Out of curiosity I checked around for other good TTRPG streams but it’s tough. I’m not a critical role fan. And with HoloEN there’s almost a years history between the players and audience that can’t be easily replicated so even their tutorials are top tier entertainment. Also there are a lot of absolutely dire streams with bad/boring/annoying GMs that have like 20 CCVs out there that make me sad, although if they are having fun more power to them.

What I’m saying is I’m in withdrawal. Help

We don't know what it's made from so no one can say. All we've seen is that it's a +2 lethal weapon, which is not really much to write how about at all. Even in oWoD that's not all that impressive, it's just standard sword stats, and in nWoD 1e that's worse than standard sword stats. As for the metal it could be a million things but we haven't actually seen what it does. People are suggesting it'll be Siderite though, not that I buy it, but if it is then it's still just doing crowbar but it'll ignore Durability on objects.

>>6033124
I'd rule it as improvised fire axe. That's easily the best place for it, but you can say this pick was built to be a weapon and just rule it as a fire axe. They're using CofD rules now, so it's functionally doing the same as a crowbar. Damage is just auto-successes after you hit in CofD. So crowbars are +2 weapons, they're +2B weapons in nWoD but that is extra dice instead. All weapons in CofD are now lethal too. From everything we've seen and been told it's just a crowbar so far.

Does lethal, unless you're trying to pull your punches. But the option for bashing instead of lethal is an ST discretion thing, as it doesn't make sense in all contexts. It would make sense here, but not if your intent and action mismatched what you were trying to do mechanically. "Otherwise, the only way to avoid dealing lethal damage is to stop using a lump of metal or wood to inflict trauma". Y'know, like you'd actually do IRL.

Well if the book says so I won't argue. But what's bashing damage then for humans? Falling on your ass? Hitting toe on a piece of furniture? Because any trained combatant can easily inflict internal bleeding with fists and knee/elbow to the head is easily fatal IRL.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6034763
Trained combatants either have a high unarmed, or martial arts, which allow them to inflict more damage (possibly just stacking enough damage in a couple of hits that it's lethal damage.)

[Anonymous No.]

>>6034763
Mostly just unarmed damage. Or people pulling blows with weapons. Trained combatants get access to ways to make unarmed lethal, as well as overflow damage upgrading bashing to lethal.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6034763
Falling, getting hit by an unarmed human(feet, fists, or teeth), ballistic armor reduces lethal damage to bashing damage.

I think Kiara's crafting is rudimentary at best. She went for a power fantasy gunslinger with a bird companion that is essentially acting as 1/2 a player with how active it is.

Scout and Watoto are surprisingly well-rounded for being newbies to TT. The only PC who I worry about is Yuul. Vehicular homicide is nice, but I doubt Calli is going to have all of their encounters take place in a demolition derby or on the interstate. Ina had better think up some Macguyver-tier stuff to make in combat (gatorade + matches = bomb) or she's going to be deadweight.

Gura seems super into it. And despite Ina's generally "sleepy" personality, doing this was one of her goals she listest when she debuted in hololive. I think Kiara will just be happy that she can collab with everyone so I doubt she'd bail. Ame is the only one I worry about. I can't tell if she's generally just not into the idea or if her anxiety is getting the better of her.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6048833
During CC everyone was acting as though Gura didn't give a shit, not knowing that she had just come out of a 12-hour endurance stream and was dead on her feet (or ass, as it were), so the first draft she made was a complete mess. Now everyone's money is on Amelia. TTRPG requires a certain level of patience to enjoy and immerse oneself in, and Amelia has NO patience at all. She is ADD adderall zoomer personified. Couple this with how solitary she is + her lingering discomfort in any collabs larger than three holos, she's definitely the weakest link right now. But I honestly think she will suspend all of that and do her best to get into it, especially since all the others are massively invested.

Here's a big question to all of /vt/. Let's say someone drops out and the only replacement they can get is an outsider like Pikamee or Bronzeferret, or even a Holostar (if any of them have good enough English). Would the viewers and/or management be okay with that? Even if the newcomer was intensely passionate about it?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6048833
>>6049401
>>6049550
Where is this whole, Ame doesn't like the TTRPG come from? If is about how she handled Watoto then she played him as one would play a goblin like merchant. If it has to do with not adding anything to her tutorial then that has to do with her being a newcomer, same with Ina.

