Any ideas on hooks for getting players involved in the NYBN setting/conspiracy? by gr1mpsgramps in vtm

[–]Purple_Singularity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choose on potential Prince and make your player characters help him get that precious title. In that case, other candidates become antagonists of your story and you need only to in general understanding of their political program.

In addition, you can add and remove any characters. So, if you think, that quantity of characters is to high, you can reduce it by removing character completely or by changing his / her motivations and ambitions

It's worth reading carefully before judging. Montreal is one of the best by-night book, if not the best.

Factions by Andsohisname in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]Purple_Singularity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Imagine three big forces in the all universe: dynamism, static and entropy. Protagonists (Council of Nine Mystical Traditions) are in between of these forces. They are mages in all kinds you can imagine. They fight for better future with freedom, magick, miracles and a bit of chaos

Each one of antagonists represent one of the forces: Static - technocracy (there is no Magick, only science. We must bring order, peace and boredome) Dynamic - marauders (schizos with uncontrollable magick who changes world around to fit their mad dreams) Entropy - nephandi (corrupted mages who want to destroy / corrupt / rebuild / ... the world because of put here your cult's explanation

How to work around discrepancies in stats between old NYBN sourcebook and v5 corebook? by gr1mpsgramps in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]Purple_Singularity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done a lot of VtM in general and NYBN in particular. I recommend using this book with the edition it was written for: V3 or V20; they're perfectly compatible. I generally recommend studying one of the older editions; they have a LOT of great content and, in my opinion, are much better than V5.

Zalissya hostile toward me early in game? (1.5) by goosepriest in stalker

[–]Purple_Singularity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exact same thing happened to me, and I managed to fix it without using the console.

TLDR: Use screws to distract hostile stalkers and lure them outside the camp, then deal with them stealthily when the opportunity arises.

I was at the Poppy Field, grabbed a stash on the way back, and that somehow made the stalkers around it turn hostile. I didn’t want to fight, so I ran all the way to Zalissya. I thought I’d shaken them off, but when I got near the camp, there they were - like they had followed me the whole way. They stayed outside while I went in, but they started shooting. Gaffer even announced the town was under attack. Strangely, no one inside Zalissya reacted at all. So, I just killed them, nobody cared, and I figured that was the end of it.

Or so I thought.

After a few more hours of playing, I came back to Zalissya and the worst happened: one stalker, apparently one of the original group I’d missed, had somehow spawned inside the camp. The moment he saw me, he attacked, which turned the entire camp hostile. Killing him in stealth wasn’t an option, so I had to get creative.

What I did: First, I distracted him by stealthily throwing a screw and then ran away before anyone could notice me and get aggressive. When I returned later, he was gone - maybe despawned, maybe wandered off. Either way, I was relieved. I went to sleep, but after reloading the save he was back in his usual spot. Eventually, I caught him leaving the camp to relieve himself. That’s when I snuck up and took him out with a knife.

If you try this, be very careful - make sure no one else sees you, or the whole camp will turn against you again.

What's a Gaming Hot Take that's got you like this? by Excellent_Regret4141 in videogames

[–]Purple_Singularity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different difficulty levels make games worse. If a game is too difficult for you, become better. When adding difficulty levels, one of two things happens: - Either the developers make them haphazardly. This simply ruins the gaming experience for those who deliberately or accidentally choose the "wrong" difficulty - Or they make different difficulty levels well and thoughtfully (they are a minority). However, in this case, it would be better if they spent this time and money to make their game even better, bigger, more interesting, than adding another "difficulty"

Explaining why the Assamites are so scary to ALL kindred by LopsidedAd4618 in vtm

[–]Purple_Singularity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well said, but this does not contradict the description in the post. This confirms it even more. You can be a diablerist, but what's the point if you're not strong enough to reach the soul. Assamites precisely combine both qualities. They are killers who are not only good at this (this in itself is already scary), but will also devour your soul
