that's a funny first post....

So: who was at fault?
Ice Cream side-quest: Gura.
Van Stolen: Calli's (GM event)
Mugging the Homeless: Gura
Maze of Death: Calli's (GM event)
Mass Destruction: Watoto.

yeah.
Yuul and Tiara really have the brains, but they all kinda flopped.

[Anonymous No.]

The classic arsonist play, and getting 5 successes is just proof that this is the way to solve all problems in an RPG.

*Watoto is backed by a fucking god

The Wyrm foresaw the madness and havoc that Watoto is capable of, and will reinforce the Watoto as he trounces over all that would oppose the Wyrm.

[Anonymous No.]

Only problem I have is Ina, but she wasn't exactly in the environment where she could shine to be fair. Pretty Kino overall. Watoto and Tiara carried (Literally in Tiaras case. I guess those thighs aren't just for show)

[Anonymous No.]

>>6887280
Nah. She realized the character's blunder about "magic mushrooms" so she focused on actual feats of resourcefulness. She herself was pointing out to Gura that fallacy of her suggestion when Gura was suggesting something about her sound gun

While I won't apologize, as that tutorial was pretty bad, I do kneel. Watoto was way better here than in the tutorial.
In terms of contribution for this session

Idk, I still think Watoto was pretty weak. Got a lucky roll at the end that resulted in a cool moment, but other than that it was kind of meh. In fact, everyone seemed rather reserved in this session, I hope they get more talkative later. Tiara probably ended up talking the least, but at least she was the only voice of reason when Gura started tackling a random homeless man.
Overall, Scout still retains her supremacy. Gura's a natural with all that southern country roleplay.

Dont think kiara ever been outside a city center before. I laughed when she thought they could just get a Uber eats.

Scout will shine in an actual extended fight.
but here, we had a chase and some random fuckarounds.

This was a really fun episode and they seemed to be enjoying themselves a lot. I hope Calli adds more ways for Ina to get a little more involved, she was pretty quiet most of the session but I really like Yuul.

It was Tiara who had the idea to track down the van. An alternative possibility would've been just to count the van as a loss and use the motel's phone to call a car rental.

Madam M sucked at allocating funds. Also, Mori clearly wanted to fuck with them by not telling them what they should bring. It should probably be smoother next session since we're past the tutorial part that was at the beginning.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6887932
>Also, Mori clearly wanted to fuck with them by not telling them what they should bring
I felt like they jumped into the mission way too fast. They should have asked stuff like "what the fuck are Malkavians? how do we deal with vampires? what the hell is this hunter cell? can I please have some sleep already it's been 3 days and I'm bleeding out I beg you t. Yuul"

[Anonymous No.]

>>6887847
Except they have no money.
Scout and Yuul are probably flat broken and Tiara and Watoto are lucky to have $100 between them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6888076
Mori pointed out that Madame M didn't have answers, and Vic probably wasn't going to "give himself away" unless someone could talk around his bullshitting. Kid and Granny were probably equally useless for info.

[Anonymous No.]

Does anybody have the character sheets on hand

>>6887932
To be fair she told them they had equipment and facilities available but everyone chose to go try and craft something irrelevant instead of making sure they had basic supplies. They also should have examined the van more thoroughly and at least tried to do some research on what the fuck they were getting into.

Yuul should have money. She has 2 dots in resources.

>>6887440
As someone who plays TTRPGs and Gms almost all the time, all four of them are genuinely good players. I fucking wish my tables were like them.

Ina responds to rolls instantly and doesn’t somehow struggle to remember “/roll #d10<8”. Some of my players don’t even bother learning how to attack using a dice bot after six months, and I’m stuck with them. She puts in effort to figure out the systems and is just sensible overall.

Gura prompts other players to keep Rp going, she asks them for their opinion directly so she can hear what they’re thinking. Things like that take pressure off the Gm, and I love when players do that. Prone to tard-fits but it’s normal, she’s new and excited.

Kiara explicitly knows not to metagame. She was willing to forego an in-character advantage because she doubted her character would have that information. This might seem like a really basic expectation, but it’s surprisingly rare to see a player shoot themselves in the foot to maintain integrity. She had a bad habit of trying to avoid the plot hook at the start, but otherwise is a decent voice of reason.

Ame has, as obviously expected, fixed the mistake of not knowing how to speak OOC. She knows not to try and actively break reality now, as you mentioned. She contributed quite a lot to the session, and is comic relief without being disruptive.

All in all, great session. I thought it was a bit stiff and weird that Mori had video game mechanics translated to an Rp world, but apart from that, everyone put on an amazing performance.

Fifth dot in anything costs 2 points instead of a 1, so it's really becomes to much of a min-maxing for the starting players.

