This game will not be Lovecraftian. Unless some Circle member summons a tentacle monster or something.

RGRTHAT.
Squamous Circle of the Crone Gangrel it is.

I've seen way more hideous crime on MU* (murders, disembowelments, ritual sacrifice, mind control, you name it) than I've seen common real life douchebaggery. No one minds playing a vicious serial killer but they won't play a racist white supremacist or wife beater.
It probably means something but I don't pretend to know what.
- He who takes offense when not intended is a fool. He who takes offense when intended is a greater fool.

@Arkandel I know what my next concept will be.

Bring me Mellissidae!

. I've experienced no God Machine stuff at Fallcoast either. Infact it's rare I see a game that includes it these days. Where /are/ you seeing it? Cause I'm into that shit...
Fallcoast is first edition not second so there is no God Machine to be present.
I know the original RfK has plots that dealt with God Machine stuff, I think Eldritch likely did cause it had demons, though I never played there so that is quesswork on my part. -

My guess is that we like our horror to be things that are safely in the real of the unreal. Yes serial killers exist but they personally impact the lives of very few of people. Where the racist and the wife beater are present everywhere, either someone has experienced it or they know someone personally who has.

God-Machine: Demons make me think of The Matrix.
So now, Demons in GMC are Mr. Smith, and Angels are...uh, The Twins?
Also, Paris Catacombs full of Nosferatu? Fuck yes.
But Mellissidae.
-
Angels are all the other Agents and/or the Adjustment Bureau.
Demons would be Agent Smith or the Oracle or other programs who don't necessarily follow the rules all the time.

I am exceedingly sorry that I tiny little comment that I made and intended as a throwaway derailed this thread so much
-
@Caryatid Are you going full on 2nd edition? Please say yes.
-
I'm not sure it's possible to keep a thread on topic around here, no worries.
We are going full 2e! So far as I know. 1e tastes like burning.
Post-Praxis ruining event, the Nosferatu will have fared best thanks to the Catacombs! There will also be racial tensions, or will have been pre-event, due to heavy Carthian involvement with Northern African immigrants and encouraging of the various student, immigrant and wage slave protests of recent years in Paris.
It's not all peace, love and smooches in the City of Light, it's been a simmering hotbed of tension for awhile now and we'd like to capture that (or, we are capturing that in the news files we've written so far) since we're both news/history junkies.
