the top of the totem pole, in terms of potential.
>>
>>52630247
You can still use anti-magic against mages, Jesus Christ Almighty.

Just pray to god that the mage doesn't have Prime. That's all there is to it.
>>
>>52630282

>Jesus Christ Almighty

Well, semi-mighty. He's no mage.
>>
>>52630226

I'd honestly, if I had the chance to do design, make magic a little less reliable, especially on the fly.

Yes, you are incredibly powerful...but your hurbis will cost you badly if you just assume your magic will always be there to answer when you call. You can't ever assume it's certain or rest on your laurels.
>>
>>52630304
Go piss on another splat. Get out of here.

So i'm swimming over this sea of wankery and vomit that is this board in search for advice. Did anyone run open faction warfare instead of normal cold warish type that seems to happen in cofd on average day? I'm mostly interested in covenant vs covenant but would be interested to hear stories from other splats
>>
>>52630256

Anon are you actually this retarded? Does your aide know you are browsing 4chan?
>>
>>52626480

I accept it because otherwise hunters are the WoD equivalent of heroic mortals in Exalted. That's what you're signing up for.

>>52630226

>That's your STs fault, not the system or the players. They can and do suffer, just within their own setting and not as much from the others.

The problem with Mage, and other WW games, is that the characters don't suffer the consequences of their actions from the setting reacting narratively to the fucked up shit they do.
They suffer by rolling bad on the omnipresent Fuck You track.
I mean Masquerade has an actual roll to determine wether your character or not feels remorse for their actions. What the shit?
>>
>>52630858
>Is that the characters don't suffer the consequences of their actions from the setting reacting narratively to the fucked up shit they do
I'm new to this conversation, but that's a narrative effect. Unless you want to introduce those as a dice mechanic, there's no way to put that in the system.
>>
Still looking for that "A Beast I Am" album, because holy fuck, you literally can't find this shit anywhere to download, not unless you buy it first.
>>
>>52630894
Yes, you are right, you can't put "the local hunters notice the trail of blood-drained corpse leading to your Haven" in dice mechanics. Well you could but it would suck ass.
I was referring more to the fact that you never get to, or care about, roleplaying the degeneration into a Wight on a failed Conscience roll or conscience biting you hard on a success. A supposedly big and emotional part of your personal horror story relegated to a chuck of the dice.
About Mage though, you could certainly integrate Paradox into the narrative rather than having it as a pure mechanic. Paradox is supposed to be caused by Paradox spirits, minor or ajor characters who are watching your Mage and deciding when he has fucked up enough. Though it's true that's a bit more work than any ST would want, probably.
>>
>>52631203

>Yes, you are right, you can't put "the local hunters notice the trail of blood-drained corpse leading to your Haven" in dice mechanics. Well you could but it would suck ass.

Yeah, that's one of those things that sorta irks me with mage. If you want to threaten a mage, you need a mage so it really limits the number of threats the group can reasonably have.
>>
>>52631258
There are ways around that.
I've generally found overwhelming force, or playing against the Mage's weaknesses works well too.
>>
>>52629316
Yeah, I have a bit of a problem with keeping focused. On the scale of GM sins I feel that that's not that bad though. Anyways, I'm going to try to improve that this game, since it'll be easier to follow the players (stupid) plans. (My current game that's wrapping up is Mage, which means that there are a massive number of options available, which makes it harder to follow along)
>>
>>52628547

What are the best splats for getting CoD/WoD fluff?

I've read CoD's WoD a while ago, and I re-read the opening short story again today and I still love it and this book, not so much for the rules, but for the feeling the short stories hit on.


I'm planning to read nWoD, CoD and VtR2e for the short stories, as well as VtM, are there any other books that I should read?

I don't know. I'll still take the 1E over 2E where everything looks interchangeable because they're re-using artists as much as possible and can't be bothered to actually give each game line its own artistic flair.

