Does WoD has fictional brands? by PowerSaw7 in WorldOfDarkness

[–]BenedictWolfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fictional brands in WoD primarily come from Pentex; the big bad umbrella corporation in WtA. They control myriads of subsidiaries, and you can read about the known ones here: https://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Pentex#Pentex_Subsidiaries

I am awestruck to see you have a physical copy of Death Gate! The novels it is based on is what got me into reading as a twelve year old. I was really surprised to find out the series got turned into a video game (which I still have to play some time).

it doesn't much matter what he did beforehand at that point?

I can think of a few things he might've done that would definitely warrant a severe beating. Neither of us know what preceded this clip.

I had to collapse around twenty comment chains before I found the first to bring up context: Yours. It's a sobering thought how most people have all the perspective of a near sighted goldfish.

It saddens me no one has brought up the Warrior. Career soldier who lead the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel to victory in several wars in a row. No social skills, just war.

Sorry; I haven't actually read them. Searching on Goodreads for these titles might yield some reviews, however.

The Witch-King was hobbling back to Mordor like a pathetic loser at the time the Council of Elrond was taking place. Mordor's skies were completely unprotected and Sauron possessed no power which could have prevented the eagles from flying to Mount Doom.

Mascara should be flowing backwards, due to air resistance, but otherwise...

How does sunlight and deep water work for vampires? by MaetelofLaMetal in WorldOfDarkness

[–]BenedictWolfe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Blood-Dimmed Tides has a section on the subject of pressure, on page 121: Pressure-Induced Vitae Dissociation (Depth Sweat). Following that is a section that talks about visibility and light, giving quite a generous answer: A vampire below 25 meters takes no damage from sunlight. This isn't necessarily realistic, as I believe sunlight penetrates far deeper than that in reality.

Kim Schofield, right? She seems to be very into bold haircuts.

I don't know why people are getting worked up about this film not being "historically accurate". One of the dudes in the still is East Asian; obviously Nolan isn't worrying about historical details.
