/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>10636086
For newfriends and fa/tg/uys: this is a Chronicles of Darkness (CofD) homebrew being played by the fabulous ladies of Hololive English, running under the Hunter: the Vigil module. As most of the players are new to the world of tabletop RPGs, this campaign is being played as more of learning experience, with fun and entertainment the primary goals.

THE CAST:

>Mori Calliope
as THE STORYTELLER.
Everyone's beloved, buxom, pink-haired, adorably awkward rappin' reaper. A solid journeyman in playing tabletop, she is the acting GM and organizer of this campaign.
>Takanashi Kiara
as TIARA
An explosively extroverted phoenix and savvy owner of the moderately popular fast food franchise, Kiara Fried Phoenix (KFP). Her experience in TTRPGs is limited to a small amount of DnD played as a child. Her character is Tiara, a nobly born foreigner with a talent for handguns and communicating with birbs, particularly her pet owl, Uhu.
>Ninomae Ina'nis
as YUUL
A soft-spoken, sweet-natured priestess of the Deep Ones, also a talented artist whose character renditions has fueled the flood of Huntermyth fanart. A newbie in the realm of TTRPGs. Her character is Yuul B. Alwright, a sleep-deprived college grad student with a talent for academics, crafts, and vehicular homicide.
>Amelia Watson
as WATOTO
An animal-loving time traveler and detective with a rough-and-tumble approach to life. Yet another newcomer to the realm of TTRPGs. Her character is Watoto, a paranoid, conspiratorial dealer of herbal concoctions and drugs who holds his own with rough street charisma and his fists.
>Gawr Gura
as SCOUT
An infectiously amiable shark, long-time resident of the underwater kingdom of Atlantis. She is also new to TTRPGs, but don't let that fool you, her roleplay and improv performance so far has been nothing less than masterful. After going through multiple drafts and iterations, she has settled upon the party's final character: an illiterate, tough-as-nails country blacksmith named Scout, a melee and survival powerhouse.

>>10636086
Questions / comments / speculations
Link any pertinent Huntermyth-related questions here so they can be easily answered.

This idea picked up some interest in a previous thread (and elsewhere), but how would you anons like to see the party do an hour-long debrief stream? Just a short, laid back intermission session where the party returns to HQ and comes to grips with what the hell they just went through. Amidst spending their experience for the viewers to see (and maybe elaborating on the justification), Yuul could put her mental skills to work doing some research, Watoto could cultivate some helpful greenery, and Tiara and Scout could shop around for a replacement company car or something. i think a mini-session like this would work wonders; the girls could just shoot the shit, chat OOC more than usual, ask questions if needed, and complete their pre-mission prepwork without having to try and rush it all in another 3-4 hour stream. Also Calli wouldn't have to mega-prep for it, as it would be pretty laid back.

So far, who else in the Holo / vtuber community would be a good fit for Mythbreakers, should positions open up? So far the following have expressed interest in TTRPG, if not Huntermyth specifically:
>Reine
>Haachama
>Anya
>Risu (possibly)
>Fauna

This is a bad idea, but what would be a good SC to send to them seeing if they'd be open to giving us a try? Timing would have to be optimal as well. No point in asking if all of Myth are going to sign on for season 2.

Most importantly, why does literally everyone want to bang Yuul? Don't get me wrong I'm down for it too, but geez, is Calli trying to say something here?

Got the character info updated. I played with trying to give them a faint Hunter: the Vigil background that would mimic the original character sheets, but it looked too shit. Just went with a somber gray fog effect. Beauty in simplicity.

Poor Tiara still rocking that gunshot wound from her tutorial.

Roll collection updated. For that guy writing his dissertation over Mythbreakers.

And lastly the character sheets. Changes between Session 2 and 3 listed below.

-Defenses were incorrect. Corrections were made.
-Ina: 1 in athletics
-Kiara: Kiara ditched Loaded for Bear and Subduing Strikes, added Gunslinger as a Merit with 3 dots, Specialization changed to Revolvers, Spent 1 xp in Stealth
-Gura: 1 in athletics
-Ame: 1 in athletics

Bamp.

dang hype for this really went down

How do you like your scout butt?

>>10647769
The hype will build back up on the next season in like two weeks.

