BoO does indeed have a section with sample Necropoli.

I have no idea how many and the breadth of the locations featured, but they're there.

(and hence why it's my other most anticipated release when it comes to WoD20, apart from the C20 PG)...

[tasti man LH]

Right?

It's kind of ridiculous the number of ways a Renegade gang could embody.



Yeah. I think similar to Anarchs, it's mentioned that if every single Renegade united, they could easily overthrow the Hierarchy. But because they have wildly different (and more often then not, completely incompatible) ideologies, that's never going to happen. Even with the Renegade Council concept, the way how it's portrayed seems to suggest that such a thing wouldn't last long if attempted to implement....

The $75k for the fourth section of the Companion left, hmm?

*flashbacks to CtL2e's big push at the end*

...

[tasti man LH]

$69k goal achieved. Next is the $70k Plague Bearer pledge tier.

[tasti man LH]

...huh. Not sure how I missed the bit about him writing a bit for Hunter 2e....

[tasti man LH]

?

First time I'm hearing this. Source?...

[tasti man LH]

Oh, both Contagion Scout pledges were nabbed...but I *think* someone dropped out of the $650 Consulting Developer pledge.

[tasti man LH]

Yeah. Although I think the issue that's been talked about here and elsewhere is that the material...doesn't make it explicitly clear that PCs SHOULD be Renegades, or directly calling it out that the Hierarchy and Dark Kingdoms are oppressive imperialistic regimes. In the case of Wr20, nothing that's quite the equivalent of the "Modern Feudalism" sidebar in C20.

Which again, the very freeform nature of Heretics/Renegades can leave unprepared players lost on how hey should be doing the groups "correctly"....

[tasti man LH]

So, still stewing and putting together that chronicle I mentioned a while ago, and I'm now getting to the part of assembling together factions...including Heretics and Renegades.

Heretics and Renegades are potentially one of the most customizable aspects of, not just Wraith, but of World of Darkness in general.

1. Heretics and Renegades have no universal creed. Unlike equivalent factions in the other WoD gamelines (Vampire's Anarchs, Mage's Disparate Crafts, etc) Heretics and Renegades have no universal ideology that they follow. There's nothing like the Anarch Manifesto...

[tasti man LH]

...oh hey, $64k goal with a new section for Global Outbreaks achieved.

Also, new goals beyond the Contagion Scout tier revealed:

*checks the counting down clock*

Alright, let's see how we do......

[tasti man LH]

We're not your echo chamber.

We're not obligated to agree with your opinions, just because you want us to....

[tasti man LH]

No. They already confirmed that Sekhem will still decrease over time, and going as far as saying that that's part of what makes Mummy unique among the other CofD gamelines. Therefore, no reason to change it....

[tasti man LH]

T-shirt tier achieved!

[tasti man LH]

Well, FWIW, the Mummy antagonist used in the KS draft for Contagion Chronicle does list Virtue/Vice...but it also has a big disclaimer at the top claiming that the stat arrangement might change as Mummy 2e gets closer to final drafts. So take care....

[tasti man LH]

Something to remember when the time comes for CofD 3e? ...

[tasti man LH]

Ah, looks like we’re all good. The “War” tier for the Contagion Companion book has been achieved!

[tasti man LH]

Either way, if bad effects are more omnipresent they stay stuck in your head and you remember it more versus the previous scenes that were more effect-less.



...why is that relevant?...

[tasti man LH]

It can't be helped...doesn't stop it from being noticeably bad.

And incidentally, in the scenes you cited, those take up far less run-time versus Aquaman's, where the underwater scenes and Atlantis make a significant chunk. So for me, Aquaman's bad CG is more immediately noticeable because it has a larger presence....

[tasti man LH]

...actually no, I retract that a bit.

The new cover art has some faded (ghostly?) keys overlaid with the regular keys. Not that bad, actually.
