Yeah. Hell, the complexity offered in a single Variation, it occurred to me it's very possible to build a Deviant character concept around just one Variation....

[tasti man LH]

Welp, with current events as it is, at least I have time to get through my backlog. Including getting through the KS draft...

*pages and pages later*

Holy hell why is there so many Variations??? I haven't felt this overwhelmed by #AllThePowers since first going through V20's Disciplines!!!

[tasti man LH]

...to keep a relatively even spread of splats per Era? :P...

[tasti man LH]

Ok, so I'm not someone who can just bang out a Thing within a fortnight, so here's one concept I got rattling around: "The Wild Lawman" (name pending, I'm terrible at names).

Basically, they're a roaming private investigator. They tend to be attracted to freeholds where the courts/factions involved are so thoroughly compromised/corrupt and are too invested in politicking with each other, that they can't reliably resolve serious crimes and bring the relevant parties to justice. That's where the Lawman comes in: they are THE third party to solving crimes and exposing the truth,...

Yeah. You have no idea how disappointed I was when the old Hierarchy book barely went into anything like the above...>,>

Hell, despite how much the fiction rams in how important the Dictum Mortuum is on maintaining the Hierarchy's power, there isn't really anything to explain HOW they enforce it. It's not like you can just assume they do it the same way how the Camarilla enforces the Traditions or how the Technocracy keeps an eye out for Reality Deviants to be equally applicable here since...well...game's mostly set in an Otherworld, and said Otherworld is very resource scarce...

Bumping this to mention that Oak, Ash, and Thorn adding new Courtless organizations of changelings that are still empowered by Bargains and Mantles: free companies, traveling bands, and lost dynasties,

[tasti man LH]

Bad news. Seems like due to the slow progress of the KS, and because of the coronavirus crisis, the KS is getting cancelled and moved to a later date.

Doom: Eternal ended up being my 3/20/2020 game of choice.

While I did increase the difficulty then how I did when starting up Doom 2016...but even then, it feels like the encounters are harder then the equivalent difficulty I played later on. Feels like the more tougher enemies get introduced much sooner then in the previous game. I do like how the weapon sandbox has much more utility and that, of the weapons I've unlocked, now have specific uses against particular enemies or more distinctive roles (for instance, the sniper mode on the heavy assault rifle is now useful for shooting...

[tasti man LH]

Nvm that right now, it's apparently a bit of an issue on creating new sub-forums....

[tasti man LH]

It's one way of doing it, yeah.

For me personally, I do think it's a bit too much of a hassle to have the PCs navigate a maze of Shadowland and Skinland buildings. Especially considering one bad move could lead to them going Incorporeal...and taking one Bashing damage. It's not a lot at first, yeah, but it adds up over time. And you run the risk of making taking damage trivial to your players.

And it would get tedious to turn the act of entering a building a navigation puzzle.

In my games, I have it that the buildings that exists in whatever realm the Wraith...

I believe sometime after the Zac S controversies, they were quietly pulled from a few of the digital storefronts.

[tasti man LH]

Sure, go ahead!...

So Oak, Ash, and Thorn companion is now out and about (for backers) which means now we can dig into the 2e version of Entitlements.

And with provided guidelines to create your own Entitlements...homebrew thread time! Share the Entitlements you've come up with, and discuss 2e Entitlements in general.

[tasti man LH]

In Wr20? Yeah there is. Page 335....

[tasti man LH]

Welcome!

And good luck on running one of the hardest WoD games to ST. xD


The general rule of thumb is that if the relic needed a power source to operate, they need Pathos. Doesn't matter if it's the wraith's own Pathos or from a soulfire crystal, it needs that in order to function.


It's not mandatory, no.

While it is absolutely possible for a wraith to have first been reaped by the Hierarchy but then joins a different group later, it doesn't have to go that way. There would be Renegade or Heretic Reapers that could find a new wraith...
