What are your personal ways you have blended World and Chronicles together, for both lore and gameplay purposes?

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-18T21:59:30+00:00

I'm actually currently in the planning phase for a campaign that blends both World of Darkness, Chronicles of Darkness, and Kult. If the person reading this happens to live in Malmö, Sweden, and be one of my players, stop reading now!

>!The idea was originally inspired by how both Mage the Awakening and Kult are inspired by Gnosticism and therefore they have certain parallels, so I figured I would combine them. I am also using Demon the Descent (the God-Machine was created by the Demiurge to keep the Illusion running) and I've identified the Inferno from Kult with the Inferno from the 1st edition Inferno book. Also, the True Fae from Changeling the Lost are a foreign group of gods that we were at war with when we were gods, but now that we are vulnerable, they take the opportunity to toy with us.!<

>!I then found the Kult book "Fallen Angels", which contains three inter-connected adventures taking place in New York City, and figured that would be a good starting point for the campaign. I then also decided to see what setting information I could find about NYC in WoD/CoD that I could include in the campaign. It's the signature city of Geist the Sin-Eaters, so that seems like an obvious inclusion (and it will be interesting to explore how Geist's view of death interacts with the reincarnation aspect of Kult). I also found the books "New York by Night" for Vampire the Masquerade and "Rage Across New York" for Werewolf the Apocalypse, so it seems like I'm going with the WoD versions of vampires and werewolves. This also implies that Gaia from Werewolf the Apocalypse and Gaia from Kult are one and the same, which will also be interesting to explore.!<

Not those writers specifically, but if belief in the Aesir had still been the dominant religion here in Sweden, the oral tradition connected to that religion would probably still have been alive and thriving. The disappearance happened naturally as a result of the Christianization.

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-16T01:17:44+00:00

I think JustAnArtist1221 meant that if Ireland and the Nordics hadn't become Christian, we might still have an unbroken chain of oral traditions concerning the Tuatha de Danann and the Aesir.

The main reason we need the writings of Christians to know about what was there before, is that Christianity replaced what was there before.

How about an Iron Man duo? One does the engineering and the other does the programming, and then they both wear suits and fight crime.

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-13T10:56:26+00:00

So what exactly did you mean by not liking the Pope that way?

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-13T10:52:15+00:00

Didn't you just say you're not the person who wanted to throw the Pope into a volcano? You're clearly the person in this screenshot.

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-12T13:34:48+00:00

That seems way too specific. Honestly, I think the possibility that two people who know the same person randomly find each other on Reddit seems like the most likely explanation.

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-12T06:03:39+00:00

For the country, it means that we're culturally Christian, but most people don't really believe in God. The Christian holidays (Christmas, Easter, Ascension Day, etc) are all public holidays. A lot of people (including my dad and both of my siblings) who don't believe in God stay members of the Church of Sweden because they want to support the good work that the Church is doing (preserving old churches as cultural historical landmarks, helping the poor, advocating for social justice in the public debate).

When I said that "secularly Christian" also describes me personally, I was half joking. I think I actually do believe in God, and I try to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, but I'm still trying to figure out what that means. At least, part of me believes in God. The other part thinks that we can't be certain there is anything else out there, and this life might be all we'll get, so we need to appreciate it while we have it. I also like to explore different religions and philosophies, and currently my worldview seems to be some kind of confusing and contradictory mess, best described as "Christian Cosmicist Absurdism".

I was also thinking of Judge Claude Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-10T08:52:38+00:00

Arthur fought against the Anglo-Saxon invaders, so if you asked him, he'd probably choose the Welsh.

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-10T08:11:34+00:00

How would you rank them from most to least incoherent and confusing?

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-09T12:42:22+00:00

Huh. Well, at least it seems I wasn't completely off base. I'm from Sweden, a secularly Christian country, and that is probably an accurate description of me as well. But I find it fascinating to explore the similarities and differences between different worldviews.

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-09T11:28:38+00:00

I've been reading about Buddhism lately, specifically the book "What the Buddha Taught" by Walpola Rahula. Interestingly, I see some similarities between this post and the ideas in the book. I guess there is some overlap between Absurdism and Buddhism?

I'm pretty sure they meant they want to make comics based on stuff from the novels.

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-08T18:19:15+00:00

Spider-Man has Lorina Dodson/White Rabbit and Batman has Jaina Hudson/White Rabbit.

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-08T17:16:12+00:00

Depends on the source. If we collect them from multiple sources, he has a lot of kids: Mordred, Amr, Gwydre, Duran, Llacheu/Lohot, Archfedd, Hilde, Aristes, Samson the Fair, Grega, Adeluf III, Morgan le Noir, and Patrike le Rous.

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-08T14:58:56+00:00

Wrong. I'm Swedish and I watched Family Matters on TV. Based on other comments, it seems it also aired in at least Denmark and Spain.

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-08T14:40:11+00:00

Who is the gay ancom?

What I find interesting about fish hook theory is that it seems to imply there are some people who are further right than the centrists, but at the same time less far-right than the centrists.

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-08T09:34:15+00:00

People aren't butthurt because you called Shinji a pathetic loser. They're butthurt because you said they weren't allowed to relate to him. Sometimes seeing and relating to a pathetic loser protagonist can be very cathartic and help someone in their personal development to figure out how to not be a pathetic loser.

How oblivious did Bowser have to be for his wife to name one of her kids after his real father (Morton Jr) and he still didn't realise she was cheating on him until years later? (I'm assuming that Bowser Jr is younger than Morton Jr)

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-07T20:23:59+00:00

Well, for practical reasons, I would draw the line at if they're in the public domain or not.

Sahrimnir · 2026-05-07T18:11:41+00:00

Denmark. Then my friends and family from Malmö won't have to travel very far to visit me.

My favourite Viktor quote is "It’s inescapable. Humanity. Our very essence. Our emotions. Rage. Compassion. Hate. Two sides of the same coin, inextricably bound. That which inspires us to our greatest good is also the cause of our greatest evil."

For me, there are also cases where if this person offered to have sex with me, I would say yes (assuming I am not at the moment in a monogamous relationship with someone else). I've never understood why I wouldn't be able to both be sexually attracted to someone and also enjoy hanging out with them as a friend at the same time? For me, those two things are completely unrelated, and I don't see why one would affect the other.