We'll see when the season starts if there's improvement but it's too soon to say of anyone dropping out on TTRPG.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6049996
It's not that Ame doesn't like it, the whole process of playing a TTRPG runs counter to her personality and pace of life. These games require some pre-thought, some prep, and a good bit of knowledge on hand (like having your perks and stat sheet ready to access when needed). Amelia is so damn squirrelly and unfocused. Not to say she can't get into it, she's just a fish out of water here.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6049550
>Would the viewers and/or management be okay with that? Even if the newcomer was intensely passionate about it?
I think the numbers and intesne fan engagement prove this to be a Calli thing primarily. The characters have not met yet and half the players were dead on their feet the last time they were togetehr so it's not like you'd be getting rid of anything overly entrance.

It's going to be a learning process. If Calli is lurking this thread, craft up some "Please forgive me, I am a trainee" tags to put on everyone's models (and on Ina's forehead) during the sessions. Hopefully it will keep the spergs and backseaters in chat to a minimum when it's established it's not a CR production.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6052195
If you mean "against each other" then it's likely not going to happen. You've barely seen these characters interact with anybody else, you won't know what character sabotage is and PCs only come into full realisation when you play them. Anybody who doesn't allow their character to change for the betterment of the group is a poor player, and so almost every character will change. It's not sabotage, it's playing the game as intended.

Several autists were REEEE'ing in the /tg/ thread during Kiara's tutorial session for getting banned for sperging out in the chat every time Calli or Kiara slipped up or forgot something. Their autism was inspiring to behold. And Gura's chat kept reminding her that she couldn't read, and her actions with the pickaxe had a +2 effect on them. In Gura's case chat was helping for the most part (I think it was them who also told her to use the belt + bandanna combo to save the doc?).

Eh I dunno if it’s doomposting. The hardest part of any TTRPG is getting people to actually show up regularly. After a while you get a sense for the ones likely to flake and make plans for if and when it happens. To me Ame seems by far the least engaged and the most likely to dip. Which is fine, nothing worse than a player cancelling at the last second/showing up late, being on their phone the whole time, asking what’s going on during sessions. If she’s not invested she can just die in a blaze of glory and step out. Everyone’s happier that way. Mori already planted to multiple seeds in and out of the narrative so people can leave guilt free.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6059261
Even Mori said that there's no problem if someone leaves and that the game isn't for everyone. I won't be pissed if Ame leaves since watching her play something she clearly doesn't like wouldn't be enjoyable.
And it's already amazing she tried. I've been trying to get a group of friends to play some DnD with me but they don't want to, not even giving it a try.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6059261
I think Amelia is engaged and invested. Someone who wasn't paying attention would not have called back to the camouflage mushroom, or set up reporting only half their income as a form of savings by deception, or remembered to bring the guard dogs. I suspect she just didn't know about the ability to speak both OOC and IC. And she's kind of shy and quiet in any collab that doesn't involve just her and Gura. If you look at her prior collabs with Calli, she's about the same level of rambunctious as the TTRPG tutorial. She'll be okay.

But I don't think Mori will just toss them through the grinder, unless the girls get too cocky and get tangled in a mess they can't get out of, luckly she has plenty of failsafes in the form of the many NPCs set up (like the Brohood).

If they're careful and smart? Noone's dying. If they act dumb? Might be first session. It's not a computer game, there's no failsafes and scripts to steer you.

Chronicles is just doesn't have the same cool conspiracies, factions or world state World had. The mechanics are marginally better aside from obnoxious beat farming but the splats are very narrow and bargain bucket.

[Anonymous No.]

The first part is fair. I 100% disagree, but you're entitled to your opinion. Well, except the world state bit. But I also felt like that held the games back from being better games. The second part is a little insane though. Marginally better is a massive understatement, it's in no way controversial that CofD has a much better ruleset. Really going against the grain on that one. Beat farming isn't really a thing, you can obviously do it in some circumstances but it's not more egregious than the power gaming min maxing possibly in any oWoD game. It's also totally disassociated from the context of the rules and narrative. Bad players will make anything bad. Splats are a little more focused, but oWoD was pretty much just everything all the time to see what sticks. Bargain bucket is a nonsense insult.

As someone who is passingly familiar with oWOD that nWOD event existed was a complete surprise to me, which I feel is somewhat indicative of the the impact it has had. It also feels like during the TTRPG it’s pretty common for the viewers to mark out about something Mori added to the campaign only for someone to chime in with “actually x isn’t a thing anymore. It’s been replaced by y”. And my reaction has almost always been “Huh. That’s not as cool. Fuck it looks like Mori decided to stick to the old lore let’s go!”

I don’t think I’m alone in this. Paradox/Onyx path has a real marketing problem on their hands really. The weird edition naming system does not help.

