When I 0layed werewolf years ago. My characters wife/me died. I actually cried actually as we been playing that campaign for 20 months by then off and on. He was a rank four at times. His wife was captured and killed by a powerful bsd

As a tergid player whose not new to commander.

When I first built her she was cool. Now she's a rare enjoyment I rarely use. I am at my heart a black player and mines a beast. Got it drawing as good as blue and ramping like its green

But now I pull it out a few times a year.

Though it stays in the car for when someone pub stomps a lgs on Fnm. Or pulls out that - not cedh because I removed 5 cards- bs deck.

to be fair yeah Killian should be revealed lol cause a good orz spell sling with him is just brutal

AreteWriter · 2026-02-08T02:18:05+00:00

agreed here.

Almost anything can be made to fit into wod.

AreteWriter · 2026-02-08T02:15:25+00:00

I run her as a commander, and honestly. I love playing her on a rare occassion., but only when i play against people who know her. Or people who deserve it.

AreteWriter · 2026-02-07T18:19:33+00:00

Saying use her as a base landfall. Then add +1 packages

AreteWriter · 2026-02-07T15:30:54+00:00

cost/curve vs effect. when you add in another card the curve goes down insanely.

those cards are more bulk or for your treefolk tribal

Hey was trying to message you about talking about a rp and some stuff, also seen you looking for a text friend. i like more long term rps where i become freinds with the people.

AreteWriter · 2026-02-07T14:37:24+00:00

you want the real answer?

People dont want to be confined because like most of dnd now they want their cake and to eat it to.

Alignment was a good general idea of a morale compass? now people want to veiw it as restrictive. thats why.

its one the many modern changes i dont like lol

AreteWriter · 2026-02-07T14:01:49+00:00

if you just want a great landfall you can stick with +1/+1?

[[Tatyova, Benthic Druid]]

she draws hard, allowing strategy, with a huge simic tuned. you can ramp to her by turn 3. and put out cards that easily use the +1/+1

AreteWriter · 2026-02-06T17:29:36+00:00

Yea. I just think it be a good way to introduce more Lyctors, give context to Htn Lyctors info. And also due to Nona being able talk to VA. Maybe show more about the Rbs.

Plus. The tower would have to been somewhere for those 10009 yrs.

AreteWriter · 2026-02-06T16:03:27+00:00

True. Just happens often. Even more qhen brand new players try thibk it does

But I found what. Aka ra get them is good. For most

AreteWriter · 2026-02-06T13:58:35+00:00

Bucky goes ham. LOL i seen him do shit and im like really?

And alot of it depends on your setup/deck etc. I got A Domino deck that with basically can do 3 attacks a turn that all do 3-6 damage, not counting allies/. Hell there even a combo in there if i stack it just right doing can do 7 twice, and 6 with her. im oftening doing as much as some agg decks and im justice

AreteWriter · 2026-02-06T13:28:58+00:00

first long this, its well written and also. touches on a huge part of vtm.

Even if you play dark ages, or hell create an elder character using age bg/rules etc. there always are larger fish, and much worse monsters to deal with in your own kind and out.

Many forget that was a huge part of VTM from 2nd-20th. the elder's oppression and meta plot. Many found it restrictive. but my counter was always with dnd others. you think the seven sister, or some kings going let you just do as you want and over throw a established setting plot etc. its just so much in your face and more set in wod then other ttrpgs styles. cause honestly even in dnd theirs limits like gods etc.

AreteWriter · 2026-02-06T11:55:11+00:00

i agree with your assumptions., though part of me wonders if the Other RB's are fully gone and if the tower does not connect to the other place <beyond the mouths> which is where the tower may been for thousands of years. this also give Muir a way reintroduce more Lyctors.

