Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
That reminds me, I never posted my fansplat thingie here.
Months ago there was a discussion on one of the Chronicles of Darkness discords about "How would you handle a time-manipulation/travel fansplat", after months of thinking on the subject I eventually decided to start writing down the idea to get my fansplat pitch into a playtest-ready state. Oracle the Endbringers is the result.
In Oracle you play a person who was cursed with visions of a coming apocalypse by a god, but blessed with the power to fight against the inevitable. From then onwards you are a person partially outside of time, doomed to a time loop until you either succeed in your divine mission or the apocalypse becomes so impossible to stop that your timeline is sealed away. Together you will work with similarly blessed souls to form a pantheon, hoping to use your control over time and the gifts of your god to wage war against destiny itself.Spoiler: Old Avatar by Aruiushttp://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q56/Zeritho/Koboldbard.png

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
Playing a human in a WoD 20th anniversary ed.
I'm new to this game.
We are playing in a variant of Dark Ages.
Hope this is the right thread for this.
I have seen somewhere that with 5 successes in Craft you can make a mastercraft item. Where did I read that? Wrong version of the game maybe???
If you make a mastercraft weapon, does it have any mechanical benefits? Is it easier to use, do more damage or just harder to break?

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
Only 20th anniversary edition with a Dark Ages version is Vampire, and there's no rules for such things there.
Most of my posts are made on my mobile device. Please excuse any errors from auto correct.

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
OK, no rules for the effect.
I found the passage of text stating that with 5 successes in Craft you can make a mastercraft item. It is under Creation[variable] on page 336 of Dark Ages Vampire the Anniversary ed. But I expect such an item may only be of great beauty or value, it may not actually be any better that a similar item created with only 3 successes.
If the created item is a weapon it would likely be the envy of most who would see it.

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
Fun Promethean 2e fact:
As a consequence of the rules for gaining Transmutations, and the way the Stannum Refinement works, every single Promethean holds within them the capacity to just say "**** it" and start throwing lightning bolts around at the drop of a hat.

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
Maybe I should finally get Promethean 2E. I wonder if it helps with the first edition's unfortunate trait of "really cool, but how do you play it?".

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
I know I've been saying it for years now, but I really hope the Hunter 2E Kickstarter is here soon. Once the oWoD Vampire one is done, maybe. It's the last nWoD game to be updated to CofD.

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
A lot of it was the Matt McFarland debacle, I think; once they found out what he'd done they had to purge and rewrite a lot.

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
I'm guessing plagiarism was a thing that happened in Hunter 2E's writing period?
Probably a lot?
I'm looking forward to Deviant, personally. I'm just hoping it won't have a major lore-change in the middle of development that completely changes the tone of the game to almost the opposite of the game we were told we were getting.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
At this point I'm going to be disappointed if a theoretical Hunter 3e book gets developed without any plagiarism.

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
Dark Eras 2 is out to backers and I am enjoying it. Oracles & Crocodile Shifters are neat, as is rules for Prometheans & Mages in the hedge.
No, the rewrites are because the company cut ties with Matt McFarland (which I approve of), and whenever OP does that they end up completely removing and rewriting any of their content in the upcoming book so that they don't need to pay the person they are cutting off. Did the same thing with Olivia Hill with Changeling and with, Morke & Holden's Exalted 3e: Arms of the Chosen.Last edited by Milo v3; 2020-01-16 at 08:21 AM.

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
Considering that all the previews we got were before McFarland's outing and resulting rewrites, Hunter 2E is a bit of an enigma right now. I'm trying to temper my expectations so I don't end up disappointed if it goes in a different direction than I'd envision it.

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
So, all I know about the Holden situation was that it was officially becuase of delays in Exalted(which I don't think got better with him gone) and unofficially becuase he demanded that OPP pay him the difference after they cleated him out of fair pay for his work.
What did McFarland do?I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Sexual harrassment, abuse, and sexual assault. Was quiet at the time, but then at the beginning of last year became public. McFarland acknowledged the truth in the accusations in a since-deleted Medium post.

