Oh the shame. I have betrayed my childhood.
Or something.
Anyhow, I can see some entertainment in coming into conflicts of various kinds with groups that have mixes of supers, and mixes of possible solutions.
It might get a little X-Men like. Cue Theme Song!
Almost all online RP is about the "shape" of the setting and system, and not the actual numbers. So if you think the game idea sounds good, don't let the bland system distract you from the opportunities.
However, if you really aim to alter the supernatural society expectations such that they are used to the idea of supernaturals working with their allies and not just their kind, then surely the Legion of Super villains is not far behind.
Hopefully staff will remove, alter, or provide cross product solutions to some of the nastiness from various games.
An example that might not exist anymore would be the contagious nightmare plague the Gentry could infect people with. Changing how it works, or allowing various ways to halt it from many/all the books would help allow that group of various supers face one another's threats thing.
I'm always curious, but it is an idle curiosity so no need to rush.
I hope it is clear that the use of the term coherent is facetious.
And I freaking don't know anymore, whatever Werewolf was at The Reach, with the Wolf Father and all that. I guess that might be New World of Darkness werewolf The Forsaken 1E maybe with the God Chronicles addon?
I believe it was already done.
And why is this critical pirates game conversation happening in the Pokemon Go thread?
O.M.G.
The actual question isn't about rules.
It's about what do you do in a pirate game, and why you do it.
Start brainstorming.
I offer this coherent argument: Thpppppt on Werewolf Gifts. Renown requirements, strange choices as to who can get what, hodgepodge of powers in many sets, also werewolves are stinky.
I shall accept just horrible.
I reserve absolute for Werewolf Gifts.
I am pretty sure using the term absolute while in the realm of horrible WoD systems is uncalled for.

Okay, I bought it. It had better be worth it.
Or what!
Or @Coin gets it!!!
Okay, I bought it. It had better be worth it.
You heard it here first, @Cobaltasaurus is not responsible.
So! Naughty! /Stitch & Lilo.
I wasn't referring to THAT short story. Something about a dance club and a shower scene ...
I'm too young to read such things.
All games have rules and guidelines of play.
That helps keep people near the same page.
If you expect support from someone, you have to work with them. Not at them. Not against them.
When running the game, that relationship should be skewed towards others working with the runners, so they in turn can support the players back.
All code starts with a purpose. Asking the purpose helps design the code.
EG if this is meant to be a pat on the back, then no, do not store it is the design. If this is meant to be a history of praise available to all, you need to state that. If its just a list of who has ever praised the person, by PC name and not charobj#, it needs to state that.
how to invoke it
who can see it
what does it store
Consider allowing for a revival. Set a date 6 months hence, announce it, and see who shows up. If the idea and execution were good, but quiet bothers you, then yeah close up. For the season
And see if the season returns again.
(Announcing well ahead of time is crtical here.)
