For the “take a Move from another Archetype” advances, would you say that includes Drama Moves? Not sure if that was the intent, but I think it could create some interesting characters and moments (kill an Immortal, take their Immortality for example), so I’d personally allow it.

This includes: Vampire the Masquerade,  Mage the Awakening,  Werewolf the Forsaken, Hunter the Vigil, Orpheus and Slasher.

There are plans to add Changeling and Demon at some point …. but we have no time frame. 

The only thing I am not 100% sure with is the XP system I have put in. I went with one similar to one of the variations of Dark Ages, but it may be to many things to track.

I also may make a few visual/layout tweaks (fonts and such) after US is released, to slightly match in style.

Incidentally does anyone have a problem with Adobe Acrobat resolving or printing the Basic Move PDF headers?

For those who preordered rather than backing the KS campaign, will any content be backer exclusive, and not appear in the main book and Dark Streets? (Mainly wondering about Archetypes and City Guides.)

Sell me on the Hedonism Scheme, because I really don’t see the appeal and I’m curious if I’m just missing what other people are seeing. I like the rest of the Immortal’s schemes, but this one I just don’t get, on account of:

1) I don’t know how to visualize it fictionally. How do you make a grand setup to not do stuff?

2) It’s mechanically flat. It doesn’t have any unique effects, just a limited number of guaranteed results on a universal move.

3) At the end of the day, what it allows you to do is refuse to engage with the fiction with no reprisal. This seems really against the spirit of the game, and also weirdly at odds with how much fiction you have to engage with to complete the scheme in the first place.

For the last, I can just about see an argument that you’re refusing to engage with the fiction except on your own terms, but I’m not sure I like that. And it doesn’t change the first two problems.

Thoughts, rebuttals?

(I’ll be really embarrassed if there’s a new Immortal and I just haven’t seen it yet)
