Recruiting for a Mage the Ascension game (details here: →), add me on Discord if you're interested: Vigne#6193

Which is the best CofD game for playing cute kitsune?

>How would you make the Samuel Haight of CofD?

By shooting the first dumb motherfucker who tries to publish it.

Posting my update to the Legacies document before this thread falls to shit again.
Just finished the Chior of Hashmallim.
Any requests for what's next?
I'm considering the Clavs.

I don't know, but I'd bet it would involve my girlfriend dumping me, a whole load of alcohol, and wanting to take out my shit on my group.

...fucking post limit.

I think part of the issue is that those subcultures are practically right wing compared to some of the 'I identify as a Helicopter' fringes we have now. That said, kek, I remember that sidebar.

I think the fear is that it will ONLY be used for an agenda, with no other representation. For all it's sins, oWoD always gave all sides a shake at the die. You could play a well-dressed conservative as straight as a punk Anarch or BDSM fetishist fishMalk. All in the same room. In fact, that was where some of the fun came from. Part of the hate for SJWs is that they shut down and shun anything that triggers them, and everything fucking triggers them. Speaking generally of course. I may never have met one, but there must be rational people left on the Left.

Woo more legacies.
Have you done the Echo Walkers yet they have a 'legacy only' spell as well but with more attainments now it could work? Not sure.

I would recommend 'changing breeds' except I seem to recall it being kind of shit.

Legophages make them not be a GM nightmare.

Perfected adepts? For anyone who wants to play a punch-wizard.

Probably Changeling, its pretty easy for your mein to be fairly yiff tastic tho magically somehow still fuckable.

Hor people who want to know about the drama with white wolf.

(OP)
Make him a mage. That seems to be about the same fucking thing.

>How would you make the Samuel Haight of CofD?
A Changeling in the Lord Sages Of The Unknown Reaches with an imbued item that lets him activate artifacts and demon Lambdas. The rest takes more work than I want to do to fill out but it gives you a whole host of options.

The kind of progressive intolerance and the need to make absolutely everything also has the result in making things that pattern-match on to their worldview be viewed with suspicion in a way they wouldn't have been before. If you posted a photo of the cast of something like Predator now, you'd have to wonder if it wasn't so ethnically diverse in order to prod you with the writer's politics, even though that wouldn't occur seeing it at the time.

Anti-establishment politics, where the establishment is actually lambasted in full (as in, no raging about anti-abortion Christians and leaving it at that,) won't annoy people much because you're by necessity taking shots across a wide range of political targets. If politicians in a general sense are evil, the grouping of people that will annoy is minuscule, but if Republicans specifically are evil, it's understandable if conservatives get annoyed.

Requesting Ascended Adepts and Perfected Adepts!

Kek

Is it bad that I see a homebrew mage splat and immediately think "Oh, fuck... Is Aspel back?"

Is Zak Smith a Beast?

>when the cringe hits

I'd love to see Blank Badges if you haven't done them yet.

Spoilers.

Huh, I guess you aren't really a thinblood. Or is your 'fangs coming in' something I've forgotten? It's been years, and I was always more a Demon fan.

One World of Darkness is off to a terrible start.

As it should be.

Fuck White Wolf

Ah, never mind, all the reading is deadening my comprehension. Diablarie. Though I thought you had to drain the 'target' dry? And basically 'fight' souls, in a battle of wills no thinblood should have won over an experienced Tremere?

Can you do the Transhuman Engineers?

It's possible, monty coven diablerized Mithras but after some time Mithras possessed him

>could have done game about beckett and exploring ancient artifacts, tying it with Beckett's diary and shoehorning in famous characters like Dracula, Vykos and Isabelle
>instead do this shit

Has Swedracula lost his mind?

I'm honestly amazed and appalled by the stupidity of White Wolf.

Yes, let's just go ahead and hire some pretentious social abusing stalker.

Would really love to see DavidH knock the skinny fucker's teeth in.

...

Its up to you to end the migrant crisis. Only you can save Sweden from the invading Batini menace.

I'm always up for a good cripple fight.

Okay, this looks more promising, and I have heard it's well written. I've never had the opportunity to play Mage before, so this will be good for me.

