W:tF Actual Play: The Eater of Names

Finally caught up on a whole slew of session uploads! Here are sessions 15 to 19, as the pack return to Hong Kong in the Three Harmonies story!

Unfortunately, session 15 cut off only an hour into the recording for reasons we aren't entirely sure of

We're trying to figure this out and you're the only authority I know that would really run this.

The Blast Numina.

'The spirit may wound opponents at a distance. Range is equal to 10 yards per dot of Power and the spirit does not suffer range penalties. If the activation roll succeeds, the Blast wounds as a +0L firearm. The spirit may increase the lethality of its Blast by paying Essence — every two Essence spent increases the “weapon” by +1L. The maximum weapon bonus is equal to the spirit’s Rank.'

We're discussing this in another thread and trying to decide if this power allows for the 'Defense vs Firearms' powers some people have. Some say that, because it doesn't say so, there is no way to avoid it beyond not being in range. But we're thinking because of 'the Blast wounds as a +0L firearm.' and how its damage bonus is called weapon bonus, it's treated similarly to a firearm.

Also, if it is indefensible, what rating fetish do you think would be appropriate to use a Numina?

I'd treat it as a firearm in terms of applicable defences, since that's the clear inference of it wounding as a firearm. If it wasn't for that, then I'd say Blast should allow Defence to be applied as normal against it as if it were any other non-firearm attack.

Hi Acrozatarim, just wanted to say I'm still enjoying this immensely, also that I still love the wiki, really inspiring for my lazy self

I do need to update the wiki, tbh, in the aftermath of Macau.

Is Episode 20 coming out soon? We ended on a bit of a Cliffhanger and I'm excited to see what happens to the pack next.

Thanks for the reminder! I'll get cracking with processing the next ones.

So I am fully aware that is is over a year later, but I recently started re-listening through all the old episodes again. And I was hoping there would still be some unreleased episodes out there somewhere.

Is there any chance of the story getting a continuation in some form or another? I absolutely love to get some more games Storytold by my favorite CofD Writer.

I'm curious, whatever happened to those 'Rat-Blooded' you mentioned?
