As much as fa/tg/uy neckbeards like to rage that "STREAMED GAMES ARE SHIT", there is a sizable population that are desperate for a decent TTRPG streamed game. Critical Role has long fallen by the wayside into a woke shitstain with no teeth, and many other "high viewer" streams are more about high school theater kid drama than they are actually playing the game. So it's only natural that that mostly-silent majority would like Huntermyth. So far Calli has proven capable and isn't going to be pulling teeth (See: Yuul), which is precisely what is needed for a WoD game.

I stepped up to be a Gamemaster and ran my own games through which I met new people/friends. There's also the matter of the source material to consider. Some people are walking wikipedias, while others know the mechanics by heart. You don't need to be at either extreme to run/play a good game.

I loved /b/'s Warhammer Wednesdays and instantly moved to /tg/ when it was made, then I lurked the board for years. When one of my MTG buddies wanted to try Dark Heresy in 2010 (I remember it was Scars of Mirrodin) I instantly fucking jumped to the opportunity. We're still a unit to this day, albeit I run my own games now and my old GM keeps introducing newfags.

You should've jumped to 5e when Critical Role was the hullabaloo back in 2015ish. I despise 5e and I despise Critical Role, but I can't deny it was the catalyst that drove newfags into the hobby. It's easy to find a group these days. Good groups are still scarce, but hey you can always keep playing until you assembled yourself a perfect team of friends.

I've yet to watch any of the sessions, because lazy, but I've been answering questions, info dumping, and helping people get into the game. So if you've got more questions on basically anything WoD related, although preferably nWoD/CofD, I'd be happy to spend the time explaining that or anything game related you'd like.


>>5240753
>How do you guys even know the game so well??
You just play games, you talk about games, and then you read books. You read a lot of books. In-play experience is great to learn how to apply rules and to get a handle on how things run, but you can play a million games and barely know anything if you're not reading the sources. Talking to people and hearing how things work for them, and getting contrasting opinions to your own, help shape a broader image of how everything works. It also helps fill in gaps you might have. RPGs tend to have a fair amount of content, and so you need to do a lot of reading to understand how it all slots together. For example, a power might seems super strong in a vacuum but compared to everything else it might actually be really underpowered. And it's not even just WoD books you read RPGs of every flavour and find the things you like. Other ideas from other authours and games can be really useful for figuring out how games works.

That is all pretty much irrelvant for having a good time playing though. It's great to help other people with their games, and can be very enjoyable on its own to just read books you like, but you can just know the basic rules and all the stuff your PC can do and that can be enough. A good GM/group will help you if you stumble.

For those wondering what he meant, Mori read out Ame character description on a member stream recently.

'The History of Watoto':
Watoto came from Watoto from Mother Watoto and Father Watoto who hate the Government and raised Watotot to take over the family owned herb business.

Description:
A conspiracy obsessed goblin-liked human who is a herb dealer to make money and wants to take down the local "system". Specializes in potions/poison crafting, pickpocketing, and street brawls.

She's more or less playing a drugged up Norfman conspiracy theorists.

Watching Ina die inside while dudebros and bitchy sorority witches kept trying to recruit her while her drunk friend who is maybe slightly lez for her got inducted to the Brohood was great. The disco ball and music were the cherry on top. It was definitely less action packed, the same way Kiara just wanting to go back to her barren, bird infested apartment to eat beans and not deal with all this crazy shit was slower too. But all too often campaigns focus on wild adventures and combat, so there's not much time to develop everyone's actual personality. I feel like I have a really good handle on Kiara (more birds, perhaps?) and Ina's (you run him over! ... Is he okay?) characters going into their first group session, and the slice of life parts are actually the most enjoyable bits to me. Well that and Yuul murdering an innocent janny then getting retribution in the form of 7 lethal damage attacks from the Hook if we are being honest.

nWoD Auspex is virtually identical to oWoD Auspex. Which is unfortunately the case for basically every nWoD Discipline. There are a few differences but it's nothing crazy. They're playing with CofD rules now though, so I really hope any Disciplines that get a showing use those rules as they're a lot more fun. Auspex isn't really any more divinatory in CofD though, it's just divination of a different sort. Nothing in it that's future prediction either, but I'd be happy to explain what it does if you care. Or a comparison between V20 and VtR 1e and 2e. You might be thinking of V5's Auspex, which has more future sight stuff in it, but V5 is oWoD not nWoD.

