This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I don't want to give Onyx Path more money.  I really don't like the direction they are going.

Playing it now, it is pretty good, imo.

I'm in agreement here. The X the Y is so played out. I liked back when they were willing to do something wonky and strange like Orpehus but of late they seem to be stuck in a rut. Pick up monster X apply drama Z. Too formulaic and mechanically it's just eh.

I'd just take something like Cypher or I dunno HERO and bash out my own material.

That's like 800% what I wanted to get away from. I like it when I'm being silly, but these days I could do with out the trench coat crowd.

I LOLed. :)

But I still have my 90s rpgs to fall back on. Imagination is a remarkably self-renewing resource. Props to the black lipstick, wine glass, and spiked collar, though. Tres en flique.

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

My angst days are done and far behind me.  I seen it and when it bragged about angst I left that Kickstarter in the dust.  Made me go 80's with...

It's a retroclone of Storytelling System. Backup here: https://www.scribd.com/collections/2653023/Opening-the-Dark

QuoteDon't know what Everlasting is so can't reply on that.

Need more info on Witchcraft before I can make a solid judgement.
Those were the original world of darkness heartbreakers. Everlasting was written by some WW writers and amplified the pretension by an order of magnitude. Both are available on OneBookShelf last I checked.

Quote from: CRKrueger;888853Witchcraft failed?
Everlasting was a AAA title?

April Fool's...or just Fool?
Witchcraft was canceled after five books. Everlasting had fairly high production values on par with WW at the time.

Do what I do.

Just play 1e nWoD with modifications as needed. If you don't want to give your money to Onyx Path/White Wolf, buy secondhand copies online or convert the games to a different system (like what I am trying to do with Vampire: The Requiem and Big Eyes Small Mouth) and just play that.

To me the only game that does what I want is Hunter the Vigil. Because it has rules for creating all monster types and the game isn't too much focused around it's themes and politics. I find most other settings a bit stifling and contrived.

What do you guys actually think of WoD Mirrors with all those hacks and alternative rules?
May I say that? Yes, I may say that!

I've been following the KS updates to see if I should back it or not and the game looks pretty cool. I think behind the silliness and parody there is a good game to be played.

The author posted a preview of the Immortal splat for the previous version of the game (available of DTRPG), and it looks interesting.

One of the best books to happen.  It started my path to the asset mechanic with the merit hacks.  Does a good job in replacing all those merits and made things less broken.
