What's the best way to make a stereotypical necromancer?

>>51678593

Silent Striders.

I don't even like them, but I have to keep my Egyptaboo branding up. The real best Tribes are Shadow Lords, Black Furies, and Glass Walkers
>>
>>51678620
>Silent Striders - While searching for their Tribal Homeland in the Umbra, the Striders discover an ancient evil force known as "Grandmother" that may or may not be Set himself. The Striders, hoping to set the Wyrm and "Grandmother" against each other, willingly fall to the Wyrm, hoping to have the Black Spiral Dancers attack the new enemy. At this time, the Silver Fangs decide to attack the Spirals and the Hungry Ghosts as the Striders are now known. Concerned for their own safety, the Hungry Ghosts turn on their former allies. Owl rejects them as a totem when they fall, and the Hungry Ghosts adopt the Wyrmish form of Bat as their new one.
>>
>>51678644

Is this from something or your weird fanfic? Because Set isn't evil and doesn't map to Grandmother whatsoever; a Kemetic take on Grand Maw would most likely be Apep or maybe an antagonistic Ammut.

>Bone Gnawers - This scenario argues that the Bone Gnawers have been falling to the Wyrm slowly for years. Eventually the Wyrmish Gnawers outnumber the Gaian ones, until Mother Larissa is assassinated. The Wyrmish Gnawers tell the rest of their tribe they can join them or die, a third join, a third are killed, and the other third flees. The Gnawers change their name to the Plague Rats and their totem "Rat" becomes "Plague Rat." Their Apocalyptic method is to unleash a disease that kills a billion humans within 2 months.

Right, the weird thing where they had one of the Tribes fall to the Wyrm.

Were any of the ToJ scenarious any good? I'm trying to remember if I liked any of them other than the "lock your player characters and your major NPCs in a church and have a weird cathartic roleplay while you wait for God to smack you around."

>>51678836
>Silver Fangs - Albrecht convinces the tribal totem, Falcon, to temporarily remove all derangements from the Silver Fangs so that they may see with perfect clarity. Once this has been accomplished, the Silver Fangs march on the Black Spiral Dancer's hives and slaughter them. At first this act is seen as a great victory for the Garou Nation, until the Fangs reveal that they killed the Dancers not in the name of Gaia, but rather because the Fangs have fallen to the Wyrm and did not want the Dancers to compete with them for attention in the eyes of their new master. Falcon realizes too late what has happened: By giving the Fangs absolute clarity, they were able to see how truly hopeless the Gaian cause is, and decide that they should align themselves with the Wyrm instead. They change their name to the Fiery Crowns.

Mechanically disensentivizing people from making certain choices is an important consideration from a gameplay perspective anon.

The fact that thematically appropriate players get "Punished" so to speak is a valid concern.

Shadow Lords - The Lords' Tribal totem, Grandfather Thunder, makes a deal with Gaia that if his Tribe can accomplish a specific task within one year, she will make him a Celestine, and the Shadow Lords will take their place as the leaders of the Garou. However, they fail at their task and Gaia denies this request. Feeling scorned, Grandfather Thunder and his tribe lash out at Gaia, not falling to the Wyrm at first, until they need the support against the Gaian Garou and Spirits. The Shadow Lords are the only tribe who do not change their name when they fall. Grandfather Thunder devours Whippoorwill and the Shadow Lords replace the Black Spiral Dancers.

Yeah, but it feels like that would spoil the fun.

´I'm thinking of making a small campaign for a friend of mine, a Hunter campaign (Because she doesn't like Hunters).

Her arguments against hunters inspired me. Because she definitely has a point, Hunters are easy antagonists and they play off themes of racism, xenophobia, other types of bigotry and small mindedness, and their nature as vigilantes opens them up to killing innocents quite a bit.

Now she also pointed out that vampires, for example, don't HAVE to harm anyone. The relationship can be consensual and even fun for the "victim".

So I want to play with that.
I want to make a little campaign that focuses on that.
I want to make a campaign where she has to deal with the fallout from a "virtuous" vampire (Of course, they'll be slightly more evil than the average player vampire, but mainly because the focus will be heavily on the fallout). the ruined lives of blood dolls and members of the herd and the destruction sewn in the wake of vampiric influence on touchstones.