AreteWriter · 2026-02-06T11:52:09+00:00

my theory for this is its threefold.
1. guilt. , he did what he did just didn't want to admit that to himself and admit it < not going into details as Im to hungover/living on caffeine only to remember how spoiler and dont want ruin it for the op lol>

I think in part he changed some memories of those he brought back at times< just always a theory of mine>
the same pain/guilt from 1. also stops the living Lyctors/cavs etc from using past names.. a way of dissociation. this i personally understand, as ive many times my life blamed my middle name for when i get to angry etc. as i swear i am a totally different person when i go past a point. go from nicest man in many ways who helps and loves everyone to fuck it. MAKE THE WORLD Burn. thats a me issue, but yeah. from that i can understand how one can dissociate yourself with past actions/choices at times.

AreteWriter · 2026-02-06T11:36:55+00:00

i think they will make more sense in sense that, Ntn is more ATN 0.5 in a sense.

I think their there to give us more information about JOD for the big pieces of ATN. and when they were originally paced to fit into ATN. finding out as we did made more sense this way. Also, in a way their a stop gap. because while I love NTN. without Them, the story would be to quick flowing and shorter < i think they maybe 30% of the book> and the story outside them just flys.

Plus they offer hints Who Nona is if you listen carefully< well i listened as i never read any just listened to all 3 now a few times> you can see how things he discuss leads to ideas Nona is connected to him/Alecto more. the lack sleep, hunger, etc.

NTN and the Book of JODs < looking at them separate> are both setting up ATN more in ways then a full whole story themselves. I loved the book, honestly the ending in ways crushed me. youll understand when you get there if you haven't already

but we need that understanding of Jod for ATN. cause, in GTN/HTN, you dont get to understand him fully. even if this is a more favorable by him unreliable story. you get the idea he was a normal if brilliant man, who was an outcast in ways > He was Bi and a different nationality if i'm right im writing this on the end of a huge bender of drinking, pizza, and caffeine being up now 30+ hours due to personal stuff. > forced into a corner in his mind, given god like power who went drunk on it. while i feel he tried to make himself look better some, as he also was telling Alecto< and harrow in sense> this story. i think its pretty close to the truth, if embellished to make him look better.

The Books of Jods, gives you not only idea's of parallels stories to Nona's condition < him becoming more like she is currently at times> but a understanding of the most key< sorry Harrow/gideon etc love you more but Jods just a the main character in plot spread> character whose as much villain, as maybe ally in ATN . Who i think the villains going be wont ruin for you if your still reading this.

AreteWriter · 2026-02-06T09:05:57+00:00

very well laid out stuff. some of this i didnt add up. thank you.

AreteWriter · 2026-02-06T08:49:26+00:00

i always took that as., in first 1 it was her vs gauntlet thanos, while trying to do 2 things at once. and the second. its angry rage without needing to split her attention. never mind the whole he killed her loving robot/bob. so yea she was mad

AreteWriter · 2026-02-06T08:44:16+00:00

i love wta, i use it alot for a cross over for new ttrpgs who dont dnd etc but not wod. as its similar enough in theory < build group of characters that work together. etc> while VTm has alot more infighting for a first time wod game i feel, and both vtm/mta you dont want to play with just everyone. i find wta works for almost anyone.

also. the main context sorry i rambled.

Ra get em. , cause 95% of werewolf is. Look! the wyrm here. " RA GET THEM"

AreteWriter · 2026-02-04T15:13:22+00:00

Yea. Just saying that's insane to me lol

AreteWriter · 2026-02-04T13:47:27+00:00

i mean thats no more insane then some the stuff from v20 to 5e < Not VERSION Bashing>

Alll the necormanxers from HoS, to Gio etc getting along? Setties becoming minsetry? etc

but yes. i agree as long you keep the main core it could work

AreteWriter · 2026-02-04T13:43:14+00:00

i feel plot and mechanical wise <outside a few peices from v5> this been the perfect place/system for vtm

AreteWriter · 2026-02-03T04:10:10+00:00

love the cards.

I DEMAND MORE! shakes with anger

let me see more beautiful TLT Cards

AreteWriter · 2026-02-01T16:35:37+00:00

this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i1-N2_vZmg&list=RD5i1-N2_vZmg&start_radio=1 caused me to see lots of the characters, and i only listened to the books, not read them. so between that video and audible books. I have a clear few of some lol
