What do you think you'd run?

I'd be down for some DnD if that's what you've got the material for, i've never actually played a DnD game but i've always been a big fan of it (and as you can see in the other thread I posted I Farking love kingmaker).

Or would you be willing to put yourself through the horror of a Final War Sequel where I demolish Aman and only Aman because no one else would play? XD

Also i'm actually really happy where I left off. If i'd stopped at a point where all of you were still in your 9 separate threads I would have probably just given up, but after reading through everything you guys are all together right now for the first time in the last couple hundred posts of vampire

Since Forge mentionned he's into DnD and we're all a bunch of tabletop nerds I figured i'd give this a shoutout. Super fun game. Probably the third best game i've ever played actually, behind Witcher 3 and Nier Automata. Started out as a buggy mess but I enjoyed it so much regardless that after a friend let me play his copy I bought it for myself.

Mixed reviews were mostly due to it releasing largely unfinished (they ran out of money but they've mostly patched it by now) and people who couldn't handle the game's difficulty - start is a little tough like most DnD games but by the time your builds come online at ~7/8 you'll be rolling through stuff even on the higher difficulty settings.

Whole game is also on a timer, which sounds awful but the timer is very generous, it's mostly there to stop resting abuse, which is what normally trivializes the online tabletop adaptation games.

It does have long loading screens though, I wouldn't play it without an SSD to cut down the load times. It's got some good quality of life mods too, which you might check out. It's a very long game as well, they adapted the entirety of the kingmaker modules. It's massive to the point that after they released the game they admitted they should have probably cut some stuff because it made testing a nightmare (hence all the bugs on release).

If you've got the time/money to spend on it I can highly recommend picking it up when it probably goes on sale this christmas.

Hey, yeah, that's a pretty good choice, I like that

I was just going to run it through the super simple formula I have to calculate your average number of successes depending on difficulty but i'm fine with that too.

But yeah are you guys okay with my proposition?

Because I know we've had some pretty bad experiences in the past with freestyle roleplaying and I know what i'm proposing comes a little dangerously close to that

Vampire The Masquerade / Re: Transylvanian Chronicles OOC 2
« on: December 06, 2018, 03:47:59 pm »
So, I just finished re reading chapter 2 and the 8 chapter 2 associated threads. Got a pretty good idea of where we were. I might start to update this today, when I get home in about an hour, or more likely later tonight, after we talk a bit about the game.

So right now, reference desk is down. Rp portal was also taken down. There are a number of sites outside of those two but none of them are nearly as good as either of them were.

I have most of the books in either physical or pdf format but the problem is that looking powers up from individual books is a massive pain in the ass, as there are many variations of each ability, and there are many different options for discipline powers at 6 and up.

From now on I think any level ups will, until I can find another quality discipline list, will have to be you guys going out and searching for vampire powers, or asking me if something might be possible.

Also, I can just barely handle how long it takes to update character sheets and roll out large encounters. I’m considering just more or less deciding the majority of fights by averages or by ear, or by rule of cool - keeping in mind that I have been doing this for quite a bit of what has already been done and written, the exception being any conflict that might erupt between player characters and perhaps some special fights (for example if you guys fight an oncredibly important preplanned character like Gauthier). I trust each of you quite a bit of players and don’t believe that you would screw things up, and I trust that you guys also trust me to write as fun of a story as I can while operating under those rules. Re-reading the massive, almost novel length adventure that we’ve written together makes me certain that we can continue doing so under that format, if you guys are willing to do so.

Killer closes his eyes and keeps a spatial map of the castle grounds open to detect intruders. He can't ignore the possibility that the witches were watching Swane and knew about the theft.

Technically speaking I'm pretty sure Emend could scry and hack it using his space/forces combo without ever needing to touch it.

He could but he'd get dice penalties on the roll

As me instead of Beats. Aman's plan is prob the most solid. Split them up and attack suddenly when they are separated. The issue becomes planning for those shifting demon girls, we have to assume she can summon assistance within a very short time. So Blitz her but keep a locked portal open the whole time to allow easy retreat.

