#changeling the dreaming

Vampires are horny like queer fuckboys on Grindr. Werewolves are horny like anarchists in a squat. Changelings are horny like starving artists in a drug-drenched commune. Mages are horny like overworked university students. Hunters are horny like soldiers crowded in a trench. Demons are horny like repressed feudal courtiers. The Hungry Dead are horny like creepy cult members. Wraiths are horny like a depressed motherfucker who just wants to feel anything again. Mummies are utterly and completely devoid of horny, as unhorny as a job application, they are antihorny. This is why nobody ever plays Mummy: The Resurrection.

I keep seeing polls made for people unfamiliar with a piece of media to ask them to try and identify the thing that does not happen in said media, and I always thought those looked like a lot of fun! So, I decided to make one, and I already knew the perfect franchise for one: The World of Darkness (WoD) TTRPG franchise. The WoD is a franchise containing several different TTRPG’s about playing as monsters, and it has some of the most unhinged lore I have ever come across.

Almost everything above is heavily simplified for the sake of fitting into the poll boxes btw. Also, I promise that this is not a trick. Ten of the Eleven options presented above actually are a part of this franchises seemingly infinite Metaplot. I’ll schedule a reblog containing the answer and some much needed context for everything above.

Fae-changeling dynamics in different ttrpgs (with my OCs as an example) :D

Famous actual play gms and the WoD games I'd like to see them run

Brendan Lee Mulligan- Mage the Ascension was built for this man. It's a game about philosophical arguments where everyone is a wizard need I say more? Listen to him talking about planescape in the promotional videos on the dnd YouTube page and tell me you wouldn't want to see him run mage I dare u

Matt Mercer- Vampire: the Masquerade Matt's sprawling political plots and comfort with a more serious tone would work really well for Vampire.

Aabria Iyengar- Changeling the Dreaming This isn't just because of a Court of Fey and Flowers, though that has shown she has a talent for depicting courtly politics and the fea. I also think that her work on Misfits and Magic really shows the wimsy and imagination she can bring to her worlds. An energy I'd love to see her bring to Changeling

Griffin Mcelroy- Hunter: the Reckoning, Amnesty was the best taz session by far and it was running monster of the week, which on top of the obvious setting and theme similarities also share a philosophy that prepping for the hunt is more important then the fight itself.

Vampire the Masquerade: We are eternal creatures of the night who wish to complete our eternal goals that have been in motion for hundreds of years

Werewolf The Apocalypse: We are soldiers of Mother Gaia, and fight against the global corruption of the world.

Mage the Ascension: We are capable of manipulating the very make of reality itself and can change the world and must find how to do so, and if we should

Meanwhile, Changeling the Dreaming: Guys, being in capitalism sucks. Let's go to the park and sword fight naked.

"My character can't do the 'noble sacrifice' thing. She's vengeful and has to make her ex's life a living hell. She can't do that if she's dead."

I've been thinking about this for a while, but something I've really come to appreciate about the World of Darkness as a setting is something that might be a little counterintuitive?

WoD is a dark and gloomy place. It's our world, but darker, more sinister and in a lot of ways, outright worse, in some more convenient. But despite this, despite the doom and gloom hanging over the world, whether it's vampires believing that Gehenna is nigh and the Antideluvians will soon wake from their slumber and devour the world whole, or werewolves locked in a war against devastation of the world (and the entire universe really), or mages... life just goes on.

Sure, for most people, life goes on, because they're blissfully unaware of what is happening backstage. Even if they did, what could a mortal do, faced with vampires as old as the calendar they use, or an agent of balance driven mad and bent on destroying everything? (Admittedly, Hunter shows that yes, mortals can make a difference). But more importantly, despite it all, there's hope.

There's these little specks of light in the dark, those people, whether Kindred, Garou, Changeling, Mage or mortal that try to build their own little slice of paradise amidst the storm. And that's why I love it so much.

The world may be a dark place, full of horror and uncertainty, but even amidst those, light and hope will find a way. However brief or enduring that proves to be.

Today is the anniversary of the in game meeting for these two. A changeling and a vampire, in two years of playing, they ended up married and having True Love merit. So I made a little something with in game quotes <3 A shining gem for my heart, these characters keeps me happy <3
