>Question
How is your home like the World of Darkness?

It's an inescapable pit of despair and misery.

>How is your home like the World of Darkness?
There are a lot of drugs.

What situations do you have your players roll Wisdom degenration?

An Island in the middle of nowhere. My mentor's Sanctum.

>How is your home like the World of Darkness?

I prefer it where Swedish Dracula impersonators are burned at the stake.

When they burn en entire building of sleepwalkers into a grease spot on the concrete.

Reposting from last thread since I'm still annoyed.


What is it about Mage that brings out casual sadism in the most 'moral' normal players?

They fucking burned an entire building of unwitting Seer lackeys. Actually the building is fine all the people were burned to death. Jesus fuck, I have to rewrite some of my campaign now.

My latest WoD was a young Silver Fang Ahroun from America from some disaffected kinfolk, so he ate a lot of crap from his Tribe elders and was basically sent on a suicide mission to Europe. The game ended prematurely but in short he never established a Sept or Caern of his own and preferred to keep travelling with his Ragabash Shadowlord companion, who made it her job to keep him alive and out of trouble.

Forgot my picture.

Playing high Wisdom Mage is a challenge. I always have increase wisdom as an obsession from the very start.

Don't be a pussy drop down to 4 as soon as you can and start water-boarding sleepers.

>This is what mage is all about and you should be ecstatic that your players are happily tumbling down rabbit hole. Just remember to always ask the question 'and then what?' from yourself, your players and the game. Try not beat them over the head with stupid bullshit or cockblock their magic, just remember to follow up on the normal consequences of their antics.

Forgot to mention how much I hate you

How can you hate what you do not know, user?

Humbly requesting:

-Tales of the Dark Eras
-Night Horrors: Conquering Heroes
-Beast Ready Made Characters
-Cursed Necropolis: Rio

Miss werewolf, are you trying to seduce me?

When their lust for power surpasses their better judgment.

Those werewolves look like they would make excellent rugs to go with my vampire furniture.

#MagesDontKnowRightFromWrong

What are the benefits of high Wisdom?

What is like being the worst Veeky Forums has to offer, /wodg/? How do you live with yourself? How do you sleep at night?

>How do you sleep at night?
Very poorly. I have to wear this mask that's supposed to keep my windpipe open so I can breathe. its terrible.

You can contain Paradox easier, and released Paradoxes last a small amount of time (one Scene).

>What are the benefits of high Wisdom?

Nothing.

Burn it down. Burn it ALL down!

Whats the diference of Wisom 9 and 10?

About 2 Arcane Experiences.

How does OPP feel that right wing conservatives play and like their games?

>How do you sleep at night?

I sleep the sleep of the just and righteous. I sleep with the angels.

#ObrimosSupremacy

>What is it about being supremely powerful that makes morality fly out the window
hmmmm

Hopefull that they'll actually buy the books rather than pirate them based on their rough appreciation of capitalist principles?

Are all mages like this?

About the same way Kate Upton feels about hundreds of men masturbating to pictures of her naked.

Are mage, werewolf, vampire pdfs in the archive updated with latest version from drivethru?

Turned on?

Not at all, you filthy slag.

>About the same way Kate Upton feels about hundreds of men masturbating to pictures of her naked.

#KateUptonSupremacy

Go fuck yourself, you damn dirty dog.

Why would I do that, when I can fuck YOU!

Just a reminder,

You're not scary or sexy if you have fleas.

#LieDownWithDogsWakeWithFleas

It's a cluttered mess

>What is like being the worst Veeky Forums has to offer, /wodg/?

Ha, nothing surpasses the 40k and /or PF fanbases.

I'm not sure that the PF threads are worse, given that they can actually discuss their settings when prompted or offer 'sound' mechanical advice, and the 40k threads are similarly useful when prompted at least most of the time.

Plus they don't get bent out of shape about pdfs because they aren't trying to fanboy and dick ride any writers like you fags do.

