      I somehow always get a werewolf out the gates first, regardless of which sphere I normally try to focus on, so I’m curious to see what (if anything) I eventually do end up making.

      I have a couple ideas, but want to know about ties to other folk first.

        I’m a big fan of the splats y’all chose. They feel like you can actually tell some cohesive stories with them. Vampire, to me, always felt like a game at a distance from anything out in the world, insular and mostly disinterested. Not necessarily how it got played, but it felt thematically jarring next to Mage and Changeling.

          @discoarse I’ll admit we looked at those because they were favorites of our coder (mage) and designer (demon), layered on top of a start in changeling, because that was a favorite of everyone else.

          That said, the reason we went with them is because those groups all share certain themes. It makes them easier for a more PvE style game. They are all clearly opposed by NPC factions which were relatively easy to tie together. I agree with you view of Vampire. It did not lend itself as naturally to that shared story.

                      @Artemis You need to have access to the books to look up stuff, but you do not have to be long familiar with them. MANY people here are not long term CoD players. I have to look up stuff alllllllllll the time.

                      let it be a challenge to you

                        Not at all. The wikis are useful for lore, as is Codex of Darkness. And you can always ask! I know a decent chunk of information about Changeling and very little about the rest.

                          @Artemis you definitely don’t have to know them, I had never personally cracked a WoD book before cg and I got through it. the documentation is good and staff and people are very helpful, so long as you’ve got the source pdfs.

                          not to say i didn’t scream internally and externally when trying to actually USE my sheet.

                            @Artemis I’m not going to say you don’t need the books, but you can definitely get pretty far without them. If you’re just going to be there for RP and Vibes, learning as you go is valid, and there are some merits that are self explanatory enough you can probably get by with what little is on the Codex that Rinel mentioned.

                            But the pdfs do offer a lot of clarification that people will point you at if you’re having trouble finding it (which is reasonable, the formatting of those books is a nightmare).

                            Edit to add - and if you’re unfamiliar with 1e nWoD, bonus points, you don’t have to unlearn years of precident that no longer applies.

                                There is only one eternal, unchanging precident: there will never be a game with Mummy, because everybody hates me specifically.

                                      @Wizz The trick is to play a BabyMage and ICly find a mentor who already knows this shit to teach it to you.

                                          What I do is to write out my most commonly used spells beforehand and work everything out while I have free time. Then I can copy and paste when needed and modify as necessary. It really helps to learn it.

                                            I’m one of those damaged souls that played so much OWoD Mage that I’ve historically approached NWoD Mage with absolute bafflement. It’s supposed to be more streamlined (and I’ll admit, it seems so), but I never got the feel for it.

                                            I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
                                            I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
                                            I’ll get onto it when I give a shit
