If I wanted to try to get back into DW rping, what games would people recommend? I'd be interested in fairly slow and or small games that allow OCs or WoD characters

I'd suggest CoS but you'd have to decide if that's too fast

It's a 3:1 day IC to OOC ratio, I think that's reasonably paced? Seconded, btw.
Yes we would be happy to see you in CoS again!

I'm glad to hear the game is still going. It's been what, 6 months since I stopped playing?
Yes come back

I'll have to look at it and think of what I want to play. I know that it would have to be someone different than before

I have a character I've been having a hard time getting into in Accord (because the game is way too big and fast for me) that might do really well at CoS

I love the character but rarely play her, and she certainly has the potential for a high darkness factor

what would you'all think of a police psychiatrist and consultant who can see ghosts and deathstains because she has bound herself to a death god of righteous vengance?

She's a torn reaper out of geist who was murdered by one of her patience on a violent rampage and was brought back to life by The Betrayed in order to protect the innocent and punish the guilty

except The Betrayed no longer considers anyone innocent and the two of them have had to work out an arrangement so that she kills a certain kind of person on a regular basis

I finally bought it. I think it is my favorite of all the NWoD books

The problem I've been having in Accord is that since killing in Accord makes the bad guys stronger, and because there are better investigators, the only role my character has is shrink
Stonef7y

but the mechanics of the game mean that she can only have 4 patients a month and she needs to meet with them several months in order to remove derangements
Stonef7y

and the other players are more interested in being batshit crazy than in having their characters actually get help, or they want to do really really long rp scenes and I can't rp being a doctor like that
Stonef7y

so she gets regulated to the 'healer' category which doesn't explore her as a character at all
Erik would be all FOR a consultant like that.

her deathy magic makes it so she can do things like manipulate people's emotions and control ghosts, she can tell, just by looking, how someone died
Stonef7y
11 years ago
she can see places where people have died and she can see on someone how much death they have inflicted on others
Stonef7y

and she can do neat stuff, like, if she sets herself on fire she can astrally project
Stonef7y
11 years ago
she can use a mirror someone has looked into in order to scry on them, she can use a pen they have written with to write them a psychic message
Those are cool powers

geist is super broken

they get the widest range of powers with the least restrictions, they have no real 'weakness' like vampires do, and all of them willingly bound themselves to their ghost, althoughs ome more willing than others

and my charcater never really has to worry about running out of her power source, plasm, because she has the ability to burn from within and transmute health levels into plasm
Stonef7y

the only challenge, mechanically, in a game like CoS would be if she dies
Stonef7y

because geists come back from the dead anyway, but with a price
Oooooo.
Stonef7y

geists can be brought back up to a number of times based on their morality score, so usually 7, but each time they come back, their maximum score is reduced by 1

and their relationship between the deathgod and the host gets stressed until eventually, after the second to last death, the two are in such conflict that neither is in control for more than a few moments
Stonef7y

and when ever they get brought back to life, some random person dies, and the first thing the geist sees is how that person died
Stonef7y
11 years ago
another fun fact, since geists are the reapers and the monitors of the boundary between the living and the dead, they are the only system in WoD where cold blooded murder is not a morality sin

In the Accord game that sucks, because killing stuff just makes the bad guys stronger