And I'm thinking that I'll start it in a women's shelter. Where a "Frequent flier" has gone missing without a trace, but since she has a history of doing this the police aren't getting involved, and besides she's just some stupid unimportant girl who's been in and out of the system for a while.

From then on she'll follow the vampire's trail of broken lives, as members of the herds abandoned their lives to be part of what is essentially a broken relationship and a heroin addiction all in one. A relationship with an abusive boyfriend made of heroin.

This is just a basic idea and I need to be told if its terrible, and if you guys have any ideas of what to do with this.

>>51678593
>Hengeyokai - The Beast Courts have always believe in the Wheel of Ages, the theory that universe follows a cycle, and the impending "Sixth Age" is only one of Twelve, that the Cycle will eventually turn back towards the Gaian eras, each slowly getting "better." Some members of the Hengeyokai decide to push the Wheel into the Sixth Age so that it can be over with sooner. This group, known as the "Fatalists," achieve this by awakening Wyrmish Caerns through which demonic hordes pour out, creating a few centuries of Hell on earth before the Seventh Age begins and things start getting better.

Why? Looks like pain-spirits or sadism-spirits to me. Werewolf spirits are naturally fucked up, how would you imagine an embodiment of human suffering looking, in the case of pain spirits?
>>
>>51679552
Go for it. Your friend should see that vamps can easily ruin lives. You wouldn't even have to make the vampire so evil or outright abusive. Blood dolls should face health problems and should suffer in their work and personal lives because of the lack of focus being regularly bled causes. Then of course there's the addiction, which can get a doll killed in more ways than one.

Not only that, but the Beast is always lurking under the skin of even a decent vampire, and is a very big threat to intimate relationships of any kind.

For a vampire to truly to be able to not harm anyone, they would need to just feed on a random stranger once a night (never the same one twice) and then go right back to their haven. Every night.

>Wendigo - A roadblock in Upstate New York leads to a confrontation between the National Guard and some armed Native Americans, resulting in the death of thirteen indigenous people. Outraged, a group of Wendigo use the Umbra to board and hijack a Nuclear Sub, and nukes Buffalo. At this point the Wendigo have not fallen to the Wyrm, but when they reveal to the other Garou tribes that they are responsible for the attacks and the hijacking of the sub, the other Garou declare them fallen, and declare war on them, attacking as they attempt to perform a sacred annual rite. The failure of this rite draws Great Wendigo into a Rage, and he is corrupted by the Eater-of-Souls, turning the Wendigo into the Wyrmish tribe, the Devourers.

>>51679743
You've outplayed me, I guess I have to make something up for a fallen tribe scenario.
>Croatan - Although annihilated physically and spiritually on both a tribe and individual level, bits and pieces of the Croatans' souls drifted deep into the Umbra and coalesced. This new gestalt creature consumed banes, growing powerful and corrupt. The Croatan is a creature with a single consciousness but many spirits. Technically speaking the Croatan creates Fomori but from a practical perspective it re-creates Croatan garou of homid and lupus varieties. The Croatan seeks an ancient fetish but also stop to slaughter garou along the way but they will not harm Wendigo or Uktena unless attacked. Although the Croatan is (are?) definitely tainted by the Wyrm it (they?) do not cooperate with Wyrmish servants such as Black Spiral Dancers. Some garou believe that they are servants of a self-destructive aspect of the Wyrm, while the optimistic (or naive) posit that they are actually servants of small part of the Wyrm that retained its sanity.

Sorry it's shit.

So reading over the Ephemeral Entity rules for Ghosts, I just wanted to check my understanding of a few things.

1. A Ghost's base condition is Anchor, something which for them is set at the moment of Death, and without Magic can only be created temporarily by a Rank 4-5 Ghost using its Influence (Anchors) 4 to temporarily create one.
2. Given that they must modify Anchor in order to access later Manifestations, Ghost are incredibly limited in who they can possess (again, without Magical help), and are more likely to use Materialization (given they just need to be near their Open Anchor to use it)
3. When they complete their Unfinished Business (which removes their Anchors?), or lose all of their Anchors some other way Ghosts translate immediately to the Underworld.
4. Ghosts returning from the Underworld, by whatever means, are devoid of the Anchor Condition, meaning that they likely can't use their Manifestations (bar temporarily using Influence 4), and usually must rely upon Numina, in addition they have a very short lifetime in the physical, as they'll be burning Essence each hour just to be present, which will go ever faster as they use their abilities.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, that's the stuff I want to highlight. The consequences for those around them, and the fact that ultimately this dangerous even if its unintended, making people cattle still makes them of humanity even if you treat them well.

