So the Electric Shadow Kith I am making for the Yokai project are a cluster of kiths. Basically they are Changelings that were Unnamed and eventually were reborn merging with Chimera of the Cinema. Making Subkiths like Cowboy, Samurai, Beauty, Buffoon, Martial Artist, Swashbuckler, ect. They number in the handful, some maybe even the only member of the subkith. Till the Evanescence and their numbers bolster by a few dozen.

Then there was also the older Idea I had of Witches as a Kith with birthrights of maybe using sympathetic links to use arts on subjects, and or a Familiar....

So is this setting going to have some future fun? Its 2039 and they what broke cold fusion decades ago? Are Sidhe going to appear while Mars is being explored?

[Eldagusto]

Ambient feeding is something high level Valern can do.

What I would do would be make it that the wan kuei are derived from different 2nd gen, either Caine and Lilith created them before Caine ran away, or they are just Lillin, and they just naturally don’t clan up, maybe don’t have the curse of açaí e to weaken blood.

Or have them be children of the Crone.

But the problem with them being just kindred is what about the Wan Xian? It would say work if the Wan Xian were nephelim children of Lilith and their falling was being embraced. But then we ignore...

Some people have had the idea that Eshu might be like the Laibon in that the Kithain viewed it as one Kith but they are a group of kiths. I'm hopeful we will get some African Kiths, though not sure if they will be in that Empire of the Sphinx. We should also get Maori Gallain, and Australian Gallain, and either Expand the Nunnehi with Central and South American Kiths, since they are supposed to represent North and South America or they will just introduce a South American Gallain group.

Another group of Kiths I will add to the Yokai are the Electric Shadows. One Kith with multiple...

Ahoy! Glad to finally find someone else who is reading it! I started an Analects thread to discuss this type of stuff if you want to chek this out.

I find it to be more in setting and fits better then a lot of canon. :P

But,
1. Ashur is a mystery Kindred but generally people considered him to be Cappadocius, and sometimes Saulot. Analects plays a lot with assumptions though and mixes up the ideas of if Brujah, Saulot and Cappy were the the same fella. They also really try to throw curve balls so who knows. Later books point out Ashur was the sacred city of...

[Eldagusto]

How much will they discuss Novas in different eras, and how viable will Nova Cross overs be?

What one comic book best represents his vision of Aberrant?...

[Eldagusto]

Wait no more Vitae? I'm not sure I like that... in fact I know I don't. The only V5 rules I saw was that Two part Critical Role One Shot and I found the compulsions distracting...

[Eldagusto]

Wow I didn't expect them to release an Anarch and Cammy book with it nice! Are they going to start actually putting the books in print in stores and amazon again? Not gonna lie that would be pretty Wizard!

[Eldagusto]

Yeah that's the way I would go. I take it that a lot of Vassy's write-up was exaggeration. She was just a Methuselah older then some Antes, with a large discipline spread/combo repertoire. And I either have Baba Yaga still alive or killed by Lupines/ Camarilla super hitsquad led by Karsh attacking after she was distracted with the lupine war. It would be pretty cool to introduce Karsh with a new scar, or even a missing limb and point out that was a souvenir from the Little Grandmother....

[Eldagusto]

I believe they have it turn lethal damage into bashing damage....

[Eldagusto]

So in this one all the Houses of the Sidhe returned at the same time?...

[Eldagusto]

The Baku I guess I over emphasized them being Dream Eaters rather then Dream and Nightmare Eaters. Hmm maybe they would work best as Dark Kin/Adhene?


Well instead of Daikaiju being a Kith I would make them a class of Chimera. And some Kithain can emulate them, such as Ryu and Beasties (Both of which I have using the Dragon King Chimerical form rules).

Man I want to now start a game set in Hawaii that crosses over the Kithain, Menehune and Yokai in a homebrew city. :P


One thing I don't recall the Books doing is touching upon Nunnehi marrying...

[Eldagusto]

Still reading the 20th thoroughly but treasures now have the effect of enchanting mortals that touch them automatically so that is cool!

Also confusing when they explain the Heart of the Dreaming title, it sounds like it describes chimerical items but later they call Caliburn, Caliburn Heart of the Dreaming, so then it would be all Treasure? Or just potent ones?

[Eldagusto]

Oh that sounds like an interesting series, I’ll check it out!

It really seems Yokai we’re made for changeling and the fact that they are just a sub portion of a regional varient of Gallain shan’t do them justice! I’m liking the fact that due to their regional nature combined with spreading them out through a number of kiths they will be very diverse groups!

A generous backer is letting me piggy back on a pledge and pay when the funds come in. Sometimes this community can shine.



It felt unsavory I came in because my cat got sick thanksgiving weekend and didn’t go to the bathroom for a week. They told me to wait for a day and they would call me with test results, they didn’t call the next day so I went in the day after. They noticed blockage in the bowels and bladder and since I checked the box saying my pet is my family they took the cat in to do stomach surgery biopsy. They got Chopper, my tiny cat, to urinate...

Uhhh I had money set aside for the Dragonblooded kickstarter for like a year... and when it comes out I can't back it more then the minimum to read the manuscript. I had to pay for an emergency root canal without insurance, and have been paying off a 2k+ vet bill from December (which turned out unnecessary but the vet was squeezing 2k worth of fruitless surgery and treatment because he knew I was worried, and it turns out they just needed to treat my cat for a urinary tract infection), and now ugghh I won't have the money till two days after the kickstarter ends. Seriously I feel the Kickstarters...

[Eldagusto]

Also all the Sidhe are arriving at once. So does that mean the Sidhe that say periodically return with temporary openings of Arcadia, and the 2nd wave Sidhe at the edge of the Millenium either never happened or that they were lumped into the time oubliette? Or did they happen, and they arrived before the first host?

[Eldagusto]

Ooh I love the Jongleurs, just read them! Potent but there weakness is also crippling.

What do you think about their Thallain? I'm thinking along the Lines of a Scaramouche Kith.

I'm also interested in there origin. That is something one can play around with for new, or "limited edition" Kiths. The idea that a changeling could be Unnamed or mutated and merged with a Chimera/Spirit. It has a lot of potential.

[Eldagusto]

Hmm I was considering the Tengu and pondering whether I should make two or one type. I was wondering a type of Birthright for them, like maybe a martial arts or teaching birthright? With legendary masters of Dragon's Ire.

But I'm a fan of just lots of kiths for the Youkai rather then one kith representing multiple things.


I was also trying figure the Angle for the Baku. Maybe they are like harbingers of Nightmare, so Thallain or even Fomor type beings. And trying to think of maybe a Naraku Inanimae for the Hellfire of the Atom Bomb and corrupt leylines....

[Eldagusto]

Okay so I was pondering changeling on my 6 mile walk home from work I just got back from, also caught me some pokemanz, and I had some ideas on the nature of Youkai and cross Kithain/Gallain Kiths.

So some like the idea of ignoring the Hsien or treating them more like Kithain. But I rather like how the Hsien were handled, and they work in the Middle Kingdom, even more then Changelings do. So I was thinking why not have the best of both worlds?

So I think I want to compose a fan PDF probably when I move in august but I am filled with a lot of the ideas now. So how...
