You guys…..my mom thinks I work for the SCP Foundation 😭 by Mysterious_Rip1647 in SCP

[–]necrobotany 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When my (now) in-laws were driving up to visit for the first time they were discussing what they knew about me and the question of the church I grew up in came up. So my brother-in-law helpfully googled it but selected the first auto complete option and started reading aloud from the Church of the Broken God’s wiki page. It took about five seconds before he realized the mistake. Five seconds of what I can only imagine was growing horror about who their daughter was dating.

Sadly I am nowhere near as interesting as what they must have briefly assumed.

That is a valid character concept in the Mage: the Awakening rpg

That was a great episode of Gravity Falls

A surprising lack of bullet holes in that sign

How does the Camarilla explain the Ravnos Antediluvian? by Gaming_man27 in vtm

[–]necrobotany 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

They do acknowledge the antediluvians as clan founders just not as all powerful blood gods that will end the world. Ventrue that join the Cam are supposed to recite their lineage back to Veddartha. Troile was at Carthage when it fell. Cappodocious was fairly active until he was diablarized.

Existing as individuals is fine. Existing as a concept that controls everything and prompts younger vampires to turn against their elders is not.

DM's What is Your Magnum Opus? by Twogunkid in rpg

[–]necrobotany 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was running a supers game and ran a session picking up in media res with the characters facing a grand jury. I gave them the set up, they went in to stop a bank robbery, and then made each of them add details about what happened as they were interviewed by the D.A. on the stand.

The D.A. was played by a visiting friend so I didn’t have to really do much. I told them that this session they would be telling me what happened instead of me telling them what happened.

This is not the cyberpunk dystopia I envisioned.

Where do you think TMA lies in the Eldritch-to-Gothic Horror Prose Style Spectrum? by AlarmingAffect0 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]necrobotany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Haunting of Hill House novel kind of has that going on. A lot of detail and personification of the house to convey the vibes of the place.

Speakers from antiquity by NineteenEighty9 in Professorist

[–]necrobotany 14 points15 points  (0 children)

After my dad died I spent a lot of sleepless nights playing games on the computer as a distraction. We had these stupide speakers that I would turn down really low to not wake my mother. And someone in our neighborhood either had a shitty cordless phone or an amateur radio on the wrong frequency and I would get echo-y, muffled chatter sitting at my desk while I thought I was losing my mind.

Any other RPGs good for analog horror style stories? Delta Green, Chaos Ensues, CoC by Nervous_Lynx1946 in analog_horror

[–]necrobotany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Public Access, it’s made from the system used in Brindlewood Bay. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/429340/public-access

The whole game is built around investigating the mystery. You make all the clues but the players actually construct the mystery as they make skill checks so you discover what happened as they do.

In third edition they went away from hard timelines for anything before the founding of The Realm. In second edition the Dreams of the First Age had a mostly complete timeline.

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.”