Do you have good ideas for what to throw in there?
I'm thinking I'll have my friend track the initial chraracter down, and each little thing uncovers either a bit of background (Their background as a college student with a bunch of friends, their initial thrill and experiences with the vampire, their slow alienation from everyone, and then more degradation and ruination of the characters.)

But I'm lacking some good ideas for how to do that, and what else to throw in.

Yeah, the Wyrm has its own mini-triat of three 'heads'. Beast of War, Eater-of-Souls and Fucker-whose-name-I-Forgot.

They're like the biggest, most powerful spirits that make up the Wyrm's soul hierarchy. Exalted actually took a lot of notes from WtA and the Umbra for its setting ideas, especially with the Primordials.
>>
>>51681494

M20 is bad, W20 core is good but certain books (especially Changing Breeds) is very meh when you can just use the Revised material, and stuff like Shattered Dreams is very take with a pinch of salt because its basically ascended fanfiction.

V20 has mostly been good!

No that was just WW during its hayday. Some books were pushed out under very short, tight deadlines, and often times they poorly coordinated who was writing what. Often times you'd get writers on the same book who never even communicated.

Exalted was even worse about this, especially during its 2e run.

Well, the "Fucker" part is thematically accurate.
>>
>>51681527
I still don't know why they decided to pull the pin. It was just a massive tantrum that made zero business sense. When fans told them so on the old forums, they went full OPP and started indignantly proclaiming that "end world scenarios" had been such a huge part of the backstories of the games for so long that "everyone should have had plenty of time to get used to the idea". Basically the same smug, condescending bullshit they pull now when people question their bad decisions and they'll do anything but admit it as such.

Games Workshop stores pulled their books from the shelves, citing that they wouldn't take part in "financial suicide". By the time the "New World of Darkness" and Requiem launched, everyone assumed the company was defunct. There was a sense of "but why do we even need a NEW world of darkness?" Sales never reached the levels they once had. The damage had been done....

I have only skimmed it, some parts of it could be cool but if you're fluent with the history and metaplot of WtA it might not be to your taste.

Bottomline is its not canon and I wouldn't use it to argue canon, which I'm sure some nerds will do.

But they specifically weren't corrupted by the Wyrm until the other werewolves fucked up their ritual

So they weren't corrupted and yet still used a fucking nuke which is pretty much raw Wyrm juice and corrupted a huge area. Do you see how retarded this is?
>>
An idea I have been kind of rolling around in my head. Fanbook for a new race, Berserkers. The biggest flaw I see to the idea is that Hunters or Werewolves already cover that area and I don't think there is enough Berserker lore to build a proper book out of.

>Every werewolf tribe has its traditions, legends, and customs. From the tales of lordly Silver Fangs to the debased Black Spiral Dancers, and from the isolated Siberakh to the long-dead White Howlers, those legends live on. Part of that culture comes across through each tribe’s attitude towards food.

>This book is a first for the World of Darkness, providing both extra background details on each tribe of Garou and a tasty recipe that’s representative of the tribe. Many of them come with variations for feeding those Garou and Kinfolk who hold to vegetarian or vegan diets, or are gluten-intolerant. Storytellers may want to use the W20 Cookbook as an in-character prop, or as inspiration to cook something for their players before the game begins.

>The W20 Cookbook contains:

>Twenty recipes for tasty dishes, one for each tribe of the Garou.
>Recipes range from entrees to desserts to snacks to eat on the run.
>Examinations of how each tribe approaches food, and how even the Red Talons can enjoy a cooked meal.

None of their games were pulling in as much money as used to in the 90's. I suppose the writing was on the wall since Ends of Empire, yet they did nothing to reawaken interest in their games, even with Bloodlines in development. The head honchos thought this was because of all the newbie unfriendly fluff and hard to get rules (not realizing that lore vomit and obtuse rules are the two hallmarks of WoD), so they decided to let it go out with a bang and start anew, simpler this time.