Mori is better than any GM I've ever had. She obviously put a ton of work into this and on some level I'm offended she's doing it for free. But my two favorite moments from her: Tiara decides to try to steal a vampire's gun and she just laughs but let her do it, and when she rolled for the Hook's damage and got wide eyed and started laughing. I think for a second she thought she might have just killed Ina in the tutorial.

First you need to get close. They you need exceptional success to actually do maneuvers, if you get normal success you only start doing them from second turn and enemy gets a maneuver per turn too. Fighting style at 3 just lets you do extra 1 damage per maneuver.

I guess if enemy has 0 in brawling it's pretty great but other than that nothing amazing. Also good luck trying to wrestle vampires or werevolves.

Depends on how well you can tolerate Calli doing a great job of not being ashamed of acting like a chad or stacy. It's cringe AF but I respect her dedication to power through it without being overly self-conscious. It's like amateur level high school drama kids acting since that's what she is, an amateur actor in the role. But otherwise, she's truly doing her best and I fully respect that. Probably the best work I've seen from Calli outside her music, and I say it as someone who generally hates watching Calli.

And if you left early, it does get quite a bit better later on as the story actually develops.

>>5241496

Eh, let's give it a rest for the time being. These things take a steady yet gentle hand to seep in properly. /tg/ has turned into a bitter creative wasteland filled with the worst kind of fetish fag (the closeted one that doesn't have fun but just obsesses about a single thing in the skeeviest gollum-tier cretin way) that daily battles it out with equally faggy puritans, so it'll be best to give it time to change things into a more positive direction.
Sure irritating them is fun, but I'd prefer to *become part* of the board instead through slow and gradual intermingling.
>>5241173
>Gura or Ame next?
Gura went through two charsheets already, so even if it wasn't planned they're gonna be doing Ame beforehand.
Plus they're going roughly from lowest to highest sub count so saving Gura for last makes the most sense.
>>5241210
>Call of Cthulhu? How the hell did that get big there?
One big reason?
Unironically?
The low survivability of the characters.
Japan almost never has people play in homes or in other fixed locations nor for very long due to high real estate prices, work culture and hyper-urbanisation, so most games have one or more of the following:

-Pregens as default assumptions
-High character turnover
-Scene-by-scene storytelling, often highly regimented by the mechanics (Double Cross - which is essentially a mix between Darker than Black and Prototype has people roll to appear in a scene, designed for having someone who gets off work late just sit down at the table and play right away)
-Very fast chargen
-No design for power levels beyond 7 sessions
-Generally short arcs

So CoC is very convenient for them because you solve a mystery and/or die trying, then disperse and do it again in two weeks.

>>5240753
>How do you guys even know the game so well??
Used to be into Quests and from there started talking to people into RPGs. Attended a bunch of sessions (Hunter, Demon, some AD&D retroclones, etc) to learn how to play, then started *digging* into shit and after about 2 years of continuous reading started to run games.

I did a really big explanation on this last thread you can read that here >>5202538 . That'll give you a pretty good idea of why things are the way they are for nWoD. As I say there, and the other anon said here nWoD and oWoD are totally different settings.

As for Malkavians they still exist, they're just not a Clan. Malkavians are way too specific to warrant being a Clan in nWoD given what a Clan means in that setting. Madness is also a thing that should be something all characters can explore, and given VtR's renewed focus on personal horror having it be just a quirky Clan Bane is pretty antithetical to a lot of what it's going for. So they're now a result of Malkavia. Which is a pretty viscous "degenerative disorder" that can effect vampires. It's not a physical or mental illness though, but a mystical affliction. It comes with a pretty serious list of disadvantages, but it's got it's upsides too. The biggest of which is granting access to their Discipline of Dementation. Their rules are in the 1e Venture clanbook, Lords Over the Damned, and one of the freelancers who wrote it did a third party 2e update called False Gods which includes Malkavia in an updated form.

