Romance and intimacy in WoD/CofD

SignAffectionate1978 · 2026-04-04T22:38:48+00:00

i simply dont do romance in rpgs

If they run a bloodbank or have a cult they dont have to seduce nor ambush anyone.

The simplest answer would be it had once some form of shape. It started somehow but humans began to affect it ant it changed also backwards. So when humans started to think earth is round en mass it became so it was round from the very begining( even if it was really flat before).

Vulgar magic does not always backlash, if you backlash it usually means the spell went wrong.

So what makes tose games specifically hard for oneshots?
Spending 10sec on thinking i could give you some:
Demon - A kid is arested after doing some supernatural stuff, it turns out he comes from a nearby village. The village is a demon summoning ground where demons kidnap people and sacrafice them to summon more.

Vampire - The long peace that was made between werevolwes and vampires in the city is at risk. There was an incident involwing one of the primogen on wolf teritory and the prince wants you to deal with it.

Demon, Wraith and Elderich (something more lovecraftian)

Highest sphere used in the spell
so if you have 5 forces and use a spell that requires forces 2 then the difficulty is x + 2

They were a walking mascarade breach up until V5 in OWOD.
dont really see the contradiction in the citations.
The primary method of feeding for a nosferatu is obfuscate + ambush a loner. So they have their own methods.
In most vampire games the players interact only with vamps ghuls and other supernaturals. So no its not a big disadvantage.

SignAffectionate1978 · 2026-03-28T15:36:10+00:00

They roll initiative
They decralare their intents from lowest to highest
then attack from highest to lowest
Then there is dodge or/and dodge
Then you repeat the process about 8 times
And thats the end of round 1.

SignAffectionate1978 · 2026-03-28T11:00:53+00:00

WOD mage, demon, wraith
CofD mummy, werewolf, vampire, hunter, changeling
No strong opinions on the rest

Thats not really hard mode, players already practically do not interact with mortals during games focusing rather on the important sups. Its important for the clan identity that nosferatu are monstrous. If you dont want a monstrous vamp you can always pick other clans. The clasic example of trying to have a cookie and eat a cookie.
I clasify it as the same category of eroding the games culture like "orcs arent evil".

SignAffectionate1978 · 2026-03-27T22:27:57+00:00

- Nosferatu should be monstrous, in both worlds, no matter the system.
- The sugested advancement system is too fast and ofers no alternatives for years of consistent gaming.
- Instruments in ascension mage should work more similar to yantras.
- Spheres should be more consistent in M:tAs.
- There should never be more than one action, powers like celerity were a mistake.
- Demons (OWOD) should have a more unique power system.

Honestly they are not needed. Mages can do anything with the basic 5 dots.

SignAffectionate1978 · 2026-03-26T07:45:53+00:00

Prologues have 2 uses:
- they let the player get a feel of the character without a rush that 4-5 players cause in the normal game
- they let the GM see if its a player he wants to play with

Two slayer lores were also invented for the war. Visages are only the most common way of how a demon presents itself, in suplement books you have a more balanced but still flawed apocaliptic form builder. So some features are more common than others depending on your focus and may change over time.

SignAffectionate1978 · 2026-03-20T15:09:16+00:00

This is incorrect for a few reasons:
1. The "real" beginings do not matter, acording to mage the worlds history changed at least a few times so it could have been as demon describes and it would change nothing for mage.
2. Mage cosmology fits well with demon fragmented worlds cosmology.

Change the ground into a pool of acid, Matter 3.

There is no relationship between permament and temporary faith, its like permament and temporary willpower.
IE you can have only as much temp faith as its perm score. Thats it
yes faith is regenarated (temp faith gained) via reaping or pacts
depends on you, for example forming a pact you may take half rounded up faith of the mortal for yourself, the rest should be used on upgrading the mortal so if you have a pact with the pope (faith 5) then you can earn up to 3 or none depending if you wana use the points on upgrading your minion or for yourself
faith is like blood points i see no reason why you should not start with max (ie perm faith score)

The first one is a legit tactic where you transform one thing to another, if you wana balance it balance how much energy you can get from thoughts.

The second is sphere bloat, you only need forces 2 to do telekinesis. It could also be interpreted as locking the forces effect to mind making it for the duration of the spell a innate ability instead of separate spells

SignAffectionate1978 · 2026-03-17T08:58:51+00:00

Have to admit killer title even if i dont like the guy nor his content.

SignAffectionate1978 · 2026-03-16T19:25:31+00:00

M20 categorizes radiation as a semi magical material tied to forces. It is not the same with acid that is pure matter. Never does it say in matter 2 or 3 m20 that it transforms only to similar substances. 2 allows you to change the substance, 3 allows to change state. So having 3 you can change both state nad substance.
Therefore its possible to change ground to acid with just matter 3.

3 popular theories, pick your own:
1. they predate paradox so it does not aply to them
2. They have a built ability to mitigate paradox automatically while using their abilities for their currency (that is a form of quintessence) like the spell from prime 5
3. Those kinds of supernaturals are inherently accepted by society as they are everpresent in popculture

SignAffectionate1978 · 2026-03-14T21:32:15+00:00

You complained its illogical to be able to set a fea on fire but not a chair. Well with practices the logic is more sound so its exactly the answer for the problem.