>they can actually discuss their settings
"whch waifu wud u fugg" is not setting discussion

>offer 'sound' mechanical advice
"DUDE DSP LMAO" is not good mechanical advice

>40k threads are similarly useful
Yes, 10+ year old memes are really helpful BLAM'D HERESY NO ARMS ANGRY MARINES KAYOSS METAL BAWKSES XD

>mad that DSP and PoW is good fun

>too retarded to do vanilla PF/3.5 builds when there has been over a decade and a half of knowledge and guides to pull from

>never actually been in the 40k general anymore

People are busy memeing about Abaddon and Primarchs you tool, get with the times.

I would still take all of that over mage shitposting.

Wait until A Thousand Year of Night or Changeling 2e is released.

You'll be begging for the Mage shitposting.

>mage supremacy

But I like Changeling ....

I'm more worried about the crossover rules.

I also like Changelings

As lawn chairs

>mad that DSP and PoW is good fun
They're PF garbage, so they are by definition not fun.

> PF/3.5 builds
If I wanted arithmetic porn I'd play GURPS.

>'PF math is too complicated for me'

Do you LITERALLY have a disability or something? Honest question.

The Crossover Chronicles are a LONG way off.

Changeling 2e, Geist 2e, Dark Eras II and Deviant are scheduled first, and OPP is not exactly rushing releases.

#MathSupremacy

Does DaveB post here any more?

>unironically shilling Pathfinder

Do (You) LITERALLY have autism or something? Honest question.

Pathfinder is bad, don't get me wrong, but if that level of math is too much for you I don't know how you even play most TTRPGs.

Maybe Nobilis or AWorld are more your speed?

I'm not sure I understand something about these Preludes 'games'.
Right-leaning people are triggered by the fact there's a trans character that kills trump supporters, and that the 'good path' in Mage is hellping refugees.
Left-leaning people are triggered by the fact that the author of the Vampire game is known from rpg.net and SA for being an asshole with a mob at his disposition for doxxing people.

Do I get it right ?

You are forgetting people like me. I'm triggered by the fact that I don't have money to play it but yeah, you're right.

Can somebody share Reap the Whirlwind Revised?
Since the New Orleans is no longer valid, this is our only official chonicle.

>mage shitposters last thread
>PF shitposters this thread

hmn really makes you think huh

Reason #678 as to why I prefer Ascension: Paradox doesn't give a shit how smart you are.

Friendly Neighborhood Mekhet here. Our encounter with "Scorch" is over. The whole place burned down partly our fault. I obfuscated out of there. Gangrel turned into a bat to escape. Nosferatu was able to make good on his Nightmare which caused the girl to set everything on fire including the corpses of the children. No more evidence. Got out with 1-2 aggravated damage. The next night a man knocked at our apartment apologized for his "daughter's" behavior. He gave a bobble of fresh blood that doesn't seem to coagulate, retaining the vitae inside as a peace offering. He also gave us another lead on the child killer. So we drank the magical blood to replenish our vitae. As our undead bodies processed the blood, we all had a vision of Scorch. She apologized for her attack and said that she went behind her mentor's back to purse this case. Apparently, her mentors care little for the a serial killer but her friend was a victim years ago so this is personal. Now she's "grounded" so she hopes we can help her with the case. In the vision she looked awfully pale, making realize that the blood we were drinking was hers.

>the 'good path' in Mage is helping refugees.
I give absolutely zero fucks about politics one way or the other, but what the fuck is this about helping sleepers and this being the 'right thing to do'. A sleeper's a fucking sleeper and the less of them there are, the fucking better. And that goes for all versions of Mage as far as I can tell.

There no such thing as conensus reality in Awakening.

Not the high Wisdom ones. But they are rare

Check this Nephandi

>Paradox

Still doesn't prevent oWoD magefags from wanking their penises of power.

I'm sorry. You seem to think that this is anything other than a mechanical consideration.

If you knew what you were doing, you could be fucking deadly in Ascension.