>I didn't realize I was still capable of optimism. Huh.

...

David would destroy Zak

>mfw they can't make a Vampire game because the elders want them to come so they can feed on them and can't make a Werewolf game cause they'll kill them all

>Most of them are boys and men.

See, this is how you fucking do it. You tell the whole story, and don't try to push an agenda.

That said, there is still time. But I can already appreciate there is a better writer at the helm this time.

to be fair, women have a ton of women only shelters. And I caj imagine they're somewhat nicer than a general shelters.

Its funny to think all started because David and Filomena started throwing stones from their oh so very glass house.

Its certainly good to see that fucker ruining changeling get knocked around.

Sure, but my point is that so far this game is staying on topic without being preachy or diving off the leftist agenda cliff without a rightly maintained chute.

The writing is decent. I'm finding the border images rough on the eyes though. It looks good and fits the Mage aesthetic, but I'd prefer not to be blind by the time I'm done.

Well aren't you a special kind of bitch

>runing changeling
e1 was kind of shit both setting wise and more importantly mechanically. So anything would he better to what was before it.

And zac being a piece of shit with mental problems isn't their fault. He didn't start it either zac was a piece of shit human being the entire time.

eh, expatriate japanaboo getting his comeuppance for talking so much shit about things he knows nothing about. Sounds fair to me.

Tell me about your Autumn Court changelings Veeky Forums.

>Its funny to think all started because David and Filomena started throwing stones from their oh so very glass house.

Can you expand?

I'm trying to figure out what resonance this NPC would have about himself/his magic. If its not clear he uses a portal generator and the lightning calculator merit to murder local politicians.

>8mb

what kind of fucking image is this

whoops. Kinda high forgot to reformat it.

The whole feud started because Filomena blew a gasket over Zak's group being featured in maxim. Called it bad for women, and gaming.

Zak called her on that bullshit, things devolved from there, David and Filomena had their fans harass Zak, and Zak responded in kind.

So in the end both parties dont deserve any pity

I mean one ruined a vampire videogame the other did this

>Its certainly good to see that fucker ruining changeling get knocked around.

Hey Zak. Spelling Filamena's name wrong doesn't make people think you're not Zak.

I'd argue Zak's contributions to gaming are more important then Hill's.

Not to mention the constan stream of harassment they send Zak's way first maxim, then contributor-gate, now this. They are dead set on trying to keep him from ever being hired by anyone again.

Its no-platforming regressive bullshit

I guess you'll never have to worry when he quits rhen because it'll be a qhile before he leaves .

>How would you make the Samuel Haight of CofD?

7th son of a 7th son or something of a revenant family, to get the Lucifuge and Ghoul powers in there.

Later that person awakens as a mage.

That's as far as I can take it.

I know its popular to accuse everyone who agrees with him of being Zak, but I'm not him. Just a poor old user.

And I'll apologize for misspelling her name, it wasn't intentional.

This is Zak

Considering he's been harassing people for years under sock puppets and has done this to a shitload of people fuck him. He deserves it. This is the onky person and his contributions are shit if hes going to be a piece of shit who targets anyone he doesn't like. He's an aging egotisical man-baby. And David might have shitty opinions and his japan setting was a travesty but no he doesn't deserve to be stalked and harassed because he called out a piece of shit human being for being a piece of shit human being.

There's a Deadly Premonition joke somewhere in there.

Isn't that right Zak?

>deadly pemonition joke
get with the times grampa I know you're forty but come on.

The paranoia is real

I'm just having fun making fun a forty year old who looks like sixty and is a piece of shit. I don't like david's opinions on most things but I don't hate him as a person. Zak's just trash.

Remember these forty year old hippies would have been born in the early 80s

I think your math is a bit off there.

Late 70's would be 40ish.

He has a wiki on him. He was born in 76.

Well, I feel a bit better that he's older then me

*phew*

For anyone in doubt, DaveB was posting on Reddit about the current atmosphere at OPP. Needless to say its not good.

So even your saviour is really unhappy with this situation, its not just DavidH being fanny flustered about ZakS.

People are gonna say Changing Breeds, but I'm gonna say probably Changeling if you just want to be a cute sparkly girl with fox tail and ears, plus maybe some illusionary powers.