>>10649700
Gura has a thing for bottom-heavy girls and yet no one ever draws Scout like that. It's sad

sip

I don't know why you made this thread. There isn't really anything to talk about. Unless people are going to be posting their own sheets or throwing out random WoD questions there is pretty much nothing that hasn't been talked about to death.

I've never played a TTRPG in my life. It's been so long since we got introduced to the Homestead Bar but I remember Madam M talked about """experience potions.""" Did Calli just scrap that stuff for the Beats system or can they fit that stuff in as well? Other than getting new missions and I guess equipping, it seems like there was a whole lot put into all the intricacies of the bar and the people there but no actual purpose for it.

>>10659916
The experience potions were a very strange thing. I hope they're been dropped, because it's retarded. The idea was to make experience somehow easier to grok, and to make the bar more important.

still up?
Nice!

So who us the new DM gonna be now that Mori put out her retirement song and will be graduating at the end of the week?

>>10667716
My money is on Ame, she is by far the most creative of the remaining four.

>>10667716
Is memes oooor?

>>10667613
Sell me on battletech anon, I'm intrigued

>>10667716
>rratfags finally wormed their way into /HMG/
Explain to me the mental state of a person who spends their finite time on this corporeal realm posting inane shit like this.

>>10647769
The delay after delay after delay turned me off from discussing the campaign in these threads. I'm still watching but the only times I'm going to go out of my way to look for this is when there's a new session that day.

>>10667613
This would go well with some images. Is there any kind of reasoning as to why each Holo has that mech in particular?
I'm familiar with most of these just from MWO.

>>10676301
Totally understandable. The gap between sessions 2 and 3 proper was a hellscape of bad luck and external events kicking the collab back more and more. Keeping the general up wasn't feasible after so many dry weeks, but it's clear sailing from here on out. Council dayboo'd and are able to stand on their own, Myth had their anniversary, and most everyone's had some good vacation time to R&R (hopefully).

>>10647769
It's very niche

>>10680684
It crests and troughs due to the scheduling, but fresh fan art is still being pumped out pretty regularly. The main issue is keeping a general up. /tg/ has a slower pace, but the board is too hostile to the project, while /vt/ is the fourth busiest board on the site; add to that the mods allow blatant spam and shitpost threads to rage uncontrolled.

Bump

>>10680676
cool

>>10693960
Me again

Am I the only one getting Shoebill vibes from Yuul's design?

>>10669561
>>10676497
>*cracks knuckles*
Battletech is Combat math. it is a game so lost in the 80's there are 5 steps to each case of weapons fire and a page of charts needed to play.
It is the last game the clowns have not taken over, so it's the last home of all the old guard gamers in 2020+

as for the choices? oh, hell yes.
--some mechs have names that tell you what they do.
--many mechs have memes literally waiting to be found in their name, if not their function.

specific oshi's:
--Wasps, Stingers are the most basic of mechs. if you want a little classier, go Phoenix Hawk or Shadow Hawk
--Revenant has no human pilot on board
--Urbanmech is highly lauded, but it's rarely useful outside base defense. Flea is harmless.
--Atlas will beat shit up.
--Marauder is one classy yet lethal beast, but is also strangely comfy.
--Anubis mech is very feminine, it's even built by the 'girls' faction.
--Puma mech is low slung and has an utterly flat top surface.
--Hollander is a tiny fucker with a big gun.
--Catapult mechs have Giant missile launcher bays
--the Griffon is one of the classic mechs, but is kind of gentle. Hard to pass one up though.
--Jenner has a very certain look to it.
--Grasshoper mech has a little bit of everything, and is fun.
--The Cicada and Locust mech: they are small, fast, and cute. and, not what you expect.
--everybody owns a goddamn Timberwolf. you will end up in it's cockpit at least once.
--One of the most Operator mechs ever is the Mad Cat II. hated by purists, it's a lethal machine with sex appeal.
--Wapeta mech is a bizarre mix of jet fighter and mecha. also seen as a villain.
--Black Knight is a high-tier brawler mech, it literally has a sword and board version.
--Charger is classified as an assault mech, but it's mostly harmless.
--with 2 fists and a mega-shoulder gun, the Hunchback gets in close and pounds ass.
--Orca is the biggest mecha in the entire game. Period.
--Sagittaire is a trap for newbs, but a slick machine in expert hands. it's cruel and precise.