B&B are the more difficult ones, I keep getting wierd suspicions that even when 'They' are there, that it isn't really them and we would just destroy some remote piloted avatar flesh bag thing... Maybe I just got more paranoid since I started GMing myself

It's definitely possible, possession has always been a very prominent power in the WoD series, i'm pretty sure all the races and factions have access to it in some form or another.

I've done it a couple of times with you guys in vampire even.

I like Aman’s plan.

Killer would like to abduct and interrogate Swane but moral reasons so instead it looks like stealing the phone and tracking Gile’s mom through that is the way to go.

Forge’s plan is also great

To be entirely honest killer’s preferred plan would be to storm Blume and Blumenthal with a pair of fantastical monsters and a killer hornet swarm and slaughter the demons by turning them and their slaves against each other. This would cut off the mom’s support base and then we could go after her, but the dream is not yet fully possible

“Last time I checked those things were just as alive as us. There were some corruptions to their internal structure but I believe that like most other living things they aren’t very big fans of radiation or fire. Hopefully it can do at least part of our job for us, we can’t have monsters like that running around under the city.”

Killer starts the drive back to the castle where the disciples make their base, rather than risk Beats triggering a paradox.

"Miguel just said they went to the shadow. They probably have a lot of back up on that side that we can't really deal with."

Killer rubs his temples in frustration.

"I think we should head back to base and plan out our next move. Whoever it was that wanted to buy the heart is probably an extremely dangerous demon if they've got those things as their bodyguards. We need to find out who they are and where they're hiding. Our best bet has to be that sleeper, Robert Swane."

I love that none of us have any idea what Usdi can do because we never actually look at her character sheet, actually makes a lot of sense in-character

"I used a spell to suppress her sense of curiosity and amplify her sense of self preservation to have her look away instead of continuing to gawk at us, it appears the spell was significantly more potent than I expected and drove her temporarily insane with fear - it's not normally supposed to be so extravagantly effective, especially as I was triggering multiple mental effects at once", Saint explains rather matter-of-factly.

"I'll cancel the spell now, at least she's out of sight and we can heal Robor."

After Usdi heals Robor on her own (much to Killer's delight and surprise), he casts analyze life on both Robor and Beats to make sure that they aren't being afflicted by anything else and are in appropriate condition to go onwards.

124

As for healing, Beats is able to heal himself now so Killer just kind of assumed he would do that if he felt like he needed it. If he knew Beats was radioactive though he'd be helping out but Beats hasn't mentioned anything about how he got dunked in radiation

He will heal Robor though, just waiting for the old woman to LEAVE ALREADY GODDAMMIT YOU NOSY WITCH

Then when everyone's healed up we would actually be able to give taking on the witches/planting a tracking device a shot.

Hey I was down! Team is just slow on the uptake! And also whenever I try to do something alone in the past I've died

But also this is such a bad situation for us we're in no position to take action on those witches

Disciples / Re: Witches & Demons & Flies - Oh My!
« on: October 28, 2018, 01:09:50 pm »
Oh, forgot she could do that

Killer mumbles a spell at the old woman to have her leave (Lizard brain, suppress curiosity, enhance sense of self-preservation).

127
Disciples / Re: Disciples OOC
« on: October 27, 2018, 11:00:28 am »
Oh yeah, should have probably healed Beats before now, uh

I'll just say it was because killer assumed they were normal burns and not radiation burns

Would just like to point out that if we were all evil we could use portals to unleash the vozhd into that restaurant and lizard brain/puppetry to have them focus down the witches, all mostly paradox free, while forcing the other vampires to do damage control and hush the media

Disciples / Re: Witches & Demons & Flies - Oh My!

Killer briefly considers making an attempt to control the thing again but decides against wasting resources on something when they're already in a fairly precarious situation with the witches nearby. "Poor creatures. We should put them out of their misery when we can. Too dangerous to leave them in the sewers, don't want to think of what happens if they get into the city."