Hello again, best White Wolf art ever created.
>>
>>52630858

I'm personally not a fan of the standard fuck you track and prefer the Harmony model. I'm currently rewriting wisdom to reflect Hubris and Detachment - the former is already explained, but i'm flavoring it more towards the fallen world, where as detachment causes a mage to be all "fallen world is irrelevant, imma leave my body behind and journey out to the astral plane, peace."

This of course turns the inert body into a hard to destroy magic vacuum, which will lead other mages to either try to destroy it through mundane methods or try and get mind and soul to come back.

>>52632920

I played a 'walker once who became obsessed with discovering "the secrets of the soul" as an outgrowth of his studies of Death and Spirit so he could just pop a soul back in after putting it out of joint.

This led me to a Tremere, who revealed that 1. 'Walkers were beneath his notice because we weren't "real reapers" and 2. We were useful tools for easy feeding, and that my efforts to not do lasting harm made a soul more "sustaining"

Cue anti-heroic BSoD, followed with "But i assume you had a question for me?"

Mage is absurdist, that's key to actually "getting it."

>>52633149

I'd prefer if most Consiili regarded Echo Walkers as "Questionable" as opposed to "Verboten." It makes the slippery slope of the legacy harder to see. This could be compounded by most of them seeing themselves as "one of the good guys" and otherwise acting accordingly.

Do you know how certain people talk about creativity without ever going into specifics and can't really explain their process or produce any evidence they're actually creative?

Imagine a whole game line about that.

In Dreaming you play some sort of half human half faerie hybrid trying to 'balance their too sides out' without fluttering off into dreaming aether or becoming so banal you have no inspiration. Is that too vague? Don't take it up with me, take it up with the game authors.

The game as a whole doesn't sit well with being in the same universe as the other splats due to being rather cheery. But people who wanted a cheery game were disappointed due to how superficial it was. Paraphrasing a quote from the 1d4chan article on it.

Think of it like political parties. Main difference is that Covenants are not like Sects in a sense they're not uniform or under some global leadership. And they don't have to be represented equally or at all in each city, which is somehow I've witnessed for myself when STs try to make up nonsensical scenarios to have all the Covenants present all the time. You don't have to do this.

Yup. I'm planning a local conflict in with

2. Lancea Sanctum with was the largest covenant in the neighborhood but denied power until now wants to take the control over the domain with Inqusitor trying to get rid of Bishop in the mess that is sure to ensue.
3. Ordo Dracul is reduced to like one member and CoC is wiped out after events of my last campaign but the Belials Brood that used CoC as a front is going to mess things up further
How does that sound for basic premise?

It changes nothing, the damage of any significant source of electricity deals damage per turn (usually enough to wrap you into lethal outright) and you probably can't get away due to muscle spasms so it hardly needs increased damage when wet, it would just over complicate a system that doesn't really use dice rolls and just straight kills you anyway.

Yes, and every time its Caine fags arguing using fan fiction and spreading lies, with Mage posters actually citing sources.
>>
>>52638427
Anti-magic still works against mages, just not against those proficient in Prime, which is at least 1/5 of the mage population.

On the other hand, most non-Mage splats aren't going to specialize in anti-magic to begin with, while 1/5 of mages already do so automatically.

Reminder that you don't need to use Prime exclusively to counter anti-magic of the other lines.

Fate can counter a changeling's anti-magic, as an example.

Because masqueradefags believe their splat should be at the highest end of the power spectrum. It doesn't matter if a run of the mill werewolf would absolutely destroy the average vampire, they just point to Methuselahs Antes and say they win. They want to be to say the same thing about mages but can't as long as archmages are a thing.

Agreed. If they'd lay off the inversion and trying to subvert the narrative they're trying to do to make themselves look smarter the book would have been a lot better.

They should have worked with the trapped in a narrative thing, where Beasts are compelled to do Bad Things. Make Beasts and Heroes doomed to retread the same paths against their will again and again. Both being stuck in Fate's loop, both damned. That is, if they intended to keep Beasts Good.