>>10682430
i am trying to amass a database of J-TTRPG Fubuki streams and what not, but it's a Pain in the KSon Ass.

I just want to see the council play something new when it comes to their turn to try the TTRPG market out. Star Trek Adventures, Fallout, Shadowrun, MASKS, whatever. Just anything that isn't D&D shit or WoD drek.

>>10708332
Here here!

I would agree with you on WoD, but some of the old systems had great potential if misused properly.

Seeing the Council play Star Trek Adventures would be Cool, esp. if Sana was made captain.
Good other choices would be Shadowrun, Savage Worlds, Tales from the Loop, and Doctor Who RPG

I realized my earlier post was a little off-topic, so i made this to compensate. I hope you like it.

In case you don't know a game, i tried to pick closer to their personality than their theme.... though, 2 are real-life actual picks.

how time has flown.

>>10709899
>Ollie
>GURPS
Don't do that to me, bro. It hurts so much...

>>10709899
>AD&D with Reine
Oh god my DICK

>>10713498
I'm still kinda upset that Ame essentially made "that guy" the character and somehow didn't understand that this wasn't a fantasy setting. She did a lot to reduce the effects.

>>10715524
Ame isn't That Guy at all, and not knowing the RPG setting you've never heard of isn't fantasy like almost all popular RPG settings are is a weird thing to get upset at.

>>10715524
Watoto put me off at first, but he's grown on me more. Amelia is good at staying in character, and serves as some genuine comic relief without coming off as forced or cringe. What hasn't grown on me is Amelia's horrendous understanding of the game. Compared to all the others, Watoto is actually pretty well rounded for lots of situations; Amelia simply doesn't utilize the skills and merits she's chosen.

>>10715705
Mori spent minutes giving an introduction to WoD that explains it takes place in the modern day in a normal town with unknown supernatural creatures lurking in the shadows. Everyone else understood this concept just fine, but somehow she decided she would make a gremlin-like man that grows literal magic mushrooms. Those first couple sessions with the deus ex mushroom moments were rough, but I'm thankful Mori was able to create an environment that Watoto fit into.
Her misunderstanding in the character creation stream combined with not settling on an official Watoto design has lead to some wild art like this >>10673761 which is mainly what bothers me now.
Overall she's improved a lot and turned out much better than expected, given just how many red flags were raised with her character at the start.

>>10718303
You're forgetting that Gura also did an incredibly dumb concept to start off with too.

>>10718460
Honestly Scout is still pretty chuuni with the eyepatch and the weaponcrafting, but the bottom line is they've all improved since the start.

>>10718694
He's referring to the Dark Lady. Gura's initial PC was a blind assassin masquerading as a courier with maxed out Dex, Wits, and Manipulation. She thought she could manipulate the shadows around her and be extremely stealthy. It was both That Guy / Coldsteel sort of character, and totally out of context for Hunter: the Vigil. Gura and Calli have done the most off-screen discussion of the TTRPG than all the others, and Gura readily accepted that this wasn't an urban D&D. She spent the most time drafting up her final character, and it shows.

Just as an aside, I don't think the Dark Lady is a horribly stupid idea. Just very out of place for WoD.

>>10718460
>>10718694
>>10719394
This reminds me, Dark Lady might've not fit for Gura but someone like Reine could play the role well as I think she could pull it off better but that's just me.

>>10719394
Only out of place for Hunter, it'd work in other games. As a Khaibit or Lygos it'd be pretty fun, same with a Changeling, you could pull off something similar with a Bound, an Uratha could mostly work for it, obviously Mage has no problem there, a Deviant would work, the rest not so much but it's not a concept that is out of place for WoD.

>>10713689
>>10714702
...you know it's accurate....

>>10715705
Watoto. watoto is that guy.

>>10723069
Characters can't be That Guy, That Guy is a layer. Ame isn't That Guy

Bampu with mah boi Uhu.

We can only pray to see a Geist season

>>10723539

Ame would think that your mom would agree.

>>10713689
I dunno she might be a Mathwarrior I mean Mechwarrior though.

