Did this action provoke an Alignment shift +/- consequences?

Specter

Ever craft what you think is compelling story and you put a little thought into the setting... and the players or rather a player picks it apart? I am not the best GM and I make no such claims. I had a pretty cliche story for a one shot Talislantis game. The princess has been kidnapped by a necroman...

Specter

Gonna have to agree with KC here, No point in quiting a game because of one bad session or one truly boring grindfest. Now, I like playing so much more than GMing so I don't have any problem groaning through some poorly GMed gaming sessions just to be able to stretch out before going back to GMing. ...

Specter

I wouldn't make any connection between Hunters and Guardians. Guardians are a lot more fun to play than most WW stuff. And, by "fun" I mean "powerful" Cause sometimes you just want to kill a nest of vampires with a glance and put the fear of God into the other PCs.

Specter

I only had one Guardian in a game... she put all of her PPE into one light blast and blew up a mall.... totally missed that hound she was aiming at.

Specter

I mean I thought most of the point of dark day is that most peope either want to or have dismissed Dark Day as some kind of massive prank. They pretend it never happened and live their lives as normally as possible. Obviously Moloch isn't running around in the day time and dopplegangers aren't tell...

Specter

Just keep track of basic things the characters do and occassionally reference a past event. Like if they get caught on the nightly news killing some fbi agents (hollow men)... Save some guardians from getting killed by some hounds, come to the aid of some mere mortals... ect. All of these things can...

Everything has a point, otherwise there wouldn't be one. No, I could delibertely use a program to write a hundred random rules and hand it to you. It would have no point - if you started trying to see one, it's purely your invention. The thing here is that having a vision for how to do things, havi...

Specter

Everything has a point, otherwise there wouldn't be one. Agree with you KC. I was just thinking of things that have to be included by the GM and are often time done without realizing. It reminded me of this one game of Hellboy where there was this avatar of kali which I wanted to be a major plot poi...

Specter

The closest thing I ever played to a normal person in nightbane was an abandoned vampire from a Rifters. So... no. But, I offer a four level bump to anybody that plays a mere mortal in my nightbane games.

Specter

Like avoiding important encounters? If the story is set up ahead of time it shouldn't change anything. Even if they miss talking to that homeless guy who secretly is the only one who knows the monsters true form/weakness.

Specter

It's been a long time since I've played PF... it was however, the first rpg book I ever bought and I always meant to go back to those long lost realms of lore and steel. Maybe someday but I agree that the men of arms should get some special abilities at later levels to allow them to stay somewhere n...

Specter

As a gm I'd stress the desire for human blood and would not penalize the player for drinking other kinds of blood. Just stress that human blood is what they want.

Specter

Thank you as well Ziggy! I really enjoyed flipping through those tables again. Thinking about a Clown Car 'bane to show up briefly now.

Specter

I don't think that power is over powered. It's more fun than anything, and becomes utterly useless way out in the boonies, and getting into places that are indeed off the grid. I wouldn't put skill check limitations on it. Nightbane are supposed to be powerful. It makes it more fun when you drop a p...

Specter

To be honest just about every game I've GMed ME has been the dump stat that nobody cared to have high enough to have a large bonus, so this never really came up much.

But, I agree ME makes much more sense than PE

Specter

Almost since the first time I was interested to roleplaying I've been the GM and have experienced my fair share of game master burn out. This has led me to be grateful to anybody who would GM so that I could get a chance to play. I've over looked what I considered to be sloppy GMing and had to admit...

wildhood wrote:Nightbane of the Past. Playing Nightbane through History like WWI, WWII, Rome Empire, & Black Death. Make Nightbane characters from the past.

I ran a campaign like this with a bunch of ageless characters. Making leaps through history each game.

Were there no new morphus tables? That was my only real dissapointment in the book so far, the lack of new morphus traits. I like reading those for some bizarre reason. I guess I understand reprinting some of the Rifters tables, but some original stuff would have been nice to. I haven't finished re...