>Games Workshop stores pulled their books from the shelves, citing that they wouldn't take part in "financial suicide".

Ironic.

Their tribebook had 1 to many rites about garou fucking. The it had a childish moment in which an ELDER garou (which was the author gmpc) said to a cub or cliath that his homosexual relationship with another garou was fine and that the other tribes "just dont get it". The elder of a peace keeping/diplomat tribe told another young garou that going on flaunting a technical violation of the precets of a bunch of murderous religious fanatics is fine because they "dont get it".

Is it really a religion when their spirits, totems, and Gaia actually exist? As well as the great cosmic satan that they fight on the daily?

Yes, because they assign wants and desires to a non present God (Gaia) and insist their laws are derived from a higher power.

They have cited before that the decision to end the OWoD with the end of the world scenarios, and develop the NWoD, came from a business standpoint and a writing standpoint. It was stated a couple of times by old writers that they could only poke at EotW scenarios for a while, and they'd written so much... and so much of it was counter-intuitive, contradictory, and convoluted that they decided to pull the plug. NWoD was meant to be a 'fresh start' with less bloat, a toolkit setup so that you have less One True Wayism and simpler rules using streamlined, updated versions of their regular rules.

Like the idea that we chow down on 8 spiders or whatever supposedly stems from this one source right, but some people looked into that source and that's a fucking hoax too.
It's like a fucking meta hoax.
>>
>>51682663
The best protein sources are all vegan, but the problem is that they're not really as available in a non-industrial setting.

So sure you'd have easy fucking access to a bunch of protein if you are close to a city, but if you're out in the wild you're fucking screwed.
Short of someone packing a fucking backpack of beans.

So since we're on a Werewolf bent, I would like to get some input on the Werewolf cub PC I have been building. Here's some info on him, I'd love to get an opinion (Even if said opinion is LOLNO).

James Keaton, conspiracy theorist and conspiracy blogger, lost cub of the Glass Walkers. Born to a mortal family who were Kinfolk without actually being culled into the Glass Walkers, James grew up in a very sheltered life with an overprotective mother and a distant, government lackety father. He grew up with a sense of paranoia about the world around him; he is intelligent and observant, but his own natural paranoia turned this into a constant fear that the government and corporations were doing things after his father died mysteriously. He delved a bit too heavy into the corporate and governmental conspiracy angles and, while not full /x/, he did alienate himself from others. Unfortunately, some of the research he did poked a little too close to a Pentex subsidiary that WAS involved in a conspiracy. And... well, the results were explosive. A group coming to take him and his information led to his First Change, where he was then drawn into the world of the Garou. He's only been a Garou for a couple of years (he was a late bloomer at 17), and he still sees the issues all around him. Many of the garou refer to him by his 'deed name,' Tinfoil. He puts up with it because, now, the garou are the only thing he feels he can trust... at least, until he realizes the conspiracies within THEM as well.

James is a Homid Ragabash Glass Walker.

Given their belief in animism the only ethical way to eat is willing prey spirits. Its literally more in line with veganism than actual vegans who slaughter (unwilling) plants and animals for their food gathering.

>>51682833
They want to be hunted, and are sometimes smart enough to give consent on that front.
Which sort of eliminates like a lot of the ethical questions.

They also don't pollute or take up resources in their creation, removing a bunch of others

There's no industrialized process.

There's...

That was a very good Vampire scenario. In fact, I think it's possibly the best Vampire scenario I've ever read. Forget all the Caine stuff and so on: the whole point is that vampirism is a curse from God, and God is taking his curse back.

Mage: The Ascension had one long, elaborate scenario that wrapped up the entire metaplot. Arguably, it's the most uplifting ending, because EVERYONE Ascends at the end. It also turns out that the entire story of Mage: The Ascension was actually caused by Ascension itself.

Basically, *everyone* is right and all paradigms can co-exist without difficulty. But at the same time, they all acknowledge the same universal truth.
>>
>>51682718

Never because when i change metaplot, if i use it, i worked into the setting and i put those changes on the front before hand when pitching a game.

