/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Why is the stream title "Circus Comes to Town", when there is no circus?
Was that a commission fuck up or something?

>>11329151
I mean, a carnival is technically a circus, so...

Previous thread: >>11199204

>>11329151
Yeah. i guess, it was a carnival.
just using stock phrases, like "party hard"
no need to be a scientist about it.

So,

Yuul Looks like the Joker now

The Party joined the dance instead of wondering what was up and trying to stop it (being more white could have solved a shit-ton of problems, eh?)

ICP dragged the carnival into the void river of the underworld.

They fell out of a 3-5 story window and took only 3 bashing.

Gura was gonna light kids on fire, for some reason, when the plan was to light up the other booth.

Gran Gran is a Sin-Eater

Everyone is going to get pulled under the dark river and evaporate

>>11330627
Sounds about right (but some people also hypothesized that Granny may be an ex-Krewe member or a hunter from a cell that worked alongside Sin-Eaters instead).

>>11330627
It's going to be hilarious when they fuck up horribly next game and Mori will again have to deus ex them so entire party won't just die.

>>11331114
>again

>>11331114
>>11330627
>Watoto spacewalks into the void
>finds a gravity spot, and sits down at a window
>rest of party runs right in and as it turns out they run past Watoto and into open air....

yeah.

our last thread had horribly great gets...

>YuulBAlwrightLivingInaSociety.jpg
So when is Ina gonna make more art for TTRPG?

>>11331300
Yes again.

>>11332779
Nah. I think Kiara looks like she wants to get out and the mid season finale looks like the perfect time to do that. They should do one-shot sessions instead with different people and different systems.

>>11332941
>Looks like she wants to get out
So how many levels of delusion do you have, exactly? Ignoring that you can see
>she 'looks like' she wants to get out
what else do your crystals and cards tell you, O goatfucker?
Agree with you on the one-shots - though not with your likely desire that they supplant "mythrape"

>>11332743
At this pace every session we'll have Yuul art

>>11333695
this is funny, i get the impression she's the least involved. the most likely to leave. but, she does this.
is she just a wet rag? i get the impression she's more than she expresses.

>>11334000
NTA but to me she's just Ina. She had a watchalong of Cats movie with Kiara where she mostly remained quiet and shook her head while Kiara went nuts and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I might get this wrong, but even if she is the quiet type I want to have her around to balance the wildness of the group.

>>11334745
Cats movie? oh god....

>>11330786
Bertha is one of the original cell members. Ina noticed it right away and almost asked, but she got shouted down when Scout decided to start hooting over something Madam M said. Kinda sucked because it was a big missed lore moment.

>>11334000
Ina's just quiet and observant. Gura and Kiara take up a lot of e-space when it comes to collabs, so it can be hard for her to hop in and assert herself in the ways they do. It's also very in character for her, as Yuul is a massive shut-in, having her act boisterously wouldn't make sense. Watch any of her drawing streams and she talks more, but she's still very reserved, even when she's the only one on the screen.

After talk thread in /tg/
>>>/tg/81706066

i see a thread.
posting autism.

>>11328716
Episode 4: watching the party members be complete clueless cowards for 2 and a half hours.

>>11340750
Cowards? Tiara shooting a cursed merry-go-round and Watoto stealing their Voodoo dolls from a ghost shopkeeper that can take part of your soul doesn't sound very cowardly to me.

>>11337421
I would love to see them play one of the 40k RPGs from Fantasy Flight.

>>11334000
Normies think Ina is the best roleplayer for some reason, I am not even kidding. She won some Youtube poll for best roleplaying, literally beating Gura/Scout and all the comments were like "durr Ina good roleplay cause dice roll luck what a carry"

Takosharts are so fucking braindead

>>11344941
90% of the viewers have only played videogame RPGs, they think being the most successful is playing well.
That's why I'm glad there's a thread here on /tg/.

>>11330627
Gran Gran is just an anchor

>>11337421
That better be GtSE2e. The glorious janky mess of 1e would literally grind the game to a total stop anytime they wanted to do anything

>>11337421
Good call on having DSA with only 3 (and at least somewhat experienced) players, otherwise it'd probably be too slow to play while streaming.

Jannies moved the /tg/ thread to /b/ because they're apparently retarded.

