      I’m at the point where I’d just pay someone to make the character for me.

      I can never tell if my issue is trying to read large books in .pdf formatting and that’s the biggest hurdle or if I’m just getting too old WoD.

        @Testament if you have a concept that you’re excited about, then folks can usually help with the numbers and merits–though if it’s been a long time since you’ve played and you are wanting to have maximum dice and minimum failure due to experiences around inclusion and people writing you off that might be harder to overcome mentally. My experience is that people don’t really care too much about your rolls and are very kind about it. You don’t need to come out of the chute badass–most people won’t. But I know that can be a really hard mental block to overcome for a LOT of WoD players esp. if they’re used to high XP games.

        I will say that the game culture is very different from the standard WoD before, so that’s not super a big deal (and it’s a low XP game anyway). I’m not the best numbers person but I’m always willing to try to help as long as it’s a system I’m somewhat familiar with. (which alas, is not demon or mage, but tbh I’ve been won over to the side of mages being really nifty)

        Numbers won’t make the character come alive though, nor will they win you inclusion, and this it’s a very cross-sphere game. So I would say keep that definitely in mind with choosing concepts over being different for differences sake, or putting roadblocks in the way of connecting with folks, unless you can do that ICly in a way that’s still OOC engaging to others. That’s often kind of different to the classic WoD game, even some of the newer games (so not talking about the 90s here).

          Mage is great! And 2/3 of the people we ban. But it’s great!

            @mietze I really like what I’ve read from Demon, especially since it doesn’t hop right into your boilerplate Judeo-Christian imagery.

            But since it’s a totally new splat to me, it’s just finding enough time to absorb not only the lore of the splat but also whatever changes have happened since the last time I played WoD.

            So on the one hand I like what I’m reading, but on the other I’m just like “okay I’d just like to play at this point”.

              If anyone needs help making a changeling or demon or mortal+, I’m happy to assist! You’re on your own for mage, though.

                @Testament Make sure your concept is something you are excited about doing, and then just go for it. You can always ask staff for some guidance to say “yikes/i wouldn’t recommend that” even if things are chargen_ok, or ask on questions and see if there’s a player willing to help you through it. But that is just the thing. Numbers can be worked on later. I know on one of mine her concept has spun around a few times so there are some sheet things I would ideallly like to tweak now that I’m more settled into the trajectory but honestly it doesn’t impact my play because it’s a strong concept that I have a lot of fun playing regardless of sheet efficiency, and I think that enthusiasm encourages the same.

                  @Floof Me where demon is concerned, tbh. I just start yelling until Flamingo shows up.

                    @Testament Demon was a new splat for me too (and WoD was basically new) but everyone is so kind and helpful and good at keeping me from fucking it up too badly and patient about my noobiest questions. I’ve really enjoyed it so far.

                      @Testament Just do what I do. Read just the parts that are important specifically for your character, then figure the rest out ICly! 😄
