Few art pieces are missing, but yeah gotta love the art.

Well what's the 3rd circle that's doing the possession? That helps narrow things down a bit since there's a difference in themes represented by a third circle. I think one of Kimberry's thirds is basically an insanely chaotic blood red moon, and another is a more humanoid appearing general who can erode fortress walls by glaring at them.

Charms tagged with the eclipse keyword. These are spirit charms that an Eclipse caste Solar can learn and use. Sort of a compromise to enable them to still do the person of many worlds with the supernatural tricks even among other solars thing, but not the hell of minmaxed power that access to all charms gave them in 2e....

Are we talking book version or TV version? Because it seems like there are few things that might make things a bit trickier to handle around in the books. I mean apparently at least one main character came back as an undead who wasn't a white walker, so that might be a problem. Granted I can also see my collective group deciding that their solution is to get the Twilight Doctor to cure greyscale, so the party doesn't have to deal with people they like getting infected, and then taking anyone they like and living on a different continent from the zombie apocolypse.

[nalak42]

Sadly not the one with ranks in occult. Actually our campaign is early on and only the two sorcerers have occult ranks let alone favored and they didn't go much further than demon/elemental summoning and learning how to murder ghosts when they show up. Which I suppose might divert the wrath of the locals if a pack of summoned demon gorillas and wood spiders started eating the local child population and no one had seen the exalts do the summoning.

Hmm actually fair assumption that summoning wouldn't be against the spirit of this right? What was that one demon, I think 2nd circle, that...

So I'm watching a show called Channel 0 and the first season is operating from an old creepypasta called Candle Cove. Granted it jumps away from the initial premise of the creepypasta rather quickly since the original story was just people comparing notes about a show they remember watching when they were really young. (And I'll leave it there for those who might want to look up the story later.)

Anyway in the show the conflict is that children are being infected by this Candle Cove show and well brutally murdering people and/or ripping the teeth out of their heads. Which honestly...

[nalak42]

Ah I love this show's music.

Well that golden sword is giving me flashbacks to Nightblood, might use it as the base for a sword of conquest this edition that sounds fun.

[nalak42]

That said one of the alternate methods of destroying the ring was just get someone better at forging than its own creator to do it. With the complication being that by that point in the setting the only individuals better were literally gods. Course many is the exalt that would work out a method for getting one of them to actually show up to handle the job if the exalt didn't feel the need to devote itself to literal divine heights of crafting.

As for the book I'm currently reading, well they'd probably be finding out how being an exalt interacts with the system of the world. Like...

But being made to do a job wouldn't count towards or against an entity's role. I mean it doesn't matter for or against her reflecting on an indulgence if The Weaver of Voices has to guard a tomb and doesn't like it. Think of the demons as sort of operating on a theme from their progenitor. So Benegerie isn't necessarily specifically more indulgent than say Sondok, but she represents more of Ligier's indulgences that the Green Sun enjoys building and creating things and probably has a fondness for creating the best things for those who've given the most for his services. If you can convince him...

Bit of relevant necromancy here: Season two started yesterday. So minor thing not much of a spoiler we have a character named Princess of Cruelty now.

Meanwhile near the Pole of Fire


I feel like this one would make for an interesting city location.

Read the sidebar again, the victim needs to see your eyes, if they're looking at your shoes its not working. Touch is a bit of a tricky one since the Fist of Nightmare merit is a thing that exists and the purpose of that merit is to allow one to store a nightmare to inflict on a person via touch. Either way this doesn't really stop the ST from imposing restrictions if you start going with the idea of "Well the nightmare lasts a scene and the core gives a scene's length as about an hour, so every 59 minutes I start spamming You Must Obey on my target to ensure I maintain control for another...

[nalak42]

Well scenes are variable in length so the 1 hour of game time thing isn't really a good metric to use. As for how many times you can use an atavism or nightmare, there's not really a limit on them as written. Atavisms are technically just letting your Horror bleed out into the material world a bit ie rending claws isn't creating claws its just letting the claws out and slashing stuff with them.
Nightmares also lack a limit to number of uses in a scene, however, you do have to manage eye contact with the victim before you can make them deal with the check to see if it takes hold. I would...

And the horrified looks if they think the Immaculates put it there, "Oh my god they're shoving spider robots in people to manipulate destiny!"

As far as it goes, it wouldn't be too bad an idea to workshop with the group just to make sure you're all on the same page and that maybe check what they know. I mean for all we know they're figuring the loom is massive, but that its stored inside an extradimensional space that they can steal easily. Plus you can get some extra ideas based on what the players are figuring, like if they're thinking the loom is like a central hub through...

Low satiety Infested:
"Oh god my head hurts." *Collapse on ground or nearest wall and just have your head burst into bugs on impact.

Satiety boost Vengeful Earth + Cyclopean strength= Giant stone arms that let you pick up people's cars and stack them on top of eachother or on roofs, or whatever is nearby that it would make no bloody sense for a parked car to be on/in.

I also believe Skin Deep can be used for all kinds of, "Dang it do I have a mosquito bite or something?"

[nalak42]

Also an important point would be what are the backgrounds of the DBs? A bunch of outcastes or lost eggs a solar might be willing to trust when they sign on, but you get a few scions from a Great House and well frack ever trusting that without a method to kill them at a moment's notice in case of sudden betrayal....

[nalak42]

Isn't there also a trick about opening the gates? I know spirits are supposed to be able to get in easily enough, but I think ,at least in 2E, you needed sorcerery to get the gate open on the Creation side. So depending on how difficult it is to get the gate open without the help of a spirit that might also influence the security. Afterall if it requires a sorcerous ritual taking an hour to open the door without a god then it can probably just be folded into normal patrol routines and whatever security the area would necessitate as it would be unlikely for someone to open the door quickly without...

[nalak42]

You said the Wyld Hunt is already in pursuit, how known are they to it? Like does the Wyld Hunt just have the reports of 5 anathema in the area they were in, or has the circle been made?

[nalak42]

And of course there's family. I mean this is a repository of relics, and knowledge collected over who freaking knows how long by Beasts. As we've mentioned Mages took a shot at this place to get at the information it holds, stands to reason some Beasts might join just because having access to the resources this place makes available might benefit their allies.
