    Nobody has suggested making a clone of yourself, the process of turning a clone into a Promethean is explicitly able to be shorter and less elaborate than the normal generative act, it's expressly possible that doing so may qualify for the required multiplicatio milestone of a given Promethean's Pilgrimage, and the question being asked is whether this might allow one of the Hollow — a Lineage whose generative act stopped working in late 1939 — to become human.

    As with any question for which this many niche elements are applied, the answer is "sure, if that works for your game and the story your group wants to tell."

      Ahh, thank you! I misunderstood; I thought the asker was going to try to clone themselves and produce a Promethean from the clone once it matured, which…apart from the questionable ethics, would take quite a long time to accomplish.

            vague actually. there is a chance, an extremely small chance, that they could reach the new dawn if they go to a location with a similar environment, like the Australian outback

                From the perspective of someone who has no idea what has changed between editions, which of the first edition books seem to retain important aspects of the setting and background for the game?

                  All of them. They has not been lots of Fluff changes. So all of the books should still work.

                    I don't know where else to ask this.
                    Was there ever a Promethean 2nd prestige Kickstarter edition? Google isn't helping, or I am incompetent. I see nothing on Ebay for sale.
                    Sorry if this is something really obvious, but I just don't know where I can ask.
                    Thx.

                            From someone unfamiliar with the game: is it possible to play this without following the story thread of becoming human? I don't know how brutal disquiet is.

                              I mean, sure. Did you have specific other plans?

                              I don't know how brutal disquiet is.
                              It requires people to roll less successes with two Attributes than you roll on one Trait that you always have the option of reducing to 1, it doesn't advance past "this person is much harder for you to socially influence and may, at your option, attempt to violently remove you from their presence" outside of a highly unlikely roll or in specific chunks of real estate that are more manageable at low levels of that same Trait that you can always reduce to low levels.

                                Once a promethean has mastered all the roles of a refinement, can he create multiple athanor with that knowledge or only one?
                                And if he obtain a regular failure in the athanor creation can he try again, expending again the vitriol exp?