>>6889196
So far the Fae seem to pop up often.
I doubt it will be anything from any one person's backstory, it might just all lead to one thing. Seeing how this hunter cell is supposedly about balance and not murdering everything, I'm not so sure about vampires and werewolves being the main antagonists, but we'll see. Dr. Oopsie really didn't come up at all this session, but for some reason I have a feeling that she might be more important. The whole witch sabbath was curious about her, she says she has figured out creating live, is tied to the fae plotline, and so on. Might not end up evil though, so I'm not sure. Really wish Yuul had contacted her already, could explain quite a few things about what she has seen in the tutorial.

[Anonymous No.]

So Mori definitely told Ame about the Wyrm in detail right?
The Wyrm, "wyrm" & worm joke is definitely from someone that knows what she is doing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6889415
Not in CofD

She also got her tips in roleplay. Good GM. The wyrm jokes are my second favorite part of the session, just after the motel shenanigans.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6889609
The Professor is almost certainly a Loyalist. They knew about/could apparently detect Fetches and were heavily implied to be killing them, told the college kids about fae and changelings and encouraged them to go hunting, and not only called right before the Hook attacked, she even encouraged Yuul to disable the only being nearby that could even slightly challenge the Gentry.

Strangely enough, Ina seems to be playing up her worst personality traits with this character. Ina the vtuber is the most low energy out of EN. If you like her then it's comfy. If you don't like her then it's boring. I like Ina but her acting like a flaky wimp in every conversation is grating.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6891767
Yeah. Ina is probably the one that's not utilizing her's the most.
Encyclopedic Knowledge is currently missing a skill that it should work with, which would've helped with their lack of info during the prep phase.
Automotive Genius should've help Yuul with diagnosing what was wrong with the car.
Resources should mean that Yuul won't really have any troubles with small cash amounts like renting a motel room.

Because TTRPG is a personal Calli project. She had to convince both her players and management. So prime watching time isn't something she had the authority to just walk in and demand.

Madam M is a homebrew hunter cell benefactor, whose appearance is based on J-Chad. Her mannerisms, probably not so much.

More precisely, the Hedge is the frontier between the mortal world and Arcadia, realm of the Fae.

>>6893933
Madam M's cell is new, but there is a Cell in the books about a collection of people who try rehabilitating werewolves instead of outright killing them. Her approach is a bit like that, but I assume she's more involved in keeping the balance between all the supernatural factions running around Mythton.

Ayy coming back at you with some more HtV Lore. This time covering some notable Compacts and Conspiracies. We'll stick to ones known to operate in United States for now.

The Union
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X1KVjq1HbM
An all American compact made up of a rag-tag collection regular average Joes who work hard to earn an honest living while protecting their homes and families from the things that go bump in the night. One of the newest compacts on the scene. They were a collection of hunter cells that came together back in the early 2000's though some groups can trace their origins back to individual cells that formed out of various labor unions from the early 1900's. The Union is by all means a textbook example of what a Hunter Compact is as well as one of the simplest. With Cells sharing resources and working together to take on threats. The Union tends to opt for a more defensive NIMBY posture regarding the supernatural. They don't actively hunt supernatural creatures unless they come knocking at which point the Union will swiftly bring the hammer down on the poor creature stupid enough to wander into their turf. Union Cells can range from your average community watch to kooky backwoods militias operating out of a compound at the edge of town.

Night Watch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByT0FErPgfQ
Started by a homeless Vietnam Veteran, the son of a murdered cop, and their gang-banger buddies in the lawless ghettos of Pittsburgh during the 1980's. These guys got sick and tired of watching their friends, family and neighbors get eaten by vampires and decided to take the fight to them. Their first raid against a vampire haven and their ghoul stooges was such a success that it led their neighborhood to rise up in revolt against their bloodsucking overlords and drove them out of the city. Made up of the homeless and downtrodden. These guys patrol the streets and protect the meek from those that would make a meal out of them. They also fight crime and work to clean up communities they set up shop in. They run several community outreach programs to help folks get back on their feet, clean up the streets, and keep kids out of prison. Though these are often a cover to recruit new hunters.
Imagine the Guardian Angles from New York City during the 80's and you've got the right idea.

Maiden's Blood Sisterhood
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtISFBtGkdQ
From the outside The Maiden's Blood Sisterhood appears to be a normal college sorority. This of course is a cover for a loosely organized compact that works to keep monsters off college campuses. They got their start when one college professor noticed her students weren't actually exhausted from midterm exams but were in fact being slowly drained by a vampire. With the help of some students and some trust worthy faculty they were able to put a stop to its reign of terror. Since then, members who have not only survived but also graduated have achieved recognition in several academic fields and have slowly started occupying prominent positions in society to better further their cause. They are well on their way to becoming a full blown conspiracy. They primarily get their funding from wealthy alumni and grateful students. They do seem to have an odd respect for witches after what was rumored to have been a botched raid on a coven. They're actually known to sometimes work with and even recruit witches to help them on their hunts.