>>11344201
Look man I know it's cool to hate on Vtubers, but why would you do that to them?

>>11350048
Can the thread be moved back?

>>11350938
Could be, but it won't be

>>11350938
Easier to make one than hoping

>>11353202
Why would you make a new one?

>>11337421
Call of Cuthulu would be a good idea for hololive, it's built for one shots and smaller adventures. It might be a bit too serious for them though. WoD can be serious but it can also be a bit silly.

>>11353506
FBK ran CoC or at least very similar systems before, so it can definitely work. Of course, CoC is the standard TTRPG in Sunrise Land which might make it easier to run.

>>11353506
I love CoC in the early 20th century. I played a two-parter of it once, first the characters in WWI and then post-war in the Weimar Republic. I usually prefer campaigns but it felt right to only play for a bit with that system.
Ironically, I survived the Russian soldiers and Polish werewolves on the Eastern front but got sacrificed to summon some demonic being while visiting a nice castle in peacetime.

Did any of you end up making hunters from the sheets that were shared last thread?

>>11359115
Working on mine. Curious question, what's the most accurate list for merits / flaws? Edition-wise.

>>11359527
I'd use this site as a reference for each, any HtV2e merits aren't going to be there yet though.
http://wodcodex.com/wiki/Category:Merits
The books are really the best places to look though, as those have the actual rules for them. For Hunter 2e specifically you wouldn't need more than Hunter 2e, Chronicles of Darkness, and Hurt Locker. Even that is a massive list of Merits, although there aren't many new merits in Hunter 2e really. If you need any books I can upload any you can't find.

>>11359527
http://wodcodex.com/wiki/Merits,_Universal_(2nd_Edition)
Ctrl+F cofd and you should be set.

Have a thing Vampires can do.

Looks like in two weeks we will have back to back HoloEN and NijiEN TTRPG.

>>11366253
They should do a crossover episode, Jetsons meet the Flintstones style. Or an exhibition match in an arena. Either way.

>>11337421
>Star Trek Adventures
I fucking wish. And not just because I'm one of the rare few still streaming it these days

The last session was probably my favourite first half of any mission they've done so far. I doubt the finale will be as great as last mission's, but so far my expectations have been exceeded.

Alright, my class is done but I'm currently eating before going back home. If any of you guys have CofD lore-related questions about last session, I'll try to answer them to the best of my capabilities when I get back (provided the thread doesn't get archived by then).

>>11376934
How likely is it that Grandma is a Sin-Eater?

>>11376934
It's almost totally established that Bertha is a former hunter. What kind of power / quirk / merit might she have that allowed her to see her dead husband when the carnival was transported to the shadow realm? Lots of anons were calling her a sin eater during the stream.

>>11377414
>>11377639
Fuckin hivemind, jej.

Bump.

>>11348889
hey, thanks! Someone gets the reason i did a small detail!
....maybe i should just post them all anyway

>>11370650
real question: who would play which crew station?

>>11379750
Please do, I'm interested in meme creation autism.

Yuul is the designated perception monkey.

I followed along and summarized the last session, let me know if I missed anything important.

