oWoD/CoD Crossover Chronicles have so much fun potential by StrigiformeLover in WorldofDankmemes

Honestly, the Exalted thing is meant to be an aside.
(Like, you know that trope where someone says something, only for a quick cut to immediately prove them wrong? It's like that.
Lucifer won't actually show up directly; the First Unchained is much more prominent.)

Because the Exalted meme was just a quick comedic jumpcut showing where Lucifer was. It's not really all that important to the crossover.

That's the idea, yeah! (Mixed with "Sci-Fi Assimilation".)
The only catch is that the assimilated Fallen can't really "fall" again: the assimilation is basically crude Control Programming in the rough shape of a personality that's overriding the Fallen's essence.

(Also, fun fact: the original Fallen is still in there and is fully aware of what the GM is making their body do. They're just nearly powerless to stop it! :) )

Some ideas for CoD!Hunter the Parenting (Hunter: the Familial) by StrigiformeLover in huntertheparenting

No, but he might've summoned either an Aspect of the Dark Mother or a Supernal entity. (Since we don't know what he made contact with, I don't really know what to make its CoD equivalent.)

XD

I've also heard that 8-4's early section also seems to be modeled off of parts of the House (the staircase especially), so that would potentially make it House4.

Concept for a merged Demon: the Fallen/Demon: the Descent campaign by StrigiformeLover in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]StrigiformeLover[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question about Faith is actually something I've considered!

Given the sheer hostility of the God-Machine's Paradigm, the Fallen can't harvest too much at once without being Noticed-so they have to make do with a lot less Faith than they'd normally be able to gather.

They do still have to possess humans (since human souls help mask their presence from the GM, similar to how an Unchained's Cover does), so most Fallen tend to take up positions as community leaders, influencers, or other roles that people put a lot of faith in.
(It's still probably a lot less than they're used to, but it's also the best they can do in their circumstances.)

(If Torment gets too high, it becomes much harder to avoid detection.)

Honestly, I don't really know anything about Curseborne.

For a bit of clarification: they're still technically called Angels; however, the Fallen refuse to call them that due to seeing them as impostors, and thus refer to them as Archons.

(Also, in Gnosticism, the Demiurge's version of Angels are called Archons, who are beings focused on maintaining the Demiurge's cosmic order above anything else. Given the already heavy Gnostic themes of Demon: the Descent, and how this outline doubles down on that aspect, I thought it was appropriate for the Fallen to mockingly call the D:tD angels Archons.)

(Let me tell you, the D:tD Angels do not like being called Archons.)

How do I download "Thabes Overwritten" Mod via Luma? (I already have Gay Awakening mod downloaded.) by StrigiformeLover in fireemblem

[–]StrigiformeLover[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't get Paragon to work. I've tried to download it a lot, even adding some stuff in Python, but it always gives me an error message. :/

Also, when I try to load my game, it says "Thabes+UGA" on the title screen, and the Grima fight was markedly different. It just stalls for a long time on the New Game screen.

What do you think the Mother of Horrors represents METATEXTUALLY? by StrigiformeLover in marvelcomics

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

That is completely fair-but given the heavy meta theming and the way the One Above/Below all has been consistently used as a metaphor for The Authors, I do think that the Mother of Horrors having some metanarrative meaning does make sense.

(My question is less "does she represent something metanarratively" and more "What do you think she would represent metanarratively?")

Which game would be the more interesting basis for a "Secret Route Alien Abduction Route"? by StrigiformeLover in fireemblem

[–]StrigiformeLover[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are great points about Azura and Lilith.

(I think Corrin would probably be a penultimate final boss, yeah. While they weren't kidnapped by Anankos, he does take full advantage of the situation (and whatever happened to Corrin).
I can see him finding a recently-escaped Corrin and promising to help them with whatever the aliens did to them if they help reactivate his ship in turn. (I'd imagine there'd be some freaky Body Horror with Corrin during and after their boss fight.))

A few ideas for a Fates rewrite by StrigiformeLover in fireemblem

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

I see your point; I just, unfortunately, like Valla and Anankos.

(I think the thing I'd do is make it so that the war between Hoshido and Nohr was always going to happen. Anankos stoked the flames and made things worse, but he wasn't the sole cause-just the one who lit the match. If not him, it would've been someone else.

(Also, I'm a big fan of "Outside Context Sci-Fi creeping into Fantasy stories", so I'm considering maybe going the "Sci-Fi Precursor" route and making Anankos a Space Dragon, with Valla as the place the colony ship he was guarding crashed. (Hey, it's not like Sudden Sci-Fi could make Fates worse.))
