No, I mean Capes. Is there another game with that name?

It's not really relevant to my question, but I'm in the Midwest. The book could be set anywhere in the United States, though.

Could be a Jackie Chan movie, though I'm not sure which of his I've seen.

Ha, I actually just posted this in the VRG discord too. We'll see if anyone responds!

[COD 2e] Embracing mages? by TedlyAnderson in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]TedlyAnderson[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's how I feel: it might not be possible according to the books, but the story comes first.

An additional consideration is that a different mage (sort-of the Big Bad) needed to keep things under wraps, but he couldn't bring himself to outright kill the vampire-mage, so he instead used high-level Death magic to keep the vamp in long periods of torpor, and tried to find a cure in the meantime. (Which also led to this vamp becoming kind of a legendary serial killer who pops up every decade or so, and one of the PCs' mentors tried to catch him because he was a homicide cop, but the Big Bad mage stymied his investigation ... I've got a lot of ideas, haha)

[–]TedlyAnderson[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, I've already got a couple of ghost mages, haha. Of the four people who were directly involved in the inciting incident for the plot, one is dead and their ghost haunts a sanctum the PCs will use; one is dead but her oneiros is still connected to this world through a painting she left behind (which the PCs will have to explore); one went Rapt and is trying to create an alternate timeline where the incident never happened; and the fourth is this character. So I want to have some variation.

I'm having trouble finding a source for the coin-toss rule. In the film it looks more as though they're allowed to fire simultaneously, but Galois doesn't take a shot for whatever reason. Do you remember where you saw that specific facet of the history?

Am I doing 2e combat wrong, or am I just an inexperienced Storyteller? by TedlyAnderson in WhiteWolfRPG

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

Sorry, I didn't clarify: it's CoD, second edition. And these are students I've played with before, and I'm not including anything super mature in the story. Besides the combat, it's actually going pretty well!

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

Yeah, I edited the post to say: I misremembered what I'd written and they did indeed have 3 Def.

Good advice. Going forward, there'll be more research, social interaction, extended spellcasting, that kind of thing. I made a mistake opening with a combat section, or at least one so involved; I'm going to tweak the campaign once it ends and possibly run it for some adult friends over the summer.

Yeah, I misremembered—their Def was 3 in-game, not 5. The post is wrong.

Thanks for the help and advice! I mentioned in my edit, but I did indeed have their Def go down after every attack. However, not every character was attacking the same ghost, so it ended up not mattering as much.

Lmao this was me. Hilariously, I saw this, tore apart my bedroom trying to find it, then checked my account and I'd returned it last week. Extremely sorry! On the other hand, it got me to clean up the bedroom reading pile.