Session 4
>The team is awarded with $500 each for their mission, plus $100 for a few odd jobs
>Lady M informs them that they seem to have doppelgängers at the popup beach carnival in town
>Tiara buys some cyanide from the kid at the hideout, but swindles him out of a kiss for a $50 discount
>Scout buys a motion sensor from him, convincing him that a kiss would make three of his legs fall off, then beating him in an arm wrestle for a better discount
>Yuul gets a kitchen knife and tear gas after persuading him to slash the price in half
>Watoto buys a bamboo blow gun and 5 darts for cheap after intimidating him with kisses
>Scout gets a Brash Candicoot mascot costume
>The kid tries to sell Tiara a high quality lockpick, but Scout points out she has a lot of hairpins, so he closes up shop in anger
>Vic drops them off at the carnival with Bertha, and Tiara proposes a safe word to her (lignonberry jam) to know it's really them
>Tiara is very curious about a new soda brand called Straygo that everyone seems to be drinking, so she takes a sip from a stranger's soda, who tells them that the Mad Jester Clan is performing tonight
>Chad is working the carnival and notices Yuul, he lets them know that his brotherhood checked the place out and didn't find anything suspicious
>Noticing that there's a lot of fans of MJC in attendance, they find a face painting booth to blend in better
>Tiara gets Uhu facepaint, Yuul gets the Joker, Watoto gets a mushroom on his forehead, and Scout gets Brash Candicoot (underneath her mascot costume)
>Wearing a clown mask, Vic appears on stage to introduce MJC, while the audience goes wild and sprays their soda all over
>Yuul notices that there's something odd about the duo on stage, how they got into a rhythm and the audience immediately followed along
>The pair on stage start doing a chant to praise a deity and perform a dance, which Tiara and the rest of the audience follows along with perfectly
>Yuul attempts to participate in the dance but fails and draws attention to herself, when suddenly a bolt of lightning strikes the ground in front of her and the sky turns a dark blue
>The ground shakes and the surrounding rides begin to change in appearance, now flickering in a strange neon light, some in the shape of large eyes
>The group heads backstage, and instead of the ocean they see, it's an impossible sight of hundreds of rivers with murky water
>The carnival grounds appears to be floating down one of these rivers, with people trying to swim out but getting swept away
>In the chaos, Tiara shoots her revolver at the sky which causes people to panic and fall into the river
>Watoto takes the initiative to begin getting children to safety, enlisting Scout in the costume to lead kids to a chicken coop
>Bertha returns and tells them about seeing the doppelgängers enter the hall of mirrors
>She also details how she's certain they've entered another world, as she was enjoying a stroll with her deceased husband earlier
>Bertha is familiar with this situation, explaining that the rivers lead to the ocean of fragments, which means everything inside the carnival will fade into nothingness as if it had never existed
>Unfortunately she doesn't know how to return to the real world, but tells them to keep an eye out for any clues
>On the merry-go-round, Tiara notices it operating on its own, with people on the ride chanting in a trance, so she takes a shot at one of the neon eyes
>The eye looks around and starts spinning around fast, then spins in reverse, knocking everyone off and falling unconscious, the ride appearing to return to normal afterwards
>The team makes a plan to visit the other attractions and set things straight
>At the shooting gallery there's four plush dolls that look exactly the same as them, where a hooded ghostly attendant motions for them to take a shot with the nerf gun provided
>Yuul takes the first shot, hitting the doll right in the forehead, but Yuul feels an intense pain in her forehead as well, taking two lethal damage
>To avoid further harm, a plan is hatched for Watoto to steal the dolls while the tent is lit on fire from a hay bale outside
>Watoto swipes them, but Scout falls on her face outside when the attendant investigates the fire
>The hooded figure touches her and Scout begins to have her soul taken away, so she runs off
>With the attendant gone, they clean out the stall and find a doll that looks like Bertha as well
>Heading towards the castle, they notice balls of blue energy floating around
>Inside, the blue energy balls swirl around and lead down into a black void
>Scout gets the idea to tie a rope to Watoto and lower him down together
>He safely appears in a room upstairs near an open window, the void appearing to be a portal between these two sections
>The rest of the group jump in, but everyone ends up falling out of the window due to their speed

Alright, I'm back home. Time to do this.

>>11377414
Her being a Sin-Eater would indeed be the most logical answer.

In case you're wondering what a Sin-Eater is, they're basically people who were brought back from the dead by making a deal with a Geist, ghosts so unspeakably old that they forgot what it means to be human and hitchhike inside their Sin-Eater's head to relive and remember the human condition. Sin-Eaters usually use their second chance at life to help ghosts let go of their past regrets and move on from the world of the living. There's a lot more to it than what the character limit would allow me to explain but that's the gist of it.

Another possibility would be that she's her husband's Anchor (someone/something that prevents ghosts from moving on to the afterlife) or a Mage with the Death Arcanum (as the latter can see and interact with ghosts as well). So to sum it up, we don't know for sure yet, but we do have hints of an answer.

>>11387268
/vt/ has a bigger character limit than most boards, just go ham.

>>11388716
Fair, kek.

>>11387268
Is it particularly unusual for a hunter to become a Sin-Eater?

>>11383999
Kid had exorbitant prices for basic supplies.

