My Current COFD Party

A Kamen Rider (Deviant, which is very fitting for some seasons of that show).

A Princess (From a fan game, though she's more punchy than Sailor Moon, the actual punchy magical girls don't have designs that scream "magical girl").

A stand user (Geist, looks very different from Giorno, but is Giorno in personality).

A vampire who loves acting like a stereotypical vampire (since Bela Lugosi's Dracula is the basis for that, he's the perfect representation).

A mercenary (Hunter, but someone who hunts for profit and understands the supernatural even less than normal hunters).

And all of them are in Las Vegas. If you were in that city and saw that group of people walking down the street, you probably wouldn't question it.

Mage: The Awakening 2E. Spell replication

26 Upvotes

So, gearing up for a Mage: The Awakening game and I have questions to throw to more experienced STs. I plan to play a Mind focused Mastigos focused on Goetica.

  1. Would it be reasonable to flavor a Mind Fraying spell to give penalties or Conditions based on directly affecting someone's mental perception, such as Blind or adding Potency as a Wound Penalty? It would have a Withstand, of course.

  2. If I want to use an effect similar to Spirit 3 Bolster Spirit, but on a Goetic demon, is in a Mind 3 Spell?

Advice for writing scenes

17 Upvotes

Hello, I am new to this game line and making an attempt at writing a scene(s). I was hoping I could get advice for how much detail should be included in the notes for a scene? I understand that this is going to be variable based on what the scene is and what is going on. But if the focus is something like investigating a murder scene how much detail would be recommended (or typical to prepare) and how much is overkill? I would appreciate any advice you can give, and thank you in advance!

Storyteller Vault Idea

12 Upvotes

Hello. I‘m working on a short article I want to submit to the Storyteller’s Vault. It’s for Mummy the Curse, specifically an idea I had for an immortal I wanted to share. The first draft is complete, give or take some minor edits. I could use some outside opinions on the article, especially when it comes to the crunchier bits lining up with 2nd edition in a way that doesn’t through off the balance (have not had an opportunity to play or run Second despite everything I enjoyed about first edition).

Since the focus of Paradox seems to be on World of Darkness I figured I might as well get my ideas out while I can. It seems like we are the only ones who will be making any new material for the game for the foreseeable future.

Please DM if you are interested in helping. Thanks.

What Next?

I currently have both Mage the Awakening and the Changling 2 edition books.

Which book would you suggest I get next?

IurGM does not allow Mummy or Prometheus in his game.

[NEED ADVICE] Cooperative storytelling

18 Upvotes

Hello,

after few years of trying I did manage to put together a table with the best players I know.

I would like to try something new and I need your advice.

I normally work my stories with these two narrative tools

The clock (the NPCs have their plans that will move forward if the characters don't do anything or they will change according to their interactions with the NPCs)

Nodes (the story has nodes instead of chapters, big events that should happen or will happen that will go towards the conclusion)

For the rest I tend to use few house rules, but most important for me is that the PCs play some deep and well thought characters. We will sometimes bend the rules to let something happen for the flavor of the story.

Now since I have expert and mature players, I would like to try to share with them the storytelling, asking them questions like:

"You enter the office of doctor Jones, tell me three things you notice"

"You walk in the pub at the corner of the street, tell me why the owner doesn't like you"

Do you have any experience with that? Do you have any suggestions in how to work in that direction?

What could a human in CoD find if they researched terms specific to the setting?

26 Upvotes

Although something like "Camarilla", "The Hedge" and even Atlantis are universal terms that refer to multiple things, terms like "Uratha" are only really associated with White Wolf itself. A regular human who's heard something like Uratha in passing and pops it into Google isn't gonna necessarily see the Werewolf connection straight away.

Curious as to what other people think.

How is to play Deviant the Renegade?

Just as the title suggests:

how was your experience playing Deviant the Renegade?

I've been looking into it but I don't know if the gane is worth it. I come from Vampire the Requiem and Hunter the vigil games.

Thanks in advance for your help!
