White Wolf's World of Darkness

Reader mode
In my opinion, the original Chicago by Night for Vampire: The Masquerade 1E is the best setting supplement White Wolf ever made and one of the best RPG campaign settings period.

Which book do you think describes/explains Awakening the best. Not merely what they are, but gives an impression of what they are like, gives evocative prose on how it might be, so on and so forth?

Here's the link. The one I was talking about was called Soul Cage, though The Broken Diamond and The Man Comes Around are also good. Note that The Man Comes Around is unfinished.

    Per my usual bias the obvious answer is Luchador: The Vigil.
    I'm armchair speculating it should be Luchadors on level of Compacts?

    Luchador shouldn't just be a Hunter Compact. Luchadores should be their own splat.



    Really, Luchadores are spread out between many organizations. The WWE (formerly WWF) is a massive Conspiracy whose members include actual undead bikers from hell, among other things, and provides its mundane members with supernatural drugs that give them the strength and stamina to keep up with the most powerful monsters.

    Nah, Professional Wrestling is the way that the various splats have hit upon for settling intra-splat disputes. The reason nobody believes it's real is all the various masquerade enforcement powers all going off at once.

    @Generalissimo, could you recommend some books on the Cheiron group?

    Happy to help.
    Outside main Hunter: The Vigil book Conspiracies and Compacts would be your best source for information.
    They do show up a bit in other main Hunter books (Night Stalkers/Witch finders/Miscellaneous Vigil) but nothing truly outstanding.
    Cheiron ought be, like anything else in toolbox, compatible with Mirrors if you're looking for alternate setting.
    Sadly we're lacking a Cheiron Group themed adventuring module :cry:

    Are you looking for corporate themed media to help set mood for a Cheiron game?
    Maybe something about cyborg implants and/or genetic enhancement?

    Funny thing from Conspiracies and Compacts. . .
    Field Research's willingness to hire monsters really seems like a good excuse for a multi splat campaign!
    That being said implating monsters Thaumatechnology as hinted sounds like a bad idea.
    Feels like getting dangerously close to stacking of splats.
    What do such abominable builds even look like?
    Opposite side of spectrum. . .
    . . . what happens when you graft Vampire parts on a Vampire, Geist parts on a Geist, Mage parts on a Mage, Changeling parts on a Cangeling, or Wherewolf parts on a Werewolf?
    Bonus Question: Why does a Mage need Thaumatechnology enhancement anyway?

    Because Magic.

    The other supernaturals contain the lost divinities of mankind, awakened by their transformation at the cost of true singular divinity that all men strive for, by using their flesh you will build your Ladder and Throne from their meat, bone and blood.

    Thank you for the advice; I'll be sure to pick those books up.

    That would be nice. I've been on a bit of a transhumanist/cyberpunk kick lately.

    I see no flaws in your fantastic justifications for atrocities logic.

    Silver Throne's general philosophy outside their organization is hilariously appreciated.

    There is a disadvantage for a mage getting those implants. . .
    . . . . in having Arcane Experience instead of Practical Experience he can't ever install anything himself.
    (don't really need to rely on tactics for harvesting or preserving because magic does it better)
    You'll be depending on surgeons who aren't mages to install hardware directly into your brain.

    This is a minor question, but I can't remember the answer: does a new Mage (as in, brand new) start with both of their Ruling Arcana at 1?

    Also, someone posted the link to the #s/statistics stuff davebrks did with regards to Mage, can someone direct me to where that is in this thread?

    I can't find anything, so I'd say that it varies. Some mages come out of an awakening with a full set of Arcanum, some come out with their ruling Arcana at 1. All come out with at least the latter though, and pretty commonly with a third at 1.

    I swear I saw a 'newbie mage' thing in one of the books. Like, "If you want to play a brand new baby mage, here's the Arcana spread." But now I can't remember where it was.

    Yup, Rulings both are at 1, as they are the basic enlightnment of a Path. Mysterium and TotM both talk about newly awakened mages a bit, and Mysterium also gives them a 3rd dot of their choice, although I'm not sure if that's still meant to represent "fresh from Awakening" or "had a few weeks to figure out what's what".

    Thank you for the information. Do not be alarmed, Quest voter.

    Also, I know I'm repeating this, but DaveB had these posts on, like, the percentages of people at each Gnosis in a city and etc, and someone linked them to me months ago when I was asking then, and I'm asking now, but am not sure if I'll be able to find it in the thread.
