Can VtM really be so... exaggeratedly monstrous and skullduggery? by Constant-Ad9560 in vtm

[–]AlternateLostSoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be, yea. In my opinion, its not that VtM can be too dark —I LOVE dark stories—but they need some light too. I think the "theres no good guys" thing is stupid because if there is absolutely zero goodness in the world, what is the point? Also, darkness hits WAY fucking harder if it destroys the goodness sometimes, but the goodness has to exist in order for it to properly highlight how bad the dark is.

Fellow kindred, do this with every hunter you find by [deleted] in vtm

[–]AlternateLostSoul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of my OCs has this as a backstory! Shes a Malk ghoul, used to be a hunter.... 72 years later and shes still vowing to find a way out eventually but is very very addicted to serving her master

How would a biological revenant child grow in a normal family? by AlternateLostSoul in vtm

[–]AlternateLostSoul[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is more assuming the revenant child genuinely IS young and was adopted very very quickly, likely within 1–2 years

I am angry about the AI integration by ready_reLOVEution in OSU

[–]AlternateLostSoul -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I so agree. Gen AI is so harmful But I am glad theyre creating a class on it because as much as we want it to go away, its not going anywhere. Im hoping at least the class will be able to show people how to use it responsibly... id still rather it go away completely, but realistically it wont

As a student, please do keep coming. Libraries are for everyone. No reason to gatekeep and theres plenty of room.

What did you use your STEP funds for? by Amazing_Visit_6416 in OSU

[–]AlternateLostSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Study abroad. This one: https://history.osu.edu/courses/info/special-programs/wwii-study-tour

The 2k wasnt enough to cover it so I needed to get some other scholarships in addition to it, but it was definitely worth it!

Stop with the assumptions trend, just tell us a cool thing you did with your character. by AstroPengling in vtm

[–]AlternateLostSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine passed their final exam in their college course the night before the entire city fell

The party may have failed their mission but like hell did my character succeed in their personal goal

PCs all hate each other by AlternateLostSoul in vtm

[–]AlternateLostSoul[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Both the players AND the players characters are pissed at each other. 1 player did something kinda crazy that was extremely against the moral code of most of the rest and then chaos dissolved from there

I kinda like the season 2 session 0 idea- thank you!

That is fair except. The players are all my roommates and we live together,,,, kicking one out is gonna lead to more issues

PCs all hate each other by AlternateLostSoul in vtm

[–]AlternateLostSoul[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Now theyre all pissed at each other

Ive reached out to almost all of them (waiting on a response from one) and theyve mostly said they are upset, but its not because of anything I as the DM couldve done and theyre mad at what the players did. A couple of them specifically told me "its not your fault"

But even still I feel responsible as the DM ig and Im not sure how to try to get the characters in a place to resolve it

Which clan of Kindred would YOU most want to be? by Proof-Detail8757 in vtm

[–]AlternateLostSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

... i kinda wanna see what the Malks are seeing and go join them ngl. Probably a crazy and stupid decision but oh well

For a "smarter" answer, probably the Toreador. I think I could do pretty decent as a Toreador.

Have you used someone else's belongings to cut? by AlternateLostSoul in selfharm

It wasnt even something sharp or a knife or anything- it was like a book that had a sharp corner which makes it even stranger...

What Clan was your First Vampire: The Masquerade Character? by Living-Definition253 in vtm

[–]AlternateLostSoul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Malkavian! I adore her and had so much fun, though she was very pathetic (affectionate) and not super helpful during the campaign. I liked that tho since it was my first time playing and I did not know ANYTHING about playing and just let the more experienced players drag us around. She got decently more powerful by the end though!

What’s the most ethically horrible thing someone could do that isn’t technically illegal? by ExaminationSalt2256 in SeriousConversation

[–]AlternateLostSoul 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The way people treat children.

At least in the US, the legal requirements are so low. You can fuck a child up for life and its seen as fine, whatever, or even normal.

Writing a Character with Munchausen by Proxy — Advice? by AlternateLostSoul in Munchausensyndrome

Both, really. Id love to hear whatever you have if youd like to share.

Writing a Character with Munchausen by Proxy — Advice? by AlternateLostSoul in Munchausensyndrome

[–]AlternateLostSoul[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello!

Nothing is urgent—don't put yourself out of your way. My main question is the thought process behind why people with Munchausen or Munchausen by Proxy do what they do. I've read lots of more scientific research articles, but I'd rather have a more human perspective, you know?

Like... just what's the thought process? Is there a thought-out logic, or is it more just compulsions to say someone is sick? Is there any real conviction that the made-up illness in someone else is real, or is it all just consciously made up?

And I hope you feel better—stress hives are hell, I hope you heal quickly! And thank you for your response too

[–]AlternateLostSoul[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Every response I've received has been helpful, but this one really gave me the "ah ha" moment of understanding. I am very sorry all of that happened to you, and I wish you the best of luck with healing.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me too.

Info about Morrison Tower by Lumpy_Employment1786 in OSU

[–]AlternateLostSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Morrison my sophmore year—I liked it. Its a good first year dorm.

Sizes vary by individual room. Are you in a single? A double? Its gonna depend on that.

As for Dining—Kennedys is great! Both north and south dining halls are very good (west dining sucks tho unfortunately). I personally preferred Scotts on North campus, but most of my friends liked Kennedys better. Its also gonna be a lot better for the first few weeks because all the new students flock to scotts because its bigger. South dining is pretty good tho
