Get in here. Talk about your favorite clan, insult inferior clans, discuss your fan theories, or just tell us which vampire girl you want introduce to your wooden stake (literal or metaphorical).
Don't hesitate to ask questions, Between all of us here, we've got a good amount of knowledge of the lore and PnP games in addition to the vidya.

First for Lasombra Master Race
>>73231828
>>73231695
second for I don't know which clan to pick and that paralyses me
>>73231695
How do I make sure WESP's mod was correctly installed?
I'm asking because I didn't notice any graphical changes (even thought shaders normally) and looking into the folder there isn't any new file or anything mentioning the mod.
>>73232196
It should say in the upper left corner of the character creation screen.
Might be able to be seen in the character screen ("c") as well, though I can't remember.
Has anyone else noticed the changes in facial animations WESP made? Not with new animations, but just putting other ones in situations they weren't before? Suddenly fucking everyone and their mother is pulling Bennet's smirk on me and it's pissing me off because it doesn't make sense in context at all. Why would you change that?
>>73234078
Did WESP actually do that...?
God damn, haha. Kinda glad I stick with versions under 8.
>>73234875
I'm not even sure what version I have, but I've got Jack smirking at me and holding it and there's shit like pic related
>>73235404
Check the left corner of your character sheet, as here:
>>73232534
That said, I don't think it's a new addition. I'm trying to visualize it in my mind and I think the smirk has always been an idle facial animation while the NPC waits for your dialogue choice.
I could be completely wrong though, haven't played in a while.
Daily Reminder : Bend the knee or be destroyed.
>>73240135
FUCK YOU USURPERS
>>73240135
>bending the knee to the clan with the worst weakness
>>73240598
>calling ventrue a usurper
>>73240951
Oh dear lord, I had a brain fart. Accept my penance anon. It shall not happen again
>>73240631
It is only fitting, that the clan that Caine himself chose to bear the burden of leadership, should also bear the burden of blood.
>>73236867
wesp restored a bunch of cut animations iirc
>>73242002
It's like poetry, it rhymes.
>>73243651
For what purpose? Also... I'm wondering how he "restores" so many things, after so many versions of his patch. Surely he would have run out of unused files by now.
Don't get me wrong, wesps seems like a nice guy. I haven't seen him beat his chest and declare how great he is, and honestly his only flaw is that he seems to enjoy doing this too much to quit.
We're probably giving him a pretty unwarranted bad rap, but... hey, fuck him for releasing the mess that is 9.0 :)
Night.
Why can't I use Bloodbuff in Elysium areas anymore? Is this Wesp's doing?
>>73244310
Most of what he does is move shit around at random. you should see the horrible turnstile he added to one of the clubs in the latest patch. just fucking awful
>>73248571
more "improvements"
>>73248571
As of 8.6 you can use bloodbuff while lockpicking (you need to start lockpicking first, then activate bloodbuff). I assume that's why you want it for as I can't think of another use for bloodbuff while in Elysium.
I haven't tried it with 9.0 yet, though.
>>73248571
Just installed this patch here and it's working fine
>>73244310
what's wrong with 9.0 ?
I see people complain about it but thus far I haven't seen a single good reason
Ausbro here.
going away for the weekend
One thing I love about the game is that literally everyone hates LaCroix.
Like, even the taxi driver. If you say you want to side with him, he just goes "Are you sure? He's kind of an enormous tool..."
>>73258868
I like LaCroix.
>>73231828
Excellent
Hey there fellow kindred, I'm slowly but surely making a Bloodline-like game, more cyberpunk than anything. I've prepared the skills and classes, and a lot of interesting stuff. It will include some cyber-Dhampir because I can't resist hehe, with the usuall hacking, cyberspace elements, and some "horrortech" so that I can have some proper monster-player. Right now graphics aren't that great since I'm working alone on this but that's alright. I'll have some friend that will help with the testing. I'm not planning on selling but I'll let you guys enjoy it when I have something ready.
Anyways, I hope you're all having a good time.
