@Coin But but but... MAGIC!

I'm looking to play a Demon Werewolf that gets turned into a vampire that then gets kidnapped into Arcadia. While there he awakens and then escapes where he joins the Vigil.

I think I might try to toss a minor template in there and perhaps finish with Sin-Eater.

@Insomnia Fear not, Windows 10 is in the works and will bring you that much closer to an OS X experience >.>

@luna @icanbeyourmuse @Huzuruth ... WOLF PACK!

You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack... it grew by one. So there... there were two of us in the wolf pack... I was alone first in the pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought, "Wait a second, could it be?" And now I know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves, running around the desert together, in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight, I make a toast!

@silentsophia I don't have these issues with my Macbook Pro >.> JUST SAYING!

i@Huzuruth I get what you and @Arkandel are saying, but, now there are styles in print that can be used if they fit is more to my point.

@Huzuruth Its good to have tons of options.

@The_Supremes hah! Good

If I'm reading The Supremes right, it's done out of a motivation to correct the wrongs done by the racist/sexist/Ect original source material. S/he has gone on to say that you may indeed perhaps get to play anyone but a gypsy but potentially offensive content must pass their muster and all things like poor black person raised in a single parent home probably will get more scrutiny. At least that's what I get out of it. Not necessarily a ban. So maybe a little of both?

While I respect the sentiment as well meaning, there's a lot in it I find paternalistic and unintentionally mildly offensive (and as I mentioned before, even a wee bit racist in and of itself). I am maybe a bit sensitive to shit like that.

Still, this was an interesting conversation!

Wow, we are saying that "a poor black person raised in a single parent home" would get more scrutiny in CG? What's the statistics on that vs the 18 year old hot model chick that has 2 doctorates and is also a badass psychic detective with 13 masteries in various forms of kungfu?

I live in Texas but in a major city with weird hair so I don't get it much at all except from sweet old black ladies. You just can't be mad at being told 'lord bless you honey' while being patted on the arm. And that's from me, I don't like being touched or talked to by strangers.

My pet peeve of the day is the Apple Watch. The next person to say apple tard on my friends list gets blocked. It's an expensive piece of bullshit, yes. It doesn't make me better than you, no. You're not any better than me though for 'refusing to buy into materialism/hype/popular thing' because of supposed elitist reasons. Being an android fan doesn't make you better or worse, so shut up about it.

And furthermore... Dat battery life!

@Pondscum Nice... I'll raise you: Science!

@Arkandel Man... I miss PK and I miss that guy, cause, nothing feels better than kicking his ass.

That awkward feeling when the lady who is working with you on employment so you can get food stamps and medical care insists you just need Jesus and to be positive to fend off depression. She also does this while quietly insisting I not tell anyone.

With all due respect, I need medication and therapy.

I have a friend like that.

"Everything can be solved with JEEZUS!"

Is Jesus gonna help me get my High School Diploma? What's his teaching credentials like? Does he have a record? Seriously.

Werewolf PACK! >.>

@icanbeyourmuse I like Geist, but ... What if he doesn't like me?! >.<

Even if in 2.0 Mages receive no buffs whatsoever, they're still so far on top of the food chain it's not funny. Any kind of smart money is still on those wacky spellcasters.

And below is Loki figuring out the meeting of the minds he is in included a pack of werewolves. I like to point out this book because I like that it shows that the spheres can and should work together in a lot of ways. Showing how in a game with multi-spheres it can be a cohesive game that leads to funny and entertaining stuff, where the spheres have a healthy fear/respect for the others >.>:

“No, Heartsblood’s from out East,” one of the others said, a dark-haired woman. “But he’s with a pack of… well, they’ve got a good reputation back home. And he’s come specifically to help with this.”

Heartsblood? What the hell kind of name was that?

“Yeah,” the red-haired man said. “And these are the Haunts, a pack with a good reputation here.” He gestured around. “Mercedes, Erik, Little Blue. And this here’s Anna.”

“Pack?” The Beast was suddenly alert, on guard. Loki felt his muscles grow tense, picking up its warning without knowing what it was. “Interesting way to put it.” He could see it then, as he dimmed his perceptions of the visible world and let what was unseen sharpen. The rippling colors in their auras were too bold, too primal, to be merely human. And there were five of them, and he was alone. “Fuck. Fucking shit.”

Loki snapped his vision back to normal and was across the width of half the chapel in an eye blink, as the Beast snarled, a mixture of fury and terror. “You didn’t say that!” he shouted at Baihu in a fury. “You didn’t fucking mention! You set me up, you motherfuckers!”

“Loki,” Gwyn interrupted, “if you’re gonna tell us werewolves are the freakiest or the scariest thing you’ve ever met, especially this week, I’m going to let Glory here stick another stake in you for pure mercy’s sake. Stop being a pussy.”

“Pussy, hell.” Loki turned his anger on Gwyn, who likely deserved it more anyway. “You left out a relevant fucking detail!”

@HelloRaptor

You still sort of get exactly what you're talking about here, it's just not innate.

Mmm, unless you're a very combaty Vampire (I'd even specify a Gangrel with ze claws) I wouldn't bet on you beating a comparable Werewolf one on one in 2.0. A pack? No, a pack will just tear a big hole through anywhere near the same numbers of Vampires.

But I don't think that is an issue so to speak and more the way things are designed with a purpose, agreed?

I'm pretty sure that's by design, yes. This time, unlike in 1.0, where I've no idea what to tell you.

Agreed

If you read the fiction of WoD there is a pecking order to things in a lot of ways. I love in Three Shades of Night when the vampire Loki is stalking this cute blond lady, and his beast starts to stir, goading him on to feed. He sticks to the shadows, turns on Auspex to follow her and then he notices her aura and wigs out. Oh shit! She's a mage and then "booom" hit by a lightning bolt.

Does that mean all vampires are scared of all mages? Not at all but if he knew that woman was a mage he'd have approached that situation a little differently.

No. Because it's likely you're losing a lot more than 1 XP. You're losing an entire Cover. So while those Merits are probably returned to you as Merit Dots via Sanctity of Merits, you're still losing an entire avenue of RP. And any Cover dots you bought with Cover XP go bye-bye.

Plus, Going Loud is fucking dangerous. I, as a storyteller/staff would never allow someone to Go Loud without then following up with the appropriate NPCs (Angels, Stigmatics, other Demons, people, whatever). Going Loud should be a risk. Will you probably win the fight? Sure. But it's Pyrrhic at best.

First let me start by saying this is a fantastic thread and I love that I feel like I came away with the same idea as others that posted here. Demon's are pretty cool but Coin has the right of it, if you use your "powers" there needs to be that real threat that you will call down "the wrath of God" <puuuuuuunnnn>. I love the route they took with 2e so far and can't wait to see the rest. I look forward to playing 2e and can't wait!!
