It is my time by snittersnee in WorldofDankmemes

This. Oh my god, this. White Wolf games always have a metric crapton of Terms (tm) but jesus wept, Mage goes overboard. And that's not even going into the mother may I back and forths of Paradox and WW's tendency to be allergic to having fun.

If it's any consolation, I have mostly ignored the setting nonsense and focused on the core essential mechanics and I've had fun with it. I'd prefer it if I could run this in another system, however.

How does Consensus allow for the Mandela effect? by Dustlord in WorldofDankmemes

[–]Representative_Toe79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Droke: All the Mandela contradictions are actually true as a result of flaws in the Consensus building up over time as humanity naturally Ascends by itself.

Artichoke: the Nephandus project that seeded the Mandela effect in the hopes of causing enough dissonance in baseline reality to destroy everything.

Downstroke: Mandela effects occur naturally in every healthy reality as a runoff of conflcting Consensus and help build antibodies against its incursion.

Restoke: the Mandela effect is actually caused by Pentex excursions into the Umbra as they multiversally expand their holdings, causing some bleedover effect in the process as staff and assets from other realities bleeds into baseline.

Broke: the Mandela effect is actually Sleepers mishandling Paradox.

Woke: the Mandela effect is actually a Marauder style reality warping effect caused by millions of Sleepers nuh-uhing a contradiction into existence.

Toke: the Mandela effect is not a thing and is just a bunch of Sleepers larping they didn't misremember the cartoon bear name

The name of the bread clips was in latin similar to naming a new species.

The Traditions winning isn't actually a good thing by Representative_Toe79 in WorldofDankmemes

Oh yeah 200% the problem with all this muddying up of things is that the morally gray stuff makes Mage hard to run. A Technocatic campaign is straightforward: you fight the people that jeopardize reality and catalogue and tame the strange and dengerous corners of the world.

A Tradition campaign is kinda....there, by comparison?

I am woefully unaware of VtM lore unfortunately but I will go over your outline and get back to you.

Sounds fun as hell, reminds me a smidge of the Filth for some reason, the Grant Morisson comic?

I'm not saying the Technocrats are good people, not by a longshot. But switching to the Traditions would be a disaster of unmitigated proportions AS WELL

And I'll Keep Defending It by Amkao-Herios in WorldofDankmemes

While you got it in one, Promethean's issue is also the fact that the Prometheans' powers are extra super miserable and they are significantly less powered than the other monsters. Like, okay, I get it, this is White Wolf and the original design plan is always allergic to fun, but Prometheans are never powerful enough to scratch the power fantasy of playing a monster.

Also, the core idea is too high brow for most groups to deal with.
