So weird then that I love one and am annoyed by the other.

Basically if the God-Machine is considered LovecraftIan, I need to do some hella serious soul searching...

@tragedyjones It's an unknowable, alien entity controlling the world through occult machinations. I'm pretty sure that's what Lisse was referring too.

I took it as a reference to the reach, which had actually Eldritch tentacle monsters.

God-Machine isn't cthulu stuff.

MAYBE SECRETS OF THE COVENANTS WILL RELEASE SOME DAY

@Caryatid I mistyped. Carthian Firebrandisher. Imma burn motherfuckers.

In regards to a new game... I'm hoping someone(s) can inject some sanity into whatever shitshow of a Law sphere @tragedyjones is trying to put together.

Sounds like there are some sane people out there and I hope they get heard

Is the shit show the part where you want to have zero repercussions for being a dumbass?

I'd consider it but I can't promise to not be a Carthian firebrand.

To sum up: Cop pcs will be allowed, they will not be aligned with any sort of real world jurisdiction. The goal of law enforcement pcs is not to harass criminal PCs (and vice versa). Lastly, if a character DOES engage in any criminal behavior that is egregiously fucking stupid they may end up arrested.

Mostly adding this to piss off @Coin, but isn't the Lodge of the Shield redone in 2E as an Iron Master lodge?

I have a Poké Stop I can hit from my desk at work. Also, I have a Jigglypuff

@Arkandel Just throwing out that was post my tenure on TR as Law TL

The game will be big enough (12+ million NPCs) that any one criminal can get by undetected unless they decide to go and directly harass the cops or something.

How about we fix the reason for police PCs so they aren't always creating antagonists of other PCs? While it's good to makes sure that characters always have some level of checks and balances, I never got the impression that police PCs vs. other PCs was very fun.

The way most staff in Mu*'s use police in WoD / CofD like it is RL is fucking lame...

Hopefully this is a step in the right direction.

I will still smack down a character who is obliviously stupid without feeling guilty.

Rather than attempt to model the incredibly complex reality of Law Enforcement jurisdiction while still allowing players to take the role of a police officer, for the purpose of Angeles, there is a collaborative Metro Task Force, an organization created for the purpose of policing the entire LA Metro area.

As for police as antagonists, I find that a bit frustrating myself, but I don't have the brainpower for it right now.

How pissed off would people be if police PCs were disallowed? Because, frankly, the number of Police Departments in the LA Metro area is absurd and would mean your effective jurisdiction is fuckall.

Guys every time you post on this thread is think there is news you argumentative fucknozzles.

Just a little nugget to (hopefully) drum up some interest:
