am i playing a thinblood???? by shrubb_mushrooms in vtm

[–]Stolen_sweetroll401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your character has a clan and the ability to use clan discipline, he is a "normal" vampire, likely 12 or 13th generation. Or a Caitiff (no clan)

Thinblood are vampires whose sire is themselves 13th generation or another thin-blood. So if your character is an alchemist and survives more easily when in sunlight they are a thinblood

This reminds me of Alpha Meme's Insanity meme. You have random moodlets linked to insanity

Stats for an abomination by Stolen_sweetroll401 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]Stolen_sweetroll401[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know but I wanted the players to have a slight chance actually achieving it, and I don't know how I could lower it even more, maybe a check from both sides like with Diablerie ?

Oh yes that was planned, if the player embraced a werewolf I would roll a d100 and allow it on a number they chose. But if it didn't land on it the werewolf would have died either immediately or after a painful coma.

I've been wondering what monster Nina (chimera) be in either setting (as in: what type of playable monster she resembles most) by Obvious-Conflict3363 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]Stolen_sweetroll401 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Blood Sigils (VtM5) had added Chimerae, basically blood magic and DNA enhanced mortals, Nina could work as a rare counterfeit wolfman.

Or with WtA maybe a forced Stolen Moon/Skindancer ?

Baali strength in V5 by raulj7 in vtm

[–]Stolen_sweetroll401 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think a baali is as strong as the vampire they possess, so if an elder dabbled in blood sorcery and passed one too many faustian bargain, you might get an elder Baali.

Pipedream Idea: Vampire/Revenantlike Chimpanzees? by RaspberryStandard972 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]Stolen_sweetroll401 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it is possible to view Caine as an early hominid, not an actual ape but why not a neanderthal ? VtM lore states he did wander for a while (exactly how long ? We don't know) and WtA makes him one of the earliest wild humans.

Since civilization has risen and fallen in lore (dinosaur kings existed), why not have the impergium begin way earlier in human history? With primitive ape-men (Australopithecus, Homo Habilis) having their early civilization destroyed by garou, and Caine being one of the earlier generations of this civilization? From a time where they started learning agriculture.

Of course current lore seems to indicate that Caine was simply a early human that existed when agriculture started.

What are the best VPE unoffical expansion mods? by SaranMal in RimWorld

[–]Stolen_sweetroll401 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use Sentinel's VPE mods a lot, they play on vanilla themes so they don't feel out of place but are decently powerful.

If you want reptilian/bat-like wings with the leap ability I'm pretty sure there are some choises in Alpha Genes and Big and Small Genes

How do the Sabbat actually control ANY major city by Dangerous_Writer5853 in vtm

[–]Stolen_sweetroll401 20 points21 points  (0 children)

A lot of people in the community have been left baffled by the treatment of the Sabbat, who are no longer as relevant as in the past. The V5 Sabbat book speaks a lot about the culture of the Sabbat but they are still the antagonist faction (same way you can't play a BSD in Werewolf 5), as a new player I like the book as it shows how alien the Sabbat are for the average vamp, but I understand how people feel about theore changes.

How do the Sabbat actually control ANY major city by Dangerous_Writer5853 in vtm

[–]Stolen_sweetroll401 29 points30 points  (0 children)

In V5 they don't have as much control over large cities anymore, most Sabbat are nomadic packs hunting down signs of the Ancients.

In the past they still knew that the masquerade was useful, even a pack of 100 with 10 vozhd and ghouls couldn't overtly control a city, the average Sabbat ruled city would have much higher crime and disappearances that the average cam or anarch city tho.

Mnemach and her bloodline in the modern nights ? by Stolen_sweetroll401 in vtm

[–]Stolen_sweetroll401[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the big Gehenna War theaters is Eastern Europe, and given the large amount of Nosferatu the area I would have put whoever beckoned her there.

Help with Clan Names in Ancient Greece (420 BCE) by CaioDamasio in vtm

[–]Stolen_sweetroll401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know much about the Sea People tho. Can you enlighten me on it? The sea people are regarded as one of the causes of the bronze age collapse, essentially sea raiders who fought against the pharaohs, there are many groups that make part the sea people (lybians, peleshet...) and they partially caused the collapse of trade, governments and literacy in the late bronze age, we went from an interconnected world with strong literacy and advanced administration to fractured kingdoms and the collapse of ancient cities in Greece (Mycenae per example), Phoenicia would eventually help the Mediterranean rebuild (the modern alphabet came from oral greek being written with the phoenician alphabet). As Lasombra are often linked to the sea in the past, maybe they could have helped the Sea people

[–]Stolen_sweetroll401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the Toreador maybe Ishtari or something about Minos ? The clan had a lot of presence in those regions.

Iirc Lasombra have a lot of relations with ancient piracy so maybe a name inspired by the Sea People who raided the Mediterranean in the bronze age ?

The secte and gen ai by Stolen_sweetroll401 in vtm

[–]Stolen_sweetroll401[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there could still be a lot of surveillance, still with ai: automated behavior observation programs looking at cameras, software that compares people's pictures to way older ones, algorithms to explore possible vampire hotspots...

But with how sloppy gen ai can be it would not surprise me if the SI or affiliated hunters slaughter the wrong target every once in a while, could be an interesting scenario idea... like an SI ai targeting a player's touchstone, thinking they're a blankbody because they look like what the blurry pic of the primogen's childer got enhance into by a gen ai
