Re: General WoD Discussion #1: Assemble
It's especially stylish in my mind because I immediately imagine a hunter who decides to use the enemy's tools against them only to be a Numina empowered villain for the players to clash with.
Edit: Though a gluttony viced alcoholic serial killer who uses The World is a Banquet in conjunction with Feast in Famine to murder people in bars while he drinks himself into a stupor would also be pretty sweet. Really the book is just full of possibilities.Last edited by Wings of Peace; 2011-10-27 at 06:44 AM.

Re: General WoD Discussion #1: Assemble
I'm currently thinking of doing a Vampire: the Masquerade, All Flesh Must Be Eaten Crossover (basically, having the end of the world happen as a Zombie Apocalypse). With the players taking on the rolls of either mortals or Kindred, both threattened by the Zombie Curse (Kindred can turn as well) and both having to deal with the collapse of society. What are your thoughts on that?

Re: General WoD Discussion #1: Assemble
There is no need to have Kindred being turrned into Zombies just the threat to their food supply would be enough to motivate them to deal with the problem.
Obviously human P.C.s and Kindred are going to have a very dicey relationship with Mortals aware the Kindred could, if hungry enough, kill them at any time and Vampires aware they will be at the mercy of the mortals all through the day.All Comicshorse's posts come with the advisor : This is just my opinion any difficulties arising from implementing my ideas are your own problem

Re: General WoD Discussion #1: Assemble
A vampire zombie story actually makes a lot of sense.
Imagine that rather than the traditional "bite to infect people" model, this is an airborne virus. Humans are being infected just by being in proximity with the zombies, let alone actually fighting them. But the Vampire PCs are fine, since they aren't alive they can't be infected.
But in order not to starve, they need to hunt down the few remaining humans and keep them protected from the zombie hordes. At the same time they need to avoid the sun and avoid being attacked by the hordes themselves. And if a vampire gets infected, by a bite for the classic threat, then every human they feed from becomes a zombie, dangerously impacting their food supply.Avatar by Simius

Re: General WoD Discussion #1: Assemble
Can someone explain to me what the Umbra is? I've read that it is deep space. I've been told that it is several layers of reality. And that's pretty much all I know about it.

Re: General WoD Discussion #1: Assemble
Well, actually, I didn't include the entirety of the text - just the point to which they had done goofed.
Yes. However many points of Vitae you invested into it, you are dealt that many points of lethal damage the next night, and if you decide to forever abandon the oath, it's aggravated instead.

Re: General WoD Discussion #1: Assemble
Right its been a bit since I've played Old Werewolf so this will be a little rough.
The Umbra is an alternate dimension or layer of reality. When Werewolf's 'step sideways' they leave the mundane world and enter into the Umbra.
Initially they will be in the Near Umbra, here they can see the mundane world but now can also see and interact with the spirits that moves among it unseen. However they now can also travel into the Deep Umbra, the further into it you travel the weirder things get. It is the Far Realms where they will start to find the Spirit Realms such as Arcadia or Malfeas (if you really take the wrong turn).All Comicshorse's posts come with the advisor : This is just my opinion any difficulties arising from implementing my ideas are your own problem

Re: General WoD Discussion #1: Assemble
The Pneumbra and Umbra is covered VERY throughly in the mage books. You get you know heavens and hells and Fairy worlds and worlds that are astral versions of parts of mankinds world and parts that are exactly like the phantom tollbooth. I can tell you from experience walking on calculus requires a steady mind.
edit- oh and parts of it look different depending on who is looking at it. each of the planets exist as they do for "modern scientific minds" and in.....other ways.
mars is a blasted lifeless land, and in another realm it is a dying world that has the last remnants of life holding on and is rich in Martion canals and ancient cities, and its Shard realm of Force is the home of Doissetep, The Home of the Hermetics
Venus is a hell world of high pressure and acid rain...and its a primeval wonderland a constantly shifting evolving changing wold of LIFE.
also the earth holds a number of Jules Verne style inner levels and internal suns.
Also Mages have made a number of realities. Sons of Ether have the Gernsback Continium, even the Cult of Ecstasy managed to bang together a small xanadu pleasure domeLast edited by The Reverend; 2011-11-04 at 10:19 PM.

Re: General WoD Discussion #1: Assemble
A potentially silly question just occured to me - in a crossover game of Hunter: the Vigil and another gameline using the rules from both games as opposed to the Dread Powers from Hunter, would Supernatural Advantages apply to resistance rolls against supernatural Endowments? If there's an answer to that somewhere, I can't recall it.

Re: General WoD Discussion #1: Assemble
I think I've seen this somewhere, and I'll try to dig it up, but I believe the answer is yes. Though this can be a bit unbalancing, since it makes Advanced Armory or other "natural" Endowments the best choice.
What I do when in crossovers is make supernatural resistance apply to everything, including Advanced Armory and such. To balance it out, I give Hunters a power stat (Conviction from Mirrors with a bit of modification is great for this), and the power stat applies to Endowment rolls as usual for other power stats.
Also, I got around to looking at the White Wolf release schedule for 2012, and I cannot wait for Victorian Changeling.Awesome Cyborg Doom Monkey avatar by Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins. Offer up your robo-bananas to him.

Re: General WoD Discussion #1: Assemble
Hm. A power stat applying to Endowment rolls could work if Supernatural Advantages were to resist Endowments. It'd be another thing the Hunters would have to spend XP on, though. Of course, not having Mirrors, I don't know how Conviction works - I assume it's different that Conviction from oWoD Hunter.

Re: General WoD Discussion #1: Assemble
I'll soon be running a V:tM game for the first time and I have a question:
How do magic items work in oWoD? Both making one and using one.
I have this story idea that depends on short-term amnesia: The PC's wake up Hangover-style after some serious **** has gone down, and need to retrace their steps to reach the bottom of it. So I need some method for erasing memories from multiple victims at once; Either a magic item, or a new discipline or discipline combo power.
I have an idea for a weird Malkavian bloodline that attempted to willfully forget their own insanity and created a new power in the process, but the magic item thing would be far easier to do."Is this 'cause I killed the hippie? Is that even illegal?"

Re: General WoD Discussion #1: Assemble
Well, depending on what kind of magic item you need for your story you could have stuff that either increases your dice pool for certain certain rolls, something like "+3 shoes of sneaking", or you could have an item grant you one or two uses of some specific power (discipline or whatever). I've only used something like this once or twice in a game. Usually I don't feel the need for including such items.

Re: General WoD Discussion #1: Assemble
I saw 'Men In Black' recently so I had an immediate image of Tommy Lee Jones holding up a certain instrument and telling the P.C.s to 'Look into the Light'.
Now of course in OWoD the Men in Black actually exist as members of the Technocracy and memory alteration is one of their stock-in-trades. How on earth the P.C.s nemesis got hold of one of their items however......
Of course high level Dominate. Say Level 6 or 7 could do entire groups of people at the same time but then the person doing it is very powerfulAll Comicshorse's posts come with the advisor : This is just my opinion any difficulties arising from implementing my ideas are your own problem
