What if someone ran a game (nWoD) where the only way to gain XP was via the in-game beats? Would there be rage?

I was so fucking confused until I realized I was thinking about Hellsing, not Vampire Hunter D.

True Detective had a much slower burn than last season, and possibly suffered from dividing the attention between 4 protagonists, but it has gotten great in the end, and I am sad it is about to be over.

@tragedyjones OP has given us no reason to think they won't, eventually. If anything, based on how they appear to be doing 2.0 Bloodlines, we can expect /more/ Bloodlines to get Dominate (and other 'Clan' discs), since they're doing 4 Discs + Devotions instead of unique disc.

That isn't acruelly how they are doing the new Bloodlines. That is how they did ONE of them. One got an extra discipline and some devotions. And yea, that was the model adopted on Reno.

Another gets a bonus discipline and a set of merits.

A third gets no extra discipline and just some inherent powers.

What sucks? Cyberstalking your ex.

What is just plain weird? Cyberstalking your ex... MUSH.

My assessment of Obfuscate as a combat ability was probably tempered by my own Mekhet's complete inability to capitalize even on the opportunity to take advantage of total surprise.

Also, a lot of people in WoD underestimate the lethality of a grapple. I know @lordbelh doesn't, but a lot do.

Namor is the fucking best and anyone who disagrees is probably from Wakanda.

I guess good sex is less important than not being the douchebag sleeping with someone's girlfriend.

Also a quick scan shows that Majesty doesn't actually rely on the Social Maneuvers system. If players are flat out just ignoring social stats in general, fuck 'em.

Not sure if I like the direct movie connection or not, but whoever this mortal is, he's a bad ass to take on 5 vamps, kill 3, and kidnap one

The cheesily named D.B. Hellsing is going to be a folkloric figure who probably embellished a lot of things. His notes will be a thing people can find and interact with.

Interested in you, but afraid to leave her boyfriend?

There is no interpretation of this line that doesn't give me the willies.
Is he abusive?
Is she with him purely for security?

tl;Dr she is in the process of divorcing her husband, who was an alcoholic and abuser who she dated for 10 years and was married to for about one. New guy is a drunk and a bit of a loser, but not violent. Shit is fucking stupid.

Getting shafted is something many Daeva actively enjoy, though.

Psh Namor predates Aquaman by 2 and a half years. And he is a baller.

I know she would. I have been resolute. Last time I saw her I thought she was leaving him.

Also, Rahu and Irraka are the easiest by far Auspices for a Werewolf noob to wrap their brain around, as they are the most straightforward.

So development is humming along quickly. We have the basics of the setting hammered out, a few house rules and overall guidelines up and running. Hosting is managed, wiki is under construction.

My bank just scared the craps out of me. The suspicious charge of 9.99 for Xbox Live that happens monthly on this date? Not likely a worry.

Because I fucking love the look of my own text on a screen, and I have like, 20% of a clue what the fuck I am talking about, I am here to answer YOUR questions.

A lot of us play nWoD 2 now. A lot of us also don't have a goddamned clue of our ass from a hole in the ground.

This is where I come in. The hole is the one in the ground.

But seriously, I know WoD pretty well. Not perfect, I do make the occasional, rare mistake that I then attempt to purge any existence of from the face of the earth.

What troubles you? Ephemerals? Tilts? What you can use Animalism for? How to kill a werewolf? How to make a lactating male PC?

I can help. Ask anything, no matter how small, and I will do my damndest to get you an answer. Maybe even an example.

Sorry I took so long to reply, I was overpowered by my Promethean boner.
