Might want to tell the Immaculates that....

[Eldagusto]

I recommend limiting the crossover to two or three groups, and try not to have Vampires because of the sleeping during the day issue. And it helps if they have familial connections like the group knows each other from Childhood, some are related and some are married to the other's family.

That being said Mage and Changelings have the potential to fit with most groups. And with Werewolves and Vampires and Technocrats they don't smile on your group if you bring in the Gentiles.

[Eldagusto]

Yeah I was mentioning that. But the thing is if you employ another Vampire they kind of have rights, if you find a psychic kine you can full on use them as a tool, and you don't even need to know the powers they themselves develop. And what if you have a group of psychics that can do sychronized clairvoyance or some such. Get your Soviet Psychic experiments on!...

[Eldagusto]

I like the idea Dreams exist as a plane of existence that can be reached. And its tied to worlds of memory and hidden Yozis/Primordial.

And several 3rd Circle Souls I imagine are worlds or planes of Existence. I had a soul of the Ebon Dragon known as the White Zone that existed as a two dimensional plane others could travel to.

So we've discussed Vampires and Sorcerers, now how about Vampires and Psychics? I know why we don't use them much in the setting because they are a supplement character type, and vampire doesn't want to dilute their spotlight and theme. But lets say Psychics were in the corebook so that we never had to worry about mentioning them and people not having the book explaining their rules. Say Psychics are just a standard World of Darkness constant and are in all the gamelines.

How would you change the setting to take into account psychics are rare but do exist. I can see things like...

So the books really downplay the horror of the Sidhe basically they came back to the world from beyond, stole mortal Bodies and banished their souls to Arcadia. And then they warred and conquered the Fae who remained on Earth.

Some have even theorized they intended to have the Sidhe as the badguys of the series in the older drafts. So what if we just make that change to the setting? What if we portray the other changelings in a similar situation to other supernaturals, in that they are warring against a rival faction, this case the Sidhe. So the setting would be the Sidhe Commoner...

This is a nonV5 thread... so V20/Revised...

And enough time to effect the plot is arbitrary you could say they were in development for decades or even centuries in this scenario. Or they are starting from ground up. But no reason the game couldn't advance forward decades or Centuries more.

And the Tremere have already been trying to reverse Engineer their own Revenant line from those whats their names Duchevi?...

[Eldagusto]

It could be pretty cool to have Dragons have their own cults, I like that. Cults for everyone.

[Eldagusto]

Is it possible we could get a Changeling Atlas of the World just concentrating on the different locals. Or maybe more concentrated books focusing on just one Continent like Africa or Australia?

[Eldagusto]

If I use them then I don't have the Movies exist in the setting. But yeah I'm all for adding them, the Xenomorphs could be a Deep Umbra Infestation, and Predators could be a pretty cool Alien from actual space or the Deep Umbra.

I have before translated the Zerg as an Umbrood Invasion, and the Protoss as wanderers who hunt them.

But all these things are potent enough to fight Werewolves so I see them as very fitting.

[Eldagusto]

Look at you Flex.

This is a preV5 scenario.
So a common forum game is to reshuffle which clans go to which sects. The catch for this one is lets say Gehenna happened and the Camarilla was swept up and eaten/destroyed, the independent clans were scourged to the size of bloodlines But the Sabbat and the Talmaherah faired the best.

So maybe vampires saw not just the Antediluvian 3rd gen show up but say Lilith and Caine as well. But vampire numbers are at an all time low, which isn't really a bad thing now the world seems ripe for the picking. But lets say the Sabbat Fragments due to what they...

[Eldagusto]

So do you think the Dagda and the Morrigan invented the gods they took the names of or do you think like Mithras they imitated already existent gods?...

[Eldagusto]

I’m expecting ghoulish side effects from the unwholesome denial of the sunlight, but we have Chatterlings already so we know similar things already exist for millennia. Like chstterlings they could regularly be replenished by orphans and kidnapped mortals.

But cave fish are blind because they evolved inbred in caves for millions of years. A human population won’t go blind just because they live underground in a mere couple generations that is silly, and light still exists so they won’t be incentivized to go completely blind, perhaps just bad vision over all, or even enhanced...

[Eldagusto]

To clarify I am saying these beings aren’t Raksha, they are just from the Wyld. They need the shaped resources from Creation, probably for some reason like their home is loosing cohesion and they need definition from a shaped world.

So again these aren’t Raksha. Just like the Scorpion Empire is not an Empire of Raksha.

[Eldagusto]

I would say yeah when you have another supernatural type, like you have Fera learn Sorcery then they may treat Sorcery as just another bag of limited tricks. But then you can have some who view Sorcery as a resource in and of itself, because you can teach Sorcery to your Kinfolk for instance, or you are just trying to collect all the knowledge you can to be disseminated later, they can be delved deeply enough to be a sorcerer.

But then capacity also can be taken into account. Maybe someone is too young to have more then a few dots in Sorcerous paths, or they are old but it took...

[Eldagusto]

That sounds reasonable.

[Eldagusto]

Everything is just a trade though even normal Raksha trading.

Why I'm calling it reverse Raksha trading is because they are selling their own people for the wonders of Creation....

[Eldagusto]

Has the reception of the Players Guide given them confidence to create more Products?

Will we ever get more solid Rules on the Inanimae, because as of now they are unplayable and kinda useable as NPCs.

Is it a pipe dream to hope we get more Hsien Love? I love what they did with them with just the little space!

Over all what was their favorite Kith Added in the Book?

[Eldagusto]

I never read the Pulse from the Mages perspective, only familiar with it from Werewolf Perspective, pretty neat they included it, I like easter eggy wholeness like that of the setting.

Yeah Flux is a unique place, its like being in the Wyld of Exalted's age, the rules are unique there, and Even Fetishes are freed from their oaths of binding.
