Which fictional characters first come to your mind when you think of the splats in CoD in? Not necessarily the the most powerful or well known.

For example, I think of Harry Dresden and John Constantine when I think of Mage, as they represent opposite ends of the Wisdom spectrum.

5th Edition, you mean? NuWW considers V20 a proper 4th Edition. It's expected in mid-2018, and we shall see. They are updating everything in expectation of having the backstory there for their true goal with the WoD, a AAA video game and potential Netflix series.

Is there any system similar to the Storyteller? Since I started playing VtM I can't go back to D&D, with it's number crunching, "roll to take a dump", "Oh, look, yet another fight!" system.

Unisystem works well, particularly the version in the Angel RPG (Unisystem Cinematic).
Witchcraft RPG (runs Unisystem Classic)

I think Harry and John would actually be pretty similar levels of Wisdom, all things considered. Harry hasn't done terribly much that would lose him Wisdom in the CofD, but in his setting he's used tons of magic that would come close to their equivalent of left-handed, like necromancy and demon summoning, breaking oaths, things like that. He's also destroyed a fuckton of shit with vulgar magic. He means well, but high Wisdom he is not. Unless you mean to say that John is high Wisdom. Which I'm fairly sure he isn't.
>>
>>54359048

Aside from the other suggestions, One Roll Engine might be the best system for someone who doesn't want to stray too far from Storyteller, at least in terms of d10 dice pools.
>>
I'm gonna include the Ark of the Covenant as a plot device eventually in the game I'm directing (since the characters will visit Ethiopia). Considering the importance of abrahamic lore in Masquerade, is there any mention of the Ark in oWoD lore?

Actually, if it's mentioned in CoD I can adapt and use it too. If there's not a single mention I guess that Indiana Jones and my own imagination will have to suffice.

No thanks, not for me. I don't see the appeal. Also, a ghost and a ghost-hunter, really? How do you spin that one?

I meant that Harry is more impulsive (which is usually bad for Wisdom) while John is more cunning (which is usually good for Wisdom). They often switch around, though.

>>54358905
>playable pedophile
People still think this?

Amelina is definitely monstrous, but not a pedophile. She was embraced at 40 and is now pushing 120 - obsessed with youth she'll never regain and feeding from sleeping children to savor their dreams. That information can be found from the scenario itself. Her obsession with her childe, an adult man embraced at 30, is not stressed on her sheet as much as it is in his.

She still doesn't kiddy fiddle. She has killed multiple kids, but her sexual preferences are not related to them.

Anyone who argues otherwise after the clarification from WWP is a reactionary twat and should go back to RPG.net.

How are owls spooky?
>>
>>54360202
These are shadow owls that possess corpses. Essentially they're a body snatching threat who specifically hates vampires, and vampires being corpses are open to Strix possession. And because they know about vampires (and hate them) even if they are stealing a mortal corpse before it decays they can cause problems.

They have some cool potential but the book doesn't really use them all that well. A few of the example Strix characters are cool though and with a bit of imagination you can use them as terror birds too!
>>
>>54360202
They can fly (almost) silently, can see you better than you see them, and happily vomit.

If you need to make it supernaturally spooky, exaggerate the above. Make them fast and silent, even when walking. Have them stare at seeming nothing, as though they can observe that which we cannot. And when they return to their nests, have them vomit up a person, still alive and conscious, to be eaten by it's young.

Ever heard of them turning their heads 160 degrees? If it dies, have the owl's body twist endlessly and unnaturally in in torturous rigor mortis!.
>>
>>54359257

Off the top of my head, Apocalypse World, Monsterhearts, Urban Shadows, The Sprawl, Night Witches, Monster of the Week, Blades in the Dark, and Maskd are all good, while a friend swears by Legacy, and both SCUP and Bluebeard's Bride look promising.
>>

The Erzsébet of requiem are the closest thing, they’re a Daeva bloodline that ages normally (they don't die of old age, but their bodies just keep on ageing until they go into Torpor)

The Stryx are pretty cool. In the theme of 2nd edition where every splat has a worse creature that is similar to the splat characters, the Stryx are shadow birds that feed on blood & possess any corpse. Vampires, being corpses themselves are terrified by this, especially since the Stryx can borrow memories. This makes them terrible enemies that can hide in the population, using the vampires own normal paranoia work against them, like the movie The Thing. The only sign of a Stryx possession is an occasional yellow flash of the eyes.

