A full year of doing something sixteen hours a day makes you pretty good and speedy, but I have not yet mastered blind accuracy.

/SIGH

Fine. I'll say it.

That's what she said.

I'll show myself out.

I think every breed should have more or less the same amount/types of bonuses, and call the limitations a type of metaphysical edge they can't cross. Take a cue from Werewolves: +3 Strength, +1 Dexterity, +2 Stamina adds up to a total of +6 in their War Form. So maybe a Werebear has +4 Strength, +2 Stamina, or +3/+3, whatever. Give them more and make it higher-powered if it's a concern, but in general, it's just good to keep it all more or less balanced in that respect.

@Sanguine
Bring it. Bears are nothing. NOTHING. I will retaliate with HIPPOS.

Typing on average 90 wpm and being able to get up to 180 wpm comes from mushing.

Fact.

I was just thinking in a similar vein (no pun intended)! The cities themselves could be patchy, with neighborhoods that are full-on Spookyville and others that are super mundane. ("Oh Jesus Kevin, lock the doors and drive faster, we're passing through Hell's Kitchen and I just saw Beelzebub.")

"If there's one thing about Santa Carla I never could stomach, it's all the damn vampires."

This reminds me of a throw-away line from Buffy, where this band is loading up after playing a set at the Bronze: "Man, I hate playing vampire towns."

It would make for a much weirder take on The Warriors. >.>

@Sanguine
Just imagine a hippo flying at you from above like a giant fat murdermachine ready to tear you up so bad you won't even remember what having limbs was like!

@WildBaboons It kinda reminds me of the fringes of my hometown in Nebraska, at least with a bunch of added Canadian slang. I ended up moving to a major metro area (Chasin those big city slams. Ferda.), but I secretly dream of going rural.

Jaysus Christ, figger it out.

I'm not completely sure how this will transfer to a MU*. I mean it sounds cool for a TT of the game with these rules. However, when you have combat and blood; suddenly everyone is a wolfblood. That might actually make people less inclined to play with them, etc. Or it might not be an issue at all. It does seem very Anita Blake-ish.

Banging other werewolves would only be hard because for years in a player's mind it has been a 'law' breech. So that could have some weird drama on the OOC of switch over. Not that it matters as games have all the sex in all the places and all the taboos.

I do like more power. MORE POWER.

Just my thoughts.

I'm not sure what you mean with the former. It's not that werewolves can now bite you and turn you into a Wolf-Blooded. The Lunacy has a SMALL CHANCE of doing so; and any game that wants to avoid pushing this sort of thing on people would probably just House Rule it to 'it only happens to you if you want it to OOC'. It's not a big problem.

@Wizz
Pretty much exactly that, yes, though to have a "pack" we are probably still going to require at least 3 werewolves, the same way we're going to require 3 vampires for a coterie, or 3 Demons for a ring. But yes, you're absolutely right.

I will second this.

There are very few movies that I've been looking forward to for over a year that I don't walk out disappointed in some way. Deadpool was not one of those. I was thoroughly satisfied with this movie. (I saw it three times, so.)

Damn, I need to go for my second viewing. I'm gonna see if I can rope my co-worker into it; if not, I might just go alone. Fuck it.

Very excited for this upcoming sassfest.

yissssssssssss

I don't know. I wouldn't send staff the log of my TS (maybe there wasn't even TS, it was fade-to-black!) but if my character has sex with someone that would trigger a Harmony roll, then it's not really a big deal? "Yo, did the nasty with someone I shouldn't've, roll me some Harmony," isn't tactless or intrusive or attention whorish, IMO.

If the same person does it CONSTANTLY, then yeah, maybe--but I feel like removing that aspect just kind of further works to stigmatize sex in RP. "omg, it's sexual, keep it to yourself!" Like, come on.

I'm not saying staff should have to read logs--if that's the case, that's dumb (though I don't see why staff would feel the need to)--but otherwise it's like: yeah, roll for it, okay, up/down, next.

But nothing can be done about it.

I think the best reaction to this sort of thing is to tell the person this. Just be like, "Look, this kind of soured me because you have no reason to tell me all of these secrets about this sphere and you're not really trying to cloud it in mystery or give it any sort of respect in context, so I'm just gonna go."

Sometimes people get the point. Other times they don't. But sometimes. Just sooooometimes.

Besides, if we do nothing every single time there's nothing can be done because we don't actually do anything.

That poor Android. I love how they absolutely downplay the fact that she's effectively displaying fucking sentience.

@sunnyj said in nWorld of Darkness 1E v 2E:

All I hear about this TS Harmony stuff.

The entire prohibition or stigma of werewolves fucking was so stupid to begin with that its removal in 2E was like the dawn of the third day at Helm's Deep.

They took that out and that's great, but in the new edition, fucking a human is, IIRC, a Harmony trigger towards Flesh (discussion has raged over whether wolf-bloods count).

So if you're a werewolf and you spend a night of passionate, fleshy-fleshy contact with some random human you hooked up with at the bar (or, even worse, suddenly find yourself in a committed relationship with someone who has absolutely no connection to anything spiritual) then that's a trigger towards Flesh--and that makes sense. It doesn't make it a bad thing, it just makes it one more thing that affects a werewolf's day-to-day struggle for balance. It can be an extremely good thing if you're imbalanced towards Spirit.

So the whole stigmatizing of this seems weird to me, especially in this post-TS world we all love to go on and on about where we dfon't judge people's sexual proclivities in their pretendyfuntimes but suddenly decide that if they actually have it mean something to their character and have an effect on their character's progression in a mechanical way, it's "get your TS out of my face omgggggg".

Again, asking staff to read your TS log is stupid.

u guyz r dorbz.

@Arkandel

Ew.