Afterall the Math must flow

>>10736845
>>10739261
Yeah. i made some corrections.
I had to.....i realized one of the Holo's got one of several i was thinking of for Coco, then i left it in that spot and forgot about it.

>>10736745

>>10744050
I was so proud of Ina for digging her heels in on the driving dispute. Watoto and Scout would've screwed them over behind the wheel. #ourbravegurlyuul

>>10718460
The darkness stuff was fantasy-tier and not appropriate, but I'm sad she dropped the mail/messenger idea. It was pretty unique

>>10709899
Kiara's could be The Dark Eye, feels like every player in Germany and Austria is playing or has at least played it.

>>10746018
She was, like Ame, totally unfamiliar with the setting. I was honestly surprised when she revealed Scout, it was a total 180 from the Dark Lady. The choice to be illiterate has made for some very good moments.

I never had much of a problem with the mushrooms.
There's all kinds of magic to go around, and Watoto's family was out there enough to have harnessed some form of it (not to mention they were taken, presumably for a reson).

>>10746087
i am going to take suggestions from this thread and improve the pic soon.

Thanks!

>>10748120
Thanks for your work!

>>10736845
I was wondering why they chose a German word for the name of that game, but there's not really a good, one-word English translation for it.

Real talk, should Yuul have suffered a Breaking Point from this? I've decided no. It would shake anyone to witness, but it's nothing close to the mind-fucking Tiara had to resist.

>>10752104
Wouldn't this be a hit to integrity or whatever they were using?

>>10752104
Yuul seemed hardly affected by it, but then again she has some kind of history with the professor and also tried to kill someone with a van before.

>>10752225
Calli is a bit weird mixing up the systems and terms. She calls it morality, at least.

>>10752104
Yeah, with how the heat is turning up it wasn't that extreme.

>>10752104
Yuul's been through more than the rest of the group imo, attacked by a true fae and almost killed, caught in a game of life or death with a vampire oldblood, >implied to have killed for Oopsie before...

>>10705429
NTA, but you're impressive at selling your game. Sasuga, anon

>>10760249
So that's what happened when Kronii and IRyS were chased around by Gura Gawr...

>>10746018
It's only inappropriate for Hunter though, it's a concept that would have worked in most other games. The messenger idea isn't anything special in the context of a prelude game IMO. It's got really good potential for stuff like Network Zero though, especially if you do a Midnight Roads chronicle, and in the games where the shadow stuff can be more relevant it works out really well. A Khaibit or Lygos Dragon that is a courier of important research they don't digitise is a fun idea, Nomads would be great for that if everyone was on board there.

>>10762301
>Bayeux Bros, fuck yeah!

>>10752104
"Shake anyone to witness" is what Breaking Points are there to simulate. Shaken is one of the main Conditions you get from Breaking Points, which you get pass or fail. So if you see something happen in a game and think that a PC would likely feel Guilty, Shaken, or Spooked then a Breaking Point should have happened. Just because Tiara suffered an extreme thing that caused a Breaking Point doesn't mean everything that causes them is of similar intensity. Breaking Points cover a really wide gamut of encounters. Chronicles of Darkness, the game not the line of games, uses a very basic version of Breaking Points but even then witnessing a violent supernatural murder is going to be a Breaking Point for most characters, and a pretty harsh one at that.

Hunter: The Vigil 2e does do things very differently on this front but they're not using those rules so it's not exactly relevant. Would still have been a Breaking Point under those systems but a lot of the specifics are different, I can get into it if you care.

What do you think the next mission will be about? I think it'll tie into the disappearance of Watoto's parents.

>>10772453
I bet it'll be about one of the characters backstory plots.
I might make sense for the most pressing one to be addressed first, but ya know, ya boy ain't to good at things sometimes.

>>10767297
The STV 2e Lygos made me want to play one so bad. They look like a load of fun.

>>10772453
Other supernaturals, of course. What is the second safest hunting target after vampires?

>>10776115
Vampires aren't the safest thing to hunt as it is, and they didn't really do any hunting either. Slashers, low potency monsters, low rank ephemeral entities, and the like are all much less dangerous than VtR vamps. Most Deviants will also be less of a threat than Vampires too, although they can also be way way worse.

>>10772453
It'll likely be another mission to choose from. They'll get some cash, gear up, and be ready to kick ass this time.