>which tells us that it might just be because it's unique compared to the typical swords and sorcery shit that japan already has in fantasy.
Fun fact: Much of that comes from D&D in the first place, which got popular in Japan both because it was novel (most JP TTRPGs at the time were sci-fi), and because, like CoC now, a replay got popular. (Well, that and through games like Wizardry, but that's also from D&D)
The big replay at the time was Record of Lodoss War which leads to another fun fact: one of the current big fantasy RPGs over there (Sword World) was made basically just because the creators of Lodoss approached TSR to have it's setting become official but, because they still had the 80s mindset of "Japan is too weird to be a viable market" and refused, they had to make their own game to go with the setting instead.

I hope this becomes a long running series. If they make it through a few seasons they could even bring on Gen 2 as newbs working with the now veteran original crew. The biggest risk is that everything hinges on Mori since she’s invested and good GMs don’t grow on trees. If it’s gets to Critical Role viewership or even close it would nice to get some sponsors.

Awakening archmages tend to spend most of the time in personal pocket dimensions to avoid Paradox while they research their magic. They're honestly the least likely supernaturals a mortal will ever encounter since once you reach archmage level there's really only two things to feasibly focus on - aiding the Oracles in their eternal battle to restore the order of the world, or aiding the Exarchs in keeping the Supernal World separate from the physical world.

Honestly I'd avoid (capital M) Mages like the plague in a Hunter game. The Mage cosmology seriously doesn't play nice with the Vampire/Werewolf one that Hunter tends to play off of, and the power levels are completely out of whack with what most other nWoD entities can put out.

Chances are that if a magic user has to show up, it'll definitely be a witch, who for Vigil standards has a much more manageable magic to fight against. An archmage would just not give a fuck to even bother.

This whole thing about vtubers roleplaying as hunters remind me of the one HtV chronicle I had in mind ages ago, about a bunch of otaku in an anime club becoming a Cell, where each member's obsession would be their specialty, like an airsoft nerd who cosplays as a mlitary guy in cons is a gun nut, the Kendo student and jidaigeki fanatic is good with blunt and bladed weapons, an Internet addict can research for anything in seconds or has someone on their extensive contact list who always knows something, or a DIY enthusiast who somehow got very suspicious ingredients in their basement.

Just like Ina's it's kind of slow up to the point Calli starts nudging Kiara into the plot, but I think that's going to be a feature of all the sessions especially Gura's

Way too many ways. Drink vampire blood, get a contract with a changeling, go through an Awakening and become a mage, find a magic artifact and learn how to activate it, etc.

>Can you use parts of a monster's corpse to craft something useful?
Really depends on the monster. For example, if it is a Goblin not Ame then you better start taking it apart in the Hedge or it will just deteriorate to trash.

There are so many, you can build a whole storyline based on just finding/accidentally stumbling with one of them.

For an instance, the Cheiron Group is a pharma conglomerate where their best agents get implanted supernatural creature parts, to give them powers. Pretty nifty but also very dangerous, as expected.

Self-insert is top 5 of most played sort of characters by new players. The rest are Fictional Character Expy, the simplest concept ever, the most overdesigned concept ever, the pregenerated character the GM gave them modified to fit one of the former.

For a first campaign I'm okay with allowing characters that should have died to be maimed or put out of action for a session or two as long as there is a plausible reason they could be saved. Maybe a permanent loss of a stat or the like (which could be recovered with xp) and out of action for the rest of the session is punishment enough. Can you imagine after Ina makes a great design, has a 1:1, and people make a ton of fanart... then just has bad rolls and dies to a random cultist in in the first group stream?

Now, season 2, that's when the gloves come off. If a beloved character died fair and square that could be great.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5290607
I tried playing Chronicles. Many times.
While nWoD isn't a great system unless you start houseruling, it did Morality well enough. If you do vile shit, you roll for degeneration. If you make it, you keep your moral fiber, but justify your actions. If you don't, you just start finding it normal and you start going loopy. Also, there is a clear escalation to it and it becomes a central point in all the Supernatural splats. All in all, it is a meta mechanic that clearly affects the gameplay and narrative.