Before starting the game i say "in this game this tribes/clans are allowed, this isnt going to be a globe trotting game and caitiff in this city are almost considered a clan for this reason in tune for the setting or in this game the ascension war was lost but i am not using the avatar storm. Or even in this game there isnt any stargazer but anyone can learn kailindo"

This is mostly because the other scenarios are really, really bad. Like the one where the players end up fighting Lilith, or the very last one where it's the apocalypse and diableire becomes a way of life.

Those scenarios basically turn the game into splatterpunk horror. Vampire can't really be played like that without breaking the game in fucking half. At least the church scenario lets them go out with dignity.

Granted, most of the information on the downsides of raised soy intake is from rodent studies, but hey. Still does not help with the whole farming soybeans to death and spraying them with pesticides and not rotating crops properly thing.

In truth the best answer is a well-balanced diet of proper animal proteins and plenty of plants bought from local low-pesticide farmers to support non-industrialized farming in your area. But how many people can do that? And how many people have better access to meat than they do complete plant proteins? I'm all for meatless mondays and reducing industrialization of meat but throwing meat out the window entirely will always seem like useless moral handwringing to me.

Which is why we should all use nuclear power and keep our own animals, but sadly the world is no longer set up to let one of these be possible. Which is why I said I'm against industrialized meat. Responsible farms that don't just have their methane-spewing cows sitting in hovels, and reduced meat consumption overall, would be awesome. This would reduce the impact of animal-based agriculture. You ever see a nice, old-timey pig farm? They're beautiful. Besides the obligatory mud-pit.

I'd love for people to have to drive out and kill a cow to get their damn meat. God knows I have.

Wild pigs actually do okay, although their numbers are a problem.

Either way, the obvious choice here is to breed less of them, regardless of your stance on veganism it's simply something we'll have to do anyway at some point.
The only question is if we stop breeding them entirely, or if we just vastly reduce the breeding programs.

We're not talking "Meatless mondays" here.
We're talking consuming less than a quarter of what we currently do, and that's assuming no population growth, and that cultures that don't consume as much meat sa the west don't up their meat intake.

Anon, going vegan would reduce your resource use to a 16th in terms of land use and similar.
With current population trends, that means we could sustain the theoretical projected maximum population in terms of food stuff.

We have got a fuckton of other problems with population, but this is a fixable one.

I dont know, i always felt Apocalypse is the one giving you the better sandbox experience when run right.

Forsaken though? It begins and ends with the hunt. You hunt a spirit, a host, a claimed, humans, pure...maybe a fallen forsaken or fallen forsaken and maybe a concept. You hunt an indigam....thats about it for the game. Its all about hunting for good and bad because Chrods likes to tell you how your character MUST feel and in forsaken he must think everything around the hunt.

Indian, Thai, Japanese, Indonesian, or Malay?

>Is that some kind of Silent Strider lodge?

It is now.
>>
>>51683693
No, magefags are still the worst. Werefags are gay as fuck, but at least they don't go out of their way to shit on other people.
>>
>>51683800

Middle Eastern curries are best with Thai close behind.

Unpopular opinion: Indian curry is kinda lame, and Tikka Masala is a little gross.
>>
>>51683798
The only people who talk extendedly about 'going vegan' are vegans. There's a very loud one here.
>>
>>51683800
I like Japanese curries because I'm a little bitch when it comes to spices
>>
>>51683814
>but at least they don't go out of their way to shit on other people.

I don't understand. Why play Ascension for any other reason?

Anon, this is retarded.

You guys respond in 3s to every post that talks about veganism, and then give the vegan shit for posting about it.

Why haven't mages fixed the meat problem?
>>
>>51683863
Meatmancers won't let them

>>51683818
I didn't know there was such a thing as Middle-Eastern curry.
>>
>>51683845
>I don't understand. Why play Ascension for any other reason?

I just like throwing fireballs not discussing my paradigm plans to socially fix the world.

Or if we going to Awakening
I just like throwing fireballs not this weird symbolism bullshit of tremero and tamales or whatever that shit of astral is about.

If your town has Persian or Afghan food you get your ass down there and you treat yourself to the best cuisine on the fucking planet.
>>
>>51683863
Actually, is there anything about like... industrial scale magic?
Like a factory pumping out magical stuff, or like an entire grow lab of magical plants made with Life?

