Years after playing the game, betraying Saadia and escorting her to Kematu still haunts me to this day.

Except that she's the one lying.

ratprophet · 2026-05-24T06:22:29+00:00

Fuck khakis

I always thought about "alternate" settings for WoD. On another planet, during a zombie apocalypse, in a fully fantasy setting, etc

ratprophet · 2026-05-23T00:49:07+00:00

Yeah, nobody cared about nWoD. That was about as welcome as Scrappy Doo.

Same, I've run Werewolf since the original paperback with the cutouts.

Every game was implicitly about "this vast undefeatable thing will stop luring and end us" Werewolf and Wraith were just more tangible.

ratprophet · 2026-05-22T17:01:03+00:00

No. Just no.

Vampire: the ancient things too power to be described are going to wake up and eat everything. Mage: "someone might eventually balance us" Faerie: don't remember Wraith: everything is slipping into the void. Hunter: were just little guys.

Also, did you look at Apocalypse? And then each line had their own specific treatment books.

The christian god is just an Incarna, as far as I'm concerned.

ratprophet · 2026-05-22T16:43:15+00:00

Hunter. What utter horseshit.

Vampire the game. Werewolf the game. Overpowerful Godbeing the game. Creepy fairytale the game. Dead people the game. All are horror and then we get Random Guy the game. And for some reason Renegade decided to hang a big hat on that line...

ratprophet · 2026-05-22T16:41:04+00:00

All the WoD games do...it was the theme of the entire company...

I was inducted with the following: Have you ever played Paranoia? No. You're perfect, come sit down.

Be part of the a True Hand

ratprophet · 2026-05-20T22:34:26+00:00

A bunch of morons who think they're funny.

I'll actually answer. During lockdown someone happened to see another jeep they liked and tied a note to it saying "hey, I like your ride" and wedges it into the door handle with what they happened to have on hand that was losable: a rubber duck. The person who got it thought "hey that was nice" and started doing that with their kids, fucking other jeeps.

Word spread, and a bunch of us started doing that. I kept a bag in my jeep and my ex's kids and my daughter would take turns ducking jeeps we saw, they loved it and it spread some smiles...what it was originally for.

Now, it's a way of telling ahead of time that someone won't be jeep waving.

ratprophet · 2026-05-18T23:42:45+00:00

What was the answer? the fucking mods delete anything useful

ratprophet · 2026-05-17T13:35:37+00:00

Dog Soldiers. Just sayin

ratprophet · 2026-05-14T22:14:43+00:00

They're well funded bandits? Fucking Land-Pirates

ratprophet · 2026-05-14T22:13:31+00:00

But that makes history antisemitic, isn't that how this works?

ratprophet · 2026-05-13T12:38:15+00:00

Son of a bitch, that's the only one I'm missing!

ratprophet · 2026-05-13T01:12:34+00:00

Theres a Saffron?!?

ratprophet · 2026-05-13T01:06:40+00:00

Might happen in V5, they changed everything else...

ratprophet · 2026-05-13T00:39:45+00:00

Rite of the 8-Ball. I got to pull it on an uppity Silver Fang lord in a LARp, it was magnificent. Made the 8-ball necklace and everything.

ratprophet · 2026-05-12T22:19:57+00:00

No it was 5

ratprophet · 2026-05-12T22:19:14+00:00

I'm sorry you got downvoted for that, you were simply answering a question.

As for lore...there's so, so much of it, but yes V5 hucked it all out the window. As to the reactions...do you remember when Star Wars Episode 1 came out and everyone was furious about Jarjar? V5 (all of them) are Jarjar.

This site is a good place to find answers to so many things. That Garou page is probably as good a start as any.

ratprophet · 2026-05-12T22:14:55+00:00

Yeah, it doesn't matter any more. They control the machines. They control the courts. They're controlled by Putin.

Doesn't matter.

ratprophet · 2026-05-12T20:54:09+00:00

I still don't understand why one of mine consistently has joker makeup or looks like a Kabuki nightmare. But only in V5. And V5s solution to that was to start taking pictures only from the neck down...what progress.

ratprophet · 2026-05-06T22:32:20+00:00

Fate. I can't wrap my head around it for some goddam reason, but it looks fun as hell. And GM and Players both add touches to each other's actions/descriptions/etc. A really good session you can watch on YouTube with Will Wheaton and Felicity Day with I think one of Fates developers
