@IoleRae Someone bring in the Tzimisce

@Herja How much blood to create enough pressure though? ONGOING pressure? Without a heart to pump? We can’t leave it all to the hips, that’s impractical.

Y’all still in the shallow end of the World of Darkness squick pool. Someone drag out some of that Black Dog Game Factory shit.
Look, City of Hope is the only place that really adds in the EXTRA WrongFun books, but they banned Mummies and still have a HoneyBadger, so handwobbles.

@crawfish So I’m going really far back in my VtM DMing, but I want to say I had players burn one blood point to ‘appear’ human, which basically meant moving the blood around in your body to give yourself the appearance of living. And that did include sexytimes. I forget how many hours that gave you though. I also forget how much blood was equal to one blood point in your pool, it’s been a long time.

Undead Menses is hands down the best vamp merit ever. Who cares about blush of life!!

@shit-piss-love I’m still waiting for the Exalted squik pool, personally.
I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

The Scroll of Swallowed Darkness does need to exist, I’ll be sure to mention it in my next backer survey.

I hear you, for sure. I am not here to tell you or anyone else not to be mad/upset about what happened, because it was a ridiculous circus and anyone who was involved feeling hurt, betrayed, etc. are all completely valid feels, and I hope I didn’t imply otherwise.
Just, again, good riddance to bad rubbish. Now let’s talk about whether or not vampires fuck
Oh, not at all, I was just expanding on the thought.
To expand on another thought, I don’t doubt Ghost at all in that. That really sucks, and I’m glad he’s pulled himself out. I argue, instead, that bullying is punching down, never punching up. It gets murky in the middle, but if we’re all average joe then we’re all having a punch up. But it is not, for instance, bullying derp to call him a clownish ass-hair. It’s not nice, it’s not polite, it may not even be deserved (it is though), but it’s not bullying. Nor was it bullying Ganymede to say she made a really bad call, regardless of how nice anyone was about it. Social pressure is real and terrifying, and it’s deeply unpleasant when the hose gets turned on you, but ultimately Gany held all the power and now so does derp. If you’ve got the power to silence people on a whim (whether or not you do so), you’re not being bullied.
Nor is it a clique if a bunch of folks come down on the same side in a dispute, even when that dispute is “is derp a clownish ass-hair?” Opinions are not any less valid if a lot of people have the same one, in the same way they’re not any less valid if only one or two people have them. Insert that political tweet about someone claiming they were being silenced but being real reluctant to say what they were being silenced for.

Wasn’t there some sort of special Vampire Witch power that let them grow like, unbelievably delicious rutabaga or whatever using their undead period blood??
Goddammit, you can’t help but love the fucking lunatics that wrote those books.

I am a survivor of abuses I will not describe here.
Sometimes, that trauma makes me more empathetic. Others, it turns me into a howling ragebeast. Most times it just makes me an icy bitch.
I do not pretend an explanation for why I act the way I do is an excuse for why I act the way I do, because if I did that, then I would be saying, “My damage gives me the right to damage others and they’re not allowed to say anything about it.” I at least own that I am unpleasant and antisocial, and I have no patience for people who refuse to do the same.

You link to a post on this forum elsewhere on the forum.
It’ll show up in the thread you linked to.

This rift reminds me for all I tried to do with running games here and there to give folks a place to play where they enjoyed it the same way I did, I ended up with zero friends in the community.
I agreed to help at MSB a bit after the fallout, out of respect to Gany, shit kept happening both places. Neither ‘side’ is right as they want to think they are, its more two distinct echo chambers at this point.
Its my calling to bow out of Mu’ing completely at this point and wish everyone the best of luck on both sides, I did consider folks on both sides as friends even if they didn’t realize it. I guess horrible people skills and communication. I changed my password there, just felt like giving a short good-bye somewhere and signed up here briefly.
Dumnagul on Ares/Lotherio otherwise.
-
@Dumnagul I played on at least one of your games, I think. I remember you as a very kind admin that was understanding and patient with stuff I didn’t understand and who took a complaint I had very seriously. I wish you well out there in the greater world.
-
@Dumnagul bye forever I guess
-
I’ll miss you. Take care in that great world out there.

hello fellow old person
I never suspected mentioning the books with the pentex frat brothers would be the thing that dated me.
-
@Dumnagul I wouldn’t say you ended up with zero friends. I enjoyed my time on Calaveras and enjoyed playing with you elsewhere. Sorry to see you go, as I think there’s a lot of room in the hobby for the places you make.
Good luck out there.
-
@bear_necessities This is true. And we became friends on Calaveras! Calaveras is how I found @KarmaBum in the wild again. I enjoyed @Dumnagul’s ability to spin up a full game’s worth of rooms faster than I could even imagine a room’s outline.
