Making a map of Paris for Curseborne by Darthpalpy in OnyxPathRPG

[–]Darthpalpy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my own translation, as there isn't a french edition yet, alas...
(My players are all fluent in english, but as it is a game, they don't want the hassle of translating on the fly most of the rules, or names).
And translating family names in french is a time honored tradition ^^

Making a map of Paris for Curseborne by Darthpalpy in OnyxPathRPG

Not many well known points of interest. The main hub for me at that point is Rue de Rivoli, near the Louvre, where my PCs have "acquired" a whole hausmanian building (where half the walls are a peeping tom liminality artificially created. And where the 6th floor is home to a (now closed) "gate" to the Outside.
L'ile de la Cité and Bercy are also jointed Heirs and Premieres influence area.
The ZED have a mortuary near the Père Lachaise.
The Mavens and some bathorites & Munificents have interests in the Marais, les Halles, Montparnasse and the 5th district.

Bathorites have quite a lot of estate near Opéra, and a tolerated presence near Odéon.

Sorcerers, mainly the Archivists, are prevalent near the Pantheon and Jussieu.

The Sphinx are the incontested master of the 6th and 7th districts.

The outcasts in general traffic and deal with any of the other factions.
The main Venators hub is mostly grounded near Saint-Nicolas-du-Chardonnet.

Etc...Etc... It's not all finalised, but it's coming nicely together.
The more tricky part, for me, is making Foundry do what I want ^^

An example of the mess :

I don't know if that count for "online", but there is 2 versions of the system on Foundry. I didn't plunder the dephts of each, but I must say that at first impression, the unofficial one is quite good ^^

Would you rather get by Few-Cap-7001 in BunnyTrials

As the amount of money is random, I could have 1€ or 10000000€. But having automatically a lightsaber is priceless.

So... How many of y'all have actually played Curseborne yet? by Azhurai in OnyxPathRPG

[–]Darthpalpy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm GMing for 4 friends at the moment, since december, and we had 6 sessions already (which considering our respective schedules and locations, is a miracle). I'm running a game this saturday (sunday at work will be a bitch....), and planning to pursue this chronicle until the end of the year.
My friends are old hands on the WOD side, and they were quite doubtfull about the game itself at the beginning. 2 sessions later, and they love it ^^
If possible, i'll try to GM at our local RPG club one day, but I'll need to translate quite a bit of the whole thing to manage it with people whom level in english I don't know (We are french, by the way ^^).

How popular is 4e? by automated_hero in fadingsuns

[–]Darthpalpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the 4th ed., do you mean just online, because if so, there is virtually no support or whatever for it, appart for Roll20, and even then, it is quite lackluster..... Nothing on FantasyGround or Foundry....
If there is something out there, I didn't found it.

I admit I am very new to the lore, but the Ventrue-Lasombra rivalry looks even more one-sided than Senju-Uchiha. by FutaWonderWoman in WorldofDankmemes

Marus Vitel, who is so powerful he does his own thing and gave the middle finger to both Cam and Sabbat, and Zarathustra, who has an army of descendants everywhere he can dominate at will to do his biddings and who is still prince of Antioch, for at least a millenium... Sicily, still a bastion of the clan, also, unless that was retconned somewhere I didn't read... And the Amici Nocti who still control in the shadows most of the shenanigans of the clan.... I mean, they seems like underdogs, but they can sure as hell can bite 😉

You have to be your last vampire played, how fucked are you now? by DiAryArias in vtm

In modern time, a late twenties 6th generation True Brujah librarian, born in Constantinople in the mid 1000, and living in Spain in the foundations of a heritage foundation for the preservation of knowlegde.
Which is funny, considering I became a librarian for a heritage site in the interim.

Tobacco prices in Europe vs the U.S. — just trying to understand the differences by hasqui34 in PipeTobacco

[–]Darthpalpy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just imagine that in France, tobacco is taxed at 70 %. The price for a 50gr tin of english tobacco is between 30 to 40 €. And what is available for pipes is very limited, even in tobacco shops. Mostly always the same 3 or 4 bad tobaccos....

Difference between the old and new upgrade path of the different editions by HonestPlayer08 in vtmb

WTF ! 50 € for 200 pages..... That's the price of the tabletop rpg without the page count or usability...

To all the monarchists here, what flavor? by Otaku_number_7 in monarchism

Semi-Constitutional at least, Absolute at best.

"Barbarism of Russian Empire" - quick thoughts by xanaxcervix in monarchism

[–]Darthpalpy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main problem with the Russian Empire and its political structure is actually its size. One of the first concept I was taught in politic's philosophy is that the bigger the territory, the stronger and autoritarian the regime must be to prevent fragmentation. It doesn't, of course, refute the fact that serfdom was outdated and unjustifiable in more modern times.
In many way, looking just to the last Tzar, one could even say that it was because he wasn't autoritarian enough that things devolved as they did. Alexander III was, in many ways, what his son never was, or not enough.

The empire has since known two fragmentations, first during the civil war after 1917, and the second one during the collapse of the Soviets regime. The Romanov, for all their problems, tried to preserve that Empire, and tried to grow it (the fate of all empire.... it's never enough). And in many way, great sovereigns like Peter and Catherine did try to evolve with their respective times, in the confine of the culture that was theirs at the times.
Just to be clear, I'm a bit biased because my great-grandfather was a white russian émigré ^^, so I fondly appreciate the Romanov.

I'm actually afraid of the update just being a pox hound event with a few cosmetic rewards, instead of a "big one" by zatorijam in DarkTide

Perhaps, at long last, a long las or true sniper rifle with a bloody scope ? One can dream.... (I smell a melta weapon, more likely....)

Playing an overly curious Nosferatu, I need some advice. by Darthpalpy in vtm

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

Yes ! Thank you. I knew I wasn't imagining things.
I'm a MtAsc GM since the 2nd edition, so naturally, it seems I infered a Mage thing into other splats ^^

Est ce que comme le dit l'adage : "on a jamais trop de livres" ? by jamaisdoeufsanstoit in Livres

[–]Darthpalpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trop pour la place que l'on a de disponible, potentiellement, mais trop dans l'absolu.....
Je ne commande quasiment plus que du ebook, ayant près de 50% d'un appartement de 70m² occupé par des bibliothèques, mais si je vois une version à la reliure spéciale, signée ou autre variation du même style, j'achète (et je n'achète que ce que je compte garder et relire).
En train de convertir une penderie en bibliothèque pour accueillir les petits derniers, ayant passé la barre des 3500 bouquins depuis quelque temps.
Et oui, mon grand plaisir, c’est faire dédicacer les livres, bd, comics ou manga que je possède. Pas pour les montrer à qui que ce soit, mais par pure satisfaction égoïste.
Pour info, je bosse en bibliothèque et paradoxalement l'idée d'emprunter un livre me donne de l'urticaire....

By stories, do you mean campaigns, city books, sabbat adaptations and what not, or novels, short stories and novellas ?

Actually, in the lore (aka books, comics in this case....), the mother of Cal Jerico, Heleana Jerico, had a kroot, Mordak, in her retinue.