Taskforce: VALKYRIE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkWtthtbQQ8
From your standard Men in Black agents, to shadowy SWAT units wearing full black uniforms and no unit patches descending from helicopters. This Conspiracy got its start back in WWII. Disturbing reports from British and French spies told that Hitler had successfully obtained several mystical artifacts, knowledge of black arts, scored an alliance with a clan of werewolves and a handful of vampires to boot. Originally a humble hunter cell that formed to back during the Civil War where they staged the assassination of Abraham Lincoln (who had died a few days prior to some paranormal entity during a botched rescue operation), Taskforce: VALKYRIE was reorganized to fight Hitlers army of wizards, undead, and werewolves using nothing but their wits and standard issue army weapons. Where other nations hunters failed, VALKYRIE excelled and successfully killed or captured Hitlers paranormal were-soldiers, disintegrated his wizards, and put his undead horde back into the grave. Taskforce: VALKYRIE exists today to protect the United States from supernatural enemies, both foreign and domestic. Working to not only destroy but coverup any trace of the supernatural like they did at Roswell or during JFK's assassination. Thanks to Uncle Sam, they have all the latest toys to play with. From bullets that can hit ghosts, to grenades that explode like miniature suns.They're also secretly funded by Vampires who sometimes use them to take out their rivals

MBS are known to recruit witches and not all hunters want to simply kill monsters. Some would rather study them and conduct experiments, perhaps interrogate them for information, or use them as a powerful ally in their fight against other creatures werewolves HATE vampires you know.
Hunter Organizations also aren't necessarily obligated to assist each other in killing monsters and sometimes they do come to blows over various issues. Whether it comes down to doctrine, resources, ethics, or simply ideology. Fights do sometimes happen.
It's entirely possible that MBS were looking to expand their ranks by incorporating Sigma into their compact but Chad, for some reason, turned them down and/or started poaching their recruits.
Yuul has direct access to Dr.Oopsie and whatever weird shit she's up to which makes her a valuable asset to any hunter organization that can recruit her as an informant. I'm sure Yuul is going to absolutely look forward to becoming even more popular in the coming months. :^)

The Wyld, Weaver, and Wyrm are known as the Triat. No one knows if they are really powerful spirits, forces of nature, or scripts God left to try to automate his job before he went on holiday. But in any case they're basically almost the strongest entities in the setting.

The Wyld shits stuff out - uncontrolled creation.
The Weaver shapes stuff and tries to preserve it.
The Wyrm eats stuff the Weaver makes so there's room for the Wyld to shit more stuff out for the cycle to continue.
The Weaver eventually couldn't stand the Wyrm eating its shit and went mad, so it trapped and imprisoned the Wyrm. The Wyrm went batshit insane as well from not being able to fulfill its purpose, broke out, and decided it would be a good thing to eat fucking everything instead of just pruning creation like before.

Alright anon, a little bit of lore for context. In Werewolf: the Apocalypse, the triat of primal spiritual forces has Wyld (creates), Weaver (structures) and Wyrm (cleanses). The Weaver got pissy over their toys getting destroyed, imprisoned the Wyrm until it became extremely mad, to the point of turning into a corrupted force of incontrollable entropy. Flashforward a whole handful of centuries later and the Wyrm has a myriad of things built for the sole purpose of complete destruction and decay, one of them being a Nexus Crawler, which doesn't even has a set loyalty tothe Wyrm. This motherfucker is straight up some final boss tier stuff. A pack of high Rank Werewolves, that are the closest thing to a gang of tanks with fur and fangs, can only hope to come out in one-piece when facing this critter, tackle it head on is pretty much a gigantic No.
I personally was totally fine if Watoto cut a deal with a shitty sludge Bane, but this is some spicy shit, good on Mori for throwing it into her game.

If she's using Roll20 then she doesn't need any macros. CofD has sheets that do all that for you, she should just be using an actual character sheet.

Yes, but that would require either her or everyone else actually entering in the values into the character sheets and trusting them to be kept up to date. I deliberately didn't do a guide on how to enable them because it's easily 30 min to an hour of work whereas this method takes <5 minutes max for the same payoff.

Except without all the benefits of actually using the R20 sheet, like having them actually be able to reference their merits for once. Sheets are more than just rolling dice.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6902922
Again, I am fully aware of that. But you need to consider time as a factor here. Unless they decide to do this long-term (i.e. past the 5-6 sessions planned) then there's zero benefit to doing all the work on inputing sheets. Trust me, I've been GMing on Roll20 for many years. When given the choice between a simple one-button macro and a character sheet, you're looking at the difference between 5 minutes and 1 Click against 1+ hour(s) of GM overhead and 3-5 Clicks to get it to roll. You might not think that's much. To someone like Calli though? All she and the girls need right now is the 1 button macro.

Merits are never going to come into play as is, and they all need to redo the mess of their sheets anyway.

And there we see the "problem" here. YOU think they need to be doing more work than they already are to enjoy the game.

