I am going to jerk off to this Sovereign Cirno feud. (Not really)

Double Post: Does anyone have any ideas they would like to see for a pre-created Cooperative?

Ugh at this rate I am going to be ready to open by March. The horror.

@Miss-Demeanor Beast is apparently in the Indexing stage, and Mage is in line for Layout pending approval of the final text.

Unacceptable. Promethean is behind Mage in the layout queue.

So bets on what comes out first: Beast or Awakening 2.0?

OH SNAP.
WHITE MARTIANS ON SUPERGIRL AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Dude no spoilers while the episode is actively airing, at the very least!

D-d-double post!

When I want to watch something legally, but it is a hassle, prohibitively expensive, or just not an option to stream. I don't want to buy a digital copy of a movie I am going to watch once for $12.99, Amazon.

Make lunch. Leave in a rush because I'm late. Forget lunch on the counter.

Grr.

So... pizza!

Also, what, you may ask, is a Sympathetic Monster? It is a homebrew Supernatural Merit!

Sympathetic Monster (1-5 dots)
Effect:Your character has a friend, family member, or other associate who, in general is fairly kind to them. Along with the Storyteller, you can design a creature with up to one Dread Power or dot of Potency for each point invested in this merit. This creature is not a retainer, but will be available to assist the character when relevant, usually in plots. Storytellers should be inclusive of Sympathetic Monsters where reasonable.

Drawback: The more powerful the creature, however, the more likely it is to betray you. Once per week, staff will roll a dice pool equal to your Integrity minus the dots in this merit. On a failured roll, the Monster grows more powerful, granting a temporary dot in this merit, but the monster's actions result in an immediate need for a Breaking Point roll. Furthermore, Sympathetic Monsters over 2 dots gain a Bane and other characters may react poorly to those who are chummy with their vampire sister.

Fine, ugh!

Here we have the second of our pre-generated PC factions, The Redeemers.

The Redeemers
Overview: Not everyone who takes up arms against the night does so to kill. Some hunters find the term monster hunter to be too violent and permanent. These men and women seek not to kill, but, whenever able, to convert the monsters to the side of Humanity. The Redeemers are one of the larger cooperatives in the region. While they are certainly aware of and influenced by the Compendium, they clearly do not hold the same ideals as the author. As a larger organization, the Redeemers have divulged into two branches, the Apprehenders and the Rehabilitators. Both hold the same goal, but they work at different ends of the spectrum.
Class: Philosophical (Rehabilitators)/Prey (Apprehenders)
Cause: The Redeemers seek to convert the more human of monsters back to the flock of humanity. While many Redeemers come from a religious background, not all do. They are simply men and women of good intentions, if not questionable logic and sanity. Apprehenders take up arms and do everything in their power to bring monsters into custody, without permanently maiming or killing them. Rehabilitators, meanwhile, are the more scholarly branch of the Redeemers, who utlize psychology, biology, faith, mysticism and pseudoscience in an effort to cure the afflicted.
Pre-Requisites: Empathy 2+, Academics, Occult or Science 2+ (Rehabilitators) / Empathy 2+, Brawl, Athletics or Weaponry 2+ (Apprehenders)

Benefits (Rehabilitators):
1 Rehabilitators gain a specialty in Academics, Empathy, Occult or Science related to their Cause
2 9-Again on rolls related to curing and integrating Monsters
3 Access to regional Redeemer support, in the form of 2 dots assigned to Mentor or Safe Place
4 Two dots of Sympathetic Monster and Interdisciplinary Specialty for their bonus specialty
5 The Rehabilitator may spend a Willpower Point every day to empower a Safe Place that is constructed to Redeemer Guidelines (either one they created or one provided through this merit) to apply a penalty equal to the Safe Place on the use of all Supernatural Effects not used by a Redeemer.

Benefits (Apprehenders):
Apprehenders gain a specialty in Athletics, Brawl, Empathy or Weaponry related to their Cause
2 9-Again on all rolls to apprehend and investigate their prey.
3 Access to Regional Redeemer support, in the form of 2 dots assigned to Allies or Safe Place
4 Aura Reading
5 Three dots of Numbing Touch

Should I keep teasing people with previews, or just show up one day and be like "We open bitches!"?

So anyone working on anything?

The 100 starts as a young adult dystopian post apocalyptic CW show. Then it defies expectations in so many ways.

Best casting possibly ever: Benedict Wong cast alongside Benedict Cumberbatch

@Bobotron I am looking forward to how Crazy Jaha can go, and how many people will die in horrible CW-expectation defying ways.

@Bobotron I haven't gotten to see it yet. But I have high hopes.

@Miss-Demeanor Did they report you to child services, you monster??

For the first time in ever, being fat was a bonus. I got to eat a hearty meal at Cracker Barrel and remain under my weightloss goal calorie count.
