>How many of you have played the new games/visual novel?
I'm enjoying the mage one so far. I've fallen into quiet twice already.

I dont play VN's. If I wanted to read a book I'd read a book and it would probably be far better than whatever shit this Zac faggot came up with.

Oh fuck. What have I missed? I've been away a long while, and only just got back into the thread like an hour ago.

Apparently WW hired someone who has an annoying online persona and thats a big deal.

Zac didn't write the Mage one.

TLDR
NuWW hired Zak Sabbath, who has a history of being a douchenozzle, harasser and capable of having people harass for him. He at one point sent David Hill death threats. He wrote the Vampire mobile game that came out.

David H. had a breakdown post on twitter.

WW said 'we investigated the harassment and found it had no merit'

The intertubes had a meltdown and people are sending Paradox 'IMMA BOYCOTT YOU!' letters left, right and indifferent from various gaming forums.

RPG.net exploded. Reddit exploded. SA exploded. Surprisingly, besides magewankery, we have remained relatively calm and normal.

Its still a VN and VN's suck ass out of a straw.

What's wrong with M20 compared to Revised?

Why does WW try so hard to be edgy? I thought the 90s were over?

>Reddit exploded

I could find literally nothing user.

...

They aren't nearly as edgy though.
Moral ambiguity is fucking gone, it's just that mass murdering people for having the wrong opinions or being trolls on the internet is good now.

They've been making a come back just like Reaganomics if you haven't been paying attention to pop culture the last few years.

It's in the thread about the preludes.
reddit.com/r/WhiteWolfRPG/comments/5udq1s/world_of_darkness_preludes_vampire_and_mage_now/

Completely contradictory editing, reworking the game so Paradigm doesn't matter, blackwashing the traditions, useless sidebars, 'DONT PLAY NEPHANDI YOU'LL CAST REAL EVIL BAD MAGICK!!!!'

>He at one point sent David Hill death threats. He wrote the Vampire mobile game that came out.
>David H. had a breakdown post on twitter

If something good came of this is that maybe, just maybe David Hill jr wont write for OPP anymore

Thanks. That sucks, Dave seems like a bro.

Dave was pretty accommodating when I spent like an entire threads pointing out historical inaccuracies in World of Darkness stuff (Why yes, I may be autistic). Even if I still think he was wrong about everything, he definitely gets mad props for responding to the criticism with grace and arguing his case straight up and admitting ignorance when he didn't know.

I've liked him since, and it even made me look more positively on a bunch of writers I wasn't that big fans of before.

Here's your "Night Horrors: Conquering Horrors"

Oh, good, the writer of this game remembers Bloodlines. I'm so glad that s/he chose to reference Lacroix (a short lived LA prince) and V.V (a glorified stripper and madam) within like ten minutes of eachother. I wonder what reference will next remind me I'm not playing Bloodlines, or material based on a love of the TT background.

He was posting about it in the old thread near the end.

A friend played it, apparently the game is hinting at the main character being a Tremere and also all the PCs being thinbloods.

Oh, even better, now it looks like they are getting around the thin blood issue and no end times by having millennial thin blood cults spring up entirely dedicated to shitting on oWoD metaplot like Demon. That's my fucking trigger. Leave my Fallen alone. REEEEEEEE.

No he wasn't.

>Stripper
DANCER, user.

She may have been the archetypical whore with a heart of gold, but she was a fucking great example of that archetype.

Pretty much. Spoilers.

...

...

Uh... go look again?

...

...

Well, at least they have the millennial scene pegged, or at least are having half of them get pegged. Whiney trans thinbloods all over the fucking place.

I would consider it a negative, but hell, this is World of Darkness, where one of the books had the strap on scene and face vaginas. I'll accept these just because they are more targets to purge.

Am I the only one reading the protagonist's bits in the most deadpan, "I don't give a fuck but I'm trapped in this conversation" voice possible?

That's all I can be arsed posting. It reads like, unless it's a one off plot, they are gearing up to mirror the left versus right issues with a thin blooded rebellion against the old classes. Could be hilarious and fun, if I didn't suspect they are going to paint the thin bloods as the protagonists, if the first new 'game' starring one didn't already give that away.

He doesn't have his trip, that's my defence and I'm sticking to it.

(Sorry for deleting earlier post, it had the reason why I didn't see it the first time, which was me making a typo in the search)

No, no, the character literally gives no fucks. I think we fought a ghouled gorilla or something earlier, and the character doesn't even give much of a shit then. If you fuck up, they use the fact that can still use their arm to say 'k, bye' to their friend via text.

S'cool. I didn't realize anything about the trip, I just saw the name and it lines up with other stuff he's posted too.

...I take it all back. This is trash. It started off lulling me into the old 'new blood who knows nothing, and there are scarier things than you out there' feel, and now I've got trans pornstars infodumping about their fight against the 'man'/Camarilla. I can't even side with the 'old no nothings' as they have made me a thinblood.

Fuck. This is One World of Darkness and how it's going to be, isn't it. Ah well, I'll always have cWoD.

>M20
Computer hackers using yoga to cast magic.

Dude you need to post screenshots of that part.

>how dare these medical professionals tell me how much medication I should take
>FUCK THE ESTABLISHMENT AND FUCK WHITE PEOPLE

See >vegan trans b-movie actress

>Vegan vampire

But how?

I mean vegan trans has its own issues, but vegan vampire is just fucking dumb.

...you made me launch the game again after quitting, you fucking monster. You deserve this.

>"T-heehee all transphobes are really gay for me really. I'm a degenerate because religious upbringing meme. T-hehehehe."

user, you have done god's work.
It's not a benevolent god, it's one of the shittier ones in a pantheon no one really cares about.
But you still did their work, and I salute you.

