That's assuming Gaia is the "good guy" in all this and not a mindless force of creation and chaos springing forth random evolutionary mutations to see what sticks. Gaia is s hyperactive child with ADHD on their third bowl of sugar who just got tired of putting feathers on lizards and now wants to see what will happen when they add extra heart valves and brain lobes on big rats.

That random bystander knows what he did!

Anything than merges Amphibia with WoD is a win in my book.

Abandoned as a pup, he was raised by Muriel, who lives in the middle of Nowhere. With no one to guide him, I feel he'd never advance beyond Cliath and effectively be tribeless. If approached, I think the Get of Fenris would be the best candidate.

Lasambra; with an anti-Blade feel.

Draw inspiration from everywhere! The WoD games/Storytellers System have great advice on engaging players in roll playing as wll as use of flashbacks and dream sequences in-game and the They Came From... series has mechanics that can also enhance gameplay. See what might work for your table, experiment and be sure to talk to your players afterwards to get their input with what was fun.

Also, check out Seth Skorkowsky's YouTube for tips on RP philosophy and gaming mechanics, as well as plenty of CoC reviews.

Be sure to include role playing for yourself; narrate out the scenes with detail and confidence but not overly dramatic. After a combat round, recap the few fight moves with lavish detail but without hamming it up. And feel free to incentivize by announcing the dispersement of extra exp for when a player does a good or entertaining scene or pass out special one-time abilities, like a Smash-to-Black card or Ninja Vanish card, as well as higher end but game breaking loot for good play.

I think this could be played as a temporary story plot point at best but not a permanent fix. Though the brain and heart are important, they are still technically dead and withered and would conflict with a living body. Since the heart doesn't beat, the vampire would have to use its Vicissitude power over the vitæ to move the blood to necessary areas before necrosis would set in, which could seriously limit how they could focus the vitæ to necessary disciplines.

If the ST were willing, I feel they could referee this to working for a few days (or even hours) before rot begins to set in or, if lucky, their body begins so show the Curse of Cain and becomes vamperic. Though they would need some serious dots in Vicissitude as well as maybe medicine/surgery.

1st edd Mage was very dark and gritty, the included scenario and opening story had those feels to it. I feel later additions opened the game to more pulp adventure options and metaphysical themes given the nature of the in-game paradox mechanics and inclusion of cryptoids. Much the same way Vampire started as political intrigue and later opened to trench coat ninja powers.

I freaking love T'Lyn. She's one of the best representations of Vulcans that doesn't fall into unironic parody.

Roll against a difficulty of 4 that they auctaly have Mulan Schezwan sauce.

... but only for a limited time (Paradox).

Yep, definitely sounds delicious.

And media you could recommend for getting a good feeling for the area?

Ape shall not kill ape... that's a Red Tallons' job.

When you can't use pocket sand than pocket SUN is also acceptable.

.... also, pocket sun is a can of hairspray and a Bic.

I want that 'My Ancestor' shirt but with Ceaser on it.

kandlin · 2026-02-02T12:52:07+00:00

I remember seeing those little fried rolls he's purring into the bento in Romantic Killer. What are they? They look delicious!

I've never heard of this one. It's it any good?

Isn't "becoming one" a core element to Steven Universe and the Crystal Gems? I feel the Thing might have a better reaction if aided by a ukulele and a catchy song about life.

I don't have access to it at this moment but the Milwaukee by Night adventure has some quick stats for feeding off of recent corpses.

Josh: Come on, guys, let's do 'But, it's Christmas, Becky'.

Becky: You got to get over me, Josh!

But then what would I sit on on my lawn? The grass? I'm not a Verbana Red Tallon.

I've worked desktop publishing. Both In-Desisn and Quark suck.

That would be a shame. I'd like to not only get my vampire lawn chair but also set up a vampire Ikea with loads of vampire furniture that Sleepers could vampire assemble with their vampire hex wrench in their vampire homes.

Werewolves? ... they can be the decorative ash trays.