I really like them & borrowed one for a Hunter game of mine

>i'd complain about it being shit but VtM was already garbage

V:tM was so much "garbage," as just very, very dated. It was groundbreaking in many ways and certainly fun for a time. However, particularly as the WOD grew, the weaknesses in the mechanics became obvious, the metaplot bloated and unwieldy, and most importantly, V:tM became a virtual caricature of the 1990's.

It was a design choice in V20 to just institut small tweaks and streamline the game. It never played completed on nostalgia, and wasn't really intended as a true new edition.

In V5, most expected nuWW (it's not an OPP project) to keep the essence of V:tm, but truly update for contemporary rpg audiences and fix what was broken. Instead, it appears that nuWW wants to double-down on everything wrong with the old editions. It wants to be so "edgy" that I expect to ultimately see more angst, katanas, trench coats and mirrorshades than Shadowrun 1e.

How does fetish making work in Awakening? Do you make a deal with a spirit? Do you capture it and force it? If you make a fetish out of an intelligent spirit, is it a kind of familiar? To keep it happy do you just have to feed it essence?
>>
>>54361040
We have Russian Revolution Demon, but I'm sure every other splat was involved in that era. I wonder what being a vampire was like as the entire social order collapsed into war.

I bet the Carthians had a fucking field day, that actually sounds like a really fun chronicle idea. You're a coterie in St. Petersberg or Moscow in the waning days of the Czars and through the revolution.

>>54361195
Step 1: Reach Adepthood in Spirit
Step 2: Find a hibernating Spirit
Step 3: Find the thing you want to make into a Fetish
Step 4: Cast the Craft Fetish spell, with the duration and Potency you want

It's Withstood by Rank, and you need one point of Potency in excess of that for each level of Influence, and each Numina of the Spirit it's holding, that you want to access.
It has the Spirit's Essence pool, and can recharge Essence from Resonant locations just like the spirit can.

However if it's Essence ever reaches it's Corpus, the Spirit exits hibernation up, and the Fetish breaks. Also if you trigger the Ban, or the Fetish is hit by the Bane, then it also breaks.

So basically, you trap a hibernating Spirit in an item, and get to use it's powers.

>The Revolution brought slaughter to the changelings of Moscow. The Courts there had heretofore mimicked the Tsarist system; one changeling in the Court was a monarch-like leader, protected and served by a small motely of bogatyrs. When the Revolution came, new motleys arrived from other cities, proclaiming that the “Lost Tsar” was a loyalist, and that the bogatyrs were nothing but Huntsmen in disguise. Changelings from outside Moscow aren’t sure how this fight ended, and many are afraid to enter the city and find out.

Turns out shit sucked for Changelings this era.

Don't know the bloodline myself, so this is supposition, but if they go back to their Embrace state after torpor they could get out of the whole why don't you agree questioning that can catch up other vamps. Then they go into torpor and come out looking like someone nobody recognizes.

Season 1 and 2 have 22eps each, plus 16 eps on Season 3. That's a total of 2640 minutes for every 44 minute episode, don't have that time + it doesn't help the fact that one of my players loves the series and will catch me taking shit from it.
>>
>>54361859
Looking it up, they do indeed return to the form they had after Torpor. If a vampire plays the long con right, they could be real cozy in a small town that would usually ask why the local heiress looks exactly the same for years on end.

>If a vampire plays the long con right, they could be real cozy in a small town that would usually ask why the local heiress looks exactly the same for years on end.
I always feel like this kind of stuff is neat to think about. Different perspectives, that is. As players/consumers, we have the privilege of an insider's perspective. We know the ins and outs of all this supernatural stuff, how every splat works, their powers, their structures, all of it. Meanwhile, if you put yourself in the shoes of somebody in the setting, like a regular human or even a member of one splat dealing with another, and just go off what they see, it makes stuff a lot more supernatural and spooky, if not outright horrific.

Not super well! My character got shot down hard, but it was something I knew OOC going in. A lot of what he likes as a person was represented in another PC, so we managed to turn bottling that up into a whole thing for a while before he finally admitted things at the worst possible moment and got essentially an 'ewww gross'.

OOC it was actually a lot of fun, IC he's not doing so hot since mismanagement of personal emotional states is always something of a hallmark

So... you just described Swede Dracula to a "T."

None of that is getting fixed. The horrifying truth is, the game is being rebuild with just a few gimmicky, buzzwordy new mechanics, to give it some nice marketing keywords, for the end goal of putting it on store shelves. But while those little things are being done, the writers are all virtually without editorial oversite, and free to just spew their liberal arts freshman and sophomore year indoctrination social justice garbage to their hearts content.