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

>>6076992
Yeah, the full story is that western and eastern vampires are warring over India, the western vampires start making cannon fodder en masse, the cannon fodder dying sends feedback up the age chain that wakes up the oldest western vampires in India, those oldest vampires dying ends up waking up the founder of the clan, the eastern vampires send their heaviest hitters that make a literal soulstorm to block out the sun so they can fight, the mages end up taking notice and go DEFCON 1 and nuke the battlefield to disperse the storm and use satellites to focus sunlight like a giant magnifying glass to kill all the vampires in the area. Shit was wild. There's no real equivalent stories in nWoD yet.

[Anonymous No.]

I feel like WOD is a pretty newbie friendly system compared to D&D. You could even simplify merits or add one per session to make it easier. ID would also have the EN girls as a template. That actually sounds like a great idea. The Indonesian/SEA angle would also give it a great unique twist. But it would require a lot of the GM. Are any of them familiar enough with TTRPGs in general to pull it off? Or they could just accept it’s super scuffed and grow into it like…. Almost every other ttrpg group among friends in history. But then I worry they would be compared unfavorably to Mythbreakers. Getting the group invested early is key. If they have a bad experience it could fall apart before it gets momentum.

The tutorial sessions have great 1:1 collabs, let everyone learn, and get good numbers too. Just a ton of work for the ST. And then there’s the language question. You know there will be some butthurt especially if it’s SEA flavored. On the other hand SEA has a ton of absolutely batshit insane myths and urban legends tailor made for a WOD campaign.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6078801
I remember there was some language controversy, but I think the ID purist audience could probably be mollified about the campaign being mostly in English if the ID flavour of the setting is unmistakable. But it does open up the problem of the insane amount of prep work that would be needed, though. Both oWoD and nWoD have a blind spot in regards to the events of SEA. There's little material that directly touches on it in either game. The setting would need to almost be entirely homebrew.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6079025
That actually seems like a good way to take the focus off combat. Investigating a local haunting. Getting information from suspicious locals. Crafting charms and weapons for its weakness. There’s no baggage with preexisting material they can make their ghosts and demons as strong or as weak as they want. Maybe they could crowdsource material as well in addition to art?

CofD does a good job of providing a good deal of SEA setting info. Just to explain what this list means. Anything with a date attached is from the Dark Eras books, which are historical setting supplements. Everything else is from the core books though, bar the Chronicles example which is from the Contagion Chronicle. That's another setting book that is built to provide settings, scenarios, and some mechanics to allow for all the games to play a chronicle together. The whole horror building system, and ephemeral entities are built to be pretty culturally agnostic too. Very little you couldn't pull off with that.

Vietnam is really only mentioned as the spot where the Vietnam War happened, and the effects of the war on the organizations headquartered in Japan and China. I can't really find anything mentioning Indonesia and Malaysia, let alone Papua New Guinea. There's this triangular area between Bangladesh, China, and Australia that has minimal coverage in both nWoD and oWoD.

There is also Bloodlines of the First Kingdom of Thailand, an nWoD vampire setting. Basically a Dark Eras setting but in 1e. But stuff like this isn't exactly uncommon, there are swaths of Europe, South America, and Africa without any singular representation. It's really not hard to stat stuff up though, it's about as painless as you could possibly make it and half the point of CofD is making up the setting as it specifically relates to your particular Chronicle. Every US setting in the CofD books has got something unique going on. It all works as inspiration regardless of where you set a Chronicle too. Just going back to horrors, HtV2e has the Cheonyeo Gwishin of South Korea, the Devalpa of Iran, the Mongolian Death Worm, the Nekomata of Japan, and the Teke-Teke of Japan all statted up as examples of how to use it's system.

The number of successes determines the degree of success- how well the task has been performed.
Certain tasks might be so difficult they require more than one success.
Opposed rolls (when acting against another character) compare the number of successes to determine the victor.

Nope one sucess means the action was a success, unless is opppsition in which case rhe action only succed if you have nore success than your oponent,
Otherwise the number of success are irrelevant but if you manage to get 5 success the action become a exceptional success an you recieve something extra or the cost of the action is lesser (certain powers have rules about what 5 success give you otherwise the ST must decide)

There are three cases:

Only in the second case is a roll necessary. Building the rocket would have been in the third case, but it was supposed to be an example to show Gura how rolls works.

There are also extended actions. Generally things like crafting or breaking down doors will require X successes. Each roll you make represents a certain amount of time passing.

System is designed around bog-standard RPG of meet quest, navigate area/dungeon, kill monsters, get reward. It's better designed around combat than it is with social stuff. This encourages more number crunching/min-maxing but not necessarily a bad thing, it's just that newbies get suckered into this and absolutely refuse to try stuff outside of the loop.