GUYS LETS POUR ROSEWATER IN EVERYTHING.
GUYS ROSEWATER IS THE BEST SPICE.
ALSO LET'S PUT A LITERALLY MICROSCOPIC AMOUNT OF SPICE IN STUFF, THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING ABOUT A FOOD.
>>
>>51683845
And this is the attitude that nobody likes you for. Vampire is a better asshole splat, since they own being an asshole. Mages are just the pretentious ones who act like total twats then claim they're the best people ever.
>>
>>51683900
You know, I don't even know why I didn't think of that.
>>
>>51683894

That's what Eberron hinges on, if you wanna play one of the best D&D settings.

>>51683905

YOOOO ROSEWATER IS GOOD SHIT I'LL EAT FIRNI UNTIL I GET SICK GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY FACE

AND THAT MICROSCOPIC AMOUNT OF CARDAMOM IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT COOKS OFF QUICKLY AND CAN BE OVERPOWERING
>>
>>51683839
I like Indian and Malay the best but Japanese is good too, especially the tonkatsu prawn tempura combo, try creamy curries like Korma they're milder.
>>
>>51683891
Interesting I'll give it a shot. I'm really big on east african these days. All the Somali refugees in my city are opening up restaurants and the food scene is amazing.
>>
>>51683906
>Mages are just the pretentious ones who act like total twats then claim they're the best people ever.

I fail to see how Mages aren't the best people ever, in all honesty. Vampfags have always been jealous and upset about being second best outside of sales. Hurhurhur.
>>
>>51683964

I had some pretty dope East African food last week, they have a stall at the farmer's market that I almost always ignore in favor of the atamajakki classic: a gigantic Vietnamese iced coffee and spicy Turkish chicken kebab.
>>
>>51683863

Why mages didn't fix the 'Great Problem', with 'Final Solution' yet?
>>
>>51683905
YOU LIKE CARROTS AND RAISINS?

NO?

WELL FUCK YOU FAGGOT IT'S GOING IN EVERY GODDAMN DISH.

WANT SOME PEPPER?

TOO BAD ALL YOU'RE GETTING IS POMEGRANATE POWDER.
>>
>>51683931
WHEN THERE'S A 0 AFTER THE DECIMAL POINT IN YOUR MEASURING OF THE SPICE, ITS NOT FUCKING RELEVANT.

0.01 GRAMS OF FUCKING INFINITY CHILI WOULDN'T CHANGE SHIT.

GHEIMEH IS PRETTY GOOD, BUT THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE IT'S CLEARLY AWARE OF THE FACT THAT ITS GARBAGE FOOD.
>>
>>51683906
I'm fairly certain the only real reason people loathe Mage is because it's the most powerful splat out there. Their antagonists are existential terrors and they need a higher standard to deal with them.
>>
>>51683818
You shut your whore mouth!!
>>
>>51678495
Why does this general have so much non WOD art.

Does anybody actually use WOD to run these other settings?

I'd be inclined to run Constantine with Witchcraft, if anything, with Ghosts of Albion as my second choice.

I might also see GURPS, because of its many magic systems.
>>
>>51684090
Because despite what that Scandinavian faggot thinks most people associate WoD with urban fantasy.
>>
>>51684090
It seems like running an MtG game would work well.

I've been interested in straight fantasy WoD games but I can't really find any info/inspiration for it.
>>
Meat is murder!

Tasty, tasty murder.... yum

#OmnivoreSupremacy


Also, why should mages fix this alleged "meat problem?"

Mages have all the meat they need. I just don't see any problem at all. If those dirty sleepers have issues with meat, that's their problem.
>>
>>51684128
Innistrad Hunter the Vigil, yeah.

I can't think of much else.
>>
>>51684148
I am currently in a game of hunter the vigil in innistrad and it works pretty great
>>
>>51684124
But it's urban fantasy with a very specific setting attached to it. It's not remotely setting agnostic, unless you stick to the mortals supplements, in which case the rules for supernaturals are highly specific/peculiar or unavailable.

>>51684128
Are there can supplements I'm unaware of to make it better suited for fantasy?
>>
>>51684124

Well....