It's a fucking disaster.

V5 isn't self aware enough to keep the essence of V:tM. V:tM is like the RPG version of an 80s Stallone action movie.

Could a Gnosis / Arcana 8+ Archmage beat one of the True Fae? Probably. Could shit backfire for them and the Fae completely destroy them? Yes.

Mages work better in crossovers if they are entirely hedge mages or some other sort of replacement mages, this is unarguable.

It's a reflection of our own world, you miserable bald tit. If it's all reflected "as though from a mirror darkly" then of course it's going to involve politics. So sorry a contemporary game touched on contemporary issues in a way that triggers you, snowflake. Take your crayons to your safe space and fuck right off.

I suggested a balanced approach. What have you suggested as a solution? Avoiding all politics in games that ostensibly, at a bare minimum, involve factional divisions and *gasp* supernatural politics. Fucking genius. Give this cunt a nobel prize, preferably to the face.

No, because they don't have the power to; but as we've already stated, neither can Archmages, because they're scared little girls, even they they "could".

It's almost as if it fits someone's definition of personal / body horror, isn't it? Almost as if that's the reason why Cain in Alien was a male character despite all the characters in the script never being assigned an explicit gender... but look at me, I'm trying to explain subtlety to a stupid cunt who thinks everyone who disagrees with him is part of a massive left-wing conspiracy.

Oh, "in your humble opinion", you mean? A game about the contemporary world isn't allowed to touch, in any way, contemporary politics and issues, because it makes you cry? A game that has, since the 1st edition of Vampire the Masquerade, stated that the affairs and politics of the modern world were crafted and directed by ancient conspiracies, isn't allowed to comment about what those conspiracies are doing in the face of the current day?

Anyhow, the point in general isn't that politics shouldn't be in your game, we're all going to inject our personal politics at various times, it's that using wordcount on one set of politics isn't fixed by giving an equal voice to the opposing view, it just shouldn't happen.

No.

Seriously. No.

Really, no.

Calling someone a "cunt" in Oz is friendly. Calling someone "mate", in a specific tone, is a warning. "Mad cunt" is a compliment - "sad cunt" is not.

Regarding your argument about politics - devoid of all insults for a second, I think you're being unrealistic. We're talking about a game set in a dark reflection of our own world, not an idealised version of it. Discussing these issues allows us to reflect on them as well as personal morality - and quite frankly, if you think WoD in both incarnations isn't about personal morality you haven't been paying attention.

So? In Europe, leaving the single biggest free market is supposed to protect whitey from the scourge of the impoverished black man. Reality and sensible thought lose out over there, your argument is thirty flavours of shit.

It's only "toxic politics" because you're triggered by it. Don't project your weakness onto other people, you're the brittle little thin-skinned darling that can't handle a fucking roleplaying book suggesting you think about someone else's position for once.

>I'm not trans or gay
>let me speak for them and assume they do it for shits and giggles

yes, you stupid prick, I'm sure that's the reason people strive to assert themselves in such a fashion. People just love being gay bashed and discriminated against by small minded kraut Nazi-rejects like your lily-white ass, because reasons that you cannot specify.

Well now we've established that you're fucking ignorant as well as stupid, do you have anything else you want to be mocked for? Tell me how homosexuality is a modern thing, please, I could use a hearty laugh.

Most people are triggered because it's toxic politics. I don't know how any self-respecting LGBT person could condone the way these books represent them. I mean, have you seen the Free Council art? Read about the trans avenger of the night in Beast? How about the little bald trans person in M20 who is completely anal about their pronouns?

I'm all for representation and inclusion, when it's done right and when it's appropriate and tactful. When it isn't, like how it's done in these books, all it does is widen the rift and create more an "us" and "them" mentality. It's counterproductive.

Is it worth a re-look? Managed to close its doors on me pretty firmly with its dedicated 'Gender, Race, Queerness' part of the first chapter. It's not every day a game tells me so quickly and without a shadow of a doubt that it is not written for me. But I mean maybe the system itself is good, even though seemingly a big chunk of its inspiration came from a place I despise, ie tone deaf identity politics mania. Give me a toolbox, designers, not masturbatory virtue signaling. There is no need to shove down one's throat your hyper progressive out of place bullshit in a genre of game where the whole fucking point is and always was that you can play whatever you want. But yeah, let's remind our readers that different races exist! Brilliant. Sad.