>>73267079
and yeah the graphics are not super, a little bland, I'll had proper textures and a lot more decoration and destructible when possible, I'm just using this "industrial" are for testing.
4:30 am, time to go to bed. Don't die thread.
>>73258868
That's because the taxi driver knows what LaCroix intends to do with the sarcophagus. And he already knows the outcome, regardless of being a Mad Malk or Caine.
Everyone else is just a hater. Anarchs are understandable, but everyone else is just jellin'.
>>73267079
>>73267220
This looks pretty neat. What program are you using?
>>73283953
why is a severed human limb more effective than a tire iron anyway?
>>73284121
I thought it was a mannequin arm?
>>73284169
That makes sense and I really don't remember enough to tell the difference, but I still think a tire iron would be better.
>>73284169
it's gimble's arm
Gimble the bes
>>73276328
see file name
>>73231695
I just torrented it for the first time
I did the newbie test and I got Gangrel
How am I doing so far?
Any tips for a newbie?
>>73291234
As a Gangrel, focus on your brawl. Protean 2 gives you claws that fuck shit up.
Don't open it.
>>73291234
I wouldn't do the newbie test...
Look through the clans and see which most appeals to you, but it's a good idea to stay away from Malkavian (because the dialogue might confuse the fuck out of you) and Nosferatu (because it sucks being a Nosferatu).
I have the latest wesp patch installed and I hate it that he moved shit around.
Wich one should I install? I only need the cut content and fixes.
Also, are saves compatible? If I downgrade my game, I mean.
>>73295273
Anything below 8 really. Clan Quest comes with 7.6 IIRC.
>>73296528
What do you mean by IIRC?
It comes with patch 7.6?
Also, are my save compatible?
>>73297384
"if I remember correctly."
And no, your saves won't be compatible.
>>73297384
If I Remember Correctly. And your saves would probably not be compatible, hence why it's always recommended you patch with a fresh install.
>>73298413
>>73298496
Well, I reinstalled it either way.
Might as well try this clan quest mod.
Sucks that I have to go through the sewers again, fuck that place so much.
>>73299176
Noclip if you must. While the sewers are annoying, they're not that bad. But it's acceptable to noclip. It's like using a FAQ for Forbidden Siren 1. No one will look down on you.
>>73299176
If you include Camarilla Edition when you patch (which comes with Clan Quest), you can do a quest to skip the sewers entirely.
Here's a few issues with Camarilla Edition, though:
1. You don't heal as fast naturally (which is okay - it gives you a "blood heal" discipline you can raise).
2. The game knocks off a blood point every 4 minutes + 1 minute per stamina, I believe. Even in dialogue. If you've played the game through enough times that you don't mind skipping the dialogue, this is okay, but if you wanna read all the dialogue and stuff it's very annoying.
If you decide on CE, there's a quest that has you follow Tung through the sewers and where you can skip the sewers entirely.
Or you can just noclip through the entire level, by means of the console.
>>73299921
>2. The game knocks off a blood point every 4 minutes + 1 minute per stamina, I believe. Even in dialogue. If you've played the game through enough times that you don't mind skipping the dialogue, this is okay, but if you wanna read all the dialogue and stuff it's very annoying.
you can remove this in a cgf though
>>73299921
Nah, I only got the base edition.
Call me casual, but I think having my blood going down over time will just be more tideous than fun.
and I can't belive I didn't think about using noclip.
>>73302924
My patch version is 7.9 and yet it doesn't support 1920 x 1080.
Any way to fix this?
LET'S SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL
http://strawpoll.me/2094311
>>73315237
Yukie isn't a Kindred, you ass.
Now, if you said "best '/VoDG/ waifu" everything would be fine. But no, you had to go full retard, didn't you
>>73315639
Fuck. I went full shovelhead.
>>73315639
Neither is Venus. Heather as well... ghouls don't qualify as Kindred.
To top that off, are Bloodlines considered Kindred? You see, the term was developed as a replacement for Cainites, but Cainites refer to the children of Caine. If this is the case, then can Tremere truly be considered Kindred? They are not direct descendants of Caine, and therefore they cannot be called Kindred.