I might have been giving the benefit of the doubt, but wow, whats a middle age(41) man stalking dyes on the internet all about? like I know vamp brings out the weirdos but whats the fire all about?

They're all worried White Wolf is just going to bypass then as a writers pool.

I think you're reaching there, Zak.

>DaveB
>my savior

Yeah, no. All these dumb motherfuckers need to grow up. Harassment and pictures of your kids' school and shit? Call the fucking cops. There is recourse, especially when stuff gets to the point of prosecution.

Be a fucking adult, not a shit-flinging monkey on the intertubes.

He's a painter and a writer. Most of them tend to be egotistical jackasses with fragile egos.

>Call the fucking cops

Already happened. They did nothing.

Apparently david did call the cops and just like restraining orders they actually do very little about it.

Where on reddit? Their wold of darkness forum is the only related sub I could think of that wasn't on private and nobody's posted their in seven days.

>For anyone in doubt, DaveB was posting on Reddit about the current atmosphere at OPP. Needless to say its not good.
>So even your saviour is really unhappy with this situation, its not just DavidH being fanny flustered about ZakS.

Do you have a link for that? I cant find it on reddit

/r/WhiteWolfRPG, it's in the thread about the preludes.

Wait what the fuck is going on?

Link?

White Wolf hired some Yale graduate porn star bully.

>Something Awful

shit my bad

Sorry guys, I meant Something Awful

Here's al ink. It's a whopping one line about 'not good'.

archives.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3712435&userid=187851&perpage=40&pagenumber=4

Just finished working on the Echo Walkers.
Basically their entire schtick is about peeking at the Soul behind your normal Soul, then their attainments are about being the kind of kooky Spirit-Supernal-God-People they think preceded mankind, whose souls they're now using.
My headcanon is that they're kinda right, Dragons are the pre-human civilisation, their mass Ascension handed the world to the monkey-race so they could have a go. Which is why Dragons are sympathetic to every single Path.

So they can discern the nature of life, becoming immune to toxins/diseases, control their bodies, grant themselves a fraction of the pre-human race's power, and then control Sleepers en-masse.
For a Prime-Secondary Legacy, the Echo Walkers were actually pretty fun to make.

I actually put a pretty funny system in where to learn the later Attainments, you've got to knock an increasing number of Sleeper's souls out of alignment to get the glimpse of glory behind them. Also because that can easily be an Obsession, and they're addicted to following it, they can be a real fucking Beat engine.

Going to work on some of the other legacies before Logophages. That one would likely take up a ludicrous amount of time trying to figure out how to make the whole "eat secrets, get power" system work for 5 whole Attainments.

Two people asked for Perfected Adepts, so I'll give them a shot. Hopefully won't take too long.

Zak, fuck off and die - you're a burning mound of sweaty pubic hair masquerading as a human being. Your revisionist history is bullshit and your writing is garbage.

Tell us how you really feel user,

Prelude was really that garbage? I heard it was bad.

>Your revisionist history

??

user still thinks I'm Zak, and he disagrees with the chain of events I posted earlier.

Wonderful work on the Echo Walkers, much appreciated!

I would disagree with you even if you weren't Zak shitposting on Veeky Forums.

Cunt why would you even bother, you can't even sockpuppet as anyone '''''important'''''.

You're Zak
I'm Zak
We're all Zak!

It is funny that although Zak supposedly has a secret army of trolls, every time someone shows up to defend him, its actually just Zak.

I'm not Zak, I'm Alpharius

Could we all just shut up are start wanking Mage again?

So the Stunned tilt occurs if an attack deals damage equal to the size of the target (e.g. 5-6 damage).

Can spells also stun? It would make sense but I'm not sure if masters need even more ass kicking power.

Discussing douche writers makes me depressed

Discussing magefaggery makes me fucking angry

I would rather be angry than sad.

Mage wank it is.

As a Mage, how can I make myself into a better werewolf than a werewolf?

Why gimp yourself to fight like a werwolf?

By getting more xp then what a normal chronicle allows.

To prove that I'm better than them even at their niche of being a giant furry death machine in close combat.
