Note: Urban Shadows has moved to letter sized formatting, but I have decided to keep these add-ons at legal size formatting ….. for now.
Amazing stuff, I love it. I think I would create a separated archetypes for each vampire the masquerade clan, taking the description of the clan and finding some space in the vamp archetype, maybe reducing the friends, enemies and lovers section. Of course the disciplines go apart as you did right now. And I guess it would be necessary too introduce the new advances and the new moves in the archetype. Maybe it a big refactoring of the design I don’t know.
Alejandro González Núñez I went this way, because it afforded me a simpler addition, so that I could make them semi-consistent to a variety of books other than just Vampire. Second, I wanted these to be near straight add-ons to Urban Shadows,. They do not rebut its rules, minus a replacement of an advancement chart.
In doing so, each player has a vast amount amount of choices in creating their character.
I will also note, that if I was creating 14 Archetypes for each clan, I would probably have been far lazier than forcing myself to do 3 abilities per discipline,.
I have done about, 22 playtest with this setup all Vampire and after plenty of work/ tweaks … it runs pretty flawlessly.
Yes, don’t take me wrong. I think the work is amazing. It was just an idea for those really mad about Masquerade.
Undying by Paul Riddle already does so many things similar that, so it works out well, that I do something so different.
I am glad you do like it, Alejandro González Núñez. If you have any suggestions on moves, ect …… would love to hear them.
Geist was not used because the entire premise or both geist games being in the otherworld which isn’t very cross game friendly, so I went Orpheus….. Check it out in the google doc, it is almost done.
Paul, I am on my 22nd session of just VtM, but unlike oWoD, I wanted to make it cross compatible if players and MCs wished. I wanted to make a game that you can play how YOU want.
In my game we have 3 Malks, so yes it is possible. When I get back in town I will send you my current doc where I have added some rules from Kingdom adding roles and organizations.
Btw, my favorite game so far was a mix of werewolf and Orpheus were the specters were tricking the werewolves that they were spirit guides.
I loved WoDs premise, but disliked the mechanics, so we should we have the same desire.
Paul, we will be stopping at Changeling most likely totaling 8 add-ons. Orpheus will be finished before October.
Paul, when I get back from vacation ….. If you want to jump on the team to help with a WoD hack we are not doing that you are interested in making happen, I am would love to have it.
Paul McBride, I got back today …. so let’s plan on a time to chat so we can set up a plan!
