role playing ideas thread

[Umbra of Chaos]

It is fascinating how you would rather hold onto the tattered remains of your pride instead of just admitting that you were wrong.

Maybe, let's ignore him and hijack the thread so it becomes WoD thread, since nobody cares about his RP ideas anyway.

If you have an idea for an WoD RP you actually intend to run, then go ahead. Otherwise, go make a thread for discussing WoD elsewhere.

If you guys would actually pay attention instead of shoving words in my mouth then you might actually understand what I'm talking about. But since I really am sick of being attacked I'll cut it out here. Have fun assuming what I'm talking about since you won't listen.

Please. Repeat your statements so we don't assume. Give us the facts Lantz.

Have you read any nWoD books?

[Kat]

Well, I made a thread, and the game will be glorious because of Nachos.

[YOLF]

Well, thread topic and disagreements aside - I would ask that everyone please avoid referring to other forumers with potentially offensive language, mmmkay? Even though this may come a little late.

[lantzblades]

Ok number four then.

there have been three points to this topic the whole time.

1 old wod

2 new wod

3 new wod under onyx path.

I'm saying that nwod hasn't changed fluff wise. Obviously old wod is different. I'm referring to two and three here, YOLF And the rest keep talking and one and two as if I'm wrong. They have their subjects wrong. That's why I keep saying pay attention.

at the end of the day they all suffer the problems I listed. Perhaps it's something that just isn't for me, I like vampires, magic, ghosts, aliens, cowboys and star fighters, giant robots and the like though so I can't think it's the fluff that makes me hate the world of darkness, I have a broad range for RP and enjoy basically anything so maybe it's the mechanics or the pace or those mixed with the other stuff but I think it's stupid.

in particular the nwod isn't something I got heavily involved in, I played a few games but it's just dull. I don't own any of the books but at the end of the day the point where this started was trying to challenge my opinion on demons and tell me my subjective enjoyment was wrong. So at it's core this discussion is just a pointless tangent.

[Umbra of Chaos]

What is your definition of fluff?

[Kat]

Fluff for Lantz is not what tabletop community in general thinks to be.

Fluff is everything aside of crunch.

[lantzblades]

Fluff is story, setting and so on, every version of D&D for example is different but 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 3.5 for example are basically still in the same world 4th on the other hand is wildly different and if I recall correct greyhawk is not the main setting of it.

the fluff in nwod hasn't changed since Onyx path got it, although I admit I'm not 100% sure and it 2nd edition if it really has just come out, I've been collecting splat books, not main books (shadow run is a bastard to find) lately.

[YOLF]

(...) the fluff hasn't changed from Old WoD or New Wod, (...)

That was less us misunderstanding, and more you mentioning the subject matter vaguely for a while, and then explaining it wrongly in the post quote above.

I would recommend trying to be more direct in explaining yourself in the future, to avoid misunderstandings like these.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

You're full of shit. Compare Requiem to Mascarade and you can tell the fluff is entirely different. So's the Crunch.

[lantzblades]

What are you talking about Arch? Masq is old, I already said that old and new are different.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Magos he's talking about Requiem under WW compared to Requiem under OP.

Magos he's talking about Requiem under WW compared to Requiem under OP.

Even Requiem under WW was different system wise. All those old clans? Gone. Blood points? Renamed. Generation? Ditched entirely. Your average vampire? Weaker. The world spanning conspiracies involving the apocolypse? Nope, don't see any here.

The OP rules  update is even MORE distant from Mascarade. So no, lantz, you can go fuck yourself.


And the OP and WW Requiem fluff is very different. If you'd fucking read the books you'd see why.
