I always assumed the Oracles transcended Tradition and were solely affiliated with one of the Spheres....

[Penelope]

Yes, but John Carter of Mars takes place in Victorian Times....

[Penelope]

Discord is kinda cool actually. I just joined like a month ago.

[Penelope]

Thank you. This really clarifies things....

[Penelope]

That makes sense. I agree with you that the Garou would probably neither know nor care that the Earthbound weren’t technically “of the Wyrm.”...

[Penelope]

Or the opposite, vampires who transcended to divine status centuries or even millennia after their Embrace....

[Penelope]

I think OPP will do a good job in depicting the Victorian period without giving into racist, sexist and anti-LGBTQ stereotypes, which is why I’m still backing it even though I was originally annoyed at having to create a whole new account just for this.

[Penelope]

Interesting, but I meant the House of Murnau specifically because before switching sides and joining the Inquisition they had been bound by an Infernal Pact to one of the Earthbound....

[Penelope]

Fascinating! I love it. I always wanted to do something interesting with the Knights of Rhadamanthys....

[Penelope]

This is a really interesting thread

But the Pisanob are Mayan necromancers. The Puttanesca family (which is actually a pasta sauce that literally means “whore’s sauce” in Italian because it smells like fish which in turn smells like...well, you know) are the ones with Mafia ties.

[Penelope]

That totally works. That’s universal enough to apply to almost any supernatural being with at least some connection to humanity....

[Penelope]

No One of Consequence I love the House of Murnau! So you just switched their original allegiance from the Earthbound to the Wyrm?

[Penelope]

Sounds like an awesome idea. And I agree, both WoD Inferno and the Demon Translation Guide might be very helpful.

[Penelope]

Once again, I agree with both of you guys. I’ve seen that thing about how torture really does work repeated as fact in novels too. I’m glad Storypath rejected that particular trope....

[Penelope]

Thank you....

Question: is steampunk like cyberpunk in Victorian times? Someone once tried to explain it to me and I still don’t entirely get it.

[Penelope]

Your first paragraph is 100% correct and I apologize for the error. My bad. I knew that, I just wasn’t thinking. But I don’t like your second paragraph because id and superego are tied to Freudianism, which is inherently sexist and assumes that sexuality is an inherently bad thing and has since been discredited by a lot of famous psychologists and psychiatrists.

My 3000th post! Yay!!!...

[Penelope]

Your campaign sounds really cool. And I didn’t know that Indiegogo was such a big deal. Now I feel better about their decision to switch.

[Penelope]

I like Victorian stuff and I have high hopes that OPP will do something good with it.

[Penelope]

Maybe a merchant house...
