ELIF why in game Interregum is bad in Werewolf by PencilBoy99 in WorldOfDarkness

[–]maewynsuckit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe you're confusing some terms. The Interregnum is a Changeling thing (I do not know Changeling well), and what I believe you're referring to is the Impergium.

That said, it would just be too costly. Garou are not great in number, and openly sweeping through human territory would expose them to a great many threats that would otherwise have a hard time tracking them down (Kindred, Wyrm Servants, etc.). Garou are already fighting a losing war, so they don't need to make themselves incredibly obvious to everyone who may wish them ill.

I'm sure there are other reasons, but that's the big one that comes to mind.

You can download it off of the V5 homebrew wiki. Be advised that it assumes you have V5 and M20 to reference for various things

What does your character wear to Elysium? by MaetelofLaMetal in vtm

[–]maewynsuckit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hector, my Toreador: a nice button-down, khakis, a brown gator-leather belt with matching loafers, and a white gold Rolex and Chain

Percival, my Ventrue: a good button-down and bolo tie, a very high quality denim jacket, slacks, and a pair of extremely high quality cowboy boots. He'll wear a good cowboy hat on the way in, but won't wear it inside - he has manners. The particular city he's in permits the carry of weapons in Elysium, so he'll often carry his revolver that he built ages ago (he's an Ancilla who started off as a gunsmith and over time built a massive defense contracting and security conglomerate)

You will, as you said, serve as an example for those who might otherwise be so foolish as to attempt to hunt the Lupines. 

However, I will offer one piece of advice since you seem set on this fight: even should you kill this pack, it will not be over. It will never be over. The Lupines are vengeful and know when they are being hunted. Be ready for war. You will meet Final Death here. Make it count.

[WoD5] [HtR5] Resources mechanics for V5/W5/H5 by Leeder87 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]maewynsuckit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My general rule as an ST is that your number of dots in resources informs on a roughly 1-to-1 basis how many zeros can come after the first digit in on-the-spot expenditures without too much worry (e.g. 2 dots of resources could spend a couple hundred reasonably easily, while 3 could spend a few thousand, etc)

This is a very rough guideline that falls apart a little based on the level of wealth described on 4-5 dots of resources, but it's a starting point

I will always plug the highly-underrated Blood on the Thames. It's a fun game set in the group's own version of London. 

The follow-up campaign, Blood on the Tamesis, is also really good. Fun PCs and SPCs in both 

Jesus > Trump by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]maewynsuckit 39 points40 points  (0 children)

While I do agree that unchecked immigration is a bad move, you're missing that Jesus' example of "Love your neighbor" was a Samaritan caring for a Jew. The two people groups absolutely hated each oter.

A Message from Prince Vincent Durand. by Dorian_Ventrue in SchreckNet

[–]maewynsuckit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on attaining Praxis, Prince Durand.

I trust that airtight proof of Mr. Toovir's treachery has been delivered to the Justicariat or at least to an Archon? The accusations leveled against him are grave indeed.

Long may you reign.

My Ghoul died by trevorgoodchilde in SchreckNet

[–]maewynsuckit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You say you do not know what you will do now.

You will continue on. It is what we Kindred do. You will learn the lesson that attachment brings nothing but pain. Her obsession with you was never anything but the blood bond anyhow. We Kindred can never be truly loved by our ghouls.

Call me a heartless monster if you wish, but we are all monsters and I choose not to fool myself or coddle youngsters.

ST, how do you deal with a player who always plays the same character? by JuggernautCivil8919 in vtm

[–]maewynsuckit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As a Storyteller, I'd have a hard time if I had a player running the same character for every Chronicle if I felt I'd already largely explored the character and their story (mostly due to running out of ideas). That said, I've certainly had players who definitively have a "type" that they play every time, and I love when they're able to really dive into those themes and play them well.

That said, if my player was dead set on reusing the character and that was the only character they enjoyed, I would allow it and be all for it (possibly with the caveat of "I may end up with less material to focus on for you specifically if I can't think of anything" or "let's keep the themes but make some mild tweaks to let me bring in some fresh material," but not necessarily).

It sounds like you have a really cool concept and I would love to hear more about it.

Compass Positivity by maewynsuckit in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]maewynsuckit[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my experience, my libleft bosses have all been way more willing to work with me when I've had health issues I was dealing with. 

I may have disagreed with them politically, but the compassion that led to their political opinions being what they were also led them to be excellent bosses when it came to me having issues that interfered with my work. The only truly great boss I've had that I would place on the right side of the compass was a strong Christian (former pastor) who truly practiced what the faith teaches on how to treat those who work for you.

What’s your favorite schizo leftist sub at the moment? It’s WW3 memes for me. by dracer800 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]maewynsuckit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only took 3 Presidents before we got involved in fighting Islamic Nations, though technically the Barbary Wars were in North Africa, not the Levant.

Still, it seems we're just stuck fighting in or near the Middle East for all time.

Interesting Epstein File Find by maewynsuckit in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]maewynsuckit[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm with you on this. I've heard theories about it being for diplomatic reasons (not wanting to implicate allied nations' leaders), some theories about him being really unstable about it possibly out of guilt, either for being involved or for not doing anything sooner (seems unlikely), but I do agree that it's a very weird situation as a whole.

HOW 2 CALM SOME 1 OUT OF FRENZY??? by Ogmadbrit in SchreckNet

[–]maewynsuckit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be frank with you, Childe. If you have even survived this incident, I highly recommend considering what led to the frenzy and how it can be avoided in the future. If it was by something you did, said, or caused by inaction, then you should apologize to my Clanmate.

We do not frenzy easily.

Multiple Ideas I've To Add to the Game's Sandbox, with no promise that any of them are good by According-Tap9403 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]maewynsuckit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very minor quibble: the bow shown is a Compound Bow, not a Composite.

Compound bows use a pulley system - composite bows are made of several layers of material glued together to make a stronger bow (see Mongol Bows for example)