>>10772453
More importantly, will Watoto and Tiara have secks without two Vampires ruining the moment

>>10772453
Might be the carnival / festival arc Calli has been cooking up recently, though I get the feeling she wants that one to be crazy memorable, and won't pull it out until later.

>>10779232
Wait, there's planned plots we know about? When did that happen?

>>10780721
Mori talked about them, but I don't know where anymore.

>>10779232
>carnival / festival arc
Sin-Eater time.

>tfw you will NEVER have Tiara ride you cowgirl while Uhu pecks at your nutsack
>tfw you will NEVER mating press Yuul without a condom in the back of the mushroom van
>tfw you will NEVER have Watoto give you a foot-cream laced handjob while sodomizing you with a mushroom
>tfw you will NEVER make love to Scout in a righteous missionary position while she chokes and slaps you

It's not fair, Hunterbros. We ask for so little...

>>10780721
>>10783072
Brainstorm session with the deadbraps. We just spitballed, but the main theme that came out was a yearly carnival hosted by the Mythton locals. Calli wanted there to be an ensemble cast of the bros and some of the previous groups encountered before, but it was a pretty crazy brainstorm session, so who knows what she'll make of it all.

>>10785427
Does it help if I only ask for one of the four? Maybe it will happen...

>>10785927
Well, basically all the NPCs from the tutorials and the first sessions were fun, so I'm looking forward to their return.

>>10709899
I wish Luna played Tales of Equestria with me...had a great time with it back in the day.

>>10752104
Yuul "taken care of" someone at least once before, least you forget.

>>10785427
find a girl that has those characteristics
talk to her about something interesting.
show that you genuinely like her
secks will happen at some point.

focusing on the ephemeral is the domain of loss.

>>10792522
>Tales of Equestria
>/mlp/ has shown it's head. hmm.
don't run off: what were the type of sessions you ran in? It's pretty much a cream puff pillow fight, without good plot tweaks.
As it stands ToE is a very breakable game with no granularity, but one can tweak a better skill system and allow for merits and flaws, for a more rounded experience.
ToE would adapt to Hololive style gaming very well.

however...

the games that really seemed interesting were "The Equestria Line 1940" and "Call of Equestria"

>>10793473
I don't think anyone was looking to break the system or to dive deep into the crunch back then; our GM didn't even watch the show fully, we told him about the World and what we liked and he made up some basic premise (generic evil beings from the woods being a threat, searching for lost person, helping out with a conflict in town) for us to slowly resolve while RPing a lot.

>>10794015
OK.
Ponies discovering the lost secrets of Nyarlathotep would be cool...
>Sanity loss
>You found her shed.

Bump

>>10785927
If the carnivale isn't a Sin-Eater carnivale I will be sorely disappointed. Why do a carnivale at all if you're not gonna introduce the party splat?

>>10800937
What's a Sin-Eater?

>>10803009
Sin-Eaters are a type of Bound. The Bound are people who died but came back by making a Bargain with a powerful ghost called a Geist. The Bargain binds the two together, giving the Bound incredibly powers and the Geist a permanent anchor to the mortal world. Sin-Eaters tend to be about helping ghosts move on, creating cults and secret societies dedicated to their ideas and ideals on death, and trying to unfuck the Underworld a little.

>>10793263
Good advice for three of them. Now tell us how to get a Watoto

>>10811303

>>10813173

>Watoto's race unspecified
>artists go with what they know
I see no problem here.

>>10808337
That sounds pretty cool. Hopefully they show up

>>10814952
They're very cool. I'd like to see them in combat too, they've got a host of really fun abilities to play with, and I want to see one get shot to shit. Thanks to being bound to a Geist their bodies hold Plasm, physical ghost goo suffused with the power of the dead, and they can use it to bounce back from any injury. So long as they've got plenty of Plasm to spend they're impossible to kill. You can shove a grenade in their mouth and pull the pin and they might take no damage on their Health track.

