For me it smacks of the same irritating bullshit that came about with Changeling in owod: Yes, there's already a fae realm, there's already fae, there's already rules for interacting with it. But we're going to ignore the shit that already exists because FAERIES.

Whatever people think about it, there's already info, playable characters, etc tied to demons in Possessed. Angels and Demons already had an (admittedly shitty) entry in books for the system.

"Play our new game, featuring fallen ANGELS as DEMONS! Except not the demons we've already covered. And not really angels or demons at all, except that we'll call them that and they totally act like it and look like it but it's not that other set of demonic things, it's totes different."

They could have called it pretty much anything else at all and saved me about fifty pounds of derision any time it gets brought up.

To be fair, that is what Possessed was to me and why I dislike it. We already had angels and demons explained, they were spirits. A demon would be a spirit of something we'd view negative and they were fully capable of possessing people and do demonic stuff. And then they introduce Possessed which doesn't really add anything.

Counted, believe I have five of those? The first two volumes of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R.R. Martin, The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown, The Wheel of Time, Robert Jordan and The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien

@ThatOneDude ran into his dick. He ran into his dick ten times?

I have never really understood the thing where you all list like five or so nationalities/cultures that you 'are'. It seems to be a New World thing I guess, with all the immigration? I don't understand it, although I find it mildly intresting.

Like my mother is German, and moved to Sweden some fourty years ago. I go to Germany twice or more per year (although less in recent years) but I wouldn't consider myself german in anyway, I don't speak the language fluently and I do not share their culture beyond celebrating christmas with my relatives down there.

Please, you're all weird americans.

I'm a white blonde haired, blue eyed Swede.

@Cobaltasaurus

Progress!

Do not stand in the way of progress.

I'll try to finish the CG for my Ventrue I had planned months ago I suppose.

See if I can manage this time.

@Pondscum

Come on now, you know very well most people here are older than that. Atleast imagine them as grown adults using such language RPing from his/her parent's basement.

@Cobaltasaurus

Is still say you and everyone should read the Bartimaeus Sequence by Jonathan Stroud,

To paraphrase the War Nerd:
Buy the corrupt. Make sure they know to stay bought.
Spare the incompetent and the used-up figureheads.
Brutalize the ambitious members of the old elite, ESPECIALLY the most egregious, if your conquest had a moral imperative (like Daenerys' did). Do not spare them, because they will come back to haunt you.

How machiavellian.

I've been considering trying Game of Bones to do something not WoD, I am yet to do something not WoD on a MU*.

Well, weight also needs context, I'm currently in bad shape and I weigh less than when I was in my best shape. Just you know, lost asome muscle and gained some fat. And utterly lost my cardio .. damnit now I feel bad. I tell you starting Uni was the worst thing for my health. >.>

Just to go on a sidetrack, I always have difficulty seperating the Occult and Academics skill in World of Darkness, beyond 'real' supernatural information.

Especially with stuff like religion and mythology, like is knowing about Lilith Occult or Academics? Or knowing Medusa was a serpen associated female creature that turned people into stone by looking at them.

Someone, what is Kushiel?

I honestly just find jeans where it fits on the waist, and if they're too long I cut them off and just sew a new hem myself. It's not hard.

Academics: <Insert A Few Spesific Eras/Location> History
Crafts: Sewing
Crafts: Metalwork
Occult: Pop Occult Facts
Intimidation: Resting Bitch Face
Weaponry: Swords
Survival: Orientation
Survival: Campsites

I don't know, is what I could think of.

I'm just gonna express my gratitude that my chest it not considered sexual and I am free to just wear trunks.

So if you shove this in their face HR as a "See! They can be a 15 year old Doctor!" they will most likely just not change their mind, or just complain about it being snowflaky instead.