Integrity is just a "you lose past this point" system that barely affects a character in-game for any significant time.

Also, I fucking hate how the got rid of derangements in CofD and explained as "rpg dot net got mad at us and called us ableists, sry". Fuck you, there nothing more fun than playing a paranoid schizophrenic that doesn't know which of the vampires he sees coming at him is the real one.

Aggravated damage heals slowly but it still heals at a point per week, and a doctor can turn aggravated damage into lethal damage at one point per day. Yuul should have some fairly impressive scars but gameplay wise it doesn't imply long-term penalties. Presumably Vic used some sort of *magic* to stabilize and heal her when she was bleeding out.

That is how Integrity works, but as it's a horror game your mental stability doesn't just degrade when you choose to do a bad thing. It's effected by all the horror you witness too, as it should be.

>Also, there is a clear escalation to it and it becomes a central point in all the Supernatural splats. All in all, it is a meta mechanic that clearly affects the gameplay and narrative.
Morality is a far far bigger deal for splats in 2e than it was in 1e, and it also makes them far more thematically and narratively relevant. It just sounds like you haven't looked into any 2e splat when you say that.

>Integrity is just a "you lose past this point" system that barely affects a character in-game for any significant time.
I don't know what you mean by that first part, but that second part low Integrity effects all Breaking Point rolls, and there are three Persistent Conditions associated with it. Not to mention nicher things like Abjuration and other mechanical interactions. Where Hunter is concerned Integrity is tied into Touchstones, if your Integrity drops you can detatch from the Touchstones that keep you grounded. But as you grow more callous you gain Vigilant as a Persistent Condition. You have to spend Willpower to avoid looking into potential supernatural dangers, it makes you jumpy and easily Spooked as you're always looking over your shoulder, but it lets Virtues grant Willpower in excess of your total and it grants a Beat when you alienate a normal person because of the Vigil. If it drops further and you become more withdrawn you instead become Merciless. Works basically the same except now its your Vices that let you exceed maximum Willpower, and you can get a Beat from alienating other Hunters too. If your Integrity drops so low that it hits 0, you become a Slasher. Then there is all the Code stuff that ties into Breaking Points.

>I fucking hate how the got rid of derangements in CofD
Derangements don't need to exist, Conditions exist and fulfil the same roles. Derangements for being immoral was also a terrible idea. It makes no narrative sense, and is basically just "You're mentally ill because you're evil" which is just needless stigmatisation. It's both stupid and insensitive. It's a double whammy of terrible design choices.

I can see your points and why you'd defend them, but I will disagree with them and not challenge you further. My ultimate point is that when I play nWoD I don't want the game to end, but when I'm playing CofD I can't wait for the game to end.

I will admit that crunch-wise Integrity as presented in the core Chronicles book has less going on. Morality as a whole is leaps and bounds better in CofD IMO, especially stuff like Humanity or Harmony. Integrity really shines when used in conjuction with Hunter, 2e has a lot of additional layers to it. But it doesn't really matter if you like it or not, the only thing that counts is if you're having fun at your table or not. If that means playing nWoD then you play nWoD, if CofD ain't your thing then it ain't.

>How do you get access to magic/fantastic powers in WoD?
I wrote all too much about this a couple of threads back. This >>4952117 will give you a pretty solid idea of what's available. It was written with 1e in mind, but they're now playing 2e. So for 2e all a mortal PC needs to do to get magic is pick up a Supernatural Merit for it. The World of Darkness is full of magic and strange phenomena, mortals having strange psychic powers or senses beyond scientific explanation is not all that weird for the exceptional sorts of people players make. So you can just become telepathic by spending the Experience required for that Merit, although a good player will tie stuff lie that into the narrative.