>>11380511
ok, i'll bite....
>Geist: players with the closest connection to her, then add an asshole she can really thrash. but not 2 assholes. make the game cozy, just for calligal.
>Hachama would only make sense running a nuts-ass one-shot, and those girls in particular would bounce off her well without hachama falling back to japanese every 2 seconds (but add a possible sub-translator)
>Kronni'd be taking one for the team here; she'd be tard-wrangling so all those spacey girls could go galavanting in the longest running nerd fandom of all time. also, only place Sana fits. let her shine. Add Kiara because she can handle herself. Add Ina because she needs to stretch her legs and ST is relatively cerebral.
>You figured DSA. Include the other fantasy RPG nerd, her bess fwend, and a cunt she can thrash.
>Ina runs a game for her girls. also, she has the IQ and pacing to pull off CoC. It's also less rude if Ina killed anyone, i can see her apologizing the moment it happens.
>Mouse Guard: How adorable can you make an RPG? that is how you do it, in a game where it's a fuzzy critter co-op. also, game is so fucking simple you might as well pack in bodes.
>Cyberpunk: Do you see it? look. Think. what happens when you put THOSE girls in a setting made for drug use, street violence, and back-alley curb-stomping?

i would pay to see Coco doing RPG PVP as a climax vs. anybody, but another crazy bitch would be best....

>>11387268
What are the odds the cancer cell is actually composed entirely monsters/creatures from other splats? Bertha is probably a sin-eater and Vic is a vampire. You think we're going to find Kid and M are a werewolf or a changeling or a demon?

>>11391016
yeah, they need a trip to the dollar store.

>>11390085
It would happen more often than you'd think. Sin-Eaters usually make the deal because they had their life cut short, whether by an accident, disease, etc.

Given that hunter work is a pretty dangerous job, it wouldn't be that unusual to see a Geist take an interest in one and offer them the deal, with them accepting out of desperation.

It's also worth noting that Sin-Eaters are among the more benign of all the playable monsters in CofD and tend to have peaceful interactions with hunters (Mortal Remains even describes one time where Sin-Eaters and hunters work together to kill a witch who enslaved ghosts, and both groups leaving on peaceful terms afterwards).

>>11391225
I'd see Kid being a changeling or a demon (especially of the Descent variety in the latter case, though I'm not sure if Mori knows about the God-Machine, so who knows what kind of demons she'll be using for this campaign).

As for M, I can't say for sure. My bets would be on her being a mage, personally. Not a lot of signs pointing to her being a werewolf or a changeling, but a demon might not be out of the question for her as well.

>>11391185
I like the Mouse Guard group, but probably not for the reasons you like it. Fauna is probably the most book smart EN Holo with probably the best formal education, so we'll get to see her try to wrangle possibly the most potent potential group of derailers outside of JP (where Watame is the derailing queen).

>>11391730
I like the Mouse Guard stream too, because that choice of 5 girls is a pinball machine waiting to happen.

>>11392753
It's a group that will succeed at regicide. There's a spirit of low and destructive cunning that permeates them, which would only be amplified by them working together.

>>11393496
perfect for MouseGuard, which is secretly a game of intrigue

>>11379892
Make Irys the Captain, Sana the Engineer, and Ina Tactical/Security. The others can do whatever, really.

>>11337421
I would like to see some play Kamigakari because I only found one stream and it has only one episode before dying

>>11391225
I have a feeling that Kid's just a regular orphan; that he lives in the bar and has all these items to sell is down to Mori wanting convenience, not any supernatural backstory.

>tfw at work too much
>can't catch up on the last episode, let alone this episode
>don't want retards spoiling it for me
Bros...What do I do?

>>11404960
Listen to it at x2 speed

>>11404960
Listen to it somewhere. You'll find time for it and it's worth it, I promise.

>>11387268
She's not a Sin-Eater, at least not if Calli knows the fluff of her favourite CofD game. She knew she was in the Underworld because she saw a ghost that is always with her. Sin-Eaters can see ghosts in Twilight, if she were a Sin-Eater she'd ALWAYS be able to see him. You'd have to either assume that Gran Gran is lying or that Calli has forgotten a basic aspect of the Bound to think the most logical answer is that she's a Sin-Eater.