He looks back at Beats.

"Alright, Robor's on this side now. You can open up the next portal - or we can leave Robor here for now and take him with us when we portal out. This is what, your third portal of the day? You might have some pretty nasty backlash building up."

"Beats, open a portal back where you came from. I can send Miguel through and he can drag Robor over to this side. Then you can open another portal to the castle and Miguel can drag Robor through that. I don't think we can do anything else for him while he's still in the twilight without Morrowind."

I’m pretty sure portals opened are opened in both the spirit world and the real world

Or at least, I assume that’s the case because otherwise Migel wouldn’t be able to follow us when we portal around everywhere

134
Disciples / Re: Disciples OOC
« on: October 14, 2018, 08:36:08 am »
This is really interesting because we actually have no way of saving robor outside of asking for help.

Unless Miguel is in the same part of the veil as Robor is we just literally can’t interact with him at all. Even if Miguel is in there I don’t know that that would actually accomplish anything. Maybe we can carry him back to the veil around the castle but that’s about it. We pretty much have to ask Morrowind for help if we don’t want to abandon Robor until he wakes up on his own (which I don’t think he should, recovery rules should mean he dies from his wounds).

135
Disciples / Re: Disciples OOC
« on: October 13, 2018, 03:04:49 pm »
Berka's saying we won't get an answer, so it seems like we go through with the plan to plant something on one of the witches.

Though they actually seem to be trying to find out where we went at the moment, which I guess makes sense.

"You didn't feel it?" Killer answers Miguel.

"The heart activated. I don't know how or exactly why, but me asking to meet the client personally probably resulted in the heart's destruction somehow, and there was no presumably no series of events where that meeting did not end in the heart's destruction, so it brought us back to before I asked to meet the owner. I can only assume that the person we're meeting with wants to destroy the heart without knowing that it can turn back time on its destruction, and is extremely stubborn."

Disciples / Re: Disciples OOC

I am wondering why they stayed in the first place though, maybe they felt Emend’s scrying spell and stayed behind as bait?

Disciples / Re: Disciples OOC

A solid 25% of Saint’s offensive power is in prebuffs, another 35% is in summons, and all the rest is in mind control, and he doesn’t have time to do the first two  right now, if the whole party isn’t here I don’t see us killing/capturing four full fledged witches/demons without Killer being given free reign to sacrificd as many innocent people as possible which the others probably won’t let him do. Miguel being there might be a solid trump card though, even if we’ve forgotten about him...

Though even if we go for the witches I feel like they can call on backup pretty easily. We should probably honestly just leave, or do what Killer suggests and try to slip a tracking spell into their food if they order anything.

"No idea, just a vague sense that we were in danger if we continued to stay there. It seems that no matter what if we went into that meeting the heart gets destroyed. Could it be that the buyer's goal is to destroy the heart?"

"If Beats and Robor won't be available for a while we could try to slip a tracking item onto them like we did with the vampires. The danger they'll notice us is there but we could tip or possess a waiter, or slip something into their food, if they order anything."

Well, it was always really BZ, Forge, Aman and Daed who were the core four of the playthrough, though I don't know if D is around anymore. but unlike Seth D will have left me with two really good NPCs to make use of with Saladin being pretty awesome while not being too important to the story, and Lucius being absolutely ridiculously insane and an awesome way to personify Kupala

Killer looks to Emend while Robert is texting and whispers cut his signal.

If Emend doesn't take any action to stop Swane from texting his client he'll immediately puppet the man using a willpower point, and will have the man's throat convulse wildly and forcibly shut while he's typing, make him lose feeling in his hands and fingers so that he doesn't notice when he's forced to drop his phone, and just generally give him and others the impression that he's choking to death. He'd leave the man control of his body beyond those two factors and leave with Usdi, cancelling the puppetry as soon as they were clear of the building.

"I can call and confirm a later date with you, I can assure you we are still interested in selling but if Isaac says there is an emergency it must be quite serious."