Check and mate, atheists.
>>73315237
But my favorite girl is Rosa.
>>73316467
>are Tremere Kindred
They are, for all intents and purposes, the same species. If it Torpors like a Kindred, drinks blood like a Kindred, and burns like a Kindred, it's a fucking Kindred.
>>73317007
But they're nerds, and I don't want no nerds in the kindred family.
So odd question, because it's going to come up in the Wednesday game. If I encounter someone and decide to make them my ghoul, would I have to spend the XP to make them my ghoul?
Also, what Discipline do you guys think I should invest into? Auspex 1, Obeneration 1, or wait another week for enough to buy Dementation 4?
>>73318160
What XP? There' no XP cost to make someone a Ghoul.
Do you mean Obfuscate? Auspex and Dementation suggests Malkavian.
>>73318385
I was thinking about the XP because during character creation you can "buy" a ghoul in your backgrounds. Didn't know if I'd have to use that for the ghoul now.
And no, I meant Obeneration. I'm thinking about taking it, because playing with shadows + Passion could really work wonders. I was going to ask the Lasombra antitribu in our coterie to teach me.
>>73318895
Wait, what clan are you?
>>73318895
Be sure to have the Prince's permission before making a ghoul.
Get obteneration if you can, though I know it costs more due to being a new out of clan discipline. Choke those air breathers like it aint not thing.
Steer away from Dementation. Dementation a shit. What sort of 4th level Discipline makes you roll against your own attack? Seriously, V20, you dun dropped the ball on this one.
>>73319085
Malkavian.
>>73318895
No, you don't buy Backgrounds in play. You earn them through your actions. That's why they're so cheap during character creation. Easy come, easy go.
>>73319503
>What sort of 4th level Discipline makes you roll against your own attack
Dementation, that's what.
>>73319503
Well, while getting the Prince's permission is a good thing, it really depends on the precedence set so far by him/her. If the Prince is strict, ask ASAP. If the Prince is lax in terms of ghouls, go nuts. And get Shadow powers
>>73319868
>implying any princes are lax when it comes to ghouls and siring
anarch free state 2014
vote for your local baron in the coming election today
>>73319503
I've found Dementation to be pretty meh so far. Passion can be very useful, but it's almost like playing Russian Roulette at the same time.
Haunting is nice, but the effects aren't immediate. If I'm willing to put the time into some long term dickbaggery, I could see me using it more, but the oppertunity really hasn't presented itself yet. If anyone has other suggestions as how to use it, I'm all ears.
I love Eyes of Chaos. While it's main use is to determine someone's nature and shit, the wording of the discipline also lets it function as kind of a divining rod as well. Pretty much the reason I specced into the discipline in the first place.
While I'm not keen on having to make my own frenzy test if I use Dementation 4, it is at a reduced difficulty. I could see it being useful, but I can also see it biting me in the ass at the same time.
>>73319752
Good to know.
>>73319868
Obeneration was my first choice, but if I really wanted to be credit to team we really need someone with Auspex, which is why I'm contemplating it.
>>73320087
I didn't say shit about siring. That's a different issue all together.
>>73320460
So wait a week and get both Auspex and Obeneration
>>73320701
I doubt we'll get 7 XP in one week. I do plan opn getting both eventually, but I was just wondering which one I should invest in first.
>>73320932
Then get Auspex first and roleplay attempting to learn Obeneration. It may sway the ST to give you more XP and gives a story reason why you can choke a bitch with shadows
>>73321148
This. Grav could probably do with more time to get to trust you before teaching you Obtenebration anyway. The characters have known each other for what, a week or two?
Malkie here.
Thought of a Giovanni character concept that might be interesting, but, like I've said before, my schedule is always changing (gotta love employers when they say, "if you want a fixed schedule, you're gonna lose hours.")
Still... this concept... eh, might work? Given Giovanni's neutral stance in terms of sects. The character could come and go from session to session, acting as a mediary between the Giovanni and the Camarilla? Which might explain why sometimes I show up and sometimes I don't...