That's not to say their head doesn't fucking explode though, because there will be a shower of vicersa as you'd expect. It's just that when you look back at them thick milky-white ooze will be where their flesh should be, it holds the shards of their skull together, and recreates the bits that can't be found. Instead of what happened in the mansion, when Tiara shot out an eye, the Sin-Eater doesn't really care. They lose an eye and a thick fluid will seep into the wound and makes them a new one. So long as they have the Plasm they can spend as much of it as they need to downgrade damage. Sin-Eaters also have in-built Plasm sources. So there is really great fodder for some gruesome descriptions.

If you do manage to kill one, they really don't like to stay dead. Their Geist becomes unleashed and has free reign to fuck you up. If you don't completely destroy the Geist then the Sin-Eater just come back, even if you turned them to a fine red mist. However, there are ways around that. If you kill one of the Bound in a fashion resonant with their original death, they stay dead, if you kill one with their Geist's Bane then they also stay dead. Damage dealt with their Geist's Bane can also not be mitigated as above.

Their abilities are also really cool aesthetically, it's stuff like merging with your Geist and having it distend your flesh into weaponry, Plasmic tendrils that attach to people like puppet strings to control them, thick fog that clings to them and makes them ghostly in appearance and ability, and more besides. Hopefully she'll look into 2e rules for this if she goes that route. 1e had some great ideas but is an incredibly clusterfuck.

>>10812145
Anon, you already are Watoto....

>>10813356
clown world, now in your RPG streams

>>10817553
So, Geists Fuck Vampires.
or is it just more like "Virgin Kindred, Chad Geist"?

>>10820514
Vampires are about at the bottom of the splats by rough power-level. It's not super cut and dry but kind of looks sort of like this.
>Mage > Mummy > Demon >>> Werewolf > Promethean > Changeling > Bound* > Vampire > Deviant > Hunter.
Those are just averages and you can pretty much make any splat beat any other really. At least for the stuff below Demon. The Bound might be better on average than a Vampire but it really depends on what you've chosen to give them. The Bound get a lot of non-combat stuff where as a Vampire's powerset (Disciplines) can all be bent towards combat with the exception of Auspex.

Both have their upsides and downsides though, while a Bound has amazing regenerative abilities they still take lethal damage from firearms and weapons, Vampires just take Bashing. But Vampires take Aggravated damage from fire while the Bound only take Lethal. Buut Vampires healing more Bashing per Vitae than a Bound can downgrade per Plasm, but the Bound is downgrading the damage as it comes in, meaning they take less, where as the Vampire is healing it after it's dealt. Buuut the Bound can't heal damage after it's dealt through baseline traits. Buuuuuut Vampires go torpid when they take full lethal damage which doesn't happen to the Bound and they come back after they die. That's just the differences in Health and healing too, that's not getting into powerset, merits, nor other traits they may possess. Always tends to be a lot of stuff like that. If you want to hear more about healing you can see this long post I did, although it notably doesn't go into the Bound.

https://archive.nyafuu.org/vt/thread/10054343/#q10098524

*this is what Sin-Eaters are. GtS is notable for you not playing the first bit of the name. You don't play a Geist you play a person bound to one, which are called the Bound and Sin-Eaters are the PC variety of them. Those that protect the dead from things like Reapers and the Underworld are Sin-Eaters, there are other kinds of Bound out there. This sort of divide is found in almost most all the games. I can go over that if you care, or want a bump for the thread.

>>10817553
>>10821645

Geist sounds pretty awesome. Are the hierarchies among Bound similar to Vampires, with older ones being stronger, or is it based more on strength of the Geist?

Between Huntermyth and all the descriptions from this thread I feel bad for sleeping on WoD for so long. I'm branched out to other none D&D systems, but I always passed WoD because of the version confusion and the erp reputation. I hope I can convince my group to play it next.

>>10824182
I'm very tired this might be a ramble.
>Geist sounds pretty awesome. Are the hierarchies among Bound similar to Vampires, with older ones being stronger, or is it based more on strength of the Geist?
Neither really, Sin-Eater society is fairly disparate. Lots of different cults and societies with ideologies that have enough common ground to not cause constant conflict and facilitate the sharing of knowledge. Each of these societies, or Krewes, has it's own internal structure. There is a guy at the top, but he might just be smart and charismatic rather than old and power. Might be chosen by election, chosen by the last boss, a duel, or trial, or any sort of rite of succession you can think of. As there are people at the top, there are people at the bottom too. But that sort of thing doesn't really stretch out past the Krewe itself. A major theme of Geist is community and that's sort of how things work for them, they're not a neo-feudal society like half of Vampire tends to be, they're a community. They're a very fun one at that. Sure every Krewe has it's territory, it's not always all buddy-buddy. and you'll likely have a few secrets or two, but you all look out for each other when it counts. If one of the Bound gets killed by another then it's an eye for an eye and most Krewes will pitch in so long as they're not against you or for the other side. 1e also had some rules for Tier 2 and 3 Krewes in much the same way as Hunter does, but it's not really a big thing there. Only a couple of pages on it, although 1e's core book does contain a good deal of information that didn't make it into 2e so it's worth a read either way.

