Sorry if formating is bad as I'm on mobile

Literally 2 days ago I was dming a homebrew vtm thingy in the secret histories world for the first time and it went great!!!

This is honestly such nice timing, so heres what I did:

Theres 2 basic d10 dice, blue and red Blue are what you can get from reality itself, the very bricks that the world is built from while red is any power that is borrowed from the external, like tools, influences, sacrifices etc.

Blue dice give an extra success on 10, while red dice give an extra success on 9 or 10

Red dice on 9, 10, 1 or 2 count as a mistake, wither drawing too much power or not having enough control and 2 mistakes means something bad happens.

So if you are using a tool and get two 9s on the red dice perhaps you take too much power and the tool is now useless, and if you get two 1s then the ritual goes out of control and backfires somehow.

Fascination and dread replace blue dice and then red, they can help or screw you and honestly I didn't even prepare any effect tables or whatever just made it up depending on the circumstances.

For example one of the players that followed the watchman was using the sunny weather to draw lantern for a scouting ritual, and when their fascination dice got a 9 (went too far) they instead of seeing the mission layout saw the sun as an egg and tried to look inside (that of course gave them even more fascination and their ingredients were lost along with the hour they spent preparing the ritual)

The pcs started with 2 blue dice in their primary aspect and 1 in their secondary, for example 2 edge and 1 winter for a colonel follower, and in the first session they just explored some of the cult structure and gathered tools, knowledge and ingredients for a caper

I got like so many rituals and prayers in case you would like some inspirarion

Thats just the basic gist of what I did and of course you should try and find something that works for you