Also, you misread. I said Merits aren't going to come up as is, because they don't know what they do right now. Not that they won't come up at all. If they know what they do they'll come up. It's happen in Kiara's game, it's happened in this session, people mention Merits but they get ignored because nobody knows what they do.

>>6903186
If they're not remembering them now on their own character sheets, then they're not going to magically remember them just because they're on a sheet in Roll20. You act like the Roll20 Sheets are going to magically fix things. If anything, they add needless complexity and will mean the girls will forget even MORE things. This is how I know you've both never been a GM yourself and are in no games of your own. Anyone in either case would know that characters sheets are more trouble than they're worth unless you're doing a full campaign.

Are you being dumb just to make an argument? Roll 20 lets you paste all the rules text in. They'd know what they do because they'd be able to read the rules at any moment they like.

Just go chill out a bit and stop getting worked up because I disagree with you. It's childish, it's just a fucking game.

My uninteresting thoughts on yesterday's stream:

>Tiara
Started off pretty bitchy, not sure if it was going to be a likeable character. But improved a heck of a lot near the end. Kiara does well trying to move the story along. Uhu seems a little bit OP and I wonder if Mori clicked onto that near the end.

>Watoto
A really solid redemption for what is considered the worst out of the tutorial sessions. Is clearly going to be a fun comic relief character with the potential for some interesting interactions. Ame is doing a good job and made some good contributions.

>Scout
Gura's RP started off really strong at the start, but seemed to fade about halfway through. Still managed to move the story forward a lot, with plenty of meaningful contribution. Has the potential for some strong RP as long as Gura can keep her energy levels up and not fall asleep.

>Yuul
Not really feeling it just yet. Yuul's personality appears to be similar to Ina's herself. But I know we can get some interesting stuff from Yuul in future sessions. Also had a very big contribution near the end, so it's not all bad.

He seems fine for a three dot Animal Companion. How many dots does she have again?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6904414
Good thoughts, most of this is similar to my impressions. Thinking about it more I am impressed by all of them.

>Tiara
A character who is distrustful on new people will always brick in the first session. Thankfully she was played in a way where she bonds super fast and pretty hard.
Scout did well to bridge the awkward beginning by taking the lead while Watoto did well being nice to Tiara and offering her an "in" into the group that Tiara took.
Uhu was already taken from Tiara in the tutorial and doing that too often would get stale fast. And seeing how crazy the crafting abilities of the other three are he doesn't even seem that OP for now.

>Watoto
Solo session was weak but he really bounces off of the other characters well. As a nice guy living in his own world he can ground Tiara and Scout a bit as strange as that may sound.
The character seems to work well with Ame's collab autism - Watoto doesn't need many words to make a contribution.

>Scout
Honestly contributed the entire session. But she had to take the lead in the beginning because Tiara refused to do so and the other two aren't really cut out for that.
Holding back a bit once the other players started to contributing more was the right call on Gura's part.

>Yuul
As many feared she is a bit too passive and her skill set is very narrow.
Mori did a good job making the entire second half of the session to be focussed on the car to make Yuul relevant. She could have just let them drive off after getting ice cream, make the party reach their destination and end Yuul's usefulness but instead we got a junkyard adventure turned into hedge maze all while in the car.
They also remembered that Yuul is the only one who can talk on the phone. Tiara has her speech impediment, Scout can't hear properly and Watoto is Watoto.

Overall they did all great. If Ina pipes up just a tiny bit more this party will be amazing all around.

[Anonymous No.]

I don't really understand why people are saying things like some characters had a 'slow start' or 'disappeared towards the end?' Isn't it better that all of the characters had their chance to shine? In many cases I think it's better that the scenes only have a couple of main players or otherwise it can get convoluted real quick. I honestly think only Ina was too quiet but that was a risk with her character being the way she is. I also didn't like the fact that everything seemed like a joke to Watato but granted, there was nothing serious going on. But there's limitations to being the comic relief character and I generally don't like it. Never go full retard.

But the most important thing is that the girls are having fun.

Watoto was the one stopping Scout from beating up the homeless guy even worse. The other two were just gonna leave them wrestling on the ground by Watoto said "That's enough."
And on the junkyard Watoto tried to shoot their pursuiers, ineffectual as it was. That's a more aggressive action than anything he did during his tutorial where he usually just hid or ran away.
There is an actual character underneath the joke and he might be the most upstanding one in this group. Scout is too angry, Yuul already attempted murder and whatever sense of justice Tiara has is overwriten by her hatred of strangers.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6904414
Pretty much agree, here is my take on it:

>Tiara
kiara showed once again that she is a stage person and an entertainer at heart (I wonder if she was a Theater-kid)
Trying to go for a more RP personality (being a stuck-up bitchy noble) especially when that means being openly hostile made her kindness in the second half of the session even more endearing!

>Watoto
Oh man what a redemption arc, integrating well into the team dynamic, especially during the second half.
The only issue is that the comedian role could grow stale in future sessions.

