Paragon for PS4.

I recommend it if you like arena battles, math, and environment-strategy.

@derp Oh lol I was like "Fuck I have a bigger problem than I thought"

I mean.

I like to doubt everything until my doubt can be dispelled by hard facts.

Sure, what is presented is disgusting, if it's true. It's even more disgusting if the accusations aren't true.

So I doubt.

And given the bankroll of the people against Tyson, I doubt that story just as much if not maybe more.

I like all the separation and tribalism of late in the media though, and along social media, it's cute.

"Do you understand the true power of a sovereign? A raw man must kill with his bare hands. The battered warrior, a weapon. The commander, his bellowing voice, the conspirator, a whispered word. But all these pale compared to kingship. A true sovereign need not flex a single muscle in his body, and a hundred men die. A true sovereign may murder without a single impulse, or even intent, sight, breath, or even thought of his murder. He is an idiot indifferent to his own violence. He has sublimed the act of obliteration.

That is the meaning of kingship.”

Interesting idea. So. When a vampire drinks someone dry, they drink up their experience too, right? Considering each Covenant has a method to perceive memories via blood. Can I now go open up Bob, and suck out his 50xp worth of skills and such?

The idea is nice, as an idea. As a game it is too specific, I think.

"Filth stole from us. Not now, not the saar-qamek. Years ago. A simple act of greed has bound me! We are all denied Par Vollen until I alone recover what was lost under my command! That is why this elf and her shadows are unimportant. That is why I do not simply walk from this pustule of a city! Fixing your mess is NOT the demand of the Qun! AND YOU SHOULD ALL BE GRATEFUL!"

(This is why DA2 is the best of them all -- the Arishok; no more, no less.)

The Arishok is the only reason to play that game, and def set the Qunari for me.

DtF is pretty easy to give reasons to group up: The Earthbound, The Things From Before, Or even: A single Man who now controls a Host of Fallen. (Which is easy, and doable, and the Tzimisce Kolduns could easily be said antagonist et voila - Castlevania's Dracula)

@Wretched

My wife says I am a tyrannical hurricane force of chaos that only happens to happen orderly out of sheer, math-bending luck. Emotional triggers are hairs, our difficulty with emotion is instinctive. Reactionary. First person to strike in the fight, last person to understand why we are in trouble. Typical ADD/ADHD tactic to 'fix' a situation?

Burn it all down, start over in the morning.

@Cirno Mmm. Nuggets.

What...is Firan?

So, yeah.

I would like to see Shifter oWoD v20. But with a focus on the 'lesser' breeds, such as Corax, Nuwisha, Ratkin and Kitsune. Also the Camazotz. Plzkthx.

And ex and I wrote half a Breedbook for the Camazotz. We had weird Auspices based on how the character was born (by Caesarean, breech, etc.). We also changed up their duty a little bit and made them the emissaries of Gaia to the Underworld (because Camazotz). So they had a lot of Merits and Gifts and Rites that related to the Underworld and Wraiths. I still have all of it on my computer.

Someone make a Camazotz game plz.

I second this.

@Cirno Gordon's alive!

SHE LIIIIIVES!

@Auspice

Yep. For me I do it high on rooftops, staring out over everything and I recognize I am doing it, mentally shrug and say, "Eh. This is nice I guess."

@Ganymede

That moment I realize in the game I tried to @mail Ganymede.

'Finely boned hate machine'

Probably one of my favorite short-descs ever.

Look, I know it's a lot of money. I am intellectually and emotionally aware it's a lot of money - but by the time I come to inspect the damage to your home, the estimate I give, is what it costs to repair your home. I say $15,000.00 and someone comes to tell you $7,000.00? That should throw up some red flags.

But you bought them, not me.
Now I am staring at the fire report of your home having burned to the ground and by the grace of pure luck, or whatever deity you pray to? None of your kids died. Your wife. No. Your house just burned down. I told you it wasn't safe, and I told you the repairs that needed to be made, and instead of repairing the system - you had someone cob it.

Dammit.

Speculatores - Spies. Shapechangers (via Obfuscate, Animalism, Protean or other means) these characters will need high mental fortitude, and social mutability. Caesar used them to infiltrate an enemy, learn, and report - so will The Lancea Sanctum require them to do the same.

Exploratores - Scouts. Cartographers. (via Animalism, Auspex, or other means) these characters will know The Land, The Flora and Fauna, The People. They will need physical fortitude, as well as mental mutability. Caesar used them to know the land he would conquer, to learn the dangers of what was in front of his Great Red Machine, and so will The Lancea Sanctum require them to do the same.

Oxosi: An African God of The Hunt. Hounds of Acaeton of Gangrel, Adroanzi and Nocktuku of Nosferatu, Amara Havana of Daeva, Adrestoi of Ventrue, and the Norvegi of Mekhet are all examples of what will work best, as far as bloodlines, they are not rules but rather guidelines to bring together different personalities and tactics to the Greatest Ritual: The Hunt. This isn't a group of humanitarians. These figures live on the past fears of Man; heightening the reason Man huddled around a fire in the night, and never went anywhere alone. They hunt, kill, skin and use the parts of their Prey to further their nightly agenda. Krieg is known widely within The Lance, and Invictus, for favoring The Most Dangerous. Within the Lance, HOW these figures get things done is not nearly as important as the result. The leaders within The Lance have sent them to Reno based on past merits.

The Lodge of Bones: The Bear Lodge, The Hunt Club, Les Mysteres. Do you really think vampires and werewolves are the scariest The World of Darkness has to offer? Man is the Ultimate Hunter. Be it for food, for prestige, for sport or because The Spirits tell you to do it. It is done. The Lance is everywhere, and like Caesar's Legions; it is made up of thousands of personalities from a plethora of backgrounds - and not all of them are Kindred, or even know that they belong to The Lance. The Lodge of Bones within Reno will form outside of the Oxosi; and will have the same zeal of The Hunt that the Kindred above do. Maybe not all of them hunt things of flesh-and-blood, either.
