I know. I just downloaded the VTM Style Guide and it is very informative. I like it.

I also downloaded the trade dress images and fonts for First Edition, as that looks like it would be useful for making the PDF for Rochester By Night.

I'm sort of new to using the Storyteller's Vault, so it's a lot to take in.

Also the free image books are useful as well for making your PDF look nice.

That sounds actually kinda cute. Are you talking real bug or Bugs Life kinda bug?


Also, can anyone explain to me why most RPG forums sing the praises of Starfinder? I've read the book and the first adventure supplement and I'm super not impressed. It's fairly heavy handed with the gender and identity stuff and that's a fairly big turn off to begin with.

Much darker and edgier. Not too grimdark though. Think mosur guard of it took place in a tribal setting with bugs.

And the reason people keep liking starfinder could be for those things or they just ignore the identity politics

Uh, what kind of idenity politics.

That sounds about right, I don't even remember any identity politics so I'm fine with SF.

I just want to make a space rat that rides a machine.

I really wanted to make a homebrewed setting where you play as bug. Still, I'm trying to find a good system for it that it doesn't blow up on my face.

I've been running something similar in D&D 3.5 edition. All the players are insects, reptiles, and small mammals living in the detritus of a white trash strewn trailer park in Texas.
 
We have any active games going? I'm quasi new to online tabletop but would love to play.
 
The 3.5 game that Randall just mentioned is ongoing, but I dunno if there's a limit to how many players can be playing at once before it gets silly.
 
I'm lucky that the two books I donated on Kickstarter are making good on their promises. Beckett's Jyhad Diary is out and I'm really excited about it and I have a feeling the SJW stuff won't be there.

The other is the second book for Bluebeard's Bride (Book of Rooms) and lets just say, the stuff is pretty intense. The rooms do have creepy, femine horror themes like motherhood and abuse, disorder-rated body horror and perversion.
 
Anyone else heard of a game called, Action Movie World: First Blood? It's a love letter to the macho action films of the 80s and early 90s. You do these where you actor plays in various "films" as different characters. It looks like it could be really fun.
 
I'm rather interested in all the ideas and gaming systems that have been discussed on here. If anyone wants to tell me more stuff about any of the things on here, feel free to send me a private message so the thread isn't derailed to be all about me listening to you regail me with your stories
 
I'm still interested in running or playing an old-school First Edition Vampire: The Masquerade game. I still have some of my notes for a Chicago By Night chronicle.

If I were to be the Storyteller in a Chicago-based Vampire game, we'd use the setting and style of First Edition to the point of being a 1990's period piece, and the PC's would be Anarchs. Gang wars would play a major role in the chronicle and most of the Anarchs in Chicago are either directly involved with the gangs or indirectly connected to them.

You'd have People vs. Folks with different Anarchs backing various gangs in both alliances, and gangs of every allegiance, background, and ethnicity out there vying for control of Chicago, with the Camarilla elders using both the Chicago Police Department and the large Gangster Disciples gang (a Folk Nation mob) as a means to quash the Anarch-backed gangs.

It'd essentially be a Gothic-Punk equivalent to The Warriors or Grand Theft Auto.

That Bluebeard's Bride sounds up my alley, man. I love Victorian horror, waif heroines in fancy night gowns with ghosts and blood and murder and from the description that sounds close... But I'm curious to how the PC's fit into the play. Do they even make characters? Or just control the actions of the bride?

Each person plays an aspect of The Bride's psyche: Virgin, Mother, Fatale, Animus, and Witch. Together they set up the bride's personality and looks and try to guide her through the castle.
 
I've been looking into an old RPG from the early 80's called Recon. It was originally an independent RPG with wargaming elements focused on the Vietnam War. Recon used a percentile dice-based system and was originally published by an independent company. It had a few modules and one supplement called Track Commander, set during the Arab-Israeli conflicts of the 60's and 70's and focused on vehicle combat and counter-terrorist commando raids. A supplement for private mercenaries was advertised but never released.

Palladium eventually bought the rights to Recon and released a revised version of the game that was heavily bowdlerized, with the nations of the world being fictionalized. (For example, the United States was referred to as "Stateside" and the Soviet Union was refered to as "Big Red")

I'm thinking of saving up and buying some hard copies of the original Recon along with Track Commander, but I do know it fetches a high price on Amazon.