>>11406256
That is true, hence why I said it was a possibility among others. I wouldn't put it above Granny to lie about that in order to avoid a misunderstanding, though.

>>11406325
My point is if it's true, her being a Sin-Eater isn't the most logical conclusion to draw. It's a conclusion you have to ignore facts, or make fairly baseless assumption, to arrive at. She's probably just an Anchor. I'd much prefer that as well, everyone being some sort of superhero really does start draw away from the whole point of things.

>>11405241
better to train at 1.25 first if it's something you are interested in and then gradually go up

>>11406439
>She's probably just an Anchor
Yeah, let's be real, that's probably it.

>>11406776
At least if we're being accurate, I will be by no means surprised if she is a Sin-Eater. This is Calli after all.

>>11391016
I've still got no idea why Calli didn't just go "You all get Resources 1" would have made life a lot simpler.

>>11407283
She love haggleing scenes and didn't want to abstract them because she's a shota X oneesan shipper.

>>11407969
That'd be cool and all, but one PC has Resources 2 already and has thus far been able to use it for bus tickets.

>>11406806
Yeah, I get what you mean.

>>11383505
the problem with Ina compared to Kiara/Ame is the fact she doesn't really read her feedback in a way that's noticeable (reading superchats/liking comments) so I feel like any watchers that would have suggestions towards flexing Yuul's strong points are shit out of luck

the best we get is telling Calli to encourage Ina to take incentive more, but she does it in a way that doesn't really accent his strengths (putting him in middle of tense scenes rather than fully utilizing him as a research/crafting source in the downtimes)

>>11408659
if Ina had some backbone + did some of her usual research, she could be flexing it much harder, but she lets herself just get carried along
honestly dunno why the mindset she applies to games/art doesn't translate at all into this, it's almost like she's afraid to be a nuisance
comparatively, Gura and Kiara will both negotiate for their advantages/Merit utility and Ame can at least make her laugh enough to approve her stupider interpretations

Ina's the only one not to play into it at all, when she should be doing a shitload of researching and crafting

>>11410891
>Yuul
>him
Is this an insider joke already?

>>11411348
Maybe she's just not into it

This last session sucked it was just mori handholding and guiding them the whole time. In fact There’s hardly been any “roleplaying “ the whole campaign. Just Mori telling a story and everyone acting retarded

I was genuinely shocked when they left the bar immediately upon making a few purchases from Kid. There's a metal crafter, chemical crafter, traps crafter, and ??? crafter, yet none of them took advantage of the free time they had with special access to a forge, chemicals, and other materials. I thought for sure that Yuul would have let Tiara know that she could try making a poison or strong acid like she was originally intending to buy.

Has Tiara even crafted anything in the campaign yet? I feel like she completely forgot that her character was very familiar with making traps used for hunting. The same goes for most of them, they really need to take another long look at their character sheets and think of some situations where their character could use the skills that they've invested in.
It seems like after the second session and the massive break they've lost some of their creativity.

>>11411348
>it's almost like she's afraid to be a nuisance
Her reserved nature + 5 man collab really puts her in a tight spot to shine. She could be an invaluable support member if she spent a few hours with Calli going over the intricacies of her academic and mental specialties. She strikes me as being uncertain of what she's capable of, and being afraid of her attempts being sandbagged by Calli in front of 12k viewers.

I don't want to say she's been discouraged, but I can name off the top of my head three instances where Yuul / Ina came up with a pretty good idea, but it got lost or buried. Hell, she didn't even bring up her stat changes for Session Three because it would have required her to interrupt and make herself the center of attention (if only briefly). When you understand Ina's IRL background and personality, it makes sense.

>>11404960
Watch it in your free time, obviously.

>>11415809
>sessions are biweekly, sometimes put off for longer if people are on vacation or something

This is most likely the big issue, I feel most of them have forgotten the small details of the game; Scout is a character pretty much build around crafting and she has barely crafted anything outside of her tutorial session. A pretty good example was from their very first session into the second session when they were in the hedge. It went from super tense and suspenseful at the end of session one, and them happy and high energy in the second session which had them all turn into retarded murderhobos. I floated the idea of them watching 30 min to an hour of the previous session just to try an match the tone, but I highly doubt that is gonna happen.