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
I think it helps Hunter 2e that the person being removed isn't the developer of the line, unlike with Changeling. So the overall vision of the game is probably consistent from pre-removal to post-removal.

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
Well I picked up Changeling: the Lost 2e when I stumbled across it in a FLGS, because I had no clue that CofD was doing print runs, and I'm really liking what I'm seeing. Especially the Seeming/Kith split, the last I'd heard was that Seemings were how you escaped Arcadia, but now they seem to be your archetype in your Keeper's story, while your Kith is your duties in Arcadia. It just seems to work.
Fully thoughts aved until I've finished reading it.

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
Changeling 2E seems to have been dramatically rewritten between the Kickstarter manuscript and the released version. It threw me off a bit too. But I certainly like the final result. Changeling really benefits from CofD as a whole stepping away from the need for every power to come in five dots.
Meanwhile, the Hunter Kickstarter has been going on while the forums were down, and so far I like what I'm seeing. But I'm eager to see the character creation and rules section. I want hunters to have a robust set of mechanics that apply regardless of compact or conspiracy. The organizations and their Endowments have been polished, but not radically changed.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
Oh, it seems to have gotten a Beast, but a well done one where the key themes aren't changed to make the characters even more abusive. And yeah, changing from each Contract having five Clauses to just having a bunch of weaker and stronger Contracts within a theme really helps.

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
Hello again. I'm still clinging to the first edition of Chronicles of Darkness game (I'm moving on! I used the proper name for the game system. Mostly because I would otherwise make a comment about using NWoD for first edition and CoD for the second edition. Which I have now done.). Well. Had two ideas related to Mage the Awakening.
First. Have it so that the term Exarchs is used for two related but different things. Specifically the term refers to two things similar to the Watchtowers and the Oracles. There are the "Thrones" which are the grand ideas in the Supernal realm. And then their are the Exarchs who are ascended Mages who have a complicated relationship with the "Thrones" where they sort of rule them, sort of serve them, sort of are them. So things like Ochemata are manifestations of Exarchs but not the Thrones. Also the random "Atlantean" ruins are remnants of timelines that Exarchs came from and are part of how they maintain control of the world, not by any particular function but just by the act of existing they help link the Supernal to the Fallen. And not all Exarchs come from the same timeline so while some have a variety of ancient ruins other Exarchs are connected in more unusual ways that I have not taken the time to imagine.
The other idea was a mage character. He would probably be a veteran because it is the simplest backstory to write for the idea. Basically he and a close friend were injured and hospitalized. Character made it, friend did not. The experience led to him awakening as a Thyrsus. The Scottish song about the low road and the high road home played a major role in the awakening. He is haunted by the ghost of his friend and has some fascination with death. If I was writing it the central mystery would include the fact that his friend awakened as he was dying causing stuff to happen. Moros might be a better fit, I originally suggested Thyrsus because I was originally thinking about a homebrewed set of Watchtowers I like which has a Life Death path.DEGENERATION 86: Copy this into your sig and subtract 1 from the degeneration when you first see it. This is an antisocial experiment.

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
Courts are groups of changelings who made a pact with a patron. Entitlements will be in Oak, Ash, and Thorn, but they're going to be different.

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
So if my Autumn Court prankster wanted to be a Scarecrow Minister, I'd have to either force a pact that granted the duties if "scare mortals away from X places" with priveledges to match or else inherit/steal it from someone else who did.
And then I'd be the Scarecrow Minister.

It's been a very long time since I looked at the changeling 2e book, did the entirely nix the thing where you could invoke story tropes? Talecrafting, talespinning, fatespinning, something like that?

Re: General WoD Discussion #5: Chronicles of Duty: Modern Darkness
So idle speculation but : how are Vampires, particularly the Sabbat, feeding during the current lockdown ?
All Comicshorse's posts come with the advisor : This is just my opinion any difficulties arising from implementing my ideas are your own problem
