I played a Chosen of Secrets in my EvWoD game. I was playing, for all intents and purposes, a total sociopath. I'd kill people when fate said they had to die. If fate said it wasn't their time I'd save them even from my friends. I'd tell people secrets when fate told me to, I'd hide things from people when fate indicated it wasn't time to reveal them. I'd send people away if the signs said it was auspicious and I'd slow everyone down if the stars weren't quite right yet (but we always showed up at just the right time for it to matter).

Completely insane from a human standpoint. And also manipulative as fuuuuuck. Since my own destiny was destroyed I could barely be said to exist in the world and it made personal consequences fleeting enough to not care who I fucked over. And I did. Repeatedly. In ways that were basically impossible to catch up to me and the one time they did, I just Ceased to Exist - made another life for myself as a Lupus Fianna and fought in the civil war against the Get until the time was right, and then I let that life go and became myself again, such as it was.

Weird game. Very fun. I never get to play in games and so it was a real treat to let loose in a setting I knew a lot about.

But when I run games, I prefer a setting where I control the plot and don't have big movers and shakers in the background doing things (unless that is important to the story somehow). Chronicles is a great set of legos to make a campaign out of.

This is a big part of why I prefer CofD. Also, Mage:t:Aw has a better magic system and Geist much more cheerful than Wraith.

But then we also get the abuse-apologia game, so I guess it's a wash.

I believe you and I'm not googling that.

It was Arnold Palmers cock he was obsessed with.

One time we were hitting a mining operation being done by some Pentex subsidiary and I shot one of the security guards that was calling for help on his sat-phone, picked up the bloody receiver - the voice on the other side said, "Hello? What's going on there?" so I replied, "The site is being attacked by a crocodile-monster!" [Avoiding the Truth Technique] to which they replied, "Very funny, asshole, this line is for emergencies only." and hung up.

I hear the Bailey's are pushing for Van Hollen.

It would be easier to fire him out of the solar system than into the sun.

Depression doesn't work that way, unfortunately. I hope this guy gets some support.

She won't be missed.

In the last game set in WoD that I played in (EvWoD) my character had a hell of a time keeping a lid on the antics of my circle. Lots and lots of convincing people the Truth is too painful to believe.

A good point. I certainly think if we start legislating people's rights away it's reasonable to ask "Is this actually a problem?" before proceeding.

 

Can we stop trying to beatify this psychopath? It's possible to be against violence and still condemn Kirk and his violent legacy.

 

I recently got a fairphone and I want to move my pictures, contacts, messages, etc. from my old android phone to the new one. My initial search found some apps that do this but they look like absolute privacy nightmares. What is a good way to accomplish this without handing my phone contents out like candy to whichever malevolent spyware developer?
