I do like the system and think it’s interesting, although naturally it won’t work for every chronicle.

What I’d say is that for this system it seems best to specify the range of what it effects or to give an idea about the number of steps a CAMPAIGN needs to achieve a VICTORY of certain size and impact.

A three step campaign to make a club susceptible to an ecstatics persuasions seems fair enough to me, especially for a rules light system, although some additional references for intended scale seems like many would find it useful to me.

I feel like The Inconnu are a sect that works best when they’re styled to the flavor of conspiracy or secret society that suits the interest of the ST. I will include some of the ideas and options that occur to me.

When I think about the Backstory of the Inconnu, I usually place their origins in the society of Rome. The vampiric senate of Rome would collapse alongside the empire as barbarians raid from the land and the split within the empire. As the vampiric society of europe collapsed into new fiefs, the neonates of the time learning to survive while many ancillae fled eastward...

Seekings are always going to be specific to the individual but some general ideas for inspiration: the epiphany that the detective uses to solve a case in a mystery show, the feeling of solving a mathematics or logic problem, the ‘eureka!’ feeling; search for the moment of insight that lets the character put a bunch of pieces together to see a larger picture.

Also keep in mind the phase of Awakening they’re on. While this will vary table to table I have 1-5 represent a further understanding of their paradigm and 6-10 a gradual realization of the insignificance of their paradigm,...

I think it’s an interesting concept and it’s the kind of thing I might adapt for my own games! I’m not a crunch-head so my only suggestion might be that some of the lower level threat responses feel like they should be in response to higher threat scores but aside from that I think it’s interesting. Hope you continue to work on it!

Glad to see that this thread returned on the very next day after the International Transgender Day of Visibility /s

We’ve been over this in circles time and time again but I’ll go over the basics of my stance again and offer my support for those who have returned to these trenches like Heavy Arms.

There is a valid argument to be made that thematic stories could be told using the Black Furies about Trans-Woman fighting to be recognized in the face of TERF-y attitudes (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists), which the tribe of Pegasus could serve as a useful allegory...

On the question of communication, something else to consider is the existence of Assamite Sorcerers have access to blood magic that could be used for them to coordinate and communicate across the world; which means that the field Assamite does have the benefit of simply needing to contact their nearest sorcerer so they can begin the telephone game hopping sorcerers until they reach Alamut and the field agent can receive instructions coming back through the chain of command.

Again on the matter of the magical vessel I would say that any sorcerers sent out into the field to work as...
