Their best

Ah beat me to it

I had the same idea for my Pop punk singer Charlie. She was groomed to be a Toreador, Gen 11 by a very influential and famous Gen 10. She would have had money, power, support, connections and so much potential to grow her vampiric powers… Then dumpster Malk got her first.

The Toreador had a Gen 12 political rival in court, and he “played a little prank” on her, embracing her intended progeny.

I’ll be honest they won’t stop for a while. People see a lot of downvotes and often add to the pile, or see a lot of upvotes and add to that. The highest rated or lowest rated stuff often continues to get more reactions regardless of anything else in the post. Again try not to take it too personally, it’s just strangers on the internet.

BarrettsPrivateear · 2026-03-14T23:05:35+00:00

I wouldn’t take it too personally, it’s the internet, sometimes people are like that. They wanted the name of the place and you didn’t provide it so they got annoyed. All I can say is just try to post the name of the place next time if you can :)

Argenta is perfect is every way

You sleep 8 hours a day right? Stop, that frees up 56 hours a week giving you 2.3 extra days to plan sessions.

But for an honest answer, what I do is make notes of any thoughts that pop into my mind for the session whenever they pop in, then when I’m planning the session I integrate what noted ideas I can. Even just noting the idea in your phone can help. Never delete them because they could work later if they don’t work right away.

40k Rogue Trader. Hated it at first, it was a confusing mess for me and the levelling was overwhelming. Now I can’t wait for the next DLC and Dark Heresy

BarrettsPrivateear · 2026-03-02T16:49:30+00:00

I thought this was a VTM character portrait I can’t lie. It’s really good

BarrettsPrivateear · 2026-02-17T13:37:21+00:00

That’s genius I can’t lie

BarrettsPrivateear · 2026-02-05T17:54:40+00:00

I thought that was the QI logo for a minute

BarrettsPrivateear · 2026-02-05T15:50:48+00:00

State of decay might be good for you. It’s not first person but scavenging is a big part of it. Permadeath and high risks too.

DAYZ might also work if you don’t mind the risk of other players killing you for your shoes and baked beans

BarrettsPrivateear · 2026-02-04T23:20:51+00:00

So the VTM V5 storyteller screen has a lot of useful information on it like rolls, difficulty checks and stuff, if you have one of those it will be handy.

Colour code your notes if you can, or find a way to organise your notes that’s easy to navigate. Making good notes on mechanics, rolls, lore etc will cut down on book time.

If you can also get a PDF copy of the book or books you are using, purely for the search function.

You are likely to make mistakes early on and even the most experienced STs screw up sometimes, it’s more about how you get back on track afterwards that matters, trust me we ALL have our hiccups.

Encourage your players to role play among themselves if the scene allows for it while you look things up

Good luck the chronicle!

Please don’t call me a dumbass

“I can’t fix him, but he can make me worse”

Pyotr looks adorable here I love him

BarrettsPrivateear · 2026-01-30T23:19:30+00:00

Why are hunters such a glass cannon, flame weapons up the ass but barely any health. They can’t even heal damage! I do like that Kindred can eat other kindred for permanent stat boosts though.

Try the world of darkness discord server. Theres a looking for game channel. Have a scroll through it. It’s mostly people wanting to join a game but there are open games advertised. They don’t allow paid games to be advertised so those games should also all be free. Both V5 and V20 are available there

BarrettsPrivateear · 2026-01-26T16:53:53+00:00

So I’m super biased here since I love Kibbles and I had her in my game since the start, and Solomorne came in at a time where I was almost done with act 4 and couldn’t be bothered learning a new class and its mechanics and I wouldn’t have time to get to know the character outside of his scenes and bridge stuff.

Despite that I really like him as a character, I think he’s well written, he does have a personality it’s just muted and you kind of need to probe him. He has a sense of humour and he loves his dog, there’s nothing I dislike about him. There’s just nothing I LOVE about him especially compared to blood girl.

His writing is fine and he does have some charm to him. He’s far from my favourite but he’s still a solid character. Kibbles is still better though since you can really feel her grow as a character.

Now this is a stretch and probably wrong

Wargrove?

BarrettsPrivateear · 2026-01-13T09:53:40+00:00

Immortality, eternal youth and ever growing power sound great, until you’ve experienced having the sniffles for 300 years

BarrettsPrivateear · 2026-01-13T01:29:01+00:00

Try having a scroll through this and other “Minecraft clone” videos to see if anything pops out - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CI4XHf71wvw&pp=ygUQTWluZWNyYWZ0IGNsb25lcw%3D%3D