Otherwise they should have just horrored it up, without the stupid LGBQT Narrative that implies Autists HAVE to cause harm.

She was also the author of this, if I recall correctly:

Actually, someone else pointed out some really, really interesting things from Melanie's stat block. First off, she has Integrity 3. That doesn't mean anything itself, but then look at her Social skills, and we get "Empathy (Finding Insecurities) 3." Her character write-up doesn't say, but from that, it sounds a hell of a lot like she was already exactly the sort of bully you'd expect to become a Hero. That doesn't mean she deserves what happened to her, but it strongly suggests that, yes, there is a certain sort that becomes Heroes beyond just "low Integrity" and Melanie was one of them, rather than having it forced on her by that nasty Beast when she'd never done anything wrong.


And got banned from rpg.net for harassing people on social media.

>“My bad,” said Antonio. Eve said nothing. Antonio didn’t wait for acknowledgement, he just turned and went back to his game.
Eve reached out and grabbed him by the hair. She pulled, using only a fraction of her true strength, and yanked him backwards into her arms. If we were in the ocean, she thought, I could crush him. I could eat his skin and liquefy his flesh in my mouth, and drink him slowly. The thought appealed, and started to call her home.

Prime doesn't work against abyssal shenanigans. Good luck contacting/convincing an abyssal entity to work for you if you're any other splat.
>>
>>52641853
Another example of Mage antagonists being the only reliable threats against mages.
You're only going to make non-Mage players angry.

I'm also fairly certain that it's only the very specific purviews of Prime that can't affect Abyssal whatnot, the 'truth' category being the biggest one.
>>
>>52641839
Not to mention all the other mages that took Prime as their third Ruling Arcanum, and the others that invested in it for their own purposes.

Not a single Arcanum is uncommon by any means.

Interesting fact I noted: the Silver Ladder book mentions the hypocrisy inherent in the Free Council's dedication to democracy, in that the libertines still wouldn't let Sleepers vote on anything. And that system sounded, to me, like the vanguard party of a Marxist-Leninist government. So now I want to play a dedicated Communist mage.
>>
>>52642763

Basically, or something along those lines. So in the case of a car accident you could do a near-miss which might make it happy.

>>52643222

Which is bullshit because the difference between a sleeper and mage is a fundamental state of being.
>>
>>52643411
I'm not saying I necessarily agree with the Ladder... mostly just that I think that it'd be a lot of fun to play a hardcore revolutionary at home with both political/occult social engineering and Seer-bashing.

Geist will hopefully get more attention when 2e arrives. It seems to have a lot more focus with the writer they've gotten for it. He's said it will be the most changed gameline from 1e to 2e, with the spoilers from last year supporting it.

Well, it's fairly blatantly the best option from a purely mechanical standpoint, so the player isn't necessarily That Guy, but you should examine the character and the player's reasons for creating them closely.

Is blood magic (Cruac Theban etc) a good counter against Mages?

What about old World of Darkness like the Tremere and other blood magic users?
>>
>>52645255
They don't operate on the same level field.
>>
>>52645255
True magic (specifically the arcana of Prime) is generally leagues more powerful and versatile.

It's very much the same in OWoD.

That said nothing stopping your GM letting magic from other splats be more potent if it helps facilitate the story.
>>
>>52645161
Is it though?
I mean the character has no money, no haven, has no established mortals to feed from and protect him during the day and is either completely new to vampire society or the city in question.

Seems like just even feeding and suriving the day would be a challenge of its own unless the ST lets you spend the first few sessions just establishing yourself.

It's definitely the option with the highest eventual power potential, but I don't think that necessarily makes it the best, especially if you are playing with a ST that's actually willing to have your characters die before they reach their end state.

Oh shut up you little cunt, you were most likely barely even born back when WoD was in its primacy. Pretending that goth music is all about twinkshits is retarded.

Ah, so they're idiots, easily led by literally anyone around them. Good to know.
