    pedophile suggestions about the traumas of abducted children from changeling in the world of darkness

    when I think about it all the changeling is terrible, no wonder almost nobody plays it

      WoD, Old and Nu, is a rollercoaster of good and bad writing. Even NuWadofDarkness has some material that could be salvageable, if it weren't so burried under, uh well, Nu WoD.

        Simply put: if you play WoD changeling your character is a child kidnapped by Fae and forced into slave activities, one of the game mechanics force you even to choose the trauma associated with kidnapped by powerful aliens and taken away from home. In a word, the perfect game for the victims of the white van

          So the pedophilia allegation is just from playing kidnapped children? Kinda sounds more like a problem with the reader, if it even is a problem. Not my cup of tea, i don't really like roleplay heavy trpgs, but i can see why some might find it an interesting experience.

            Yeah I don't really know why he went after Changeling for muh pedo undertones when fricking Beast exists. Beast is literally about playing a rapist and child predator who violates people "for their own good". It's also written by an actual child abuser so it's an interesting if disturbing look into the mindset of those sick fricks.

                Playing Devils advocate:

                Its a shit game with shit themes, but I don't think I've ever seen it played where the changelings in ctl were children. They're always 20 somethings or 30 somethings, who were kidnapped in adulthood. A decade or so ago I knew a bunch of people who wanted to play it and I got roped into it a bunch of times because that was what friends wanted to play.

                Its a game about playing trauma victims, yes, but those trauma victims don't have to be kids, and I've never encountered anyone playing it with child characters.

                "runaway abused child, but with a supernatural bent, a hint of Otherkin, and some mild allusion to jacques vallee's alien/fae abduction comparative research" that's sufficiently emo-edgy grimdark, special snowflake, and real world creepy to be right up their alley.

            Yeah, the pedophile game was Beast The Primordial anyway. The entire thing bangs on about how humans need monsters to scare them/murder them onto the right path, and you play as the things that go bump in the night. It never really explains what the lesson in drowning random teenagers in a lake is actually supposed to be, but it sure is something.

            Every single piece of flavor text is about gay people murdering/torturing humans, also usually gay, to harvest some kind of fear energy out of them. It is reaffirmed throughout that this isn't just necessary, but actually good. It adds to this by generating evil false heroes who try to stop you. Not even joking, the act of Beast's existing, feeding, all that, turns regular bystanders into evil jock dude-bros with totally singleminded sociopathic desires to hunt you down. They are depicted as entirely evil, no exceptions, and the book actually says if they weren't evil, they'd be able to resist the desire to hunt you.

            So this is all just pathetic enough at face value, the ultimate power-victim concept where everyone else just can't understand why it's important that you have to hurt them, and it's good that you hurt them, and anyone who tries to stop you is inherently evil. There were some pre-release rewrites and damage control, but it otherwise released exactly like this. Then one of the lead writers was convicted of rape.

              To play devil’s advocate the core book explicitly states at multiple points that the “lessons” are probably just justifications beasts come up with in order to be able to sleep at night, but it’s presented so poorly one can barely be expected to remember that

                I’m pretty sure it mentions in Beast that hunters don’t normally go after Beasts that are just doing their job of torturing innocents.
                It has been a few years since I looked through it though.
                I do recall that the bad guys, heroes, actually being the victims created by suffering the beasts torments but generally lacking the ability to really threaten the beasts. So you end up with victims trying to lash out against their abuser and then getting vilified and hurt more for trying.

                Beast: the Primordial COULD work if you played up the horror element, focusing on you being an evil blight that is only lying to itself. Roleplaying doing stomach turning reprehensible things with a straight face with a completely sociopathic inability to realize that you are the villain that deserves to be punished for it an instead seeing yourself as a victim. It would be terrifying, horrific to play that in my mind but there would be a huge risk of people that don’t get it and take it at face value. The fact that the lead writer himself was the exact type of monster portrayed in the book certainly proves that.
                But even if it was done for that purpose and reason, it wouldn’t really anything that isn’t already accomplished by Vampire.

                >is Leviathan in the same tone as what those two anons write ?
                Hmm, not really. It is a bit closer to the 1st one. As is mentioned, Leviathans are bad for the entire world. They are the resurgence of beings in equal part monster, god and man, and each aspect has its own urges to satisfy. Through stars aligning (or perhaps one might say "coming right") the ancient aspects resurface in one of the bloodline around the time of puberty in a way similar to that but it isn't an alien presence to contend with but rather an awakening of a new part of the person. But they are bronze age monsters that humanity has long since left behind (more accurately cast down) and has no place for. So while you're going through this bizarre puberty, discovering new abilities and urges and thoughts it is really all very, very old. Nothing new under the sun, the Leviathans as a whole have never accomplished anything of note since their height in the ancient days.
                The thing with leviathans is that they don't generally do evil things to torture people on purpose but they have something like the opposite of the Promethean's disquiet called a "wake" that they can't turn off. Everyone around them just likes them more and it builds up over time until the effected break and become slavishly loyal to you as obsessed cultists. And it isn't mind control either because the "control" isn't there. You can try to direct your Wake at someone to overpower their will but actually directing them is troublesome as they go above and beyond in service to you. Ask a cultist to do something simple like "take out the trash" might be interpreted as "Kill my enemies". They're your responsibility because it is your fault.
                And that scenario is the one if you're lucky. Leviathans have something called an Ahab, which is like a Hero in that they broke differently. Instead of love, they hate hate hate the Leviathan and drain power from it in a quest to kill it. And frankly, they're justified in doing so.

