r/WhiteWolfRPG

Hello people of r/WhiteWolfRPG I think it's time for me to show something that I've been working for a few months. (Yeah, this is almost a crosspost of my post on r/magetheascension )

It's a full rote database, it should have all rotes that have been published in all of the official supplements and you are also able to add your own rotes. The Site also has a full database with Merits, flaws and Backgrounds.

When playing MtA, I've always struggled with coming up with what I can do with my Spheres, so this idea came to me.

Please enjoy it and if you are someone that makes content for Mage: The Ascension, please let me know about it so I can add you to the resources.

Please, dont hesitate to contact me here, on the site email or on Discord! (Just in case I put the wrong Discord ID, I'm DrunkDez there, you can find me on almost all Mage servers)

Fun little scenario let say you’re a ghoul to a sabbat pack’s ductus. How would you go about making sure you didn’t end up a meat shield or donated to a blood fest.

i love how some people in the comments looked at this video and went "yeah this is just VTM vampires"

I am absolutely speechless.

To the incredible Vampire: The Masquerade community: THANK YOU. You have welcomed this ancient setting with open arms, and thanks to your phenomenal support, Kingdom of Uruk has achieved the Copper Bestseller label on the Storytellers Vault in just four days!

Reaching this tier so quickly is a rare milestone on the platform, and seeing the dark nights of ancient Mesopotamia resonate with so many of you is deeply moving. You are breathing life into these ancient shadows.

If you haven't explored the origins of the mythic past yet, now is the perfect time to walk alongside the first immortals. Head over to the Storytellers Vault and search for Age of the Living Gods and Kingdom of Uruk.

The Blood is older than you think. Let's keep making history together!

Wraith, demon, changeling all look so good and I love the lore, but nobody around has heard of them. I’ve got a tons of character ideas and nobody to play. Hell, it’s difficult enough just finding someone into vampire, much less the obscure ones. Starting to worry I’ll never get to play them.

While I was reading about the wolfhome in "Umbra the Velvet Shadow" book for WTA 20th an idea came to my mind : If there is a near realm that is there to make fera accept and understand their bestial side , what would one focused on making their human side be like ?

So ı extend this question to anyone reading this because I have no idea on how to answer that question , please note that not looking for official/canon realm that does this incase if you misunderstand , I am asking for your opinions on this hypothetical reverse wolfhome near realm idea and if you have any homebrew rules for this realm that would be greatly appreciated

How bad was Gaia and the Garou Nation's situation in W5 compared to W20? It seems Gaia was beyond repair, and the Garou Nation had collapsed. Is there still any hope in W5?

Running a Through the Ages game where each player is starting as an Antediluvian of a unknown clan, and as the ages go on they will swap to their childer to keep some semblance of balance. While giving their Ante's downtime actions every age.

in this timeline the 3rd gen were actually all 1st Gen cursed by different gods and pantheons. so there isn't a literal Caine figure, the Caine myth will likely be created with the rise of the Abrahamic faiths to explain the origin of vampires from that perspective.

The general rule is they can change supernatural history all they want, but only very minor changes to human history can be made. So the Roman empire still rises and falls, but maybe Vinland is an independent hermit nation by the modern nights.

The Abrahamic faiths are still dominant by the modern nights, but maybe European pagans and heathens are never fully converted and remain as persecuted minorities throughout the timeline.

(The City of Enoch was placed in Doggerland in this timeline, as a Venus flytrap to congregate those cursed by the gods p

Here are the changes so far by session 5:

1. Abisimillard (Nosferatu Ante) was killed and his progeny destroyed after it was discovered they were planning on embracing much of the very small and depleted City of Enoch (constantly being attacked by the Heavenly hosts (multipantheon) and Lupines to keep the population pinned for a coming deluge)

2. After a reprieve from the fighting and some clever ways found to draw more people in. Enoch has mostly regained it's lost strength, the antes hold council to talk about embracing peeps, and they vote that each ante could embrace 5 people but no more until they had all escaped from the city of Enoch one way or another.

3. Seeing this as an opportunity to get rid of some rather hated personalities amongst their number, three members of the coterie go after Lau Som Beau (Lasombra) (2 v 1 gang up) while a lone lunatic went after Veddartha (Ventrue), both groups having succeeded and committed diablerie on their victims. with Veddartha partially possessing the one who bumrushed him.

(it's important to note that all antediluvians are neonates at this point with disciplines locked to 5 max, 10bp per turn and a pool of 100) (in the next age the Antes unlock elder disciplines.)

(it should also be noted that I'm using a homebrew where all diablerie victims stay johnny silver and style in your souls, and may use any of your mental disciplines against you once per session so while they are dead, they're not gone

These three changes are already gonna have a massive effect on the setting. Some I foresee others I definitely do not yet.