Outside of that there is a lot of ways, basically every major splat has a lesser template associated with it that it can create in some fashion. The major ways would be a Vampire making you a Ghoul by feeding you their Vitae, this basically makes you an addict for their blood and their slave but you do get access to some Disciplines. There are also the Proximi families for Mages, which are basically just worse Mages. You can spontaneously become a Proximus though, even if it's usually runs in a bloodline. Speaking of bloodlines you can be born with powers. Werewolves give birth to Wolf-Blooded who all come with a minor sign of their heritage, called a Tell. Not every Wolf-Blooded undergoes to First Change but the can become full Werewolves. Demons can make the Demon-Blooded, who are one of the more powerful lesser templates thanks to their inheritnace. Vampiric blood rites can make a Dhampir, who are as much children of destiny as they are of mortal and Kindred. They're also probably the coolest lesser template by a fucking mile.You could stumble into the Hedge, a borderland between the mortal world and Faerie, and end up as a Faetouched. which gives you a measure of a Changelings powers. But there are also people like the Atariya who just become supernaturally lucky. Basically a fuck load of ways, and that's not even all of them.

>Can you use parts of a monster's corpse to craft something useful?
Plenty of ways to use monster bits but only one is really crafting, and that would be the Elixirs of the Ascending Ones, a Hunter Conspiracy. A lot of those use rare reagents, although off the top of my I can't think of any that are like "You need ground vampire fang". These don't have to be potions either, things incense, salves, balms, vapours, powders, and tobacco-like mixtures all get mentions. There are other ways to use monsters to gain power though.

Sticking with Hunter you've got the Cheiron Group who have the secrets of Thaumatechnology. Thaumatechnological surgery is basically transplants, or implants, of monster bits into an Cheiron Hunter , often with some electronic elements, in order to gain some sort of power. Like maybe you want to graft the sensory organs of some monster into a Hunter so they can read auras, or you give them retractable claws as a backup weapon, maybe you replaces ligaments and tendons in their legs to make them superhumanly fast. The Faithful of Shulpae, another Conspiracry, practice the art of Anthropophagy. Essentially they eat pounds and pounds of monster meat in order to gain its powers. Basically any Dread Power a monster has you can gain by eating them this way, although it's a lot of meat and it's not good for you.

The next big way is actually a whole different gameline, Deviant: The Renegades. In that game you play a human that has undergone a terrible experiment/surgery/event at the hands of a Conspiracry (Not the same as Hunter Conspiracies, although you can use them too) and as a result your soul has shattered and you've gained great powers at a terrible cost. One of the 5 "Clades" of the Remade are called Chimerics, and those are people who have had parts grafted into them. The Remade can do just about any sort of thing you can think of really, it's a body horror super heroe game where you built powers through a modular system of effects and costs. It's super fun.

Outside of those it's pretty niche things really, like there is a Vampire faction called the Ordo Dracul who are all occult science, alchemy, and the like to ascend the vampire condition. They have a set of abilities called the Mysteries of Zirnitra, focused around overcoming the vampiric limitation of being unable to acquire mortal Supernatural Merits. A side ability of this Mystery is called Grafting Unholy Flesh, and it's what it sounds like. You can take a body part from another Kindred, psychic, or other supernatural creature and surgically graft it onto yourself. You need to know the creature possesses a supernatural ability to take it, and the part you take from them must be symbolic of said ability. While it remains detatched from them they lose access to it, and for as long as the graft remains intact on you then you can use it yourself.

4 in dex, 4 in guns, that's 9 dice with specialization. Assault rifle is 4 dice. That's already 13. With full auto it's 16. Spend willpower and it's 19. Burn some blood and it's already over 20. You can start with BP3 so that's 25 dice without disciplines but most will have lower BP. If it's a melee weapon and you have Vigor it can be even higher.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5299548
It's not *heavily* inspired by Kamen Rider, but its certainly an influence. Mostly in it's sort of core narrative tropes. Man acquires power from evil entity, evil entity wants power back, evil entity tracks and hunts the man, evil entity sends bad guys it makes, man fights bad guys. Lets use Kamen Rider 1 as an example of that. So Takeshi is kidnapped by Shocker and forced to undo an experiment that turns him into a cyborg, and he becomes Kamen Rider 1. Shocker then sends their other creations, the Shocker Kaijin, after them and they do battle.