>Scout
Very funny, Made me want to wach her tutorial session, I always had the 3h stream sitting in my backlog never really in the mood, but now I have to wach it sooner.

>Yuul
Probably the most important character of the group from a gameplay perspective (in this session at least, with combat not being a big thing yet)
Being both the designated driver and a reconnaissance expert are crucial skills.
The more it pains me to see that she felt kinda stale and not „there“ yet
A big contrast to her tutorial session which I found to be the 2nd best so far, might just be the scenario tho…

Conditions are. 1e had basically the same idea here though. If you're more familiar with oWoD you'll know that Flaws in that game game you a persistent negative effect for a 1-5 points of XP to spend. The problem with this method was it made them very gameable. People would take Flaws they knew would impact them little or not at all, just so they could get some XP to start off with. It also meant that you couldn't actually balance their XP payouts, because in some chronicles a 1 XP Flaw could be way way more punishing than a 5 XP Flaw that might never come up. In nWoD this was dropped, and Flaws became an optional rule. So how it worked there was they still worked as a persistent negative effect but you don't get XP for taking them, instead they gave a point of XP any time the effect significantly impacted you. You could only get this point of XP once per session but it meant that if a Flaw was really prevalent you got an appropriate amount of compensation, and if it wasn't you still got an appropriate amount.

2e takes this sort of idea and applies to to all sorts of positive and negative afflictions and calls them "Conditions". Each Condition has an way to "resolve" it to clear it from your PC, when you do that you gain a Beat. If you don't remember from the session a Beat is 1/5 of an XP (1/3 in their case). On most Conditions the resolution is generally not going to be something good, so it rewards you for RP as if your character is actually the thing that Condition represents. If the resolution isn't a bad thing you get a rewards because the Condition was a bad thing, and if it was a good thing then the Beat is simply part of the reward that earned you the positive Condition in the first place. The direct analogue to Flaws are Persistent Conditions. As the name implies these tend to stick around, instead of getting a Beat on resolution each has it's own set of triggers for giving you a Beat. Typically it's the same as Flaws, which it hurts you in some way, but it can be other things. Like Flaws this is a once per session Beat. Persistent Conditions can be resolved, they just often take a whole lot more to do so. So if you want to be blind, you just take Blinded as a Persistent Condition.

Additionally, lots of Merits in 1e and 2e have Drawbacks. So Fame might give you an amount of influence with certain groups, but it also makes you more likely to be recognized and remembered by those people. Small-Framed means you can hide and be unnoticed easier, but you lose a point of Size (and Health) for it. So parts of Flaws ended up in there too.

Yeah, that's on Mori. Kiara asked multiple times if she can do this or that and Mori just said yes.
A minor mess-up, nothing that can't be fixed retroactively by having her put some points towards the correct merrits.
I would be surprised if she wasn't told about this already so next session Tiara should have the right merits.

"Dots" are ranks in Attributes, Skills, Merits, or other abilities. You buy dots with XP. For a normal mortal game, these are the costs.
>Attribute: 4 Experiences per dot
>Merit: 1 Experience per dot
>Skill Specialty: 1 Experience
>Skill: 2 Experiences per dot
>Integrity: 2 Experiences per dot
So if you want 4 dots in Athletics, that's going to cost you 8 XP, which is 40 Beats (24 in Calli's game). If you look at the merit attached here >>6905387 you can see that's three dots which means it costs 6 XP. For most things you can buy them one dot at a time, but for Merits with a fixed amount of dots like the example I just used you have to spend all the XP at once.

>Do Hunter games typically have that home base you return to after every mission?
Oftentimes yes. Not necessarily one populated with NPCs. Sometimes they're just where you stash your weapons and gear. Hunters are just regular people roped into supernatural things, so having a place where they feel safe is generally a priority.

>Was the mission selection a bait and switch or will they get around to it eventually?
I wouldn't be surprised if they were always going to end up where they did. If you've never played a TTRPG before, these kinds of things are extremely common. Like, you might get a quest to go kill the Ogre of the Cave or the Dragon of the Tower. No matter which you pick, you'll be traveling through a mountain pass infested with goblins and a swamp with either the cave at the end or the tower.

>Did the vehicle run away all by itself?
Maybe. Maybe it got towed by some scavengers, maybe the sniper grabbed it to lure them, maybe it was something else entirely. (Pic probably not related because I don't think Calli has read the book, but it's just an example of many different things that can happen.)

>Who was the sniper?
Possibly an arcadian huntsman? They usually are hunting down changelings, but maybe this one is going after fresh playthings. This isn't really the M.O. of fae, but who knows? We don't have much information to go off just yet.

>Do the hedges in the Hedge always look like random shit like junkyard piles at first?
Not really. Fae don't generally like iron of any kind, so they probably wouldn't head to a junkyard very often.

>Will the bum ever get his cart back or was returning it just another promise Amelia won't fulfill?