I've watched too much Japanese vtubers and not playing Call of Cthulhu lightheartedly that I can't look at it like a horror game anymore. Even DnD is scarier than CoC from my perspective at this point.

I'd generally say CofD, not because it's a better game for investigation and mystery though. CoC edges that one out, although it's pretty close all in all for my money. But CofD has the pretty distinct advantage of not being Lovecraft, which is a thing that as really seeped into all sorts of genres and media. Lovecraft is a much larger part of the zeitgeist than CofD is, which means people are more familiar with it. That sort of thing tends to make CoC a weird game to play, it works best when you've either go no information or you love the shit out of the Mythos. For groups like that I'd suggest CoC, but for most people who will sort of know about Cthulhu then I think CofD tends to have better mystery stuff going on. Way more flexible too.

Just because no one said it, the actual value of the result doesn't make a difference. An 8, 9, or 10 are all worth 1 success. Most rolls by default just have "10-Again" on them, which means when you roll a 10 you get a success and you can then reroll that dice for a chance at another success. You can theoretically roll an infinite amount of successes like this if you just keep getting 10s. 9-Again, and 8-Again also exist which work the same but for those values, and above. So if you have 8-Again on a roll every success you generate from a roll gives you a chance to get a further success.

Yes. You only need one success to do the thing you were trying to do. On a standard roll extra successes only give a mechanical benefit when you get 5 successes, which gives you an Exceptional Success which comes with some benefit. Otherwise the amount of successes you get is more of a descriptive tool. Like if you want to push over a wardrobe to barricade a door, 1 success might look like you push with all your might and barely manage to topple it over, and 4 successes could be you making it look effortless. The result is the same but the competency in the narrative is different.

With that 6 dice Perception roll, you have 88.24% to see whatever it is there is to be seen that triggered the roll. But plenty of things to modify these rolls, so if it's darker, or you're sprinting through a room, or some dude through sand in your eyes, the likelihood of you seeing whatever it was decreases. Which is represented by rolling less dice. The inverse is true and things like flashlights, being really cautious, knowing what the thing your might see could be, etc, might all give you more dice to roll. So more dice doesn't strictly equate to a better result, but it does equate to more consistent results and the ability to off-set penalties. You really don't want to drop below 1 dice on a roll.

I see your point, but if a person only kinda knows about Cthulhu, they are still in for a ride (at least if the gm is familiar with the mythos) since there are tens of other deities in lovecraft's cycle and hundreds of other lesser monsters to use. Cthulhu is not always the antagonistic force behind it all. And even then, all the average person knows about cthulhu is like "oh big squid dude who sleeps a lot, something about starts I guess". And still, a CoC game can very well have no references to lovecraft at all and still work as an "ordinary" horror/investigation game

[Anonymous No.]

>>6108863
Oh yeah, of course. But when you hear "Call of Cthulhu" and most people having this passing familiarity of what that's going to mean it sets expectations. I mean, we've even seen that with this game. Ame made a goblin because they heard "RPG" and went "Oh like fantasy". I'm not saying CoC is bad for it, I love the game, I'm just saying as a generality I think CofD is an easier time with mystery because of its lack of expectations. You can also strip the Mythos off of CoC but at that point I would be all in on the CofD camp, the Mythos is a pretty large part of that game and it's not built to be setting-agnostic.

The actual way to handle this in play is super simple. You just tell the player they can't do it. It's clearly well beyond the realms of the possible. In the example roll an Exceptional Success would just reduce the time, or maybe it'll fly faster or whatever. But it's a generally poor example of a task. However, if you had a task like this that was possible it'd be a special kind of roll called an "Extended Action". These are used for complex and time-consuming tasks and require a series of rolls to complete.

It's pretty simple all in all but is more complicated than just standard rolls. Dice pool is determined the same way, but you need to note down you relevant Stat + Skill + Specialty (id you have one) as that value is the amount of rolls you get to attempt the task. The ST sets the amount of successes required to achieve what you're attempting, then sets a time frame for the task.
>Most actions require between five and twenty successes. Five reflects a reasonable action that competent characters can achieve with the right tools and knowledge. Ten represents a difficult action that’s still realistic for a professional in a field. Twenty represents a very difficult action that even a particularly skilled character will have trouble pulling off.
So this is certainly more on the 20 side of things, and I'd argue it's more than that. But lets stick with 20. And we'll say it's going to take a few weeks to complete so there will be 1 week interval between each roll to represent them working on it. So in Scout's case, it would be Int + Crafts to design a rocket, this mean she gets 5 rolls to accumulate the amount of successes she would need. So they'd make a roll, count their successes up, do work for a week, and repeat. She has 5 rolls to accumulate the 20 successes needed. This is very hard for her as she averages 2 successes per roll. If they get no successes on one of those rolls they can choose to abandon the project, or keep going but gain a Condition that might make things harder.