I dunno, just an idea. Don't wanna step on any toes or ruin what's already going for the coterie. If you're around, Spencer, lemme know what you think.
>>73321148
Might be for the best, since Grav can still manipulate the shadows on his own right now, and roleplaying my teaching makes sense. It's just so damned tempting though.
>>73322018
If that. And that's also the other part about investing into Obeneration. Can't spend those points unless he agrees to show me the techniques.
>>73322053
Sounds good to me, Malkie. I'd love for you to join in, even if you can't be there all the time. The more's the merrier, right?
>>73322497
Maybe!
Well, off to work now, will check thread when I get home.
>>73341128
>barcode on a sekret fight club publication
Was a copy of the new Anarch book ever uploaded?
So is this how nosferatu information gathering works?
I can't into art
>>73348686
That and the SchreckNet. Also, nice work, Anon.
>>73348686
Well they DO have obfuscate as a clan discipline. So that probably helps. They could get into a room and nobody would know. In fact one might be in the room with you right now!
Holy shit, this thing is still going? I left after the Thread 14 clusterfuck thinking death was inevitable.
>>73352004
WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THREAD 14!
But yeah, we're still going, as are the online games.
>Just found out the sarcophagus needs a key
>Prince told me to murder the hell out of some Sabbat and kill their leader
>This is the hardest mission so far
Fuck me, I got up to the teleporting ladies and then my game crashed.
>>73348686
Usually it's more "walk into the building and stand in a corner with a camcorder".
>>73350167
>That last Shrecknet mission
>>73359443Susan a shit
>>73362416
She is okay.
You dont get to actually fug her like thr ivory goddess.
So how does the tabletop game work?
>>73362970
Short answer: Dice rolls, roleplaying, and the power of imagination.
Long answer: You make a character using the creation rules in whatever setting you're running. Then come up with a history, background, that sort of thing. Then just play your character. You'll roll dice as needed. Your storyteller should tell you when.
If you wanna see it in action to get a feel for it, see it in action and whatnot, you can sit in and observe our Wednesday game .

Those teeth look awful.
>>73369703
To be fair, only being social in any hostile environment is a poor idea. Also just picking the blue text to win is kinda boring.
I guess I never had it bad, my first run was a nos and I only went stealth and melee because nos dont need talking.
Kind of annoying how the sabbat in the hotel can see through invisibility for no reason. Stealth becomes much less viable late game.
>>73373340
>Play malk lady
>Oh this new outfit has less cleavage
>I guess it makes sense for defen-
>Dat booty
Damn how do people think I'm not a prostitute in that?
>>73376928
They all probably think that you indeed are a prostitute, but they also see your crazy face and don't try to find out more.
>>73383379
Am I the only one who thinks Nosferatu life seems really comfy?
Just underground with your buds getting paid mad moolah by the prince to find info for them. When you aren't doing that you just steal a pizza and play some games with everyone.
>>73384842
You're not the only one. I wouldn't mind if I was embraced as a Nossie.
>>73397038
Hey that was Loreguy's picture when I first met him on Skype.
>>73384842
Once you get obfuscate 3 you don't even have to hide anymore. Nosferatu are pretty awesome.
>tfw the dream of /v/'s all Nos coterie in WoD Online is forever dead
>>73400561
That would be pretty funny. But seeing as how all mmos are shit I don't know if they ever could have pulled that off to a satisfactory level. PnP seems to be the last bastion.
>>73401034
Going by what they had in the manual already, they seemed to be on the right track.
>>73404753
I just noticed now, the girl has no feet!
>>73405581
Holy shit.
>>73404753
>>73405581
>>73405702
Hah. I love how we can all already have a laugh about WoD. Right guys?
>>73409763
It's probably my biggest gaming let down, and it's more than likely never going to be topped.
>>73416889
I FUCKING HATE CCP
Srsly, if I could I would slap that motherficking CEO to death.
Motherfucker, during YEARS he stole ppl from WoD, specially for the Dust 514 (WHICH WAS A FUCKING FLOP)
And then when the years revenue came and he lost 21M, instead of cutting on EVE, he cuts WoD.