>Do Hunter games typically have that home base you return to after every mission?
Typically, but it depends. Tier-1 chronicles might have some dude's garage or the back room of a bar be where you Cell plans out your next move, but you'll all be going home to your families at night really. Tier-2 chronicles will have a little more infrastructure too them, like a clubhouse or a dedicated space that is just for the Vigil. Compacts will fund these places and you might even have a boss to report too. This could include sleeping quarters too depending. Tier-3 chronicles will almost certainly have networks of safehouse to use in the field, and then large complexes where the Conspiracy is set up that you'll likely have to report back to.

>Was the mission selection a bait and switch or will they get around to it eventually?
Impossible to know. The whole thing is super fishy though, M's Cell is set up to be a massive trap for the group. It's pretty much just screaming "We're the fucking bad guys!". But whether or not Calli has that in mind is currently unknowable.

>Did the vehicle run away all by itself?
I might have missed the part you're referring to.

>Who was the sniper?
It's a True Fae of some sort, my money is on the Arcadian Hunter. That guy is all about the hunt and, specifically, Wild Hunts. A Wild Hunt is what the True Fae do to capture escaped Changelings, and with the Prof. having what appears to be parts of a Fetch then Changelings are going to be pretty involved at some point. The Prof. might even be one.

>Do the hedges in the Hedge always look like random shit like junkyard piles at first?
The pathways to the Hedge are pretty limitless, anywhere that's so quiet you hear yourself breathing, anywhere strange and frightening, and any place between places, are all good candidates for the Hedge. So it could be an abandoned park, a quiet beach, a forest clearing, or even an abandoned junk yard. The Hedge will shape itself to the terrain it's in, but there are a few constants. Firstly the Hedge is always an impossible maze, an overwhelming tangle of paths and roads, strange echoes of the mortal world mixed with the otherness of Arcadia. Time moves totally differently in the Hedge , sometime quick others slow, it might take hours for a minute to pass in one section but then turning the corner might have minutes pass quicker than you can blink. The major one though is that brambles and foliage of the Hedge cover everything you see, you might be able to tell what's supposed to be an office block, or a stack of cars, but the thorns are always there.

>Will the bum ever get his cart back or was returning it just another promise Amelia won't fulfill?
It'd be a funny joke, but I'm going to bet with the sorts of schedule they're playing on it'll be forgotten about. Time passing as it does might mean the bum is dead by the time they leave too.

Integrity and its other splat equivalent stats generally give you big bad conditions when you take an action that drops the integrity. These can be used to gain beats like other conditions, but are often more cumbersome to remove.

When the stat hits zero, for Hunters at least, they generally become what is known as a Slasher. A type of serial killer. The GM will take over the character and often use it as an antagonist. A clean up your own mess style antagonist for the rest of the (hopefully sane) group of hunters.

I don't think they mind any iron derivatives as long as it isn't /iron/ anymore. Haven't played changeling in years and haven't even read the 2e version, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't care.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6906139
he fae are creatures of story and myth, not of science, so they don't care about stuff like that. Iron is also more conceptual than chemical, steel might be mostly iron but it's conceptually steel. A sword is steel because the concept of a sword is steel, even if the sword is mostly iron chemically. A big wrought iron fence is iron though, everyone knows that so iron is what it is. Other metals have no relevance to them, it's only iron. Regular iron isn't really a massive pain for them, it doesn't get effected by fae-born magic, and will pierce and such defences. Cold iron is the real problem, that's the thing that causes aggravated damage to them. Cold iron is simply hand-forged mostly pure iron. Temperature does not play a role despite the name. You also can't cast it, produce it on a mass-scale, use magic, or anything else like that. Forge it by hand, and it's cold iron.

They don't have the cart anymore, sadly. It's left behind in the junkyard so the bum will probably never get it back.
At least he still has his other stuff since Watoto went out of his way to neatly pile it up.

With how Mori runs the campaign I can she the bum being an informant for a future mission. And he will be less than pleased to see Scout again.
He was pushing his shopping cart around in the dead of night in the middle of nowhere - it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to only be there in the first place to keep an eye on the junkyard because he is somehow involved in supernatural things.

It's not exactly sanity, it's more stability. It represents a character's psyche and self-image. High Integrity has 2 general benefits for CofD, and then a couple more in HtV2e. It's first benefit is that high Integrity grants a bonus to Breaking Point rolls, theses are things that make you lose Integrity. So the more you have the easier it is to keep, and inversely low Integrity imposes penalties. Succeed or failing a Breaking Point effects you the same, out side of failure meaning you lose a dot of Integrity. You gain one of three annoying but not awful Conditions, but it's the dramatic failures that are the really big deal for this. When your dice pool is lowered to below 1 dice, you roll a "chance die" instead. This has a 10% chance of a success, and 80% chance of a failure, and a 10% chance of a dramatic failure. A particularly traumatic event for a low Integrity character can be hitting -6 or -7 dice, which is typically enough to make you roll a chance die. Which means a 10% chance you'll gain a really debilitating Persistent Condition that could potentially get you killed as it can outright cripple you. So, high Integrity means less bad stuff to worry about.