And I'll remind you that this is a fucking licensed World of Darkness product, intended to usher is hopefully into a new era.

>Lol I casually murder people, also my shrink is old and doesn't get me so I turned him into the living dead and he doesn't know :3

What
the shit
is this

...

Should oWoD have stayed dead?

WW is the master of edge

>Should oWoD have stayed dead?

No. I just wish they didn't try so fucking hard to be so fucking edgy.

One World of Darkness. On the upside, you will be able to play sensible vampires and make purging these degenerates a life goal. I foresee a massive growth in Camarilla ranks. Deus Vult.

Dude I...
I kinda want more.
This is the worst writing I've ever seen.
It's impressive.

>edginess

WW is coming off as a bit pretentious

Muh 90s

Swedracula is getting what he wants.
All hail Swedracula.

>if they say something bad about North Carolna or voted Trump I kill them and eat them

So..vamps are a metaphor for Antifa now huh?

It looks like it has stayed dead. This resembles my beloved franchise in the same way The Elder Scrolls resembles The Silmarillion. Hell, that's an insult to TES.

This thinblood movement, that seems to be growing post-14th gen, basically seems to be, seeing nothing dangerous or 'wrong' with slaughtering kine en-mass. They aren't just rebels, they are outright idiots, and I'm not sure the writer even noticed.

I might play again tomorrow, force my way to the end and see what happens, and then see if exploring other branches offers a more traditional experience. Also, maybe Mage won't be as bad...? Please?

user, you know its going to be just as bad or even worse.

Oh well, at least this has made Chronicles seem far less shitty by comparison.

user it's written by the same people and it's about refugees.

user it's EXPLICITLY about a political issue.

I'm still reading the "You" bits as deadpan as humanly possible and it still fits. Whoever is holding the phone in those screenshots must be a black hole of fucks because there are none in a 3 mile radius around them.

Fuck.

The mage one is by different writers.

The 90's edge was always shit. I'm just thankful that I was too young to have gotten wrapped up in all that.

>Not valuing this razor edge as the pinnacle of RPG accomplishment.

I like how 'excessive length' is 14+ inches. What kind of fucking size queens does this guy know?

Author was probably thinking of horse dicks. Don't forget Brucato has a writing credit in this book for something. I just don't know what.

I mean, it's being compared to literally having a barbed dick.

I mean 12 inches is excessive dude, but I'd rather take that than a 3 incher that's fucking spiked.

But that's just fucking hilarious, and likely a hoot after a few beers. It's also something I imagine less than 1% of the playerbase has used.

This is just fucking cringe and lolrandom. And it's just one cringe of paragraphs of them, and part of the main fucking fluff of the game story. It's a game literally about texting. The equivalent would be some of the more fucked up stuff from the black label supplements being a tenth of New York by Night or something.

I was told the mechanics in 2e are superior to 1e, especially in Mage. However, the SJW bullshit White Wolf has a proclivity for is cringey to me. What would go into errataing most of that out?

Trying to decide which edition of Mage the Awakening is best to play. So between 1e and 2e which is the superior game and why, or what are the pros and cons of each?

I think thats the picture that made me say 'fuck the free council'.

What, like you don't do downward facing dog when when trying to pull off a Man in the Middle attack?

I would smoke weed during it but I don't see how that could possibly help anything.

How would you stat up the Doctor from Doctor Who in the CoD?

Which one?

2e is far better

Gets your mojo flowing son.

I'd say take your pick between 9, 10, 11 and 12.

Help me catch up.
Is M20 the same as second edition for oWoD?

Is there a second edition for nWoD?

For the most over the top mage shenanigans, I'm better of with the 1e Mage the Ascension rightarooni?

Are there any combat merits that improve throwing weapons? I can't remember.

>rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/world-of-darkness-vampire-and-mage-interactive-fictions-released.113680/

By all that is good in the world, someone with a codex account share and with these fine gentlemen. I need their reactions in my life.

Someone on the Onyx Path forums wrote up the Doctor as an Unchained, with the various Regenerations being Covers. I can link that if anyone is interested.

Acanthus mage or one of the Gentry.

Can you elaborate?

>Is M20 the same as second edition for oWoD?
No.

>Is there a second edition for nWoD?
Yes

>This is the guy who wrote this fucking mess of a VN

Its getting a bit ridiculous that this is just how I imagined him. Stereotypes dont become stereotypes for nothing I guess

This man looks like everything wrong with modern society.

More so Acanthus Archmaster

Yes, please, that's a clever take on it.

If he is a Mage, he'd probably have high Gnosis but 2 dots at maximum in most Arcana.

Careful now, you'll make him cry and then, coincidentally, someone who is definitely not one of his fans nosiree will try to hack you or steal your identity and certain members of the OSR community will try to circle the wagons around him.

This waste of skin has fans? Well I shouldnt be surprised I guess, even moviebob and DSP have fans.

Alright, here you go. Just click on the second spoiler box.

He is considered a virtuoso by OSR sheep.

But why? He has no cosmic powers of his own. As said, he'd have a few tricks up his sleeve, and the TARDIS would be an obsolete creation of an Archmaster he adopted. I don't know how he'd do the Regeneration without being too powerful in Life, though.

>This waste of skin has fans? Well I shouldnt be surprised I guess, even moviebob and DSP have fans.

Moviebob still exist? I though he died or something after he was fire from the escapist.

Why didn't this crazy fuck get staked and left for the sun? Their prince must be fucking up.

I would love to see the Sabbat turn them into meat.

Thank you!

>implying the Sabbat wouldn't have a field day slaughtering thinblood degenerates