WtA/WtF is pretty goddamn fantasy, and can often be urban as well. Mage is basically fantasy at its core.
>>
>>51684164
Really? Me too, that's why I mentioned it. Tons of fun. Pre, during or post Eldritch Moon?
>>
>>51684222
post eldritch moon
>>
>>51684148
Well, there's Innistrad for hunters, vamps, weres, and ghosts

Lorwyn/Shadowmoor for fae and you could also work in wyld and wyrm spirits

Dominaria in the aftermath of The Brothers' War, like Ice Age, could be a cool WtA game. There's also the early invasion where Urza started pumping out war machines
>As time went on it became harder to distinguish between Urza's means and Phyrexia's ends.

Homelands (which has some good flavor) can actually accommodate all the oWoD splats.

Pre-Eldrazi apocalypse Zendikar could be an interesting VtM game

Alara could be great for really focused games (Technocrat game in Esper, Hunter game in Grixis, Werewolf game in Jund)

>>51684182
>Are there can supplements I'm unaware of to make it better suited for fantasy?
Eh, there's the Bygone Bestiary? Maybe the Dark Ages as well. Both oWoD.
>>
>>51684288
Yeah, I've seen/played those. I thought maybe people had made some good fan supplements.
>>
>>51684208
'Personal horror' isn't a genre imo. It's a theme in a campaign. A successful story has to be more than players jacking off over how much it sucks to have superpowers.
>>
>>51683967

>Vampfags have always been jealous and upset about being second best outside of sales.

This just vibrates with truth.
>>
Is there actually anything good in Freak Legion or is it just an edgefest?
>>
>>51684504
You already know the answer to that question anon.

Are we still talking about this?

It has a nice cover.

Seriously though, I was elbow deep at times. It was like the muppet show.

Going to try Ascension.

Revised or M20?
>>
>>51684914
Revised, M20's a shitpile.
>>
I don't know why you faggots or Dracula think that horror and urban fantasy are mutually exclusive. The two flavors of WoD are clearly both. It's urban fantasy horror.
>>
>>51685058
Go fuck yourself

>>51682569
Enjoy those supplements cuckboi

Wrong

Why must you lie?

Real life Husband/Wife want to play a couple in an upcoming game. I'm okay with this they're decent people.

However they want to play a cross-splat forbidden love situation.

How much of a shit show is it going to be if I let them go through with this.
>>
>>51685807
>cross-splat forbidden love situation.
Between what and what
>>
>>51685807
depends on them desu, remind them theyre not playing an erpg, and make sure there love has real ramifications on them and the part, hatfield and mccoy, romeo and juliet conflict; even if its not the focus of the campaign.
>>
>>51685807
What are the splats?
>>
>>51685847
desu
>>
>>51685870
son of a bitch
>>
>>51685807
Is your game a cross-splat game? Are you comfortable running that and, if it comes up are they prepared for the consequences? If so, go for it.

If you answered 'no' to any of those questions, don't.
>>
>>51685807
>>51685846

Vampire and Mage. What else?
>>
>>51685996
>vampire and mage
Ehh yeah sure that's not like that insane or anything.

What if the Vampire has a lawn chair fetish?
>>
>>51685807
>However they want to play a cross-splat forbidden love situation.
Depends on the splat.
Vampire/human, even vampire/werewolf is fine. Werewolves go with anything.
>>
>>51686100
>Werewolves go with anything

Keep lying to yourself, Anon.
>>
>>51685996
Winner winner chicken dinner. It's going to be a Mage game but we've done cross-splat games before and it's not been an issue before.

Can you guess what she wants to play?
>>
>>51686223
A Vampire with a lawn chair fetish?
>>
>>51686243
probably not. its a mage game, not a white room with murky reading of the rules.
>>
>>51686285
just need matter 4, gnosis 3
matter/gnosis 3 if you don't mind it being a shitty lawnchair
>>
>>51686169
>Implying everything doesn't want the knot
>>
>>51686325
>matter/gnosis 3 if you don't mind it being a shitty lawnchair
You only need Gnosis 1-2 for Matter 3.

Mortal remains may be one of the worst optimized pdfs I've ever seen. My brand new desktop takes a second to load some of these pages, cause yeah it's a great idea to stack hired images under the text area that are covered over anyway. Fucking lord.

She should have had some goals too. Like maybe she got into law school and the acceptance letter was in her stuff, Show that the vampire not only ruined who she was, but who she could have been too.