The other one is that it grants bonuses to Abjuration as well as Warding and Binding attempts. Both of these things are vital tools in dealing with Ephemeral Entities, if you're going up against a spirit with low integrity you're not going to have a fun time. It can be a +3 bonus for 10 Integrity, down to a -5 for 1 Integrity.

For Hunter it's more of a big deal. Firstly there is "The Code" a set of beliefs a Hunter places value in that determines their Breaking Points. When they have high Integrity they have more Breaking Points to deal with, as they lose Integrity they lose some of them. They're split into high/mid/low tiers. So a high Integrity Hunter would face a Breaking Point for causing significant harm to a person, at mid they'd have to kill a person, and low they just don't care and have to torture a person before it effects them. Breaking Points at lower tiers are harder to resist though.

Next up as you grow more callous though Integrity loss you gain Vigilant as a Persistent Condition when you hit the mid tier. It means you have to spend Willpower to avoid looking into potential supernatural dangers, it makes you jumpy and easily Spooked (a Condition) as you're always looking over your shoulder, but it lets Virtues (your best trait) grant Willpower in excess of your total and it grants a Beat when you alienate a normal person because of the Vigil. If it drops further and you become more withdrawn you instead become Merciless. Works basically the same except now its your Vices (your worst) that let you exceed maximum Willpower, and you can get a Beat from alienating other Hunters too. If your Integrity drops so low that it hits 0, you become a Slasher. A deranged killer that's a monster all of their own, at this point you hand your sheet to the GM and make a new character. Slasher's like this can be redeemed but it's hard work

Integrity is also tied into Touchstones, these are people/objects/places that keep your character grounded. The Vigil is dangerous work that requires separation from who you protect, Touchstones help you keep your feet on the ground. Touchstones get "attached" to specific dots of Integrity, if you are currently attached to a Touchstone it provides a bonus against Breaking Points. If you lose the dot of Integrity that Touchstone is attached to, you become detached form them and if you have no attached Touchstone you gain a penalty instead. there is a little more too them as well, but that's how it works for Integrity.

Then you've got some little bits here and there, like one of the special Hunter power sets is modified by it, and a few other bits. So it's not a massive deal in CofD, is important in Hunter, but it's not likely to come up at all because that's 2e rules they almost certainly haven't read.

While I do doubt that they have read HtV2e, I will say that Calli did drop one half-mumbled line where she corrected herself, saying something like "World of Darkness... actually, technically, Chronicles of Darkness" which, combined with her accurate description of beats, makes me think that she has at least browsed through the Chronicles of Darkness book since the last few sessions.

Of course, integrity is probably not going to come into play at all. Not for a short five session campaign where it is never going to come into play in any significant capacity. If this is something that the girls want to continue into a season two (and I hope it is), I imagine the more fringe and esoteric rules will become more relevant, including integrity.

The Hedge is never truly safe, but there are Hallows to be found.

Plenty of splats are going to let you do that. Morality stats are unique across the board, and what incurs a Breaking Points is different for all of them. Mummies go around murdering anyone they like and nothing bad necessarily happens to their Memory for it, for example. The Code is certainly unique in it's ability to be so open to interpretation though, arguing about the Code isn't really a thing other splats get. 1e had a lot more of the mutable with it, which isn't a thing in the 2e book, but it might happen on release or in the companion.

Hunters also have other advantages, they are mortal for a start which means they have access to the entire range of Supernatural merits that other splats just can't learn (Outside of super niche stuff like the Coils of Zirnitra). So they can all learn a vast range of stuff from Telepathy, Psychokinesis, Aura Reading, Animal Possession, and so on. Lots of unique powers there. They're also able to get Lesser Templates. You can't have a Hunter that is also a Vampire, but you can have one that's a Dhampir, a Wolf-Blooded, a Atariya, a Lost Boy, and Immortal, a Skin-Thief, or many many more. Then you've got Tactics, Hunters rely on and excel at teamwork, they get a whole host of ways to combine their skills to achieve results greater than the sum of their parts. Then obviously the Endowments which all provide unique advantages to Hunters that are outside the reach of other splats.

>>6908449
The Wyrm, singular, is a force of destruction. When it went mad it split into three main 'heads':
The Wyrm of Calamity - Beast-of-War, embodying frenzy and senseless rage
The Wyrm of Consumption - Eater-of-Souls, embodying greed, lust and gluttony
The Wyrm of Corruption - the Defiler Wyrm, the schemer which corrupts, decays and manipulates.
Besides that there are still many more heads born from other concepts. Its splintered nature is what is preventing it from just devouring the cosmos outright, and because they function independently, they sometimes work at cross-purposes.
The servants of it can be purely supernatural, like the nexus crawler, mundane, like an oil drilling company with flagrant disregard for the rules, or a cross between them. Some mortal servants serve it willingly because they believe (rightly, in many cases) that they'll be long dead before any negative impact from it makes itself felt on their lives.

