Yeah, I know Mikey from a lot of places. We used to staff at UU together.

Nope. Because I had some issues (on top of a distraction) and I couldn't log on to BNW without Elsa fucking screaming in my ear about the app. So I was like: fuck that.

I'm the one that almost played Raphael on BNW. Sup, Shreds.

We're also looking at "monsters" from a lot of different angles. Yeah, maybe you burnt out a vampire nest, but what about the reports of a rabid crocodile in the swamps? What about that new werewolf pack? What about that autopsy that found cockroaches inside a man's skull?

What about your mom?

(Too easy.)

@Arkandel I do think this is the idea, at least in part.

Liberal use of Sanctity of Merits to assuage your Allies and Contacts constantly dying should be a thing.

I thought this was going to be American Horror style, where the players may be the same, but there are new characters for each major theme rotation.

I think you mean a different game? There's a horror game that was just advertised here that has exactly that premise, but it wasn't my read of Bump in the Night. I could be wrong, though!

No. You're right, @Pyrephox.

One thing I think would be great for BITN is for each Faction to have a basic reason for people to leave. Maybe they get sent on a mission or whatever. Just give people who want an out for their character that isn't death a reason to disappear for a while. And maybe write in that if a character doesn't log in for an amount of time--say a week straight--they are automatically assumed to have been sent on a brief mission somewhere--until they come back.

No one ever likes my ideas.

That's true.

@tragedyjones & @Pyrephox: I think I might set a goal for 18 months out to get a C:tL game going. Depending, of course, on how long BITN lasts. I don't think the story needs to go more than 18 months, in truth.

sadface You hurt my heart.

Not about the Changeling game - that would be fantastic. But that a mortals game would have an expiration date before it even opens. I can see WHY, and have even said myself that more games need to be willing to let things change and end as appropriate to the game, but still. SADFACE.

18 months is more than enough time to enjoy it, or for it to become something else, or for people to love it so much it gets a renewal on its life.

I think high character death/turnover would help a lot with the last bit.

@tragedyjones Addiction comes in many forms.

Find something to replace it even if it's not as satisfying.

You can poke me for chat or a skype call if I'm around for a distraction whenever.

Says the dude addicted o Skyping with me.

I can quit any time I want.

Man, I love most of that. I love having Lost use Touchstones, the universal contracts, the changes to Wyrd. I'm not thrilled by the changes to glamour harvesting, but honestly, it was needed - as it was, Lost received their power fuel pretty much at no moral cost, which isn't really in tune with the WoD's overarching theme. One thing where they have, I think, missed a major opportunity, though, is in the nature/demeanor analogue. It looks like they're using the tired old Vampire one. With Lost, they REALLY should be letting people pick fairy tale archetypes. My Mask is the Princess, but my Mien is the Grand Vizier, that sort of thing.

Or at least have Mask be a dull human-type archetype and Mien be something fairy-tale ish.

And, while I'm critiquing, use different words. "Mask" and "Mien" ALREADY MEAN SOMETHING within the game mechanics - don't reuse the words to mean something else. That's just asking for trouble.

Yeah, I noticed that, too.

Minor in the wake of @Vorpal's issues--my condolences--but my TV broke. -_- It's supposedly under warranty and it might have been because the power company sent too harsh a charge when they fixed an outage...

But... like...

Fuck. I did not need this.

Lag could wreak havoc on this sort of thing.

You could have coded combat where you decide on a "strategy" per "round" (with three rounds). Best of two wins the fight. Of course, with this, part of the roleplay and fun of the game would become creating interesting "strategies" that you can apply based on your character's stats, etc.

I just printed the shit out of all this stuff on my work printer. >.> Later I might print out Kiths and Seemings, too. I'm making myself a little Changeling 2e corebook, bitches!

I am interested in Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit.

Got in a big fight with my mother last night and now I can't focus because I don't know it is resolved.

Man, I feel you. I hate it when that happens to me.

Situation resolved.

And now to watch the insanity as people don't source, don't check their facts and just spew bullshit.

Does anyone believe there will actually be a 2016 election? I think his plan is working completely and he will declare Martial Law and destroy our Constitution and Bill of Rights will be toast. Then he will start a Civil War. I do know that they ask incoming Military if they would shoot at an American, if they say no, they are gone. We're screwed!!! And we let this happen.