In Deviant Takeshi would be an Exomorph Invasive Deviant. Exmorph is their "Origin", how they came to gain their powers. Exomorphs are also called the Unwilling, because like the name implies they didn't want to go through whatever process gave them their powers. Invasive is their "Clade", or their broad grouping based on the source of their powers. Invasives get their powers from bits of technology implanted into their bodies, they're also called Cyborgs. A Deviant is one type of Remade, which is just the name for all the people who have been through things like this. Deviants escape their Conspiracy, and are hunted down, while you have the Devoted who stay loyal to them, and usually do the hunting. Shocker is a conspiracy, and the Shocker Kaijin are the Devoted.

Well alchemy is what the Ascending Ones, a Conspiracy of Hunters, is all about. Elixirs are their Endowment and they do all sorts of things. So it's a core part of the game, but I don't know if they'll end up joining them at all. There also capital A Alchemist, which are the lesser template associated with Prometheans. That's not really a player facing thing though, and it requires a whole new set of subsystems to work as they just use Promethean abilities. They are very cool though.

While pre-built scenarios and campaigns do exist, she isn't running one. Every character, plot beat, location, and event is all her doing. How much work that actually is depends on te ST in question, but it's likely she's put at least 2-4 hours into each session, and has done a whole lot more planning out the full scope of it, and doing behinds the scenes stuff. It's not a crazy amount of work to do, basically anyone can do it, but she's been doing it very well.

>Is Cain dead?
In oWoD? Nah, he's still around somewhere. He showed up in Gehenna: The Final Night, althouogh that's not canon. He was the taxi driver in VtM: Bloodlines, although WW says he isn't it was clearly the plan by Troika. So Caine is still kicking.

The girls aren't playing oWoD though, so I'll ramble about Cain in nWoD instead. Cain isn't as much of a thing in nWoD as he is in oWoD but he does still feature in a couple of places, but his major role is the the Cainite Heresy.

In Ancient Rome, when the Camarilla was in power, there was a heretical Christian sect created by a mad vampire called Vitericus that believed Cain was given immortality for the murder of Abel by God. With it became the Lord's prophet and voice throughout the ages, he was the one who lead Lot out of Sodom, he was Isaiah, he was Jeremiah, and when Jesus was on the cross he gave Jesus' blood to Longinus and gave him the gift of vampirism. Notably he's said to have spoke through Jesus and that most of Jesus' advice was actually to make people into easy prey. Becuase while man is made is in Abel's image, the Kindred are made in Cain's and so it is the will of God that the Kindred prey on the meek for it as the will of God that made Cain kill Abel. That's at least what the inner circle of the heresy were taught, and the rest of the heresy were basically taught a version to keep the cattle in line. This all went incredibly badly for Vitericus. His cult staked him and sliced his head off.

In the modern day the Cainite Heresy still exist as a Hunter Conspiracy. It'll come as no surprise that their main prey are vampires. They're a pretty rag-tag bunch compared to most of the other Conspiracies, they're very mobile and have a large focus on transport. The few static safehouses they do have are in places like subway tunnels, but most of them are things like train cars or trailers. They're also notable among Conspiracies in that they don't really give a shit about their history at all, the only history they do have is this. The mark of Cain was the curse of vampirism, his greatest act of defiance was finding a way to pass the curse onto the dead. Cain still lives as the only true living vampire and guides his children to this day.

DtD is a really stellar game. It's gone and themes are a load of fun. It's got a really high power level while still being pretty easy to grok. All the subsystems are fun to engage with, whether it's your powers being backdoors in the universes source code or crafting you demonic form to be something you love. It's all just really great stuff. Got somw great supplements too. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that it uses nWoD 1e formatting, so needs the core Chronicles of Darkness book to work and doesn't have a good table of contents or index. The supplements all use the 2e formatting though.

The Game Master, the players, and in the case of streamed games, the audience as well.