>NOT being a Nephandi

Its like you don't even want to end all existence!

How paradox works in Awakening now completely disconnected from covert and vulgar and has all to do with control an discipline. Its still uo the Mage the screw himself over. This time its a concious choice to invoke paradox or not. It Paradox happens its because you let it happen.

Proud Mystagogue, actually. I take offense to being associated with self-deluded cosplayers waving props around. That goes for all Ascension mages and not just Nephandi by the way.

>mysterium supremacy

All you magefags make me want to vomit

I just looked it up, they managed to trigger so much people it's brillant.

Zak S and his groupies are all heavily leftist, also. It's just that the (even more?) leftist people who are mad at him - rightly or wrongly or a mix of both - want to try and match him onto actually being some kind of conservative because in places like SA and RPG.net, harasser = conservative = bad, so if Zak harassed someone he's probably Donald Trump Jr.

It's pretty funny seeing Dave Hill say how he'll never work with Onyx again and so on because of Zak S's involvement and oh man he's such a bad boy harasser when Hill's an anarchist whose own ideology requires bodies covering the streets and which explicitly endorses political violence. Please do fuck off, buddy.

Man, the cognitive dissonance of these people will never cease to amaze me.
Thanks for your explication anyway, that was the part I was missing.

>Shilling for ZakS

This really is the worst general on Veeky Forums.

So you guys have any lead on the killer?

Mysterious magic man gave us some leads. (possible places bodies can be)

Or because you're being witnessed by Sleepers.

But you don't have a suspect I take from it?

I'm a conservative, so I think Zak S is a degenerate, and when I looked at the harassment accusations when they were current, I remember thinking that some of them (but only some of them) were probably true. We'd probably be marginally better off if he left the hobby entirely tomorrow.

But it's just that the opposition he's got in this case compels me to take his side, because they're such complete filth. It's difficult to think of anyone I wouldn't end up reflexively on the side of against the anarchist and communist loons within RPG.net and the like. If you're gonna talk about how a guy who maybe sent threatening messages on social media or whatever is villainous while fully endorsing violent revolution and palling around with paedophiles, I'm not going to end up on your side, yeah?

This shitty general needs more memes

Nope not yet.

Why don't you just jam a tube down your throat and keep it there 24/7?

This shitty general is one big meme, user. Mage is a meme.

>mage supremacy

Of course the 'good guys' would help refugees if the writers are leftist, because real in-universe motivations are not as important as your own personal political leanings (and leftists are naturally less intelligent/mature, or they wouldn't be leftists).

You guys have access to blood sorcery? Or no such luck?

>blood sorcery

Peasant magics

That's it. Consensual reality? Exarchs?

Nah.

I want Paradox and the death of magic to be caused by memes.

The more 9gag and Reddit proliferate 'dank memes', the harder it keeps the awakened down.

The Mysterium are absolutely the best order in Awakening.

Wanna be Indiana Jones? go for it.
Librarian? fuck why not?
Globetrotting thief? sounds great!
Mad scientist? Be as mad as you fucking want

People seem to hype up mysterium a lot. I prefer Guardians myself

As long as you arent Free Council you're pretty good honestly.

Free Council does seem like a Carthian Movement of Mage.

No, nothing that big. We are just friendly neighborhood vampires who their best not to eat everyone.

>who their best not to eat everyone.

pansy faggot I hope some shovelheads rape you to death

>#TheSabbatWasRight

Nah they are pretty diverse in terms of cultures and beliefs. You get atheists and religuous. Communists and Capitalists. Republicans and Democrats Literally if it is related to human cultural beliefs its Free Council

>Globetrotting thief?
I will admit I am enamored with this character type.

So it's similar. In CM you get commies and fascists, anti obstructionists and vampiric atheists(mention of those always brings idea of vampiric Agent Scully from X-Files to mind) and so on.

Generally both CM and FC seem like a sort of kitchen sink that you toss everything that doesn't fit other covenants/orders