>>11418342
Scout utilized the guild forge during the first session. Let's be real about the setting, sometimes players will pick skills that simply get no use, especially a group that is tailoring a character to the personality, not the game itself. But I do agree with you, they should rewatch the ENTIRE previous session before diving into the next one. Maybe not between sessions 3 & 4 since those are separate, but where they're at now, a refresher is critical. That or Calli needs to give them a very detailed recap before the stream starts.

One thing I want to remind all anons about, these are a bunch of newbs. They're grabbing onto things gradually, too gradually for some I know, but they're not Critical Role, running this campaign isn't their sole job. I try to keep my criticisms (if you can call them that) within a reasonable realm. I always, ALWAYS call them out on flubbed rolls (example: Scout's attempts to run from the ghostly carnie-folk). Not being "totally in the setting" comes with time, but fucked up rolls need to be admonished right away, because it's fundamental that rolls be correct.

>>11419591
>One thing I want to remind all anons about, these are a bunch of newbs. They're grabbing onto things gradually, too gradually for some I know, but they're not Critical Role, running this campaign isn't their sole job. I try to keep my criticisms (if you can call them that) within a reasonable realm.

This is very important to keep in mind considering how many people only watch TTRPGs from more-or-less professional players nowadays and don't actually play, or are only used to videogame RPGs.
I used to play a lot of TTRPGs and, when watching the tutorials and first session, often found myself annoyed with what one of the players did; but in the end, they are new and "double-roleplaying" in front of a big audience that wants to be entertained and doesn't have the patience for extended rules talk, tactics discussion, group prep etc. I was still entertained, and now that I'm more willing to overlook minor problems I'm even more so.

I seriously love vic. Didnt really care about him until i rewatched the kiara. tutorial. can one of the experienced anons tell me everything they know and speculate about vic? Watch this masterpiece if you havent already.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_a7vIJycYig

>>11419773
>a big audience that wants to be entertained and doesn't have the patience for extended rules talk, tactics discussion, group prep etc
I would love a "shootin the shit" stream where everyone is talking about the setting and learning together, asking Calli questions about her previous TTRPG experiences and just becoming more familiar with WoD in general. Hell it could go on for 8 hours and I'd still watch it. I rewatch the CC stream from time to time simply because it carries that atmosphere.

>>11419812
So far, the only thing we know is that he's supposed to be a Prince kicked out from his domain, which means that he's not a 2-bit bloodsucker. In vampire society, a Prince is the lord of a specific location as big as a modern city, so having one being disgraced but managing to dodge decapitation or being hung out to dry at the Sun isn't a small thing.

>>11415809
the crafting problem comes from the character creation stream, the first skill Calli highlighter was crafting, that drove the noobs to use points on crafting. So the girls aren't registering that skill now because they got cemented, like Tiara is a gunner and a bird lady so crafting doesn't pop up, also that is a prep skill and they forgot probably.

>>11421123
>Vic should have 5 in Athletics with how much he runs

>>11421123
It's also a city that openly ignores the Masquerade, so who knows? Things probably just work different.

List of the DM fetishes:
-Rape

what else?

>>11419889
That could work well, but collabs with all five of them are hard to set up. It could just be some of them.

>>11423759
/ss/

>>11423759
Incest, the twins in the mansion were definitely sexually intimate.

>>11424957
I was hoping for that so badly.
>Daisy suddenly loses all interest in the fight, her attention becoming inexorably fixed upon her wounded brother. Shoving Tiara aside, she goes to him and kneels, her breaths becoming heavier as she takes him in his arms, chanting gentle, soothing phrases that stand in stark contrast to her wild, crazed battle cries just moments before. Assuring Dominic that everything will be okay, she smooths his hair back and then...as Tiara and Watoto stare in disbelief, kisses him...in a way siblings would most certainly never kiss

Calli has a penchant for pushing others out of their comfort zone and making them squirm. I want to see more of that.

>>11423759
Short men

i couldn't tell because they were all cardboard this last session, but who did the really knockout Valley Girl impression? was that Kiara in a low voice? Gura sounded like herself

>>11423759
>>11424473
>>11424957
If Vic is any indication you can probably add femdom to the list. Honestly I'm surprised we get to see so much of Calli's MAGICAL REALM.

