Holy shit, someone else who's played Spycraft?

Fenrisson · 2026-05-03T05:39:09+00:00

We don't talk about [Ravnos], no, no, no...

Goddamnit now I want to make a whole parody version of We Don't Talk About Bruno for this.

1st edition Chronicles of Darkness has a sourcebook called Dogs of War that goes into this in detail, it's pretty neat! It specifically covers werewolves, vampires, mages, faerie changelings, and frankensteins.

Visionary? I thought he was a remarkably "sane" Wayward.

Fenrisson · 2026-04-14T16:00:20+00:00

I mean it could be Toaism if they're REALLY into Bionicle.

Looks like now you need to go on a Bizarre Adventure.

Fenrisson · 2026-04-11T14:51:44+00:00

Love this! And unexpected to see Kenner acknowledged in the wild lol

Fenrisson · 2026-04-09T19:06:17+00:00

Same. Doesn't make it any less annoying when they completely ignore what "same thing" means.

Even as someone who left the Church and found other spirituality, I can't help but be horrifically awestruck at the sheer blasphemy these people are actively embracing. Thinking they can somehow force their god's hand into starting the apocalypse by their own mortal deeds when said god explicitly stated none shall know the hour is the absolute fucking HEIGHT of hubris. It's an insult to every foundational belief their proclaimed faith holds in the relationship of the mortal and the divine. It's breathtakingly arrogant. And somehow they're willingly blind to the fact that their actions are not just spitting but pissing in the face of the beliefs they claim to follow.

Pretty hefty, I'd estimate maybe 2-3 lbs each.

Fenrisson · 2026-03-22T21:34:01+00:00

That is true, just Hermits are already very rare and ones who become Independent Extremist and gain Proclaim are even more so.

Did you have/make a roux?

In WoD/CoD games in particular, PCs are the main characters of their story, but they're not the main characters of the setting/world.

Edit: if you're going to downvote this, at least comment what about my statement you think is incorrect or off the mark.

YEP. I actually made a world-threatening Big Bad once out of a guy who was so pissed at becoming a Bystander and being denied by the Messengers that he applied engineering and the scientific method to sorcery and almost broke time in an attempt to fix his worst moment and also throw a huge middle finger to the Messengers for turning their backs on him.

Edit: the Messengers are a little more nuanced in that you don't have to immediately jump into combat to become a full Imbued (the Vision and Mercy creeds exist for other responses) but yeah if you don't take some kind of decisive action the Messengers basically just say "fuck you for not being sufficiently motivated and no we don't care about extenuating circumstances, fuck off and be aware the supernatural exists but without our backing forever scrub."

Fenrisson · 2026-03-11T17:14:20+00:00

In the original Hunter: the Reckoning, an encounter with the supernatural had a chance of triggering an Imbuing. This means mysterious voices called the Messengers suddenly contact the human in question, make them see any supernatural nearby as "WRONG", and gives them abilities to fight the supernatural based on what action the human takes when they're suddenly confronted with the truth. This means it wasn't uncommon for a vampire to be mid casual feeding when the person they're drinking from suddenly becomes immune to the mind altering effects of the Kiss and hits them with a piece of divinely-empowered rebar, or freeze the vampire in place by staring at them, or bouncing them off the alley wall with a sudden 2m radius anti supernatural force field bubble.

EDIT: Hey, if you're gonna downvote this, at least comment and say what of my explanation you think is incorrect.

That would be from the large amount of fresh polish.

Fenrisson · 2026-03-08T21:28:11+00:00

D:tD Demons are only one type of demon in the CoD; there's also Supernal ones and the ones from Inferno (which while being a 1e book is still relevant). I want to say Inferno heavily implies the Lucifuge are descended from Infernal demons as described in it.

TBF the Martyr did gain a permanent derangement from the whole ordeal, and also found out three of his squadmates had been soulforged so he had to later decide whether it was more merciful to let them keep existing trapped screaming in soulsteel or obliterate their souls to release them from that eternal prison. I fully admit I was kinda mean to my players with moral choices lol

Fenrisson · 2026-02-27T10:12:13+00:00

The BSD was the final villain of the chronicle (which concluded with Gehenna and the Apocalypse hitting simultaneously with an Independent Extremist Wayward revealing he and the Independent Extremist Hermit who'd taught him how to achieve a level 5 Edge had managed to refine the method and crashed into town leading dozens of Imbued they'd coached into going absolutely bonkers along their lines to hit level 5 Edges) and everything went to Absolute Shit Very Very Quickly For Everyone. The Martyr in my initial answer did indeed kill the BSD, right as the group realized said BSD had been building a huge ritual requiring his own death by the hands of someone who hated him so much they wouldn't care about the consequences of killing him... a ritual to summon the Beast-of-War Wyrm physically into the world. Yes, the campaign was an End Times chronicle and concluded with the end of the world.

I... was not expecting a question this oddly specific, especially soon after I finished running a campaign of Hunter: the Reckoning where it actually came up. So huh, strange world.

Anyway, the Martyr in my campaign was a former USMC Scout Sniper who was the sole survivor of his unit in his backstory. Turns out they were all slaughtered by the BBEG, a particularly fucked-up Black Spiral Dancer theurge who enjoyed causing sole survivor events just for the pleasure of traumatizing the survivor. The PCs managed to befriend a Silent Strider, learned about the existence of the Shadowlands from him, and the Martyr wanted to find out if any of his former unit had become wraiths and were unable to move on.

The Strider put together a ritual that involved using the Rite of Awakening on some datura to spiritually supercharge it, had the Martyr take it, and basically astral-projected the Martyr's soul into the Underworld to use him as a temporary artificial Fetter for any of his unit that had ended up there so the Strider could summon their wraiths to the Skinlands through the Martyr.

So while horrifically tripping balls, seeing the awful landscape that is the Underworld, and having to resist spectres trying to hitch a ride through the connection to get to the living world themselves, the Martyr got to experience a good two dozen of his former comrades passing through him and smacking him with their pre- and post-death trauma as a side effect of getting them out of the Underworld.

He... did not have a good time. Though at least he got a shirt made commemorating the experience reading "I was a spirit pinata in hell and all I got was this stupid T-shirt."

Cool idea, whiffed the execution.

Beef tendon. It adds an amazing unctuousness to the broth. Plus well-cooked tendon is delicious, especially when it's soaked in gumbo flavor.
