I love Wraith deeply but I never really understood the attraction of Orpheus, I tried it a couple of times but I always felt like I'd rather be playing Wraith.

"... a long time fan .........who says that he’s dedicated to respecting the world of ********** while introducing new lore."

Yep, pretty much exactly that phrase was said ( typed) to me by Matthew Dawkins about V5 before it came out in an attempt to allay the concerns I had during playtesting.

And here we are.

Maybe I'm wrong, I'd super-love to be wrong but every recent experience I've had tells me I'm not.

I don't think I've ever used a Canon NPC in a game let alone killed one. Well, there was a mention of Squizzy Taylor but they never actually met him.

Apparently you use Loresheets to buy into your actual Clan or something....its kinda weird....

[Damian May]

For what? Just checked back through all their posts in this thread and every statement was about the work.

I mean it wasn't nice words about the work but there was no personal abuse there at all....

[Damian May]

Sure...ok. Must have imagined it....

Not even sure what your talking about in that second bit. I'm gonna pop you on ignore cos your coming off a little unhinged....

[Damian May]

Really? Cos I'm gonna say I've never seen them being personally called names....with the exception of Martin who started out by abusing anyone and everyone who didn't play the Way he played.

Work critiqued? Absolutely. Bad Writing called out? Absolutely.

But nothing more.

They are adults, they are aware their writing and handling of a property will be examined and that's all thats happened.

If I got into a tizz every time a book I'd written for, contributed on or assisted with was dragged over the coals I'd never get anything done....

Nobody likes a Jnr Moderator wannabe, Ignore button is right there for your use....

[Damian May]

Dude, stop. We know for a fact that the book was altered and changed in many places by ' White Wolf' after it was submitted. These alterations stick out like dogs balls both in writing quality and alteration of established lore and canon.

Please, just stop. It's embarrassing....

The Apocalypse book is non-canon as of W5, just like V5 and BJD overwrote the VtM Gehenna scenarios.

Considering W5 will need to go to the same folks who fugged Changing Ways for approval I hope they don't take that last sentence as a challenge. ...

Just a warning, rpgpub is basically the site that therpgsite users evacuated to when Pundit/Tarnowski stepped completely off the deep end and any sane individual realised that being anywhere near him online was toxic. So there's a lot of edgelords and folks like Trippy who have been evicted from most other forums but there's some decent conversation there and some of the folks are alright. As always YMMV.

Apologies. Shutting down....

SI as an international off-the-books conglomerate comprised of dozen of different Alphabet agencies from around the globe in unison with a secret cabal of Church sorcerers and armed with military grade munitions that can obliterate multi-dimensional shielded and warded facilities and eradicate entire city populations of kindred and cover up all evidence perfectly? Yeah, they sound like someones bad home game Uber-GMPCs.

Now that they're being wound back and downgraded successively in each release...perhaps not so much...but as presented in the Core, Anarchs and Cam? Definetely a laugh...

[Damian May]

Well, at least your not denying that thats what you did. As for labeling folks as haters....I think ' disappointed former fans' is probably a better description. And as I've just been made aware 'fanboys' can apparently have negative connotations so I myself should have said ' fans' instead. Apologies.

Fine if you disagree with someones statement, but, please, at least attack the actual things written. I will commend you on not going straight to personal attacks like a certain very vocal V5 fan on FB and reddit....

[Damian May]

I really wish V5 fanboys wouldn't utterly misrepresent what people have said and just straight making shit up.......

[Damian May]

Should probably add me to it, I really don't like V5 either. ...

[Damian May]

Go to your Account settings then down to the bottom then enter the name of the user/s you wish to ignore....

Gangrel. ...

[Damian May]

The Ashfinders are.....so damn hokey...doesn't help that Alchemy is just so fucking weird and feels totally out of left field for something vampires do....but it has since the V5 core so theres no getting around it. I just keep getting Made in Chelsea flashbacks with the Ashfinders that makes them impossible to take seriously.

Some of the IC stuff was very cringe, some was decent to middling, the rest seemed ok.

Fall of London turned up on pirate sites and troves a few days ago.*

*I'm not 100% pristine myself but I usually check them to see if my stuff is on there...which it is generally. Gives me a buzz. ...