>>11391185
Hah, great explanations. I'd love to watch Kiara's snarky NPCs in DSA, considering the setting and system are usually quick to punish players who develop murderhobo tendencies.

>>11428625
yup

>>11433830
>???????????
>proof of vocal range and adaptibility
Kiara is way fucking more based than i give her credit for

>>11428625
>>11434368
She was also using a voice changer

>but I can name off the top of my head three instances where Yuul / Ina came up with a pretty good idea, but it got lost or buried.

Can't blame Ina, her tutorial was practically suffering incarnated.

These were when she was in the party.

That's not a Rokea though!

Does Ina actually like horror or even lovecrafts stories?

It's unusual for anyone to become one of the Bound. Sin-Eaters are just a type of the Bound, those that protect the dead and help them pass on. It's not just a matter of unfinished business and an unwillingness to accept death, that's certainly part of it but most people have that stuff. For most of the deaths like that they just become ghosts. Hell, with the way Hunters live you'd expect most of them to end up as at least one ghost, plenty of them would probably make 2 or 3. That's neither here nor there though, because to become one of the Bound you need to bind yourself with a Geist and they're not common. Geists have all but forgotten what it was like to be human, what they were in "life" (no ghost was every actually alive) is juuust perceivable under layers myth and archetype. They're the stuff of urban legends, shaped into monstrous and oft barely human forms, and possessed with desires to match your own. They don't just offer the Bargain to any poor sap who'd like a second chance, they need someone who resonates with their cause. And it is a bargain, your second shot at things isn't just out of the goodness of their heart but because they're after something as well. It might be as simple as helping you fulfil a dream of yours so you can become its own legacy and validate it, or it might demand you settle its mortal affairs whether that's seeing their loved ones taken care of or exacting bloody vengeance on those who wronged it. Responsibility, greed, loss, regret, and rage are all things that might call a Geist but you're far more likely to just die and stay dead, leaving a ghost in your wake, than you are to join the ranks of the Bound.

I didn't see the stream but she loved playing Soma didn't she?

>>11445620
She's okay with them, and she knows it's popular because it fits her theme.

>>11443728
Is 8 defense a lot? The Mythbreakers PCs have like 1-3.

>>11457008
Yes, defence is one of those stats where 5 is considered peak human Olympian levels so an 8 pretty much makes her untouchable by pretty much anyone who isn't a combat monster.

Bumpin off for the night. Stay vigilant, Hunters.

Morning bump.

>>11457153
Pretty strong for a baby shark.

>>11446355
Pretty much this.

Aw shit Millie is also going to play. We may have two Niji campaigns.

>>11457153
>5 is considered peak human Olympian levels

It's not. I often started with 8. But yes it makes you almost untouchable in melee unless it's against multiple enemies.

>>11466915
That's pretty great, even if it's all 5e.
And I'm not sure I could watch Millie play and pay attention. She makes my uuuuooooh meter explode when she has her hat on

>>11458029
If only Ina did her confidence reps...she'd be a great horror GM.

>ttrpg

>>11467000
What rules allow you to start with 8 Defence (if you're using the same system)?
The Hunter rules Mori is using make Defence equal to the lower of two stats, neither of which goes above 5. Are there merits to increase it?

>>11474224
I dream about it as well, Chammers.

>>11419812
Holy shit that has 700k views. Also great facial expressions.

>>11457008
8 Defence is a solid amount, 6 is about average for most enemies though. The girls aren't really built for combat especially well but that's not really much of an issue.

>>11457153
Like other Anon said, that's not the case. 10 would peak, Athletics increase your Defence in CofD. It's not too hard to circumvent though. Pretty, Pretty Princess doesn't apply Defence vs Firearms so using any gun makes them pretty easy to hit. They're also not particularly impressive outside of their 13 dice attack, so ganging up on them is a good way to get through it but just shooting the shit out of them is hard for it to deal with.

>>11474373
In CofD Defence is equal to the lowest of your Dexterity or Wits + Athletics. Which makes 10 the natural cap without Merits or anything. Doing that does require the equivalent of 42 experience, so it's not nothing. Most Armours do reduce your Defence though, so staying that high isn't actually super likely. You can get up to -6 Defence is you're wearing a bomb suit with a helmet.

