    General World of Darkness Discussion Thread QQ Edition

    For the opening fiction, it's literally got several of the characters from the play in it, complete with the bani for their houses at some points. And it has a Flambeau squad of unknown size, but enough that losing three mages and ten custos isn't treated as too horrible a loss. They even have...

    General World of Darkness Discussion Thread QQ Edition

    The book's opening fiction has to start with a nighttime raid or else the falling gargoyle, hole blown in the roof, and art all have some real questions to answer. And while it says that they were told not to rely on magic, they seem to be using extremely little magic or countermagic despite the...

    In mage itself, supernaturals can do basic countermagic except against instant damage type spells (dodge or Per+Awa there) with Wits+Occult generally limited by some other trait. M20 has it as Willpower for Vampires, and has the difficulty as the higher of 7 or Mage's Arete. IIRC, some book...

    I was kind of pithily saying why most don't do something in/near either. The first one has you needing to juggle the nascent Clan Tremere fighting and doing a devastating blow to their old Order while also fighting off the pissed off Vampire Elders in a time when none of these groups were very...

    First Massasa War or second? Because for the first, you're talking about an eighty year span that reduces the Order of Hermes to a shadow of its self and definitively involves the eldest of the Tremere, the consumption of House Tremere at the fangs of Clan Tremere who just has its new Ante, and...

    I did a semi-joke discipline in the SB WoD thread that would help with getting stealthier horses, and this in fact inspired me to scribble down a combo discipline for it based on one of the original inspirations.

    Global cloudflare down

    To the site, the cloudflare outage is probably triggering the same kind of error that it would get when somebody has blocked that bit of the cloudflare services. So even though it's a different reason, it's still bringing up that error because there's no communication from cloudflare.

    General World of Darkness Discussion Thread QQ Edition

    I think the simplest answer would be that somebody associated with the Ventrue revenant line or even just having a lot of power over/because of local ghouls was having a bit of an issue and decided that the trouble the hit listing/killing now might cause later down the line was less than letting...

    That's not my exact area of expertise and I don't have some stuff due to hard drive failures, but I'd say that the vampire probably wouldn't be forced to unless they were already a diablerie addict or could regularly complete the process very quickly.

    I think it was supposed to read card department, which published two game lines AFAIK, Rage and Jyhad. I think both got at least one expansion, not sure though. Rage, incidentally, gave us a metis werewolf called Banana Split.

    I don't think there's anything on the scale of the BSDs, but werewolves are one of my weaker points and my pdfs are currently gone due to hard drive failure. The cyber dogs aren't there, but are pretty bad.

    I have thought of doing a quest where it's a group of five friends who are the rich friend's band/method of rebelling against family in Vegas in the runup to Hunters Hunted but less stupid. With the exception of the first vote (where one of the friends that's not the 'MC' gets chosen to become a...

    There is/was. The person that started the has since essentially left via scrubbing everything so it isn't easy to look for.

    Obviously the MC would have some Fort+Presence combo discipline that lets them get more time with more blood. So that's one big up front expenditure for a lot of time.

    If nothing else you can always throw that one paragraph wonder (2 in Revised and 2.5 in Master of the Arts) and say that it has some relationship to basal reality and the cosmological constants. Toss in a little "Things forgotten aren't necessarily gone" and you have a flexible sounding answer...

    It's never been particularly clear, and there's been conflicting stances on it at different points and places in the lines. And that's excluding things that can blur the line by their nature, like infernal investitures of knowledge. But the easiest way of sidestepping things is to say that it...

    It also does slightly vary by edition/line. Like the first versions of Vampire had Resources 0 be literally on the streets destitute, while V20 has it either that level of destitute or just the most basic of basics because becoming a bloodsucker removes most of the basic requirements for living...

    The only life energy types I can think of that do something to vampires are mummies. Possibly specifically just the ones under the remit of Ra and Horus's crusade, but possibly also others. Their supercharged blood gives temporary Humanity.

    I think the only reason there's not already buff Nos memes from the Str 5 Nos Luchador is because the net was too young then.

    General World of Darkness Discussion Thread QQ Edition

    The Wyrm came over and gave the sleeping kin-slayer a wake up call. It probably sounded something like this. "Rend. Slaughter. Devour your childer. For it is now and now alone that you may surmount all difficulties and become More, O Warden of Illusions." And then the maker of the Ravnos was...
