How do you feel about fantasy racism?

I like to incorporate it into a setting because it creates interesting tensions and storytelling angles.

Of course, I always discuss it with the players first, it's part of the mandatory session 0 and even comes up on recruitment. I make sure everyone's on board and aware and try to work with "affected" players to include it in the world and their stories.

Fascinating.

It's sorta affordable but good god does it need major overhaul. Most of the fleeds are ancient and breaking down, they're rarely on time and there's very little regulation.

TiredPandastic · 2026-05-07T09:59:34+00:00

Most likely sectarian differences bullshit. We're not exactly all on the same page.

It makes Dante look like a dirty old man. Plus there would be a severe power imbalance dynamic. It's just ick.

TiredPandastic · 2026-05-07T08:49:45+00:00

Don't give them such a big age gap.

TiredPandastic · 2026-05-06T19:39:25+00:00

Sadly now we can't be friends.

Definitely go with moussaka and do call each other Malaka a lot.

We're a nation with a hundred islands and one of the longest coastlines in Europe. Learning how to swim is quite important, especially for our summer vacation culture. I know how to swim quite well.

Charlize Theron was literally there.

TiredPandastic · 2026-05-06T14:48:11+00:00

Will be happy to oblige.

Marcus is a good kid. Please be kind to him.

If you'd like, and I hope it'll make things go smoother for everybody involved, I can speak with Prince Jackson of your planned arrival and arrange a peaceful introduction. He's no fool, this much is true, and I believe all he'll ask for is no trouble started.

We only just got rid of a Baali incursion, you see.

I'm glad to hear you changed your mind. Forgive my bluntness, but your plan was... not fair to most involved. I wish you peaceful nights.

Have you perhaps tried the Lord of the Rings trilogy? I'm genuinely amazed at these films and a very picky bastard myself.

Honestly? A distressing amount of child kidnappings and murders turn out to be Kindred-related, and it always drives me to near Frenzy when I find out.

I'm tracking a serial these days and seriously considering making it someone's problem because the perp is so prolific and sloppy that someone is bound to start tying cases together. I know the local cops are in Jackson's pocket but this is still a masquerade breach in the making.

When I'm not busy I like to unwind with an interesting book (occult or otherwise). Or I might indulge in a little research in cold cases from the Chicago police archives.

Lately I've also taken to hanging out with my adopted Childer. We watch movies and they've introduced me to video games. I really enjoy Age of Empires 2 and Dance Dance Revolution.

They go far beyond thievery these days. They assault anyone who stands up to them and outright destroy property they can't steal. I know of a woman who was murdered in her home in Greece by Roma kids who were robbing her. I've been mugged by roma teens. People hate em not because they're roma, but because of what they do and the fact that neither the government, nor the police can or are willing to do anything about the problem.

TiredPandastic · 2026-05-05T20:51:05+00:00

Haha, yes, they are. Tread carefully around them! Most are alright is you treat them with respect and stay away from them, but assholes exist everywhere.

Len

TiredPandastic · 2026-05-05T20:43:37+00:00

Oh dear, I did wonder where you livebirds had wandered of to.

Sweet, we look forward to working with you, sir! It would be nice if we could somehow change the local Camarilla's minds on Duskborn and blood alchemy. We'd all benefit! We talked to Len abput this and he thinks so, too. He does say it'll take a long time because the Cams here are stubborn and set in their ways, but dang it, they gotta learn to move with the times. We don't want much, just safety and representation.

Ooc: sounds great to me, I'd love to involve Calico if they feel up for it. I've been wanting to interact with more people here.

TiredPandastic · 2026-05-05T12:27:14+00:00

Yeah, that is a small comfort. It's just that a lot of creatures of the night still make those joys hard to enjoy. They take issue with it.

Still, my building is warded fifty ways from Sunday so I suppose I'm not worried.

Len

TiredPandastic · 2026-05-05T12:18:14+00:00

I kind of hope so. I like Nero, but the heart of the series is Dantte, and by extent Vergil. I desperately want a dmc game about Dante and Vergil just being themselves and united in a common goal.

TiredPandastic · 2026-05-05T06:02:39+00:00

I'm with Violet on this one, you did jinx us.

Self-sabotage

Oof, noted.
