The worst part of what you said @Beemann, is that I can't argue with you.
I think Changeling is the best of the Chronicles of Darkness games, but it is definitely the sort of game that would appeal to people that think that they are special snowflakes.
I actually had an idea for a bullshitty pnp that worked kinda on the identity basis, but it was based around fanfic OC's and not SJstuff
And having too many templates caused you to get yeeted
Tbh I was thinking moreso of the "tenuous connection to reality" part of the mechanics re: Changeling
Aside from Beast, the game for otherkin and abusers written by a child molester.
Oh, fair enough.
I haven't played much WoD but I *really* like the concept of Promethean
Full disclosure: Never played a Table Top RPG
No idea what you guys are referencing
WoD is an SJ run set of tabletop games that used to be hippy new agey stuff and a lot more fun
FATAL is obviously the best tabletop RPG
I started reading through FATAL until I just felt dull inside
It'd be funny to do a FATAL parody. GENITAL
Meh, in most cases, I think the post 2000 game lines were better than the old ones. Then again, I didn't get into tabletop rpgs at all until like 2007 or so.
Changeling: The Lost is a WoD game about people who have escaped the realm of the Fae, are forever changed and are not necessarily 100% out
Promethean: The Created is Frankenstein/Pinocchio
The old WoD games always had quite fascinating ideas I think. The SJ element was semi-present but the overwhelming theme was trying to be dark/edgy, so that got drowned out
I like the idea of Vampires trying to stop grandpa from going supercannibal and werewolves fighting horrors from deep within the earth, and the power imbalance
But at the same time I like New Changeling, Promethean, Slasher
I mean, I thought that O-Werewolf was straight up eco terrorist propaganda trash, but I really like the newer version.

This conversation
And I kinda liked the old Vampire, but I really liked how isolated Requiem feels.
shhh. I'm trying to understand it
Also RIP Shadowrun's quality control
5th would be great if they had good formatting and didn't lose all their money to embezzlement
I kinda like the idea that these vampires that have spent centuries bound to the place they live in, because they can't necessarily get to another place where they wouldn't starve before dawn comes, and that they wouldn't be any quicker to move around now that they do have the ability to get just about anywhere within twelve hours.
Also, as cool as it was in practice, the idea of these globe spanning, vampire run conspiracies, especially the way those conspiracies placed them in charge of every world government except Nazi Germany seemed a little much to me.
@SteelandSouls fwiw it's not hard to get into PnP, and politically it's impossible to actually control. At worst your book will be filled with annoying garbage you just ignore because lolrule0
It's a good bit of social recreation for about 2h, and it can be good for writing exercises too if you're into that sort of thing
Introduced an absolute newbie to ADnD 2nd and she's been doing fine (mostly because the player never needs to touch most of the rules)
Quick question. What's PnP mean? I tried looking it up and Urban Dictionary is giving me the gay orgy definition
Pen and Paper
Very different
I'm afraid to ask, but the gay orgy definition?
Apparently PnP also means Party n Play
Which is not inaccurate to our current topic I suppose
Aside from the fact that it apparently refers to a gay orgy?
Right. That
The infrastructural requirements of an online DnD campaign are the ability to save/store text files, people to play with and some method of verified rolling really