There are rules for building equipment that work differently to this, but those rules aren't designed for anything like this. They're stuff you can do fairly fast, between two scenes, not something like a rocket. You could also find a friendly Sin-Eater and show them a picture of a rocket.


>>6100049
Just to expand upon this. Even if a thing is possible you might not always want to roll. If there isn't any sort risk, time-pressure, or drama to it and the outcome of failure won't be interesting you can just let them do it. Picking a lock in a vampire's haven needs a roll, picking a lock for practice in your bedroom doesn't.

To add to other answers, it is popular to the point where almost everybody's first idea of a TTRPG in terms of practically everything is D&D hence why there was a lot of fantasy themed Mythbreakers fanart and Watoto being a literal goblin for some.

Oh, it's a thing Bounds* with access to The Tomb can do. The Tomb is one of their unique powers (Haunts), and it focuses on the recreation of objects linked to death, or the repair of destroyed objects. At it's base effect they need a piece of the destroyed object, but at 2 dots they can use a photo or video of the object instead. There is a hard cap of Size 18 on what they can reproduce with this though, and that equates to something a little smaller than light airplanes, yachts, or semi trucks. So no rockets really. There are a lot of other effects it has access too though.

I guess the thread is almost over so this derailment doesn't matter, but how does the Tomb change with Keys?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6118613
Oh, it doesn't. There isn't a seperate version of each Haunt for each Key anymore. It was cool but a massive mess. Keys do still effect how things manifest narratively but it's not a mechanical thing anymore. At least, not in the same way. Each Key now has a Resonance, and a Doom. They're also now tied to Attributes, not Skills, and when you use a Key you gain Plasm equal to your dots in its Attribute. Plasm gained this way ignores your max Plasm and the limit on how much Plasm you can spend in a turn, so using a Key can make a Haunt more powerful than would otherwise be possible. Additionally you can add the unlock Attribute to the Haunt's dice pool. When you unlock a Haunt with a Key in a situation that matches its Resonance you get Exceptional Successes with that Haunt with 3 Successes instead of 5. A Key's Doom applies when you unlock a Haunt and either don't get an Exceptional Success or don't spend 1 Willpower, if neither of those things happened the Sin-Eater in now Doomed (attached). Each Key applies a secondary effect to your Doomed condition. So for some examples of each.

>Key of Beasts
>Unlock Attribute: Wits
>Resonance: The Key of Beasts is resonant when called upon in a place where humanity is no longer the dominant force: abandoned buildings inhabited by nothing but rats and roaches, untrammeled wilderness, or city parks after dark, for instance. Additionally, using a Haunt on an animal target always counts as resonant.
>Doom: Automatically fail an action targeting an animal, or any action an animal could plausibly hinder (e.g. a barking dog could foil a Stealth action) to resolve this Doom.

>The Key of Stillness
>Unlock Attribute: Composure
>Resonance: The Key of Stillness is resonant when the target of a Haunt is unaware of the Bound’s presence, helpless, or if there is no one present in the scene except the Bound and the target.
>Doom: The next time your character speaks even a single word, resolve this Doom and the Condition from the Haunt she unlocked with the Key of Stillness. If she unlocked the Key without a Haunt, she instead gains the Mute Condition until the end of the chapter; when that Condition ends, resolve this Doom

I loved the ideas for 1e's power set but it did lead to a lot of jank and made any sort of expansion a nightmare. This works better as a game now. You can also unlock a Key without using a Haunt, gaining you the Plasm and the Doomed Condition. Useful if you need to downgrade damage as unlocking is reflexive. And you can also use Haunts without Keys, which is great as only 1 Key can be used to unlock 1 thing at once. You get the Key back when the Conditions resolve, so if you've used all your Keys you can still use your powers they're just worse.

Do people even watch streams? Kiara pretending to not speak English and being timid, eating beans in her empty apartment don’t jive with personality at all. She wouldn’t passive aggressively take picture of Vic she would be aggressive aggressive. Arguably once she got stressed out and Uhu was birdnapped she acted more like herself.

Ina is hiki but she can be assertive when she wants to be. She’s not actually a cute anime girl she just wrangles her fan base well. The running joke about her anger issues was only funny because there was a grain of truth to it.

Regardless the whole idea behind Hunter is normal people thrown in the crazy world of battling the supernatural. The slice of life segments were great for developing their backgrounds and character and most of the girls were invested enough they genuinely panicked a little when they started getting bodied by the occult. The real game hasn’t even started yet.
