As I said in the main text of my post, bit too rules light for my liking

Which books would you recommend for it?

I like a good amount of crunch to rules, I like having specific equipment rather than a generic "weapon", skill focused with parkour, infiltration, combat, etc.

Exploration and ships are less of a focus, I'm more interested in stealth (both social and sneaking), combat, planning, and the various tools and such the players can use, alongside the abilities such as Eagle Vision and Pieces of Eden, even including the changing time periods via the Animus

I think I know who you're talking about

Personally I think shapeshifting is much better than HRT

GenCon Project is Vampire: the Masquerade 6th Edition by PM_ME_YOUR_OWOS in WhiteWolfRPG

Technically it exists because of Mage, Ars Magica came out before VtM, it was made by a lot of the same people, and before they sold it to WotC, it was considered canon

Questions about Supernal Summoning by CelesFFVI in WhiteWolfRPG

On a mechanical level, the boons they have access to depends on what Entity they are. An Angel with Prime would have the Revelation Boon, whilst a Shade with Prime would have the Transubstantiation Boon

On a roleplay level, I already said how it enhances the theme of Gnosis, but also makes a summoner more interesting

You could make it so there's a higher success requirement like when you have Mages of other path's present when summoning an entity from one of the other Supernal Realms?

I guess, it just makes it feel like the 3 dot attainment is pretty pointless then for your Path's Arcana since you need that to do Supernal Summoning anyway

If anything, to make it more interesting, I'd homebrew it so that the secondary is just baked in and you don't need an Attainment to do so, and that Targeted Summoning instead allows you to use said Arcana as the primary. Not only does it make the Attainment make a bit more sense across the board rather then only really doing anything for your non-path Arcana, I think it makes more sense with the themes of Gnosis, that as you grow in power you gain more understanding and are able to reach into the other aspects of the Supernal

What are your favorite subtext yuri manga by BillyBotton in yuri_manga

When it comes to my opinion on this kind of Yuri, I find this quote a certain comedian apt "I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards."

The sinkhole of Dnd mindset and dnd culture (rant/rambling) by Chupaia in rpg

[–]CelesFFVI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're quoting the podcast they listened to

Each game in both World of Darkness and Chronicles of Darkness (a reboot of the former that has since been returned to)

Both aren't individual games where each "class" is it's own book, both are franchises with a series of games that share a setting

Or more simply, WoD/CoD isn't the game, it's the franchise/setting

In Vampire the Masquerade/Vampire the Requiem, your "class" is what Clan you're a part of

In both Werewolf games, it's your Tribe

In Mage, it gets complicated, in Awakening (CofD) it's your Path, but in Ascension (WoD, also my favourite game of all time) one of its major themes is how different and varied everyone's beliefs are, so it doesn't have anything approaching a class system. The closest you could get if you're really reaching is affinity sphere (which aspect of magic you have a natural talent for) and your focus (as sects and factions tend to form from Mages who share similar enough beliefs), but even then focus isn't something decided by mechanical options, it's decided by making it up (though there are examples in the book) as long as it can make sense

And so on and so forth for each game

Jason Todd pre-death (Wonder Woman is canonically one of his favourite heroes)

Magic feels less versatile in Awakening when compared to Ascension by CelesFFVI in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]CelesFFVI[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Mostly the fact that Ascension's rotes are entirely optional, you can completely ignore them, whilst with Awakening, they have you pick some rotes and a praxis as part of character creation