                No surprise, slavery isekai wish fulfillment is rather popular these days isn't it?
                There are exceptions in Leviathan though, most notably the Atolls. They're humans that are completely immune to the passive and active psychic powers of the Leviathans. Due to this they are the only humans Leviathans can associate with as normal person and in fact Atolls often seem to have power over the Leviathans as the peace an Atoll can give a leviathan is potent but also rather addictive.
                They're not always nice people either, just immune. Having a super-powerful god-monster that is desperate to be your friend is sometimes an opportunity for manipulation or worse.

                nah Old Man maggot is a Beast example. He stuffs black eggs in every orifice, including your belly button, then he waits. You will fill full, bloated, gassy, sick. You will go to the doctor, the foolish medicine-man will poke your swollen belly and then the eggs will Burst!
                Maggots everywhere from anywhere! And you'll scream and cry because its scary!
                And then the Old Man will come in from nowhere to harvest your fear and leave to do it to some other random shmuck

          So the pedophilia allegation is just from playing kidnapped children? Kinda sounds more like a problem with the reader, if it even is a problem. Not my cup of tea, i don't really like roleplay heavy trpgs, but i can see why some might find it an interesting experience.

          Yeah I don't really know why he went after Changeling for muh pedo undertones when fricking Beast exists. Beast is literally about playing a rapist and child predator who violates people "for their own good". It's also written by an actual child abuser so it's an interesting if disturbing look into the mindset of those sick fricks.

          how is this pedo? this is how the real world changeling mythology goes also, the fae steal human babies and replace them with fairy ones just to be little buttholes or as revenge

        kek, pretty sure this is straight out of one of the Urotsukidoji sequels.

        Yeah, I know. There was a certain public channel around here that would show Akira and LoO once a year, during late night Saturdays.

        Ctech was weird, man. Pity it aged like milk (the idea of Lovecraft lite and animu was less overdone at the time) and its mechanics were utter dogshit, but there was something interesting in all the mess they threw out.
        The reboot is still dead, right?

        There were neat ideas, but the execution was as messy as Braindead's later half. And the design of their portable baby sacrifices, as well as the way they considered religions, was utterly moronic.

        Reboot? Nani?

          Yeah, they tried to throw out a second edition staring with unfricking the rules. The first playtests only had Tagers and were.... considerably less shit than the baseline CTech edition 1. Still kinda dogshit and it simply died off.

          >reboot dead?
          Probably. Tragers we’re my jam. Too bad the system is a cascade of moronic mechanics. Besides Ctech was BUILT to be grimderp + all of the animu. Don’t b***h, homie, that’s what you signed up for. But yeah, frick all that pokerdice bullshit.

          Again, I have a soft spot for CTech. All the animu at once (Eva, blue skinned space babes, mecha against the Old Ones, biopunk secret warfare) but it's essentially unplayable. The production values were also good, the art was inspiring, likewise the designs. Well, maybe not the rape furries. Also, it's funny to think that the Usual Suspects were screeching at Ctech already in 2007 - I remember how amazed I was that some forums considered the game a warcrime, if only we knew how it would end up. If Ctech tried to release nowadays the authors would be hunted and burnt in public, poor fricks.t4rykd

            no monkeys in our story because, because black people ok!

            What I get is, they didn't really have a choice, being a company, but to get rid of it. The slavery and simian shit will get brought to their door if they ignore it, because of course it will, and it's hard to reason for the Hadozee lore today, because of course it is.
            That's why it's irritating. Removing Hadozee lore was a [special] move, but not doing it would be biz suicide.
            Jokes on them for being big biz in the end I guess. Or on us for having content actively stripped from our purchases or whatever.
            What's even more [special] is that WotC could have just made all new Hadozee lore if they wanted, they've redesigned their appearance already, and it's not like Spelljammer had anything to do with 3rd edition.

              Like most assinine social justice issues, if you just ignore it, it usually goes away. Because most of the people complaining don't buy shit in the first place. And even if they do, they're in the minority of the customerbase.

            nice strawman but that's not what it said at all, and it was a very, very blatant planet of the apes reference.

            it's on you for reading into "expiremented on apes become sentient and escape with help of a lab assistant" and turning that into some grand analogy about black people because you subconsciously think "Black person=ape" while you clutch your pearls about imaginary racism.

            What exactly is racist about this? Wouldn't they be portrayed as lazy and untrustworthy if the author's intention was to make a racist allegory of black people in the US?

