I see, it must be my faulty memory again. I shall do all I can to get treatment against it, brother. And that same session contained another event that now is unexistant. A person might have mentioned something about another person lacking a reflection, this never happened and even if it did happen, there is a certain supernatural flaw on in the Guide to the Camarilla that explains it quite nicely.

55 hours to render??!! is that pictrue from 1993 or something?

Are you like the main character in Tenessee Williams "Night of the Iguana"? :D (my quit message says "I have four dots in bukkakke")

Does it count if he told you in the freeform chat? He told me and the other guy whose identity remains unknown because I didnt know who was who at the time. Anyway he told me and then he said I could sleep in his Winnebago but I was going to say no because maybe that could hurt Val's image but then the conversation kind of died off and then I dont know. But I think I know.

I had a Russian friend and he though Putin was right, he just said "So what, they're as good as dead anyway" Then a couple of months later, a swedish technical newspaper(Ny Teknik) dug out through a leak in the Russian fleet command(and acoustic scans) that the Kursk had been sunk when they launched a new type of high-velocity experimental torpedo that exploded as it left the launcher. It is fully possible that the Russians were afraid that this new technology would fall into the hands of the US.

Wow. Which do you guys think is the best? Spork or foon? I kind of like foon myself, it has a nice ring to it. Spork is more of a consonant-based word, it has like only one vowel. Foon has two but theyre the same, but its still two.

Dude.. thats like.. all Im gonna say

Cant they have regular people to play just for fun, and pay all those millions to the poor? (although Peter Forsberg has bought a lot of nice things for the people in

Im not a gun nut, I dont know anything about firearms. :ph34r: now here you can see the ballistic wound profile or an ordinary 12-gauge shotgun shell as you can see, the tissue damage is enormous. Compare it to this picture of the damage profile of an ordinary .45 bullet In terms of tissue damage(what would actually damage a vamp) we can clearly see that there is simply no doubt that the shotgun has about 10 times the damage capacity of a single pistol slug. A hyeavier caliber bullet such as a .50AE would only do marginally more damage than the .45

In any case, the VtM rules system is made for balance and ease of use, not to simulate reality. Therefore everything we say is moot, aswell as that fruitcake who made the list of those weapons. For the game to remain completely balanced, we should stick to what the core rulebook says. p.s hydrostatic shock has been disproved. although ammunition manufacturers are still wrongly using the term to market their products.

Im just bothered by the fact that people build damage charts with no real knowledge of ballistics and physics. If you take vampires, they dont have any vital points so its pure meat destruction that is the key: Take a door, blow a hole in it with a sawed-off shotgun. Youll be able to put your fist through it. Then shoot it with a .50, youll get a hole the size of your index finger. -how could you possibly merit the pistol doing nearly as much damage as the shotgun? Second, and axe does equal or more damage than a long blade because the power is concentrated along a smaller edge, and the kinetic energy is also larger because of the compact forces working on the small axe head. I have a sword which Ive played around withg a lot and an axe does a lot deeper gashes.. this post wasnt as comprehensive as I intended i to be because Ive got to run now, cheerio!

They cant be. X^3 makes a cube, X^4 is just mathematical gibberish

You mean this one? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, a 33mb mod that just adds a bit of text and gives your character 5 discilines instead of the ususal 3.. <_<

One of the problems is that when hey made up that nasty Quietus discipline, the phattest weapon you could have was a Str+3 axe :D In any case I would not allow any of the weapons from this page. Not only are they grossly inaccurate(like how a crossbow would do more damage than an anti-tank missile) and insanely overpowered(Mac-10 does 25damage?!?!), but they are not for 3rd ed VtM. http://members.aol.com/SilasMcbth/index19.html

My chief concern with using the extra damage weapons+instant healing is mainly a) More damage, but instantaneous healing basicly means that, practicly, a vampires bloodpool is added on top of his health levels. We'll will be fighting each enemy until he runs out of blood and fenzies, and only at that point can we actually begin to hack away at his actual health levels. Even though we can deal heavy damage, the fighting will still go on for much longer and we already have problems with combat taking up far too much of the actual playing time. b) The enhanced weapon damages are compensated when fighting vampires because of their healing powers, but mortals cant heal and so combat against mortals or ghouls(who only have 1-2 blood points to spend) would be unbalanced. But it has worked so far and since youve been using it in your chronicles there might be no need to do anything about it. Kind of "dont fix it if it aint broke". But if we experience problems/bugs we might have to go over the rules again. I dont remember how it works with doing multiple actions? Is the dicepool halved or is one dice subtracted? When trying to defend against celerity-whores, I mean. I remeber at the first LARP I went to, there was a bit of combat and the GM just stepped up and sighed "Ok, those of you who dont have celerity can go home now" :D ..it wasnt that funny at the time

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ir teh admiral of the obvious. Fear my powers. I screwed up my Bloodlines installation by installing this useless clan mod that did nothing so I might try this if i reinstall it.

Isnt this just what is called Merits & Flaws in the regular Vampire PnP game?

Do I exist? (about that 'thing' we talked about yesterday, theyve all chopped and hacked up the sweetest threads into separate posts so it hard to find it all)

Im pretty sure we are playing a non-metaplot game. Its current time and we have a Ravnos in the coterie so we dont have all that stuff. The Geography is different too, not the official version of Southwest USA

I got confused by all the private RPG going on with players that those in the main channel knew nothing about. All of a sudden, Ender would be gone for 10min and noone had a clue of what was going on. I think we should either play those things in the main channel(and well have to pretend we dont know) or that you'll tell us when you go into solo mode like "Im going to have a quick solo with Jaguars now". It causes some time confusion too, you might play a scene that takes a single round while we're out in the cold thinking that weve been just chitchatting for 10 minutes. And some rules issues: -There are weapons(in vampire-dark ages) that contradict the weapon damage chart on page 214 of the main rulebook. However, the dark ages stuff expects players to be of low generation and/or wear chainmail and stuff. If we bring weapons that do Str+6(as with the largest one, the greatsword) into our chronicle, we're going to have mass carnage. -Healing is not an instantaneous action. Now if players and NPC's have weapons that can do upwards to 12+ die of lethal damage, then we might counter this with having healing instantaneous. But I think that will make fights go on much longer than they need to, so I think we should use the damage table on page 214 of the main rulebook and have the rulebook variant of healing aswell. -Not all rolls are made against a difficulty 7. In fact, the rulebook states(pg.191) that 6 is the standard difficulty, whereas a 7 signifies a "challenging" action.

About changing playing date to sunday, that would make it impossible for us Europeans since we start playing at about midnight. It would also mean that we would have to play while Ender is at work. And Ender cant use IRC at work so that brings a whole new pile of trouble.
