[Muad'Dib]

Sometimes while reading World of Darkness books and supplements (and also while playing card games or computer games, of course) I get the impression that the focus and details are given in regard to what a particular group or specific character receive initially and reliably.

The focus could as well be on elements, factors, and circumstances in regard to benefits, gains, and achievements that the characters - and also their allies and friends - have to fight for and definitely earn as they make choices and decisions....

[Muad'Dib]

One way to describe the kind of effort and purpose that is required in order to turn a human into a Ghoul - this deed has to occur with specific, particular desire and intent. The Vampire is distinctly and definitely aware of what she ( or he ) is doing.

The decision and action of creating a Ghoul is clearly not simillar to learning and develping some sections and parts of Blood Magic, for example. In regard to that, there is this definite chance and possibility that random ruminations, experimenting, and spontanous actions and choices will lead to achievements and results.

[Muad'Dib]

I agree with this, this does definitely seem to be an interesting and also reasonable approach....

[Muad'Dib]

This scenario seem to assume both major isolation, and also very difficult requirements in regard to Mark having to abandon, or redefine, or change his routine. Is there any reason why Mark cannot be introduced to other Ghouls, or maybe Vampires, who need decent help and support ? He should be able to adjust and achieve successes even if he will have some initial difficulties.

[Muad'Dib]

This is great and good work as usually, thank you for this....

[Muad'Dib]

I think that for Werewolf RPG it would be definitely be interesting if some of the Tribal Camps (Including the radical groups, as well as the more traditional or representative organisations) were described with more attention, consideration, respect, and detail.
At least two or three books or supplements could be written - for a good start - in regard to this area of the Werewolf RPG....

[Muad'Dib]

It seems to me like a cool, nice, good, and interesting option and capability for a Mage (including for a Nephandus or a Technocrat, or a Solificati Alchemist, or a Verbenae Witch) to be able to actively cast and channel Magick Effects while asleep or resting.

This definitely feels like it is in like with how Mage:the Ascension has been written, illustrated, designed, and developed since the first books and supplements of the 1st edition of this good, interesting, intricate, and wonderous role-playing game....

[Muad'Dib]

Even within the accounts or the rumours that there are not that many Salubri Vampires, you can also count their Childe, and possibly also Salubri Ghouls. Also they should have some friends, lovers, supporters, and so on.
The Salubri Vampires which are considered to be Salubri Antitribu are cleary describes as a group (or a small organisation) that is separate and also distinctly involved with the Sabbat.

I agree that in regard to these and similar descriptions and paragraphs, it is up to the Storyteller and each Player to consider to what extent (objectively and subjectively,...

[Muad'Dib]

I would like to note that more than just a few Salubri could have very well survived to the modern era - or to the Modern Nights.

And certainly it is also possible that some of them have at least retained considerable amount of for example influence and resources, and also developed their qualities and skills....

[Muad'Dib]

A Mage from one of the Nine Mystical Traditions ( For example Choristers, Hermetics, or Virtual Adepts ) or a Technocrat ( From the Syndicate or the Progenitors, to name at least two Conventions of the Technocracy ) could very well help another Mage that does not have same or comparable Paradigm and attitude. With enough good work and honest optimism results could be achieved. It has to be noted that raising Sphere level is not neccesirely the only desired and positive outcome. In regard to this there is certainly the possibility of additional personal ambitions, goals, and objectives....

[Muad'Dib]

If I may ask, did you give at least some consideration for Vampires on Paths of Enlightenment and Roads ( Road of Sin, Road of Kings, Road of Humanity, Road of Heaven ) in regard to these thoughts and ideas ?...

[Muad'Dib]

Are there any other WoD books, guides, or supplements that were likewise released distinctly just before the original World of Darkness being brought back with the 20th Anniversary Editions ?...

[Muad'Dib]

As far as I know many Vampires manage to normally and extensively hunt for blood to sustain , whether it is night shift office buildings, libraries, churches (and other religious buildings or temples), households, and various different alleys and streets. Seeking blood through the usual choices and means seems distinctly better the currently outlined alternatives - like storing blood through various means or drinking indirectly from a person who would be bleeding.

Also there is relatively little that says or implies that a Vampiress drinking blood from a mortal (or from a supernatural...

[Muad'Dib]

Well, is it not that a person - and a group or an organization - has to learn (and teach others, as well) and gather knowledge and information constantly and on an ongoing basis to keep up and stay current?...

[Muad'Dib]

There might very well be some Tremere Vampires who would be positive about and would decide to be friends with or cooperate with a Salubri Vampire. It often so that Vampires make all kinds of different choices and decisions, especially when qualities and circumstances align and change....

[Muad'Dib]

This sounds very good, intricate, nice, and interesting. Minor Spheres of elements and forces like frost or light would be a nice addition. As would Minor Spheres created around concepts like conflict, betrayal, or prosperity....

[Muad'Dib]

Another possibility is going to a bookstore or a library and looking through or acquiring various tomes, books, and collections that can contain maps, outlines, graphs, photographs, and drawings of terrain and landmarks.

It helps to have a good description and some nice and intricate data, and also of course cultural context. And also as well discussion and analysis of anthropological, historical, mythological, religous themes and qualities....

[Muad'Dib]

You can still create a straightforward or simple sketch instead of a more detailed map. Also you can definitely use colors, or a different drawing implement like for example crayons.

A map, an outline, or a sketch for a relatively small or minor location or an area could be just as useful, interesting, helpful, and inspiring as a more complete map or drawing created in regard to a city or a region....

[Muad'Dib]

Some level 6 and higher Discipline Powers are very useful,, interesting, and inspiring. For example many Presence Powers, several Celerity Abilities, and definitely some Blood Magic Rituals. It might be a challange to use them while achieving an assured considerable result and clearly changing a given situation, but this challange or issue is often mentioned or implied in descriptions....

[Muad'Dib]

There might as well be many Syndicate Technocrats - possibly from Asian, African, and South American countries, in particular - who argue for arrangements and types of economies and trade which are not capitalist. Also there might be Technocrats from other Conventions that support this kind of viewpoints and methods....