Maybe it would be more accurate to say while the hedge, evil faeries, hobgoblins, shadows wolves in the dark forest, etc all make sense I think it risks confusing both players and audience a little in terms of tone and setting. Hunter tends towards dark modern/urban fantasy, while the Hedge is basically straight swords and sorcery fantasy to most people. People already draw Watoto as a goblin, introducing actual hobgoblins is just going to confuse matters I fear. Also this party is going to struggle with human cultists and thinks garlic will hurt vampires. Most of the stuff that wanders the Hedge is miles beyond their understanding and capabilities, at least for now. That feels more like a season 3-4 campaign.

Leaving a location might not mean ending a scene if nothing happened in that location, like walking down the road to get a coffee then walking back wouldn't end the scene. Combat typically does though. Just like a movie scene. You'll likely have 3-4 scenes to a Chapter (session), then several Chapter to a Story that will be a full tale, and then several Stories to a Chronicle which is the whole campaign. That's more or less the norm, things are compressed here though.

I always hate shit like animal companions because in reality they would be extremely easy to kill but if Mori made someone shoot Uhu Kiara would probably throw tantrum.

Luckily a lot of Fae enjoy fucking with humans over just murdering them. They'd have no chance at all if either of them were dead set on killing the party but they make fun plot devices.

"Cannot kill as part of a plot" is the key here. She can't just kill her as part of the story but if enemies shoot and kill your friend because dice rolled like that during the game it's still dead. You regain the points you used on it then.

Would it even matter? Tiara had half a dozen birds in her room anyways. Couldn't she just replace Uhu as far as mechanics go?

[Anonymous No.]

Eh she has 4 points and a specialty in Animal Ken which is basically magic at that point. That much investment in crafting, firearms, or stealth can give dramatic results but no one really bats an eye at that. At least with Uhu Mori can minimize his impact through roleplay, neutralize, or straight up remove him temporarily at a whim.

There are a lot of things Mortal characters can have* in character creation that are borderline magic (mostly extra-sensorial perception stuff). So some chick being a near-Olympic professional falconeer who trained an owl to act on command isn't too far off. By default character creation, a regular human PC has a lot of leeway to be above the average human one way or another.

*The GM has the final word if player characters can have it, of course, and considering what's out there Sixth Sense or talking to animals is an equalizer.

While someone using magic would give themselves 8-again(reroll 8 and 9 like they were a 10) and the rote quality(reroll dice that aren't a success), effectively doubling their dice pool. They they would give themselves 5 more dice(as a conservative number, will usually be more), which will be like 10 more with the aforementioned dice tricks. Then if they REALLY need to do very well they can still use willpower for 3 more dice subject to the same dice tricks.

Tiara is very skilled at talking to birds, but it isn't magic.

Harrowed and beaten, they finally emerged. Though pained by the loss of their companion, they smiled at the bright -real- sunlight beating down on them.

Only for their smiles to vanish as they took in the charred and devastated landscape. They wandered for hours, wondering what happened, searching for any sign of civilization.

On the fifth day, tired and dehydrated, they finally reached what they assumed to be the remnants of Mythton, though only the bar remained standing.

Upon pushing open the door, they were greeted by a tired and bloody J-Chad, one missing an arm and an eye. She looked over at them, first with wonder, then with anger.

"Why?" J-Chad said through grit teeth. "Why didn't you go to the upscale party?"

Depending on version 5 dot athletics is literally described as Olympic medalist. The fact that stats are combined with skills for dice pools starts to break the gameplay abstraction but Tiara is basically one of the world's best at.... communicating with birds. Given the slightly irreverent, dark comedy tone of Mori's homebrew her talking to her pet owl doesn't really bother me any more than Cinderella's birds doing her laundry. Watoto has already pulled more bullshit out of his ass than that by far and it's been entertaining as hell.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6912095
i doubt Mori would do that unless she want to be a dick about their first mission

[Anonymous No.]

By the way, shouldn't communicating with the owl be based on presence rather than wits?

[Anonymous No.]

>>6912398
Skills represent training. Somebody may have trained just as much as Olympic champion but simply lacks the natural talent (other stats) to really be champion tier.

So Tiara really loves birds but she's actually not that great at communicating with them.

Also, it's actually pretty dumb for a starting character with 0exp to be super amazing at something.

gotta love 4chan brand of autism, faggots arguing about how many dice constitutes magic or what represent Olympic skill level, meanwhile watoto has blew up a laboratory with fucking mushrooms and chewing gum, an then proceeded to bend reality by sucking gasoline from the van's tank and spitting it at the hedge with surgical precision.
