@Coin Yes! I build AP nasus and get kills under turret as soon as we push in. Nobody expects that damage.

I'm horrible at League of Legends, to be perfectly and brutally honest.

Like, until I picked it up again recently, I used to have record deaths and shit. I didn't even give a fuck. I still don't, really. Nothing makes me grin like a sadistic monster more than watching people lose their shit because I'm bad at a game and they need this win against these bots omg.

So when I was the one carrying the entire ARAM team on Ashe of all squishysquishes, it was fucking hilarious. And then the rest of my team surrendered. Who the fuck surrenders in ARAM? Bunch of wusses.

Play Smite. The reactions are hysterical.

The very best method I have ever seen used to run a large scene, was one person - the Storyteller - writing out large pages (multiple paragraphs), and handling The Story while the other person who has a character in said scene, handles The Math - that includes rolls, general mechanical questions, and the like. This two-man show ran smooooooothly. A massive scene that would have taken hours with Vampire, took half the time and none of the enjoyment was missed out on.

Naps, oatmeal, and liquor. That stuff is ours.

I had an idea recently. There's a spell in the Mysterium called Copy Grimoire. It requires Prime 1 and Matter 1, and with it, you can, on a Lasting basis, copy a grimoire. It's Extended, as well, so it requires patience.

What if you wanted to make convincing counterfeits of things, though? Given roughly the same material, you could make a duplicate of it, as I surmise, with just Matter 1. These are for mundane objects only. I mean, if you can copy supernatural stuff with Prime 1, Matter 1, can't you copy mundane stuff with just Matter 1?

But he could be an entire persona based on fake shit. Take a wad of cash he got from the bank, duplicate it. And then duplicate that again. Ad infinitum. Redistribute an immense amount of wealth directly to himself with money that's counterfeit, yet indistinguishable from the real thing, to the extent that even the best (mundane) experts wouldn't be able to tell.

And this wouldn't necessarily be a whole character, but a particular scheme that a starting character could pull off. And pretty much without consequence, unless you're contriving them.

Bills are (to my knowledge) marked as individuals, not as print-sessions, and so eventually he could be caught. Which may be sort of awesome; Interpol looking for his super-awesome counterfeit machine.

Well, I mean, if he is 1) The Devil, he is of course 2) a sick fuck and obviously 3) a freak. Hell is party central sooo..

Also, again, if he is 1) The Devil, he has already met Jesus. Haven't you guys ever listened to that Rolling Stones song? Christ...oh, uh, I mean, shit.

@HorrorHound You're right. They are marked individually. So they could eventually track him down, but the thing is, this detail just gives me basis for him to, uh, diversify the pool. Counterfeit a few different benjies, and then spend them on small purchases, and eventually get more legit ones. The more unique numbers you add to his mix, the harder it gets to find him; I'd imagine it'd be logarithmic, too, as opposed to linear.

It would make it seem less deterministic. Then there's the possibility that the caster just goes, "Yeah, well, I'll use Matter 2 instead of the normal Matter 1. Now I can make small 'stylistic' changes like making the serial numbers unique."

Wow, I wonder if we could take this farther, though, and make a character based around counterfeiting all sorts of shit, not just money. If you can copy a grimoire with Prime 1, Matter 1, what could you require to copy an Artifact? Or a Fetish?

Could I add Space 2 to this to counterfeit paperwork from afar, or Forces 1 to override electronic records in a computer system?

A character who has a bunch of low-dots all over the place, but whose modus operandi is counterfeiting/fabricating all the little details required to make things go his way could be a really fun concept, imo.

Welcome to the Ultimate Mage-Anarchist.

Use Entropy, and add some Mind to boost the need to spend. Bring the System down. One of your False Bennie's being held? See your Vice changed to Greed for a day.

Do it.

@Admiral said in RL Anger:

This person threatened me with a weapon a few months ago. I brought it up on here.

Since then I haven't said a single word to her.

All of this was set off because I didn't say 'good morning' to her, and had the AC turned off when she got to work. (Instead of pre-setting it to the settings she desired).

Because I work for her or something, in her mind.

I'mma stop you right there and remind you: There is no problem you have that cannot be solved with fire.

@somasatori

I am for, and against, OOC-Masq. But then if you look at my wiki pages, there is nothing deceitful there. It is pretty much out in the open. Which is how I like to play, OOCly, and I enforce it when I can.

But, yeah, Sabbat Scum Must Die. Fear the Sword-Breaker Gargoyles.

Retirement is an alternative to capping. Congratulations, you won. Time to start over with something new, maybe we'll keep this bit around for use as a powerful NPC and we'll ask you to cameo, etc. Still rubs people the wrongway sometimes but I think it's a nice enduring reward that doesn't necessarily unbalance the stock of active PCs as hard.

I always loved the idea of retiring my PCs into the background of the game to maybe be used later in some epic plot. I mean, anything in Vampire that is Elder and Above gets...boring...to play. Redundant and, eventually, antagonistic to other characters but more so players. I know of atleast two people whom are sort of forced to be the game's boogymen, because without that threat, others, would go a bit ape, and that to me is a fucked up Mantle for players to have to adopt. Just to play their characters.

Of course, I am also a fan of pwipes every three years.

@Three-Eyed-Crow said in Pokemon Go:

I mean, I think it's legit to question how much data about ourselves we're giving to random companies every day through our phones. We have far less privacy than we ever bother to think about. In a way, I'm not sorry people are freaking out a little, because in general I think we don't spend enough time freaking out about this stuff.

But I'm far more concerned about what Google and Facebook are doing with my information (and how much money they're making off it) than Pokemon Go.

Hey guys! If you ever lose your password like I did to Facebook, and the email you used phased out ten years ago? If you just take a photo of your State ID or driver's license, Facebook would be happy to open your account right back up!

From 2000-20012 I was without a cellphone at all. It made job-duties stupid difficult, but my life far better and disconnected. The looks of horror I would get, you know, were a bonus.

If you could separate the sphere-exits to only be visible to that sphere, I think that would help with the spam.

Or maybe only list exits available to the public? I don't need to see the plethora of player-builds I can't get into, anyways, when I just want to find a decently desc'd place to eat some peeps.

@Insomnia

You and my dad seem to be having similar symptoms, and attitudes. Similar treatment.

So keep forward, motherfucker.

@Ghost

It depends on the kind of villain. If @Ganymede is some Super Secret Robo-Genius that is manipulating a bunch of people behind the scenes, having him wear a flag announcing his villainous may unravel that. Unless of course his role is more ST, than PC.

Whereas if others are more In Your Face level villains, it makes perfect sense.

Long Live Darth Jar-Jar.

Man, humans are like Orkz.

We need enemies, so, bring it, Metaldeads.

I'm still in Dragon Age: Inquisition, for fuck's sake

Same. And eventually I figure I'll actually finish Mass Effect 3, or one of the Fallout games aside from New Vegas instead of getting distracted.

ME3 and The Last of Us hit me right in the feels.

Who the shit is this Ravna guy?

@thebird

Just think: Yours cannot speak commands, or walk...yet. -Yet-.

I mean, it will be great. You'll do great. It's great fun. Super fun. Like fire.

I've fucked with an idea of purely 2e WtF. But I'm busy AF.
