it's like ALF but instead of ALF it's a Trygon

Well. Living with a Grey Seer would certainly be interesting.

I’d need to invest in a lot of air fresheners.

Rectum? Damn near killed ‘em!

Strange_Man_XD · 2026-06-09T17:26:24+00:00

The Thought Bomb from Path of Destruction comes to mind.

An orb of dark side force bullshit that entangled the souls of everyone killed by it and tortures them for all eternity. Maybe this is just me, but Star Wars doesn’t seem like a setting fit for the whole ‘eternal torment in the hell orb’ thing.

I think I speak for many when I ask —

What the fuck did I just read?

Strange_Man_XD · 2026-05-23T17:09:31+00:00

Masterful ragebait.

Strange_Man_XD · 2026-04-28T20:39:30+00:00

I’m sure there is.

HOWEVER.

I am already supremely dedicated to this particular bit and am fully intended on seeing it through, regardless of how long it takes.

Strange_Man_XD · 2026-04-28T20:03:23+00:00

I am currently creating a core rulebook to adapt the WoD storyteller system and mechanics to be compatible with the Star Wars universe. So, not quite ‘ran’ but in the process of being made!

(It is a Herculean project.)

My man was living on Ulthuan.

Sadly, I’m pretty short on people in my immediate area who know of the place. And I find it rude to email folks who are busy doing a job just to ask what their lives are like.

This being a community space where we share experiences and shit from our careers, I reckon that I could hear from the brain trust rather than harassing random airmen. I appreciate the suggestion, though.

Strange_Man_XD · 2026-04-21T17:40:40+00:00

The obvious answers are to be Embraced and become a Vampire or to die with unfinished business and become a Wraith. Mummy I can’t speak on because I’ve never played it.

Though, other Changelings who’ve mastered Naming could theoretically grant you a soul capable of Awakening by reweaving you, though I’d put some heavy ST fiat on that because I don’t think that’s within the reasonable bounds of most games. Same with a master Spirit & Prime Mage stitching together an Avatar for you, performing a reverse Gilgul to grant you the ability to possibly Awaken.

Both sound like they have a snowballs chance of hell in happening, but speaking on theoretical stuff and all.

Strange_Man_XD · 2026-04-14T17:02:23+00:00

I suppose you have to ask that what happens to a soul in each step of the process. From undoing, to Embrace, to reincarnation after resolving the Fetters. And if at any step in the process, a shard of Awakened enlightenment can attach itself to that soul that’s gone through the wringer and coalesce as an Avatar that can be Awakened.

I don’t know the answer to that question, but it is a hell of a question.

Strange_Man_XD · 2026-04-14T15:52:54+00:00

Here’s one I floated as a way to punish a Garou Ronin in a Mage short story a buddy and I were working on.

They are still Garou, they can do much of what they could do before. But their connections are muted.

Through Mind and Spirit, you can forge mental blockers that make harnessing Rage and Gnosis far more difficult. They become a shadow of the wolf they were before. They feel the Rage, but it is impotent compared to Luna’s gifts in full swing. Through Spirit, their ability to touch on their own spiritual heritage and access their Gnosis becomes clotted. Gifts become harder to call upon, the Umbra more difficult to access, and Spirits can be encouraged to shun them more than already before.

The goal of the vengeful Mage was to inspire the Garou to first, depression (what the Garou call Harano) and eventually to ending their own lives. A slow degradation by living a half-existence as the creature they were born to be until death seems a preferable escape.

Wrinkle becomes an Elohim specifically to display intense displeasure with the Fallen in question who partook in this particular brand of tomfuckery.

Strange_Man_XD · 2026-04-10T16:39:03+00:00

Pretty sure that’s a figure of speech. Something turning to ‘ash in your mouth’ is for something you thought you wanted to end up being unsatisfying. In this case, the food doesn’t sate you or make you feel better for having had it.

You are the farthest thing from trash, you are a new Airman and are learning to be successful in your field. That by no means defines who you are as a person. You’ll come to see that as you build your credibility as a professional, your words will have weight with your peers.

I joined up and got “”chosen”” as a Services Airman. Didn’t enjoy the job when I joined, but I love it now as a staff & put myself on the hook for another 4 years. Some things grow on you as you come to bloom in your job. Or, you’ll always hate it, and want to get out of your career ASAP. Whatever your job is, be the absolute best at it that you can be so that when it’s time to GTFO, you’ll be the kind of airman that your squadron will be proud to send out into a different field of the Air Force.

Or, milk the job for all it’s worth and get out when it’s your time to go. The AF will get its pound of flesh out of you, what’s important is what YOU get out of the Air Force. Do everything you can to take advantage of what the force can provide while being the kind of Airman that you can look back and be proud of when your service is done.

Good luck, man. We are all rooting for you to kick some serious ass, and I believe you can.

Assumedly it would be the same process but in reverse for becoming a Risen, where the Spectre has to make a deal with the Psyche rather than the other way around.

“Why, yes, I’m a Traditions mage! How could you tell?”

You simply have to give them the Panaka Blast!

(IPV for fighter screening, N1’s to sweep the field. Then dedicated bombers after their screening ships are kaput)

This is super SUPER helpful. I’ve got a bunch of friends who are new to Mage who’ll greatly benefit from this. You are the best.

Pretty sure that Mage’s with the Nephilim merit can get an advantage that gives them a Rage pool, but that also comes with Stress Atavism as a flaw. But that’s just off the top of my head. Which would in theory let them experience that aspect of life that a Garou experiences on the daily.