Specter

Was playing a very strong 'Bane, who was trying to protect a church from men in black types. They were all shooting at me so I shadow slid through them and picked up the van they had arrived in which apparenly still had a few men in black in it. And, I tossed it into them... but the van kept going.....

Specter

If they released the rest of Trustrum's stuff in Rifters I would actually buy those rifters and I have that stuff saved as word files on my computer.

Specter

I remember this site... I just looked it up and it is definately gone. I liked some of those forms a whole bunch

Specter

also... is there a table somewhere online that can help me make alien intelligences? i just spent my allowance for the month last week on a new nightbane book... and not even the good one!!! I thought there was a table for this in Shadows of Light... or rather I guess that's just for a vampire inte...

Specter

Bought it. Like the education tables, and complete random rolling. Liked the rules for designing a Nighbane to make sense to their personality. More reading from the survival guide would have been really nice.

Would have been nice to see some new morphus tables.

This would be my set up for the next two books. I would give them a theme book rather than a world book feel. Between the Shadows was spook squad and psionic book (I see the astral plane and the dreamstream to be psionic planes). Nightlands were the nightlords book. TtLGD was the magic book. Shadow...

Specter

What Rifter are the aberrant blood tables in?

Specter

Think Daniel's character in Stargate. Now think Samantha's character in Stargate.

Specter

No.... wouldn't that kind of be... unbalanced?

Specter

I have both. A very well used copy of Nightspawn and a fresher Nightbane book.

Specter

I haven't gotten the time to get to a store, and I can't get things delivered to my apartment because nobody is home when the order comes in. I have to drive an hour to get up to Greenville where everything remotely geeky is. Though I should be going on a dice run with my girlfriend anyway to get he...

Specter

That's easy... Nightbane around the world and how they are a threat to the Nightlords. Right at the edge of the final fight. The true power of the Bane against the Night!

Specter

Just when I get out... they pull me back in. I'm going to get the new book and hopefully get a Bane game going again.

Specter

If Bane in my games ever made it far enough into the nightland's to discover the forges that create the Hounds.... they would find them to be made. Otherwise I leave it just as much a mystery as it is writen in the books.

Specter

I banned Nightbane Mages and mystics right off. If a character wants to play a mage they can be human or a less powerful creature of the night like Trustrum's weres.

Specter

A new Nightbane book? Have I been gone that long? Last time I was here I heard that they would never put out another Nightbane book and I said I wouldn't buy any more palladium unless it was Nightbane. When can I get this?

Specter

Nope... the Night Lord could just summon an army, cast ancient spells of ruin, cause the earth it's self to swallow up the immortal and crush him into diamond!!!

I think it would be close.

Specter

Besides, as is being shown in my current nightbane game. There's no reason Barbie/Ken Nightbane can't use human armor. A Barbie Nightbane Sorcerrer could theoretiaclly enchant a suit of HI-B3 Body Armor so it even helps aginst Darkblades. I know it's there in the rule book... but I don't allow nigh...

Specter

I agree big time with Nekira... Dark Conversions is a badly done book and the conversions in the Nightland book works fine.

Specter

I pre ordered mine.

Specter

Yes. THey want it... they NEED it.

No... it is totally valid. But, it's still immature to decide not to do something with it out of some kind of spite. There is a fan base... possibly a small fan base who says... I want to read that. And, Kevin says... not gonna happen. And, we say... because your going to put it into a book or some...

Specter

Good call... I'm going to stop responding to flamebait, and kick out before the thread gets mucho locked.

Specter

And, I stand behind that word. I never said I didn't say that... even though you keep throwing it back in my face. Do you expect me to take it back or try and deny it? What would you call it? Happy happy fun time?

No no... I don't expect it to "work". I expected something when I first heard about the cut material and had an e-mail exchange with JV to try and get a look at said material. Only to be told that he had sign some confidentiality papers and Kevin owned the work and didn't want to do anythi...

Specter

You're right Misfit. Instead of complaining about things on the internet. We should complain directly to KS. I'm suuure that a couple of e-mails from consumers will change his mind. I just figured he was busy running Palladium, and didn't have time to have old dirt brought up time and time again. If...
