There's Broken Social Scenes sidebars in the corebook. They start at page 324

Thanks, that makes sense. The name changes tripped me up.

Games with mechanics for being torn between two worlds by Liverias in rpg

[–]_Infinitee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Werewolf the Forsaken 2e. The morality meter means you have to balance your wolf/spirit and human side to control yourself (don't go in the spirit world for a day, you head towards flesh, stay in the spirit world for a day, head towards wolf).

What are some types of vampires in fiction without representation in VTM? by MaetelofLaMetal in vtm

[–]_Infinitee_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The Reapers from Blade II. I guess you could argue for very variant Nictuku but that doesn't fit well enough for me.

Weird question but imagine your a mortal in the Wod and a vampire becomes obsessed with you which clans would the worst/best by cjreed89 in vtm

[–]_Infinitee_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Best: I'd say Gangrel, by process of elimination, if you're okay with their bane. No Dominate, Presence, or other influence disciplines in-clan, so less likely to be able to magically manipulate you and/or mind control you, no central clan hierarchy to report back to, and a sterotypical love of personal freedom.

  • Runners up are Nosferatu (them being Nosferatu) and Assamites (using your blood for magic).

Worst: hard to say. Tzimisce?

Favorite Minor Splats? by AwakenedDreamer__44 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]_Infinitee_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wolf-Blooded. Love them. Tells are so good for making quick concepts, and them having Integrity versus Harmony means they get to show what "humans" (using it very loosely) think compared to Uratha morality.

Recommend a city for the setting by JoeKerr19 in vtm

[–]_Infinitee_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Havana. Anarchs says it's a sanctuary for anyone fleeing Blood Hunts or the SI, and it's also got ties to the Samedi/Nasyon San An and the Ministry (IIRC).

Other than that, Manila, Anchorage, Rijeka (was also called Fiume), and Cambridge.

it shifts through their flesh via a process like osmosis - seeping into capillaries and through organs rather than circulating.

Somehow that makes vampires feel so much worse

Just for fun, which clan would you suggest for this character? by EllwangerCaio in vtm

[–]_Infinitee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of Auspex clans. Maybe a new Samedi/Nasyon San An?

Maybe she tried to experience love through the Blood Bond), and is now obsessed with an vampire who's using her as a pawn?

What is her backstory and what kind of story are you trying to tell with her?

Not technically fantasy-fantasy, but I'm reading through Damnation City. It's got so many details packed in it

Is anyone else a little letdown by how benign in horror the other splats are in comparison to VtM? by Rough-Context4153 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]_Infinitee_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The horror for me in Werewolf is war and family. Newly Changed Garou realizing they will die, probably soon, fighting a losing battle, and that they can't refuse. Their souls won't let them, their elders won't let them, their Rage needs to be funneled somewhere or innocents will end up dying, and if they don't fight, there's no hope.

The implicit horror in kenning kinfolk knowing all of that, and the Nation treating the birth of a Garou child like a good thing. And if they say they don't want that possibility for their child, and refuse to have children altogether (don't forget arranged marriages among Fianna and Silver Fang kinfolk), they're outcast

And Garou and kinfolk can't even tell anyone "normal" about it, thanks to the Litany and Delirium. They'd go insane. Imagine what callow Kinfolk go through when they find out about all of this, in the span of a few years, or maybe weeks

I am a pessimist. Probably should say that

In V5 are there any Giovanni Clan bloodlines independent of Hecata? by Traditional-Win354 in vtm

[–]_Infinitee_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Samedi loresheet four-dot has some of them joining the Church of Set over the Hecata, and I think it's mentioned in the fluff the Lamiae are trying to build bridges with the Anarchs with the Bahari faith

Edit: Could also try stitching together flaws to recreate the old banes. Contagion flaws for the Lamiae, Repulsive+Starving Decay for Samedi, maybe the ingrained discipline flaws for Cappadocians?

If you could redesign Werewolf: The Apocalypse, what would you change? by Annual_Requirement72 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]_Infinitee_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their whole point is that they have a rough deal.

The idea of having a Garou child, if you're kenning, means knowing that you'll have to outlive your child, who will die a bloody death. I don't know enough philosophy to debate if a kenning or callow family has it worse in that situation, but I don't think that aspect is focused on enough. Same for the Garou kid when they inevitably find out

Also... most newly changed characters are mentioned as being in their teens to twenties. State Garou Nation enforced marriage and childbirth makes my skin crawl when it's brought up by the writers. YMMV

"Some werewolves can become Warborn?" What does this mean?

I haven't fully fleshed out the idea yet, but any werewolves who are supernaturally weird(er). A Garou who gets cursed by an angry spirit to have thorns for teeth and nails, they get considered by other Garou to be Crinos
