The sheer saturation of this idea is astounding to me. Just because you're white doesn't mean you're somehow better off.

Dude, I really am sorry because in my experience it's not something that you can be told and you have to wait until you see it for yourself, but you really fucking are. I know people tell you this until they're blue in the face and I know you're probably sick of it, but if you're not aware that just being a white dude gives you some inherent advantages, it's just because you lack the life experience to know better, which to be honest is kind of a blessing in itself in a weird way.

Full disclosure, I am a white dude myself, but a lot of my immediate and extended family isn't and once it's there in your face you can't un-see it.

@Jennkryst said in Brainstorming: Hybrid/Homebrew Werewolf Game:

The triat existing is not the same thing as allowing PCs to play Black Spiral Dancers.

Nope, it's not. I don't really want them, nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupe. The cWoD books go to great, painful lengths to explain that allowing BSDs and fomor and all that as player characters has to be handled so, so carefully, and that's with them assuming you're at a table with like five-ish people you at least know kinda well. Literally every time I've personally seen them in a MU* setting (blah blah blah this is anecdotal blah blah blah) players use them to take huge, steaming shits on the game, just like Sabbat. I don't want it, it's the same reason I'd delete the Get. Allowing and managing Pure PCs is going to be hard enough.

EDIT: I know that there are players out there who can handle them well, that's not really the point. Just having them as an option invites a certain kind of toxic crazy people in the MU* community I don't want.

I haven't read Beast, so I dunno if it could mesh. Must wait for 2e CB to hit.

Not really looking at bringing Beast in...?

I'm working on a bit as well, concept is a local but that is up for change. Young Scathach punk with a pocket full of dreams. Page me as Glenn if y'all are looking for more buddies.

I just don't really understand the changes to characterization. It's already suffering from massive Pretty People Syndrome, which is inevitable for TV, but why the hell did they age everyone by four or five years? It just makes their pettiness seem that much more obnoxious.

I'll be honest, I don't care all that much about historical accuracy in a game where in theory, you could be spending a lot of your time stabbing spirit-Claimed sharks. If it wound up playing a lot like Game of Thrones On Crack, that'd be missing the intent in my heart...but still. Sharks.

Also-unrelated-to-child-neglect peeve:

Grown-ass men with no medical issues who don't throw their weight into a big move, but "sneakily" limit themselves to the small boxes. Come on now.
I am so sore.

That's why I said style. There was a lot of discussion in the thread that people find the show relatable, for good reason. In my memory when it was suggested the game would be more like the show -- used as a well known reference, I don't think anyone meant literally adapt the show -- to the OP, he was kind of like, "Meh, I can see it." My bad if that's not how it actually went down or if you're that dude and thus, would know better, haha.

Um, there aren't any Quick Time Events or escort missions out of the birth canal? 0/10, would not purchase again.

You can dig so far into the ground going after gold that you can't get out. >.>

...A game that teaches you the pitfalls of greed?! SOLD

@Misadventure said in Vampire the Masquerade 5th Edition:

I assume you mean real life Player Characters being the focus of #7. Otherwise it sounds like you are supposed to play yourself.

...a strain of vampirism that only affects or is somehow limited to your stereotypical LARPer/tabletop gamer/MU*er would be a recipe for nonstop hilarity. Like a society of immortal creatures built around the kind of hissy-fit drama that Vamp Spheres are known for? There are no words, they should have sent a poet

Peeve for the month/year: Utah.

Just.....Utah.

@Goyim
I'd also accept a singing contest where the judges throw raw pork at the contestant if the audience loves them. The stakes couldn't be higher!!!!!!!!

Furious flirtation for a few days, and then the revelation that she was just on a break from her partner and they've worked things out. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU---

@Misadventure
I love the job, I think it provides a good and necessary service for people who definitely need it, but I think you're right. It just sucks.
