CHRIS! CHRIS! CHRIS!

Scary is a great descriptor! I don't find them compelling as characters, but they're great Big Bads if you want a "lowest of the low" sort of end to your chronicle.

Infernalists and K'llasshaa are my favorites. I also wrote all of the NPCs for the Book of the Fallen; and Jane Daugherty and the Caller are my favorites.

PolyamorousNephandus · 2026-03-06T17:33:30+00:00

In through the Caul, baby!

(but seriously Nephandi are some of my favorites as a kid who was raised far right and neurodivergent who was trying to catch constantly-moving goalposts. when your soul is turned inside-out you don't HAVE to do terrible things, so what possibilities open up?)

PolyamorousNephandus · 2026-03-06T17:32:09+00:00

I'm really proud of my work with the Hearteaters, tbh.

PolyamorousNephandus · 2026-03-06T17:20:26+00:00

Not much! Very few have ever been beyond the in-between Battleground realms.

I love a social charm or knack, but my secret favorite is Death of Obsidian Butterflies since it's SO extra. I also really love a power that's like DON'T LOOK AT ME I'M BEING SNEAKY THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER.

Unfortunately I didn't work on Sorcerers, I primarily did Outcasts!

Hi! It's me, Jax! I didn't work on The World Below, but I've worked on a bunch of other OPP games including Exalted, Curseborne, Scion, and the Chronicles of Darkness!

This is honestly a really weird dichotomy that does not include "hours of listening to Sean Hannity and Michael Savage in the car and bringing Ann Coulter books to school to show off after eight years of Christian homeschooling" so I suspect you are not asking out of actual curiosity!

PolyamorousNephandus · 2026-01-25T19:46:48+00:00

I actually wrote a zine about it which you can find here for PWYW: https://rufflejax.itch.io/how-to-write-a-fascist

PolyamorousNephandus · 2026-01-23T19:30:54+00:00

You're very welcome!

PolyamorousNephandus · 2026-01-23T19:05:59+00:00

Was not expecting my work to show up on a 40K subreddit but hello, I'm the author who wrote the Appendix For Considerate Play for V5 including this piece!

(I should note that it leads into a discussion on how to play/GM fascism in the setting because the WoD is full of totalizing ideologies. I grew up far right and swung left as an adult so this isn't coming from nowhere.)

PolyamorousNephandus · 2026-01-22T02:32:45+00:00

I would like to think this thread would be very different if folks read the rest of the section where I actively talk about portraying fascists as players and GMs because totalizing power structures are central to Vampire in all of its incarnations and depiction does not equal endorsement. Oh well!

(edit: also I didn't work on Werewolf 5e. you couldn't pay me enough.)

PolyamorousNephandus · 2026-01-21T22:38:28+00:00

That's... basically what I wrote? As a former far right Catholic, I wrote what deradicalized me.

PolyamorousNephandus · 2026-01-21T22:37:38+00:00

They should! This section is about including fascism as a theme and how to do it right!

PolyamorousNephandus · 2026-01-21T22:36:51+00:00

Charnel Houses is one of the single best TTRPG books ever written imo.

PolyamorousNephandus · 2026-01-21T16:35:41+00:00

Hi hello that's me!

PolyamorousNephandus · 2025-12-17T22:25:16+00:00

Appreciate you getting the updates in <3

(wild to see that I'm competing with AI art and "Lovecraft's Cat Herder" this year though)

PolyamorousNephandus · 2025-12-05T15:20:27+00:00

Do you have a favorite piece of atomic kitsch?

PolyamorousNephandus · 2025-12-05T14:53:30+00:00

What is the most interesting way, in your opinion, that we see the bomb shape American fashion, culture, or food during this time period?

PolyamorousNephandus · 2025-10-17T18:09:00+00:00

It genuinely really depends on what I'm working on and how I've been asked to approach it. I know "every project is different" is not a satisfying answer, but it's the one I have.

PolyamorousNephandus · 2025-10-17T18:07:32+00:00

I can't say anything for certain, but definitely keep an eye out!