Nope. They instituted "lock-out laws" that forbade serving alcohol in the city centre after ...10 PM, was it?... in a gesture to reduce "one punch kill" scenarios, resulting in the effective death of live music venues and any kind of night life anywhere closer than the Inner West. The violence just moved further into the suburbs.

Brisbane, not to be outdone, started the same lock out laws... with an exemption for the Casino, because bribery.

Melbourne is now growing fast, with a vibrant culture. Sydney is going to end up looking like Gary from Ashes to Ashes at this rate.

You're asking me if I think a company that hired Zak S - a man mostly remembered for his soulless pumping away on top of Mandy Morbid, and certainly not for his "art", when he was hired to *write* - is worried about the optics of a publication like that?

Elricsson is always talking about how we need to accept everyone else in this interest group, how we need to talk about now and how we feel and what makes us human. I call myself a "centrist" because I'm trying desperately to put up with both sides throwing snarl words at me while I try and understand what they're about and get them to talk, because quite frankly, if we don't all start talking to each other democracy is fucked. Yes, I insult people, because this is 4chan and it's only polite. Yes, I'm an obnoxious cunt, but I'm encouraging you to write something like this, and write it WELL, for the sake of a balanced WoD.

False. Blackfellas have white cunts squatting up the coast line, and their rent is 200 years in arrears.

gods at 8 and nine are vastly superior to any single mage not under the practice of assumption. A spell that takes decades if ever to find the right material for. People talk about archmages like they have infinite powers but archmages out of the gate are only slightly better than masters. to control spirits takes imperial spells to cast amazing defenses which most rank 7+ gods can still bypass requires finding the right material.

Even with the material to attempt to turn a true fae into a fire,poker doesn't stop them from having their own ways of loopholing it and still fucking you over.

Archmasters are gimped compared to OWOD ones. No one ever likes to talk about the draw backs or the fact that gods have access to free imperial spells without any paradox issues.

Ummmm, no? They automatically win any and all Clash of Wills with their lessers, their spells cannot be countered by any means and they can boost the common Practices to Imperial heights. It's nearly impossible to kill them, they reflexively pop back into their Golden Road at their whim.

No, really. The mechanics given for 6+ entities in IM s modeled after Masquerade and its past use of Werewolves using Disciplines because they didn't have time to implement every rule. Similar to Mages using Disciplines in V20 for light of explanation.

Dave has mentioned this previously.

Mages with 4-5 dots of Fate can forcer their way in-and-out of the Hedge, perhaps even Arcadia.

Both of those products were originally titled differently.
Plenty of people still call Vampire 2e Blood and Smoke.
>>
>>54374297
That's where you're wrong even if those are just placeholders it means a spirit can essentially manipulate his magic to mimic inperial spells. For free, without quintessence. they can most certainly annihilate any archmage unless the archmage prepared more spells the spirit can counter. And if you read the book it is possible to counter an imperial spell it's just impractical for anything but spirits to do it.

considering IM essentially considers true fae rank 8 entities it would be incredibly hard to tackle one.
>>
>>54374230
>Nothing is safe in the Hedge, anon.
>Once you enter, you can't get out. Not even a mage. Walking through a hedge gate is a contract in itself. You need to play by the rules.

Fate 3 can force open ANY existing gate (and lesser Fate spells can easily locate Hedge gates). [Arcanum 3 can act as a key to any gate or similar phenomena of the appropriate purview, e.g., Spirit and the Shadow, Death and the Underworld, etc.]

Fate 5 can create ex nihlio a gate to or from the Hedge virtually anywhere.

The above doesn't even count what a mage proficient in Fate can do to beings in the Hedge to "persuade" them provide egress or ingress.

>>
>>54374525
An unshielded Mage loses their soul slowly as they traverse the Hedge, which reduces their magical powers by one dot for every length of time they indicated spent in the Hedge (I forget how long).

Mages can use their Arcana to negate this damage if they're aware it exists. They can also use Fate 4-5 to alter the geography of the Hedge to their whims.

Fate 3 should be able to help you deal with most problems

Including existing the hedge at a gate by Weaving it open, Ruling your walking of Hedge-paths into arriving at a Gateway, perhaps Shielding if that's enough to stop the harm to your sould form the thorns, or Veiling to render yourself irrelevant to Fate-dependant Hedge-Beings if you can win CoWs.
Knowing should also be able to tell you what lies at the end of any specific path, or at least the type of path it takes, and Unveiling would probably be able to help you avoid any illusions.