FUCK HIM SO FUCKING MUCHI MAD
>>73425914
And just what are we getting from them now?Dust for PC!
>>73426281
Game which no fucking one will ever play, cuz its outdated and SUCKS!
I've been MAD since april
>>73426505
I hate to be that guy, but do you think one of those shitty online petitions could accomplish anything at all?
>>73426668
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>73426668
I don't think so... game's gone... as sad as that may be.
>>73409998
they should start a kickstarter for it...
>>73426765
I know... I know...
>>73426894
I just figured it couldn't hurt. Toss it up on the WW message boards, see what could happen. Maybe if they see enough interest in the game they'd reconsider?Who the fuck am I kidding?
>>73431071
You must be really bored.
>>73432190
Merely doing my duty to the thread.
So what are people's thoughts on Rites of Blood?
>>73432937
Judging by the snippit that was posted here, it was one of the worst World of Darkness supplements I've ever seen.
>>73433230
Yeah, Punk Sorcery is pretty stupid.
>>73433836
Punching someone so hard you clone them. Just what the fuck were they thinking?
>>73434070
Someone wanted to be "edgy" and thought what's more edgy that a public beating while stealing their look through the power of FISTS?
>>73434291
You'd think they could have come up with a better way to do the cloning shit.
>>73435503
See, the core idea works. You want to blend in, look cool, change your face? Use magic! It's the execution of the idea which is fucking retarded.
>>73435723
So what's the next release that's supposed to come out?
And did anyone upload the Anarchs book?
>>73437330
http://theonyxpath.com/schedule/
And if you want the Anarchs book, go on the kickstarter page. It has the text of the book pre-layout
>>73437809
Thanks for the info. We should add that Onyx Path link to the OP.

Who would guess that Kindred so simple
could be so groundlessly prideful?
Gonna make a seductive gunslinger, going full blown toreador
What history should I pick?
>>73457109
I can never really help with these questions. I never bothered with the different histories in Bloodlines. Always just ran with the clans as is.
>>73457109
whichever one you would most like to roleplay or if that does not float your boat whichever one has the best stats for your build..

>>73231695
fucking shit mission is pissing me off.
Stuck at explosive beginings. The 2 vampires that bars your retreat at the end are invincible.
They deal massive damage, Have more than 100 life each and I need to kill the second one to open the locked door which is BS.
What the heck can I do?
>>73468913
gain skill
>>73468913
What quest are you talking about? I'm drawing a blank here.
>>73466929
CCP should sell the IP
Or atleast allow someone else to develop the mmo (or any kind of pc game for that matter)
but no, they had to be a bunch of scrubs and let the dream die
>>73468913
>>73469064
>>73469524
He is talking about the warehouse
Theres 2 sabbat vamps that appear at the end when you are escaping
What clan are you playing?
>>73469524
The one where you must blow up the warehouse, in the first city.
Lots of thugs to kill then 2 boss vampires.
>>73469064
There's no skills whatsoever to get here. I completed all the other quest I could and I'm stuck in this level anyway.
I actually managed to kill the first one with skills but now my health is too low and I can't regenerate since it counts as heavy damage for some reason.
>>73469846
see >>73469673
and tell me, which clan are you playing?
>>73469673
>>73469950
Playing the toreador but doesn't matter. I'm stuck and starting over is out of the question.
Still pissing me off that there's no way to get past this motherfucker than killing him and he deals massive amount of punishment
>>73470347
You are playing with the shittiest clan for fighting idd.
But still not being able to go through its your fault, you are probably slightly retarded... but since I'm in a good mood I'll help you out.
You have presence, which reduces the strengh of your opponents, use it and then shoot him with a shotgun (3-4 shots close range and he is gone)
You can also use celerity and get the fuck away from the 1st and the 2nd and then only kill the 3rd a bit further on.
Anyway, during the warehouse level you get plenty shotgun ammo, put it to good use and you are good to go.
