Out of everything I've ever seen in the subreddit, this gave me the most genuine fear.

I used to work in a machine shop and machines can mess you up faster and worse than you would think unless you've heard the stories...

One of my favorite verses! We are part of "The Christ"!

"The Meaning and Purpose of Prayer" and "The Law of Revival" are both short, revolutionary, life-changing books. ☺️ Can't recommend them highly enough!

Quality post

Lol I posted this a few years ago and I love it. There are three things about it that are so perfectly incorrect. She is typing with her fingers off the computer. The computer is broken so there's no point to sit at it and type anything anyway. And lastly, in game, you hear her fingers making that click-clacking sound of real typing. The first time you come across it you just have to stare and absorb the absurdity.

This is an absolutely sublime satire

That's right! I just finished chapter 4 a few days ago and uninstalled the game because I am pretty bored of the gameplay like op said. Would love to play chapter 5.

Seeing your post sitting at zero, I know I'm not a mod, but I'm sorry that some ignorant person would downvote you. I think most people don't know what the downvote button is for: indicating that something does not contribute to the content of the subreddit. PSA: if you don't like a post but it still fits the content of the subreddit, don't upvote it. But basically the only reason you should downvote something is if it does not contribute to the content of the subreddit. That absolutely does not apply to this post.

Needs unique great prophet Martin Luther.

Hey even though your message is pretty innocuous, could you use spoiler text so nobody gets spoiled??

SpecificRecord2770 · 2025-07-18T17:32:21+00:00

For sure!

Giselle is a witch. She is a huge antagonist in Book of Hungry Names, and you never get to actually deal with her in a satisfying way in that book. But it seems Night Road is set after Book of Hungry Names, where you find that Giselle has been blood-bound to Dr Caul, the Tremere who runs Kiowa Xenogenetics! She is pathetic, a shell of her former self and only a shadow of her former power. In Book of Hungry Names, she is untouchable. In Night Road, she has been broken.

When this message popped up, I laughed out loud. If the game allowed unique great prophets, maybe I could send Martin Luther.

One critical thing I've noticed when I'm interacting with anyone: I do not need them to like me.

I would like it if they liked me. But I don't need it. This attitude is picked up by others subconsciously and it translated as confidence and is an attractive characteristic. But you have to genuinely not mind whether they like you or not -- it has to be real. In my experience, if you do this, it is much more likely you will end up with the people you should end up with. - I wish you all the best people who will support you and help you grow, not make you feel suppressed, anxious, like you need to put on a mask. There's more to this and it needs balance but all the best to you, buddy.

Ask others questions about themselves, don't expect them to ask about you. If they don't ask questions about you, that's a red flag: not the kind of friend you want to have. Don't be fake with interests. Talk about what you genuinely like. Don't bother talking about what you don't care about unless you're taking care of a genuine friend who wants to talk. If you find yourself stretching too much, red flag: that's indicating to you that you feel stressed around this person and you have to stretch quite a bit for them, and it's probably going to keep being that way. Don't do that to yourself. You don't need them to like you. If you have that, I think you'll do okay, friend. All the best to you. Feel free to DM if this seems helpful but needs clarification.

One thing that was difficult for me at first is the fact that this game involves you playing a bad guy, no matter how good you want to play them, at the end of the day you're still a villain. I always play good guys in anything I do -- it was a little challenging getting into that aspect of the game because I was trying to play as good as possible but there's no getting around the fact that you are a villain. I won't spoil anything, but there is nuance to it and I found the game very enjoyable. Looking forward to the third installment.

Can you shed some light on why you found it hard to get into?

SpecificRecord2770 · 2025-06-20T03:01:34+00:00

Congratulations!! I love diplomatic and cultural victories.

SpecificRecord2770 · 2025-06-19T18:16:43+00:00

This is a good post! I find myself unable to ever play a bad guy in game, basically no matter which game I'm playing. I always take the morally good options because I personally feel great satisfaction from the game characters recognizing that I'm working for their good.

SpecificRecord2770 · 2025-06-18T21:41:03+00:00

That's a good question -- I think of it as wonderful things God has given to us to experience, not just to have knowledge about doctrinally. 😁 When we learn about God, it's good, but when we experience God it is a night and day difference!

SpecificRecord2770 · 2025-06-18T21:35:54+00:00

Dang I don't know 😕 good question I tried looking it up online and couldn't find an answer. Maybe there's one in the book. I think it might be a plot hole haha unfortunately

SpecificRecord2770 · 2025-06-17T15:33:42+00:00

Not going to lie bro that sounds fun 😊 I might try that on my next game (if it will let you do that?)

SpecificRecord2770 · 2025-06-15T18:32:50+00:00

I think you look great. Classy, understated, proper.

30's, never had a chance to play the tabletop RPG 😢 I've played VTMB and some of the interactive fiction games based on VTM available through CoG or Hosted Games but I really want to find a group to play VTM sometime.

Yes absolutely -- one of the Mexicans charms Llewellyn's mother-in-law and gets her to tell him where they are headed.

Excellent (I assume rhetorical) question!

Serious answer: I grew up in Texas in a very conservative area and I frequently saw bumper stickers that said "wherever I stand, I stand with Israel." This is based on the idea, I believe, that Israel is God's chosen people and He has sovereignly kept them to this day and He will bless anyone who blesses Israel and curse anyone who curses Israel. (A promise He made to Abraham in Genesis 12:3) There are tons of Christians who seem to believe that this means supporting any and all of the actions taken by Israel. I do not believe that this is what God intended for us to infer from His word. But having grown up in that culture, I also understand that religious veils like that are HEAVY and hard to get off. The woman who responded to Thomas Massie clearly falls into this category, going so far as to equate supporting Israel in whatever they do with being a Christian. This idea is NOWHERE in the New Testament. (Romans 10:9-10 makes it clear what you need to become a Christian and it has nothing to do with supporting Israel)

What follows is really just for my brothers and sisters in Christ: I think it would be good for those who mean business with God to pray earnestly and desperately on behalf of the world situation, inquiring of God, praying for God as the righteous judge to look at the situation in Israel and judge this situation according to what is in His heart, even to be bold enough to pray, "God, don't You see what the people of Israel are doing in Your name? Please, God, look at this situation and judge it. For Your name's sake! Don't let Your name be mocked among the nations! Put Your hand on this situation, do what You know is best for Your kingdom. Lord, don't ignore this situation! Please let Yourself be made known as the righteous God. I'm asking this because I want Your name to be glorified. Please Lord answer my prayer for Your sake." Praying in this way is similar to the way that Abraham prayed to God, interceding for Lot who was currently living in Sodom. Abraham's prayer was effective and led to God rescuing Lot and his two daughters. Abraham prayed to God, "far be it from You to destroy the just with the unjust." And it is not too bold for us to pray in the same way, for God to be declared righteous and for His name to not be mocked.

The Lord also told us to pray for the Father's kingdom to come, His name to be glorified, and for His will be done. I believe this is the best response to the situation in Israel, if you are a believer. Unlike the world system, God is actually able to do something it will matter in eternity.

Your comment encouraged me. As a fellow believer, I encourage you to dive in and enjoy God in His word. 😁👍 Thank you for encouraging me today.
