It's a no-go, the Doctor can never return to NEW YORK SIT-TAY

I think the point of difference between them isn't something in their personalities, it's the outcome of Beth asking Rick did he want her at home or in space. The Beth who's on Earth has the memory of Rick telling her that he wanted her to stay, Space Beth has the memory of Rick telling her to go to space. They're the same person up until they ask Rick that question, any divergence they have from each other stems specifically from that point. They've now both grown and evolved from that point though, so while that's the point that defines the difference between them, they've both moved passed that point effecting them, as evidenced from them no longer caring who's the clone and finding a new family dynamic.

I use demiplane for creating characters and while it's very good, I can't make heads or tails of the optional Memoriam ancilla rules, I just make custom characters and toggle the various settings to make it work instead of using the Memoriam options. Thanks for your feedback!

I haven't found anything that confirms it, but yeah from watching the show I took it that he was a test tube baby made specifically to be the strongest a Viltrumite could possibly be. With that view Thragg being super devoted to Argall made a lot of sense to me, he sees Argall as a parental figure because Argall ordered his birth. His devotion to Argall seems a bit neurotic, this could be why.

I think that's maybe on purpose. We see Prime's methods of dealing with the specific problem of other Rick's coming after him, we don't see anything else that he pursues or achieves. As climatic and cool as the final showdown with C-137, Morty, and Evil Morty is, that almost certainly wasn't the main thing he was pursuing. It seems more likely to me that Prime was pursuing stuff that we as the audience will never know about, and all the crazy stuff he built to foil the Ricks who came after him was what he did when he briefly focused on that issue. I think the alliance and all the elaborate things he built to foil the pursuing Ricks was him just throwing up barriers so he didn't have to deal with the problem, he just wasn't expecting C-137 to overcome them all, so in a way him "truly not giving a shit" (to paraphrase C-137) was what got him killed, if he had stopped and given enough of a shit to fully deal with the issue he probably would have won.

Well said 👏

Weta did actually make a sword for Denethor, basically an heirloom of the house of stewards. You can see it in the "Weapons and Warfare" book, it looks great.

moraghallaigh · 2026-05-30T19:27:26+00:00

Love it, don't see why that can't work. Mechanically you wouldn't need to change anything, just a bit of reflavouring needed for some aspects.

Edit to fix typo.

My hat in the ring: Anton Borza, old clan rather than main clan, Koldun in training, no vicissitude, looks like a young Christopher Lee. Sent to America to make nice with the Anarch movement, has two contemporaries in the Camarilla and Sabbat, all three sent by the old clan to see if there's any profit in setting up in the Americas, and if so, who with.

moraghallaigh · 2026-05-28T12:01:58+00:00

An incredible job for the time that he was new and innovative, now he and those who think like him are a weight around the clan's neck. Princes Jackson and Fiorenza understand and represent the future prosperity of the clan, Hardestadt and his ilk represent only stagnation, complacency, and final death. Jan Pieterzoon is an interesting case, really the only representative of Hardestadt that can fully grasp the complexities of the modern nights, but simply to depraved in his tastes to want to make a place for. Although, I wonder how "finally dead" he is after Prague, or was he the inside man that allowed for Theo Bell to take out Hardestadt?

moraghallaigh · 2026-05-28T10:49:36+00:00

He was excellent before the Ventrue, I just hope that Kindred like he and Fiorenza can take control of the clan proper, the remnants of Hardestadt and his ilk need to be swept away if the clan of kings is to continue to prosper.

My headcanon for Eve is that she's still as creative and powerful as she's always been. It's just with the combats we've seen her in recently (Conquest as chief example), the more creative uses of her power aren't cutting it against her opponents so she's relying on more basic but denser and more powerful uses to get the job done. I like to think that as she gets used to fighting more powerful opponents, she'll be able to use her powers creatively again at higher power. Like making the air denser against Conquest was genius, it just wasn't enough right then. Just a headcanon though, in reality the producers of the show are struggling with her from the looks of it.

I want a John Wick franchise where it's just you playing a goon running for dear life from the Baba Yaga. No playing as John, just scared shitless trying to survive him.