>>73469950
>>73468913
Additionally I can't open the console to cheat my way out because the douchebag developers attached it to a key that's missing on half the world's keyboards.
Fucking tilde.

>You have presence, which reduces the strengh of your opponents, use it and then shoot him with a shotgun (3-4 shots close range and he is gone)
No shit I go all out everytime I try to defeat him. Celerity+presence+bloodbuff.
He can withstand 6 close range shots with the shotgun.
I also skipped the first one, was p. easy.
The second one is mandatory to kill or else the fucking door won't unlock
>>73470741
>shittiest clan for fighting
Toreadors are one of the best, if not the best clan for use with firearms in the game. There is no "shittiest clan for fighting" in Bloodlines, just different styles and approaches.
>>73470832
The game suffers from a lot of pathfinding and colision bugs.
When they appear you have a to your left, the door outside (broken by the 1st sabbat) and some stairs back to the office where you planted the bomb.
try to glitch the game if you can't kill them like a any other normal person can and did 'till now.
>>73471046
Toreador are shit single handed, I am not saying they can't use fire arms or deal with the game.
But single handed (not ammo dependant) they are shit
Even tremere does a better job, due to bloodshield n shit

I don't understand what you're saying here. I got passed the one who breaks the door. What I can't do is kill the one who's death will trigger an exit door to unlock.
The door which wasn't locked before gets magically locked and you need to beat the vampire to magically get it to open.

u can try to go over the train and down again.
I finished the game twice with toreador, I don't even know why the fuck you can't kill a npc that never gave trouble to anyone.
Besides, you will kill plenty of those further into the game
>>73470741
>But still not being able to go through its your fault, you are probably slightly retarded
I'm starting to agree with this!
>>73471629
>Besides, you will kill plenty of those further into the game
hopefully I will boost my stats a little bit more and wield better weapons than a knife
>u can try to go over the train and down again.
not entirely sure which one but will try right now, I got one spot in my mind where I could do just that.
>I finished the game twice with toreador, I don't even know why the fuck you can't kill a npc that never gave trouble to anyone.
He does heavy damage that can't regenerate.
He's got a huge life pool and I haven't invested in fighting skills that much.

>not entirely sure which one but will try right now, I got one spot in my mind where I could do just that.
good luck
>>73284496
He's missing his left arm and swings a right arm at you. It isn't his arm unless he had an interesting anatomy even before he went amputation crazy.
>mfw people actually have trouble getting through this game, let alone the sabbat warehouse
>>73471957
It worked but I said fuck it and Decided to try to kill the fucker one last time.
I send 10 shots in this faggot's belly but he finally went down. Had 1 life left though.
>>73471379
pretty much any clan can punch everything to death with no skill investment in santa monica, including the ones that don't have speed force
>>73473412
I am glad you finally finished it.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the game, and get ready for Downtown (you'll love Patty)
>>73475310
Don't forget to explore that abandoned hospital to meet a lovely lady named Pisha.
>>73472584
don't be a fuckwad and forget to put points on combat shit -
>>73384842
The transformation is supposed to be extremely painful and tends to create derangements in certain people. Also the whole stigma against you and your big brothers trying to kill and eat you could be bothersome. Also living in a sewer can't be nice no matter what you do to it.

I usually have trouble in combat early on because I focus on social skills first at the expense of combat. The two kindred in the warehouse were only difficult the first time around, but the Blood Guardian at the Gallery Noir and to a lesser extent the Cathayan are often a pain in the ass because of how fleeble my characters are at the time. The guy with a shotgun in the warehouse office also needs to be approached with caution.

>vampires don't launder their clothes
disgusting
Since the Op doens't have a mod paste, may I ask which mode I should use for a second playthrough (My first one was years ago as a vanilla Toreador)?
>Camarilla - Updated March 2014
>Clan Quest - Updated Jan 2012, includes (older?) Camarilla and more
>Final Nights - Updated April 2014, seems way too overhaul?
I'm thinking about roling a Nosferatu this time.
>>73499563
>Vampires
>Laundering clothes
Didn't you know they don't sweat?