What I Foresee happening:

1. Ventrue no longer existing as a clan means a whole lot of changes, with the Baali wars either ending differently or taking longer to reach the same result depending on which side the player choose. (probably gonna choose to side against the Baali and eventually the Baali+Troile)

2. Nosferatu are not there to form an underclass of information gatherers, things that were uncovered in the base timeline might not get discovered unless another bloodline mutates to take that niche.

3. Lau is not there to control the Vatican, making an early inquisition far more likely to occur. The colonization of the Americas is also heavily effected, with clan Lasombra having driven much of the efforts to convert or kill much of the population of Native Americans. Obtenebration isn't lost necessarily, but there's not a clan to specialize in it, unless the player that diablerized him decides to form a bloodline salubri style to use that discipline.

4. the Anarch revolt probably still happens but the factions that emerge from it either have different make ups, or different factions form instead maybe leading to a more VTR situation which the bagillion different sects spread across the world.

There are other clans present in this timeline not in the base one.

NPC clans:

1. The Carnereids (aquatic clan which stick near salt water and ports) has a discipline that controls salt water. they must sleep within saltwater else they will go mad.

2. The Harbingers of Jörmungandr (sister clan to the Setites, in the first age the two antes are very close, though grow to hate one another by the next age) their discipline is similar to serpentis, but replace snakes with dragons of various myths. each member has two serpent tattoos representing the order of the Weaver and the constant change of the Wyld, they must do whatever these spirit tattoos command of them.

PC clans:

1. Clan Makan, a clan which finds "pure" water of any amount anathema, and so steer clear of it as best they can. Clan discipline revolves around manipulating water by polluting it with their vitae to control it.

2. Clan Ibila a clan which is driven to fear frenzy when surprised by flashing lights as well as from very bright lights. Their discipline allows them to craft servants out of clay, and hone them for specific tasks.

3. Clan Deimatheon, a clan of hotheads with red hair and silver eyes these vamps stand out wherever they go. their clan discipline is one of fear manipulation.

4. Clan Ashkalgari, a clan of little Napoleons where each has a compulsion to always be the one in charge of whatever group they're a part of, to a bestial level. Their clan discipline is one that forms a mental link between members of a pack and allows them to work together more effectively. This clan also all have wings as an addition to their curse, and have the flight discipline.

So all together we have:

1. Malkavians

2. Salubri (might become Tremere unless prevented by players)

3. Toreador

4. Capadocians (Might become Giovanni unless prevented by players

5. Banu Haqim

6. The Carnereids

7. Gangrel

8. Trujah (for now will become Brujah later)

9. Ravnos

10. Tzimisce

11. Harbingers of Jörmungandr

12. Temple of Set

13. Ashkalgari

14. Deimatheon

15. Ibila

16. Makan

Feel free to share what you reckon will happen with this point of divergence from the broader WoD setting. there's a whole lot though, and I definitely am not aware of every single consequence for this but I'll be spending a good portion of this chronicle researching things before moving between each age.

Luckily I suffer from worldbuilder's disease so this is my jam!

Are they strong in terms of power, having concrete grop or they face challenges due to Kue-jin, mages, other supernatural creatures in south asia .

How they interact with wider kindred community?

I've been writting a WtA story, any suggestions for good places to post it, preferably in parts?

There’s no real objective metrics here. Which are you favorites, which are you terrible at using?

I have, in the decade I've been a part of the World Of Darkness, only and exclusively run Vampire: The Masquerade. Part of it is that I strongly prefer 5th Edition. As a neurodivergent person with disabilities, I just can't stomach the content in older editions somedays. But Werewolf 5th Edition has been out for a bit, and I've been DYING to run it.

The players are:

• Galliard Bone Gnawer singer
• Ahroun Children Of Gaia spiritual activist
• Ragabash Glass Walker private eye

The players are in Portland, Oregon, which I have written as a backwards, conservative place. The Garou Nation is radically devoted to Gaia, but have archaic, antiquated views on how to enact real change. The young are the future, and need to overturn the nation if they hope to save Portland from the forces of the apocalypse.

The pack is a found family, who learn of a prophecy regarding a unique kin. Not to spoil a ton, but her existence is an inconvenient truth for the Garou Nation, and its up to the players to decide; Will they find a way to save her, or destroy her to end the risks she poses?

Super super excited. I am a bit worried, because one of our players will likely be dropping out, but I still have a decent group without them, and I'm just super excited to run this game.

I'll post more after the session! Stay tuned!

Is there a stated reason why these Fera don't breed normally? Corax intentionally create new Shifters, but can never undergo a First Change otherwise, and Ratkin(deserve a better name) infect Kinfolk with the Birthing Plauge. One has no Auspices and the other has....not quite Auspices? I can't tell if Aspects are Lunar or just cultural. Is that the difference?