Starting with 8 requires basically dumping everything into Defence. You need 5 Athletics, and then 3 Dex 3 Wits, or 4/4/4, or 3/5/5. It's pretty much just min maxing assuming you're playing a mortal or template without easy access to a Defence boost.

>The Party joined the dance instead of wondering what was up
To be fair Kiara drank some Juggaloo juice and Yuul thought that's how parties go, both because of their flaws

>>11404960
Just listen to it on your commute

>>11428625
Kiara used a voice changer setting on her GoXLR that she sometimes uses for characters in her RPG playthroughs

Blast from the past coming through.

>>11477878
Back when Yuul was a mad scientist and Gura planned to play a darkness mystery mailwoman lady. Weird times in hindsight.

next episode in 1 or 2 weeks?

>>11478323
2

>>11477878
hot

>>11478022
If Scout ever dies I'd love to see her go back to that concept and make it more fitting to hunter

Have no fear, Mythbreakers is on the case. We're Professionals.

>>11478569
I wish they'd play weekly. Not only it's the best Hololive English content there is they also would learn the game and skills faster that way.

>>11489784
While I fundamentally agree the amount of work all of them have behind the scenes combined with their timezones makes scheduling once a week even more difficult.

>>11489874
They might just swap the day around a bit. Not like Tuesday is exactly the prime time for anyone. I know I'm just bitching at this point, but I love this content and want more.

>>11490205
Yeah but even just clearing 1 day every week on 5 schedules is rather difficult.
In fact regularly switching the day would make it more difficult to plan ahead

>>11446355

I'm confused by all of this. How are ghosts supposed to work if they were never alive? Sineaters sound dope though

>>11429221
Its not Femdom but Mori is Masochistic actually

>>11491220
The idea that they were never alive is just one of many interpretations (more specifically, it's a belief that's common among mages, which may or may not be a way to justify using them to their own ends as familiars).

As far as everyone else is concerned though, ghosts are the soul of a deceased who can't move on to the afterlife (the ultimate truth about this is ultimately up to the GM, anyway).

As for Geists, they have abandoned all of their anchors and memories of their human lives and wandered the Underworld for so long that they have changed, becoming something more like a hybrid between a ghost and a spirit (which causes tension when werewolves get involved, as the latter tend to hunt unruly spirits who cause havoc in the human world).

>>11495155
No, it's literally true. There is no other interpretation for it as even in the Geist core book it's made explicitly clear that a ghost isn't actually the same as the thing it is a ghost of. It's merely a copy, and not always a good one at that. Ghosts also aren't souls, and there are people aware of that fact.

>>11497678
>ghosts are hurt by blessed artifacts which may lend weight to the mage theory
Huh, guess it may be true, but White Wolf is wishy-washy about this, as usual. And like I said, it's up to the GM at the end of the day, which makes the whole argument moot anyways.

>>11499767
It's really not wishy-washy. "Ghosts aren’t, strictly speaking, the deceased people
they resemble. Rather, they’re copies — copies with varying degrees of fidelity" is pretty explicit. But if that's the sort of stance you wanna take why even both talking about it? GMs can change anything they like, that doesn't mean the fluff isn't concrete.

>>11500368
Yeah, good point.

Watoto never got to try his water, did he?

>>11377639
Is Madam M just Mori?

>>11503213
They're all just Mori

>>11503213
Madam M is pretty much just middle aged J-chad

>>11505417
shit forgot the pic

>>11488151
Kek

Will you make more pics to illustrate the campaign?

>>11488151
This is pretty cool. I was hoping someone would draw just how ridiculous they looked.

>>11506636
If anything, Mori's great at achieving comedy through ridiculousness.

Help I'm considering trying to put together a Werewolf: The Forsaken game with all VTubers. I've run/played Vampire before, and seeing Calli faff about has made me want to try out Forsaken for once.

>>11508911
What do you need help with? Running the game, finding players, streaming?

>>11510700
More a joke that I need to be talked out of it. Thought I wouldn't mind pointers towards VTubers that would fit the bill.

>>11508911
Tip number 1, play second edition. Tip number 2, don't play first edition.

I just noticed they have only killed humans until now...