            Or is it just that a servitor race cannot be humanoid without being racist? Would slapping a few tentacles to that face have solved the issue?

              So the initial problem is that they are called Deck Apes which is US Navy slang for a Bosun’s Mate. That’s something that pre-2016 WotC would have simply ignored the controversy of and post-2016 EotC would have just deleted before it went to draft.
              3e Stormwrack decided that the Bat/Chewbacca people that had existed since they were actually a species in Star Frontier had to go because “fantasy” and made them actual apes which happen to have flaps. They also changed the lore to go from Hadozee having a special relationship with Elves in that they get hired to crew their ships preferentially, to Hadozee being servile to elves they encounter and alway happy.
              Come 5e and the team decide that the Hadozee would make a great Planet if the Apes reference because they now look like monkey/apes, (even if artist still harken back to 2e in some pictures).
              Planet of the Apes, the Movie is the thing referenced because Americans don’t know about the book which is French and set on another planet. As a side note, the initial Planet of Apes movies and TV show evokes race relations in the US in the late 60s deliberately, but it could easily be that WotC didn’t watch or get that.
              So now the Hadozee were magically uplifted by an evil Wizard who some elves help defeat, and the Hadozee swore everlasting friendship with their liberators and now work for them happily.
              Also Hadozee got as a racial ability the ability to reduce damage. Which they never had before until this edition, but does bring to mind a regularly believed crackpot theory in the US that black people have thicker skin.
              The total of this caused people to complain and WotC responded by nuking the whole lore from all reprints and online sources.

        It’s a mix of things. It was a huge departure from 3.5 which had essentially become a sacred cow. The intended web features never fully came out due to the dev doing a murder/suicide. Wizards were no longer I win buttons with a massive spell list. But most importantly, it gamified some terms like powers and listing movement in grid squares so some moronic compared it to WoW and it never recovered from every 3.5 slave clinging to that phrase to the grave.

            After the dev did it, WotC suddenly succeeded that it would be better to start working on 5e.
            If not for that, 4e was going to have a vtt more or less as the main vtts were being developed.

      Mech RPG that uses SotDL mechanics for the Mechs and PbtA-style mechanics for the Pilot interactions.

      Makes the whole pilot thing feel inconsequential and not as effective in comparison to the giant robot fightan.

      Their backstory is that Space Government has gone full Commie after the apocalypse and tries retaking lost colonies. In their third version of this bullshit (because there is no true Socialism without Struggle), they are trying to make post-Scarcity a thing with the use of magic 3D Printers, galactic internet, and heavily-regulated space travel (because their space ships follow the lightspeed limit), their FTL requires big space stations and is like a Chinese toll road. Otherwise, you're stuck doing slowboating.) The only "Hard Sci-Fi" thing they have, and it's like calling White Claw "hard liquor".

        LANCER reads like satire of modern communists/socialists written by someone who hates them. You have the turbo racist second council who builds literally everything that matters and works in the setting, and who sent relativistic kill vehicles to destroy the space Muslims in 500 years which the 3rd council of socialists now hem and haw about. You have post scarcity, but also turbo DRM so you have to suck off the government to get anything you want. The only way for PCs to ever get ahead is to work as mercenaries for the big daddy government or it's approved corporations so you can bomb savage mud huts as part of a pacification/liberation/democratization effort by the all-powerful and all-benevolent socialist progressive third committee. This is all so you can ensure that a handful of people can live in "post scarcity" which is only enabled by raping the outlying worlds filled with primitives. There's also butthole turbofascists who just exist for some reason even through they could just print genuine wealth and magic nanobots if they wanted to.

      honestly, this just sounds like setup for the next main villain after they're done killing off the Eldrazi/Bolas/Phyrexians.

      Cool it with the Holocaust denial, anti-Semite. Sheesh.

      you can believe *A* holocaust took place without believing every alleged survivor's story no matter how obvious it is just half-baked fanfiction.

      i mean, he's not wrong. women do tend to lean more towards less crunchy more character-driven rpgs like Fate or PbtA.
      Honestly, his fault here wasn't his psychiatric assessment of women but his inability to imagine RPGs that weren't D&D, the classic D&D-player blunder.

      Back then, DnD and the very few TTRPGs following it in general were "get loot, get dames, kill monsters, get swole". It was also a very, very tiny hobby space back then, quite literally a newborn in terms of hobbies.
      A very large reason why White Wolf's WoD, particularly Vampire, was able to compete and do so well against DnD, is because it managed to get the audience that DnD couldn't (that being women), as a result of fundamentally different game design.
      The again, Gary does still hit the nail on the head; VtM comes with LARP rules.

          I don't know how you came to that conclusion.
          I came to mine based off of non-meme facts; WoD Vampire was a break out hit in a space dominated by DnD, you can look it up easily with a quick google search. It did and still does have a comparatively large female playerbase, especially compared to what DnD had at the time. You can look that up very easily on google, too. These aren't metrics kept in some obese freak's basement, it's common knowledge.
          As for gary hitting his head and getting brain damage, maybe? I don't know, I couldn't find that on google.
