Love it

And then he either got murdered by PCs or Metuzalah or exploded from Paradox, before turnign into ashtray.

Even in Heroic Fantasy the enemies should be challenging, while in D&D (not even 5e, 3.5 had this issue too), it’s basically inevitable that high enough PCs will rollstomp everything, laughing all the way.

In oWoD meanwhile there is an entire book with ideas how Mages could fix a vampire and what would be the consequences.

Caine congratulates you on making him laugh before killing you.

“Have you seen Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?”

Exalted literally let’s you have your own army of mortals and it functions like an equivalent of grenade in most normal games - something to just throw at the bad guy.

Congratulations for the wedding!

Glad to see you back, lvoe this comic. Is Feyfire a reference to anything?

I suspect you could do that in Mage: the Ascension (CAN YOU GUESS WHAT CAMPAIGN I AM PREPPING?!) I could see it as Prime 5/Mind 3 for super powerful blessing that makes people lose track of thought whenever they’re about to deadname you. A Mind 3/Life 2 would be less pwoerful version, you could probably add Correspondence to increase the radius of this passive effect. I do not think it may even cause too much Paradox either, it’s very Cointidental magic.

You may be onto something here.

I don’t hate D&D, but I did notice how much harder combat gets from DM’s side to prepare, and also how much more bored of it the players are. My players started doing everythign to spend more sessions on their own shenanigans, character moments, roleplay and NPC interactions. The thing is we love our campaign and characters, but are too high level to switch systems. So we’re taking break to play short Mage: the Ascension campaign.

I am now learnign two different new systems, Mage and WFRP, pray for me.

The most unlucky option in this case. Sounds like he should become villain of next campaign.

That last bit makes me think he may actually be a Nephandi, they do have their own techbro faction.

Oh boy, this sounds fun, how did that last one happen?

That is reassuring to hear, hope I will keep doing it right in following sessions then.

Technocracy are ones of the main antagonists, but they’re not entierly evil, they also forced reality to make vaccines to work, among other things. Nephandi on the other hand are worst of the worst, only Pentex and Black Spiral Dancers even tolerate them.

As for Wyrm, Mages don’t beleive in it, for them Wyrm worshippers are jsut a branch of the Nephandi. But Technocracy has ties to Pentex - their own corproate branch, the Syndicate, in particular, had a hand in setting Pentex up, ignored its obvious corruption for nearly a century, had to purge an entire division for beign to chummy with Pentex and still subverted Pentex’s toy-making subsidiary to, instead of making toys that encoruage kids to cruelty, make boring toys that kill kids imagination.

Session Zero was also funny, I had a system-neutral list of things people may find triggering and went through it one by one, and the players (who are all more experienced in WFRP than me) kept going “comes with the territorry” on almost every single one.

This is very wholesome, I love this party, they’re so sweet with one another