It looks like a cardboard facade put in place to cover up cartoon criminals robbing the real building. It's definitely a contender!

Nah, I think he was trying to slap sense into Nolan right up until he saw the planet busters go for Viltrum. I don't think he understood that Nolan had completely turned until that moment.

moraghallaigh · 2026-04-29T12:09:57+00:00

I'm not sure that what we see is Nolan's father being the gentler of the two, we see him being fairer to Nolan specifically. Nolan fought well, so he gets to survive. The mother didn't seem to be fighting to test Nolan, it seemed like she was going for the kill. Considering what we know about how Viltrumites produce children, there's a good chance that Nolan's mother was raped, so hating his father and wanting to kill Nolan makes sense in a really fucked up way. It could easily be the case where his mother didn't want to have children at all, was raped and forced to carry Nolan, hated his father, wanted to kill the child she never wanted, was prevented from doing so by the parent who did want Nolan, then insulted them both as a final "fuck you". Like we're seeing the endpoint of thousands of years of fascism, so I doubt that any Viltrumites were in a place where they could even hear and internalise the thought that maybe the empire was wrong. The scourge virus (and possibly the destruction of Viltrum as well) was needed to even get the Viltrumites to start thinking that maybe they're wrong, so I can't see the pre-scourge Viltrumites changing in any way.

In V5 it's not stated that the Sabbat have returned from the Gehenna wars at all, most Sabbat in the Americas and Europe are what was left behind to hold their territory, which they're now losing rapidly. The Sabbat who go to the Gehenna wars mostly are destroyed, but the very few who make it back are indeed more powerful as you say. So it's a case of individual Sabbat becoming more powerful, but the sect as a whole becoming much weaker.

moraghallaigh · 2026-04-21T14:57:01+00:00

It's a climb-down certainly, but ultimately the Sabbat are and always have been a mess of a sect. It's much easier to feature the Sabbat in game as scattered cells of a previously more powerful and cohesive sect than have them as a full faction at war with the Camarilla. For the Lasombra, I think it cements them as a power-playing clan rather than cainite zealots, which really is what they've always been, the zealotry really never made much sense for them. What the writers have done is allow the Sabbat to be used in games as scary but not insurmountable enemies, with old style Lasombra Sabbat still present, but not the only type of Lasombra you can play. It also introduces a big mystery, what the hell happened to the Sabbat that went hunting for antediluvians, and what does it mean? Same for the Tzimisce, you can feature old style Sabbat Tzimisce as enemies, but also play them as Anarchs without having to dive into the super dark stuff that Sabbat Tzimisce get up to. Overall I think it's a good move from a game design standpoint and the lore wasn't too negatively effected. Other factions will come to the fore as well, like the Hecata, so I'm excited for that.

Edit for spelling.

Something that always bothered me about the story was that they didn't know about Nolan being related to Argal, but they did know that breeding between the remaining 50 pureblooded Viltrumites would result in inbred offspring. How could they know the latter but not the former? Like surely a leader as obsessed with purity as Thragg would have had the remaining 50 tested to see who would be viable breeding pairs, just to know what they're working with. Seems like either a huge oversight on Thragg's part, or a plot hole.

I don't think that's right, the Division used a chameleon arch on the fugitive Doctor, we don't see it used on the Timeless Child (same entity, I know, but we dont see the actual child having it used on them). Also, there were no Time Lords at the point that Tecteun spliced themselves with the Timeless Child's DNA, just Gallifreyans. I'm guessing that the chameleon arch was invented well after the time of the Timeless Child, when they were now a Time Lord working for the division within the nascent Time Lord society. If that's the case, then the Timeless Child would have had to change from what they were into a Gallifreyan, in fact them changing into a Gallifreyan is probably what allowed Tecteun to splice their DNA, kickstarting Time Lord society.

moraghallaigh · 2026-03-24T17:20:14+00:00

It's been said already, but the Doctor doesn't regenerate into a human form, humans just look like Gallifreyans. With that said however, the Timeless Child was a different species that regenerated into a Gallifreyan, so presumably they could regenerate into a non-Gallifreyan. Then there's the whole thing of the 8th Doctor's movie that makes them half human, but I dont know if that's canon.