They don't even really have a masquerade like most other splats, at least not in the same fashion. Even then not all of them do. Sin-Eaters aren't really a secret, they're just a secret society. Even then that terminology can be strained to breaking point. It's often less "Sin-Eaters don't let people know they exist" and more "Sin-Eaters don't let people know what they do". Especially on the bottom rungs. You might be part of a Krewe without knowing they're anything more than so strange club. The lore reason for why is pretty simple, if you notice the dead then the dead notice you. They've also got more than their fair share of enemies if things were public, any two-bit necromancer, concerned citizen, worried politician, or religious official might not be so eager on letting people talk to the dead, or they might be all too eager to do it themselves, or hell, even join them. Krewe Archetypes like the Mourners and Necropolitians both seek worlds where the dead and the living are always in contacts as well.

On the note of community Geist is the most upbeat of any WoD or CofD game out there. I wasn't calling them the party splat upthread for nothing. It's Carnivale and samba beats, Dia del los Muertos and sugar skulls, Halloween bonfires and candy apples, riots of colour and music and all that's good in life. It's a game about death, and that always involves tragedy, but it's not a game of wallowing in angst it's about celebrating the life that lead up to it and all the pleasures thereof. You died once, you're going to die again, but for right now you're alive and life has a lot to offer. There are a lot of poor saps who died, stayed dead but left something of themselves behind. So you'll help those move on to something else if you can, because Geist is a game of empathy as well. It's not just the dead you'll be helping either, you got a second chance to right the wrongs of your own life. So there is always hope that things will be better, you'll be healing broken things where you find them, and taking joy in all that life has offered and has yet to offer. There will be rough patches and hardships, as there are in any story, but at the end of the day it's all about hope, joy, and empathy and righting the wrongs of the past to make something better in the future.

>Between Huntermyth and all the descriptions from this thread I feel bad for sleeping on WoD for so long.
No time to start like the present. Just pick up a book that sounds fun and give it a read. I'd personally start with something like Vampire the Requiem 2e, Werewolf the Forsaken 2e, or Changeling the Lost 2 those are great and easy to get into. Hell, even Deviant the Renegades if you think your group is good with some of the complexities of that game. All of them work more or less, although I'd warn against Demon, Mummy, and Mage unless you're very comfortable with a lot of complexity, weirdness, and games that ask a little more than most for RP. All the oWoD Revised/20th stuff is great too if that's your thing. Depends what really appeals to you and your group. If you care to tell me what you like, what you don't like, and the sorts of themes and ideas that sound cool from WoD I can narrow it down for you.

It might be autism but I really do "enjoy" (for the lack of the better word) fixing art of those retards.

>Mummy second highest
>mfw some crusty nigga wrapped in toilet paper is stronger than LITERAL DEMONS
Yea, I know mummies probably have plethora of abilities to boost their rank. Just odd seeing that archetype anywhere near the top when most settings they rarely break mid-tier.

I think it is still a few shades too green unless if he has a layer of moss on his skin.

This is my go-to for canon Watoto's appearance. Artist followed the description to the letter, but kept it within the realm of who he is supposed to be.

>>10830579
That's what in eastern europe poeple call "groundish" complexion.

Bumpu

Going back on the rewatch, I forgot how solid everyone's tutorial sessions were. Watoto's definitely the weakest, but a 7/10 being the lowpoint is saying something.

Kino art bamp.

It's not rape if Kiara liked it

Kiara is on a break right now but does anyone know a reason why TTRPG shouldn't be returning next week?

There shouldn't be, no other big events are happening for Myth either.
