I was planning on creating a Faithful Hunter that believes in the supernatural and spirits. I wanted them to be able to have the ability to call upon these spirits for aid, but not like the overpowered abilities of a werewolf. More like temporary gifts and powers granted once and only once and that’s if they can get the spirit to trust them.

Is this possible?

​

I'd like to know where to start with this universe and what it entails.

Hi guys, I wanna do v5 Hunter The Reckoning one-shot (I dont wanna go into the Imbued stuff from previous edition because it doesnt suit my needs) and I need some help

Pretty easy premise, players and characters have no idea what is World of Darkness (we go random stuff sometimes and I want to present it). But each character lost one loved one in more "party" part of the city which is like their main drive because authorities dont give a damn.

I have easy plan scheduled

Introduction
Investigation in the club (find some hooks, get the info)
Two places for further investigation (thinking about morgue, old "crime" scene connected to the monster and one or two apartments) give some idea that there is something weird and dangerous
Gear up (it is in my country so you cant go into shop to buy five shotguns and rocket launcher, no true freedom I know)
Confrontation
The end

Is there something I should add to make it really feel like hunter game? Specific scenarios? Ideas?

Thank you in advance

As the title says: I know the recommended Kindred ratio per City, but not that of other splats such as werewolves or ghosts, so I’m wondering these even exist. Thanks!

An OC I made for a game of VtM - a tattoo artist and local creep who was embraced and became a Tzimisce.

Hope she looks good!

I want to see what some of us can cook up like a microwave

Mostly because I'm just kind of bored 🤣

I want to make a mage that is a master swordswoman and awakened in the midst of an honourable fight against a Garou. Any tips?

Changeling: The Dreaming is an excellent game, particularly in its 20th Anniversary Edition, but its original Storyteller rules belong to the old World of Darkness and can feel cumbersome by modern standards. This book adapts Changeling: The Dreaming to the revised Chronicles of Darkness Storytelling System while preserving its setting, themes, and distinctive fae cosmology.
You need the Chronicles of Darkness Rulebook and Changeling: The Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition to use this adaptation. The former provides the underlying Storytelling System and its core rules; the latter remains the primary source for setting, history, society, characters, and lore. This book reproduces material from either only where necessary to present or explain the adapted mechanics. Older Changeling: The Dreaming books and other Chronicles of Darkness supplements are referenced occasionally where useful.
Changeling: The Lost is not required. Although it is the native changeling game of Chronicles of Darkness, it presents a fundamentally different setting and supernatural concept. Chapter Nine provides rules and guidance for combining the Lost with the Kithain of Changeling: The Dreaming for groups that wish to use both.
The book broadly follows the structure of Changeling: The Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition, allowing rules here to be matched easily with the corresponding setting and source material there. Sections depart from that structure where the adaptation requires it, particularly where concepts must be reorganized to fit the assumptions and mechanics of the Chronicles of Darkness system.

Has anyone here watched this movie or it's sequel from China? I think the whole plot could fit incredibly well into a WTA or MTA game, maybe even Hunter.

Maybe some of the power ceilings are too high for WOD but I think it's a great depiction of how chinese supernatural beings would organise into different factions.

The villians of the first movie are practically rouge Garou (maybe Red Talons)

Obviously fledgling vampires or newly fallen demons can get caught off guard and even overly zealous werewolves can let sufficiently planned out Hunters get the better of them every now and then.

But I'm curious, as my knowledge of Hunter lore isnt as thorough as my understanding of most of the other gamelines.

Are there any Hunters (individuals or small groups, e.g. none of the Orgs) that are infamous or powerful enough that supernaturals and monsters tend to avoid a fight with them? Of course anyone who is baseline human lacks the raw power inherent to most of their quarry, but surely SOME Hunters have built a rep by this point?

For context, the V6 pre alpha has received a major rework to the humanity system where, instead of a linear bar where higher is better. In contrast, v6 humanity it's more of a balanced scale akin to the Harmony bar Werewolf the Forsaken 2nd edition where the optimal position a player should be is 5 (beast for low and human for high), and to grossly simplefiy things going in either extremes would sometimes give the players character buffs for certain situations but mostly detrimental effcts upt to what's effectively play charcter Death where they are rendered as NPCs.

Meanwhile, W5 just gives you two bars that fill up in different situations and basically means death if either of them fills up.

Also, as a slight diversion from my main point, I think the clan specific frenzies v6 introduces should inform how Hauglosk works in a hypothetical W6. Instead of just W5 version where it's simply a nazi mind virus, Hauglosk should show case the specific psychosis of individual tribes where their philosophy was taken to the extremes.

Like an exprept from JF Sambrano's parton already has an example from a cancelled version of w5 where the Glass Walkers go full techbro.

To quote:

The Ghreena* of the Glass Walkers is the sterilization of the Wyld.

The Glass Walkers flip the usual narrative of the Triat represented by Garou on its head, suggesting that the Wyld is at fault for driving the Weaver mad, which resulted in its machinations on the Wyrm. They will turn the tools of the Weaver on the Wyld with intent, building dams that provide "clean energy" while destroying ecosystems, genetically modifying crops to make them more durable against weather and pests, or creating low carbon footprint technologies which require mining operations that poison animals, people, and waterways. Many Glass Walkers favor terraforming the "undesirable" aspects of Gaia, such as deserts, by diverting waterways and creating solar panel fields that make these spaces more hospitable for humanity. They might claim that these actions are made out of a need for progress, but they seek out the sterilization of unstable qualities in the environment.

*the old term for hauglosk.

Like the players dealing with a glass Walker trying to boot strap his preparatory LLM into a AGI sprit that could somehow seal away the wyrm is awesome plot line.
