    Vampire: the Requiem chat game

    Just a little bump / update - I've joined the werewolf game on the same site (with a different ST). That's been a lot of fun as well as my friends and I are currently stuck in a trap in the spirit world and have to figure out how to save ourselves. I wouldn't choose these games instead of real...

    Vampire: the Requiem chat game

    I recently joined a Vampire: the Requiem game. Typically, this is a tabletop or LARP game but I recently learned you can also do it via chat. Tabletop rules but some of the benefits of LARP - you act out what your character would do (giving descriptions while sitting at your computer but at...

    Celestial versus Earth: beyond spell choices

    In terms of the rules, where exactly earth magic comes from isn't defined as any specific part of the earth. So the source of a caster's earth magic could "include the wind hitting their sails and the ocean water under their boats." Also, I see navigational preference coming from character...

    Class Question

    I agree with you that players shouldn't know or care what's on another player's stat card. But I don't think group composition is based on personality only. Group composition sometimes has to be based on roles: (healer, front line, artillery, traps, whatever). This is different from team...

    New character questions

    Just want to point out that the scholar you mentioned earlier can do the same. Heck, even though my character doesn't produce anything I can still walk into a mod with enough scrolls and alchemy to blow everything up. So yeah, an artisan with a ton of production is cool but so is anyone else...

    New character questions

    Depends on your class and your team. Come in game with your wife and your friend and the three of you can be effective at low levels if you work well together. Class-wise, a 5th level fighter is normally going to feel more effective than a 5th level celestial scholar in a high APL game (because...

    Class Question

    In general I think fighters can easily find a group but of course being a good roleplayer and having good OOG skill are big factors here as well when it comes to getting invitations. And it depends on the group. If they have 5 and none can heal there's no way a fighter is getting the next spot...

    Roguey-types and options

    As you say, the rogue needs different tools for different situations. Gasses work very well in certain situations but not at all in others. Typically the rogue's go-to choice when possible. I would imagine that most baddies bugging you at breakfast are vulnerable to gasses. Next you're left with...

    Roguey-types and options

    I think rogues are OK as they are. They're supposed to be a class where you need to catch the other guy in a bad spot. A rogue isn't supposed to get caught in a bad situation. If they do they have dodges and evades and maybe alchemy or a few spells or some stun limbs or whatever. If a rogue...

    Let's go play AL this weekend!

    I don't like saying I'm gonna play Al - I don't think it flows and Al is a guy's name so it makes it kind of weird. I don;t always say Alliance but I think I'd say Alliance more than Al.

    Enough about rules... Lets share some War Stories!

    A few things come to mind but in particular there was a great line from Steve / Agnar after one particularly tough wave battle where there were some rezzes and the PCs had to retreat. I had been NPCing a typical fighter with a couple of 50 slays. Over the course of a few lives I slayed a few...

    Looking for a thread on in game expressions

    Yep - that thread is the one.

    You are very gracious Sir Ignatious and I look forward to our first meeting. May your sideburns be braided with golden thread, Moon Silvertongue

    ((sound of Natalia screaming))

    Sir Ignatious Skippio Vex, I am a baker and quite confident that my customers care little for the color of my tongue. You mention that the past is irrelevant but surely that is not directed at me? I believe I am the one arguing that past observations are irrelevant, after all. Ezri, Since you...

    Golems vs Earth Casters: Comparisons

    I think I saw that thread. Let's return to our regularly scheduled topic on whether the golem stuff gives celestialists something that other characters need an equivalent for in order to feel cool. I, for one, think they do. When we had the old damage aura no longer white talk, I thought that...

    ((sound of Natalia screaming))

    Actually my observations prove nothing, and, of course, your observations prove the same. Your belief that the necromancy in question had nothing to do with berserk and everything to do with the person seems to be based on your meaningless observations. In fact, for several years every earth...

    Looking for a thread on in game expressions

    I don't remember when but a while back we had a thread with in game jokes and expressions and insults and stuff. Anyone have a link handy?

    Golems vs Earth Casters: Comparisons

    Gotcha. I was reading the 60 points next to QSS as them counting as a 60 point golem you could store into. Anyhow it remains to be seen if this new 60 point plan is better than the old iron golem or bone golem decision. Certainly differentiating yourself is nice. Golem recognition we should be...

    ((sound of Natalia screaming))

    My dreaming friends. Please allow me to introduce you to some very flawed logic. Berserk makes casters lose control. How does that lead to the conclusion "they would have done it if no one was watching"? What we have here is a conclusion that does not follow. I don't lose all self control when I...

    Golems vs Earth Casters: Comparisons

    To do this we would have to nerf golems quite a bit. I'm not against that but I think we need to add some stuff for the other classes too. It would be cool to give other classes some nice toys to play with. I think that golems are overpowered. I won't say that it's always easy to be in a...
