I'm slightly insulted that my Fighting Style analyses weren't there.

Thus, I'll have to start homebrew right in the middle of the next one.

Like:

"And this fighting style is a bit unique in the fact that the fourth dot allows you to-"

The Technocracy exclusively uses it's SHADE drones on missions targeting Euthanatos and Akashics, the reason for this is due to the specific fighting styles utilized by those two, and the SHADE's unusual effectiveness against them. This is modeled as an Entropy 1, Forces 2 effect.

"-overcome armor completely when made against a specific target."

Man, if you want your analyses in the threadmarks, you can report your own posts just like the rest of us.

Or hope that someone else decides to report them while staring at the thread for days on end, slowly being overcome by maddened longing. That's also an option.

I had totally realized that was the way it happened, instead of thinking that mindless God-moderators (Goderators?) sifted through the pages of this thread, looking for worthy things to be threadmarked.

Because that would be a stupid thing to believe.

Which is why I would never, ever believe that. :oops:
 
I had thought, at first, that you were meaning for people to click on the little "Report" button beneath your posts, and explain in the report report (?) that it was a threadmark-worthy post!
 
In 1e it was overpowered and underrated. In 2e it's balanced and still underrated.

I don't think a lot of people actually use Goetic Summoning, which is a shame 'cause it's awesome, as @EarthScorpion can attest to.

[IMAGO OF RUST AND CRIMSON INTENSIFIES]

And there I was thinking that you were going to talk about how much of the Kerisgame Pantheon stuff is actually based off Awakening stuff.

Yeah, you heard me. oMages might be the shattered remnants of the Sidereal Exaltations [1], but nWoD humans have a soul structure that's basically Primordial. The Onieros is an inner world, human emotions take form as inner demons and the major personality facets are the strongest by far, and the daimon is even basically the fetich. When Keris stabilises her personality and gains control over her emotions by playing with them and brushing their hair and giving them birthday parties, that's exactly how a nMage can use their own Onieros.

And then, of course, at some point she'll learn to summon her greed or her joy and task them with doing things for her, which is another thing nMage goetia can do.

[1] Who run much better after all the Maidens' bloatware and pre-loaded firmware is stripped off.

Nah, since you love to rant about how amazing the NWoD soul structure is, I'll leave the fun to you. :V

Yes, I did notice that a lot of your stuff draws on inspiration form nMage, which is understandable given that nMage is a wonderful game.

And of course, the fact that nMortals are basically Primordials is of course very appropriate to the fact that it is a Gnostic game, and of course every Sleeper is a world-god in themselves.

And then, of course, at some point she'll learn to summon her greed or her joy and task them with doing things for her, which is another thing nMage goetia can do.

Which, we can see from the example of Taylor, is a great idea that will never fuck up.

To everyone's surprise, the Maidens may be wonderful bureaucrats, but they are horrible software designers that always put loads of Samsara ads everywhere.
 
Random silly but amusing idea. The Human Genome project gets done with its work, and there's something really freaky in there to Mages. Like, "Why the fuck is part of a life Rote encoded (if we do a bunch of extra analysis and stuff) in the human gene sequence, hidden there? What the fuck?!" sort of stuff. I mean, just thinking about 'hidden Truth revealed over time' stuff, something hidden right under the skin the whole time or something, but only unfolding technology can reveal it, and only then to those who already know a part of the Truth.
 
[information=Official Staff Communication]A few threadmarks have been added. If you would like homebrew to be threadmarked, report it and we will handle it.[/information]
SO IT WAS YOU WHO WAS RESPONDING TO ALL MY REPORTS

those were pretty snappy comebacks I'm actually kinda impressed

EDIT: Snappy comebacks in question

Because sex is a Life 5 rote?
 
Hey, just checking, but does a hangover/alcohol count as a poison for Life 1 Cleanse Body? Like everyone who ever looked at Life Arcana, I'm imagining a party animal who uses Life to get around literally every downside of running themselves into the ground with aggressive exuberence.
 
Well, Alcohol is basically a mild poison, but the hangover... That's mostly dehydration, I think, and I'm not sure that cleansing would help re-hydrate like I would expect you to need...

That said, I'm pretty sure that magic is great for little stuff like that.
 
Hangovers are a complex matter; dehydration is a significant element, but there's more to them than that.
 
Hey guys. How would a Mage replicate Killer Queen's abilities?
Matter for turning things into explosives, Fate and/or Time to delay the explosion until your target touches the object, Space for doing it at a distance, and maybe Spirit if you want the actual Stand itself.
Sheer Heart Attack is pretty much just an aggressive and strong Spirit Familiar, but Another One Bites The Dust is a bullshit powerful Time contingency effect.
Why is Goetic Magic a Wisdom 4 sin?
You are screwing with aspects of your own mind.
This is apparently hubristic behavior?

Oh, well, I know that. I meant, more, why at Wisdom 4?

Wisdom four is manslaughter. It's harming other people with magic. I could see summoning someone else's Emotions/etc as being clearly Wisdom 4 because even if you're meaning to be non-harmful, well, dude, that's a little far.

But Wisdom 4 is a pretty low number for, note, literally briefly summoning one of your emotions/vices and going through a Goetic Struggle with it.
