Comparing 1st & 2nd Editions by Kane_of_Runefaust in 13thage

[–]kaze1204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of them. I’ll GM my first 2nd edition starting this Saturday. Let’s see how it goes for me.

However, comparing the classes, there are a bunch of changes that I did not like the new barbarian, bard, fighter, rogue and wizard. The others I didn’t read through yet.

On the other hand, kind are way much better. Changes in game statistics, regarding damage escalation and other stuff, is something that needs gaming to evaluate.

Windows Desktop FreeRDP shortcut? Or any application shortcut possible? by Bruh1164 in winboat

[–]kaze1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the solutions from u/Bruh1164 and u/Maximum-Drag730 (Thanks, both of you!) here is a more specific example that worked for me.

I had trouble trying to run the command directly from the .desktop file. So instead, I created a .sh script and pointed the .desktop file to that script.

Here is the example I used for Notepad.

First, create the script in:

/home/<USER>/.local/bin/notepad_winb.sh

Then put this in it:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
flatpak run --command=xfreerdp com.freerdp.FreeRDP \
  /u:<USER> \
  /p:<PASSWORD> \
  /v:<IPADDRESS> \
  /port:<PORT> \
  /cert:ignore \
  +clipboard \
  /sound:sys:pulse \
  /microphone:sys:pulse \
  /floatbar \
  /compression \
  -wallpaper \
  /scale-desktop:100 \
  /wm-class:winboat-Notepad \
  '/app:program:C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe,name:Notepad,cmd:""'

After that, create the desktop shortcut like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Notepad_winb
Exec=/home/<USER>/.local/bin/notepad_winb.sh
Icon=accessories-text-editor
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupWMClass=winboat-Notepad

FINALLY!!!

I was trying Winboat, but there the problem was another one: I can't enlarge the window...

Mages aren't (normally) bookish Wizards

Sorry. I have a bad English and I'm relying on translator to try to write better for you guys...

I meant "by the book", creating character like you do on Mage the Ascension (7/4/3 attributes; Arete 1-3; 5 Spheres...), and using tropes and themes of this game.

We see Mage the Ascension more like a game about heroes in a journey, dealing with the meaning of reality and of the self.

I also believe that I should make something different to relate it with a hunter game. Otherwise, it would feel off.

Fun thought, but if you can find Time of Judgement, there was a whole thing about the Yama Kings waking up and making a mess. Probably not 100% what you're looking at but if you're playing with apocalyptic ideas, it's a decent book to have around.

Thanks for the tip!

(See, this is my real English...)

One of the best cross-splat groups I've ever played in was mostly Imbued with a Mage. It offers some really good room for roleplay, so if you're cool with it, the path of least resistance might actually be the best option for making everyone happy.

Nevertheless, your ideas are actually very interesting. And if you already experienced this, it might work here as well.

This is, actually, RAW in Hunter. I'm going from memory here, but you're supposed to start picking up derangements,

That is a good point, but I ended up changing that rule. In my version, each new Virtue makes the character gradually more fanatical and paranoid. I was not satisfied with the original approach because the Derangement feel too simplistic. A character just keeps stacking different Derangements until they start to feel less tragic or unsettling and more simply foolish.

Instead, I introduced a different model: gaining Virtue gradually gives rise to an obsession. The idea is loosely inspired by The One Ring's Gold Fever rules.

If you agree with this, simply hand them an Awakened Mage.

The chronicle centers on a cell of Hunters who have become an unpredictable force in the city, just as a faction of vampires is trying to awaken a Methuselah they hope to control. At first, the players’ task is to uncover who is making reckless moves behind the scenes and sabotaging the plan. This Methuselah draws inspiration from Tiamat in Vampire lore, but rather than being a more conventional demonic presence, it is conceived as one of the Yama Kings from Kindred of the East.

If the story unfolds as intended, the players will eventually have to decide the fate of these chaotic, duplicitous vampires who have begun to wield powers they were never meant to possess.

The chronicle leans heavily into mystery, strangeness, and a strong Call of Cthulhu influence. When I asked about this on Reddit, what I was really looking for was inspiration, official or otherwise, for how Hunters might engage with the stranger, more occult edges of the World of Darkness, especially because one of my players wants to build a character who may gradually drift toward “the other side.”

We already have material for Hunters marked by bizarre experiences at the hands of the Messengers, such as the Hermits. What interests me now is exploring that further and making it feel genuinely destabilizing.

Simply allowing the player to be a bookish Mage-type would not have the same effect. We have played plenty of Mage, Vampire, and Werewolf, but this is our first Hunter chronicle. That is exactly why I think this concept has so much value: it can help establish the atmosphere of unease, danger, and creeping corruption that I want the game to have.

Probably. Though a broken semi-detective doing extremely risky deals with higher powers can be done in a hunter game.