Well they CAN sweat but its all bloody, the eyeballs are still "watery" enough I guess. Or are they as dry as salty over cooked meat balls?
>>73469528
They're just going to sit on the licence, if things get worse for CCP financially it's an asset they can sell off without expending money on the expensive business of developing a game. Sad, but that's why lots of games are stuck in limbo.
>>73503718
Ok here's an experiment: take a clean change of clothes you don't particularly like and hang them up on something outside for a week or so. Then take them down and see if they seem wearable.
>>73500757
Bump. Anyone? At the very least, Clan Quest or Camarilla?
>>73504381
I'd go Clan Quest. Better version of Wesp's patch in there.
>>73504075
Hanging them up on something for a week isn't really a comparable substitute to a body that doesn't sweat and doesn't secrete any body oils whatsoever(which is why fingerprinting kindred doesn't work particularly well) wearing that same outfit for a week. Just the act of walking around will ensure the fibers of a shirt doesn't stiffen up due to incidental environmental dirt and dust. Also, the clothes a kindred wears typically never sees the light of day so that also skews the comparison.
Anon that was stuck at the warehouse, don't you have any blood bags to heal you? Unless I missed that in your post
>>73510932
Even if he does, he just sucks. I meleed those schmucks to death. As a Toreador.
Maybe he has one of those "patches" that fuck up game balance.
>>73511064
I also thought that might be the case.
10 shots to blow 1 sabbat?
He probably has a messed up patch, otherwise he is somewhat retarded like I stated in my 1st post.
Reminder that The Strain premieres tonight. Anyone else plan on watching some Del Taco vampires?
>>73517749
I think I will DVR it. If the pilot is any good, I might check out the rest of the series
I hate groups that don't have any initiative.
>>73524725
What happened this time?
>>73524904
Wasn't a WoD game, but I was in a game yesterday and none of the other players did anything besides stand there and wait for the demon summoner cannibals to come and attack us.
God damn guys, if I have any advice to you for playing games, DON'T SIT AROUND AND WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN!
>>73525147
Were they at least setting up for an ambush or something?
>>73525351
Nope. Just stood there and posed dramatically as the wind blew in their hair.
>>73525473
........ and how long was this game session? I mean, you guys had to be at least doing something.
>>73525590
Uh 4 hours.
Yep, 4 hours. 2 of which were them sitting there waiting for the cannibals to attack.
>>73524725
Indeed, I would rather be with a group that is constantly doing new things and possibly fucking up over a group that sits there being cautious as fuck and boring.
>>73525717
Dear lord that sounds fucking horrendous
>>73532201
Those 2 hours were spent with one player trying to convince the leader of the cannibals to not attack us after I attacked.
2 hours OOC to do a 5 minute conversation.
>>73532641
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svYQG_BnAls&feature=kp
>>73533204
Which part is confusing?
>>73532641
why didn't you tell said player to shut the fuck up and stop wasting everyone's time. Your group was cool with this dialogue?
>>73534324
Pic related is other players besides my buddy and myself.
I told them it was pointless and then decided to talk to my buddy IC for a long ass time before we got yelled at BECAUSE SUPER SERIOUS MOMENT! WE'RE GONNA BE ATTACKED!
In reality, I was like level 9000 Goku compared to the cannon fodder that was on that ship. Could have soloed them all without breaking a sweat.
>>73532641
It's not that it's confusing. The sheer stupidity of wasting two hours on a five minute conversation with known cannibals trying to eat their faces just hurts
>>73534784
Well technically the character is from the cannibal tribe but she's threatened to kill them if they attack.
Not sure where her loyalties were but I don't trust her at all.
>>73534924
BLAM! her and kill the mooks then.
>>73535113
I've got no proof that she's evil yet IC.
Session ended with me jumping into the water to solo the ship.
>>73535225
Good on you. You advance the plot, forces the GM to shut up that player, and are about to do something cool.
>>73535520
Said player is the GM's boytoy.Yeah I know
>>73535765
abandon ship
>>73536384
Technically already did when I jumped into the water.
