W:tF Actual Play: The Eater of Names

[Seidmadr]

Any characters in particular?

Honestly, any!

[nofather]

Hom Wie would be cool.

To be honest I've been curious about the totems of the Five Great Packs since you posted the wiki, though I'd understand if you hadn't had stats for them available.

[Acrozatarim]

Hmm, does this forum support spoiler tags? I wouldn't want the players to accidentally stumble on the stats of Hom Wie if they looked at this thread

It certainly does

Ugh, as nasty as I thought. And that's without the sorcery. I figured no one had taken him out for a reason, now we see. He truly is a big guy. You did his first appearance very well.

Interesting influences. I guess they're from Chinese Alchemy. I'd hate to see those in action.

And here's session 13, so I'm now caught up

[MonsieurCutts]

Yes! so pleased to see you lovely guys and girls are back doing more AP stuff. Listened to most of your content on the old In Sanity We Trust page and was sad once I'd exhausted everything. Now there's a whole host of Werewolf goodness to get stuck into. Here's to following the Pack's many trials and tribulations.

All Hail Mahu.

[nofather]

I've been busy lately, so I'm just to the point where they're heading to Macau.

Really fun to hear another game.

[Acrozatarim]

Just finished today's session!

Sadly, for some reason the recording just... stopped after an hour, and I didn't notice til the end! I'll need to write up a summary post of stuff that was missed to go with the podcast when I put it up.

[MonsieurCutts]

Is there any chance the Character Sheets for the Pack will be posted up anywhere? I'd be really curious to see them assuming there players consented of course.

I'll ask the rest of the group if they're happy to have their character sheets posted up; if so, sure.

We're trying to figure this out and you're the only authority I know that would really run this.

The Blast Numina.

'The spirit may wound opponents at a distance. Range is equal to 10 yards per dot of Power and the spirit does not suffer range penalties. If the activation roll succeeds, the Blast wounds as a +0L firearm. The spirit may increase the lethality of its Blast by paying Essence — every two Essence spent increases the “weapon” by +1L. The maximum weapon bonus is equal to the spirit’s Rank.'

We're discussing this in another thread and trying to decide if this power allows for the 'Defense vs Firearms' powers some people have. Some say that, because it doesn't say so, there is no way to avoid it beyond not being in range. But we're thinking because of 'the Blast wounds as a +0L firearm.' and how its damage bonus is called weapon bonus, it's treated similarly to a firearm.

Also, if it is indefensible, what rating fetish do you think would be appropriate to use a Numina?
