Nice to see that FASA reused a shitload of ideas from this. That gun Bolt Vanderhuge's using was used on the cover of the Street Samurai Catalog, while the one used by Sally Tsung is the Sandler TMP from the same book. The graphics from the Matrix sequence I swear were used in the Virtual Realities book.

Wasn't there a short trailer done by FanPro or Wizkids that had an equally bad representation of Shadowrun?

I'm pretty sure it was the only "By Night" book released under Black Dog.

Also, I am still working on the good pictures of White Wolf... it's harder than I'd anticipated. For every cool thing there are 15 horrible things.

Edit: Also, most of them are NWoD Vampire, and I really want to get a little bit of everything in the mix.

This whole New Wave vampire thing and the pictures provided are reminding me of American Psycho. Which is kind of funny, because if Jason Bateman was a vampire, it might actually help explain his ridiculous behavior. Both that movie and that book were chock full of terrifying poo poo that was difficult to read through at times.

I wonder how many people have played a character similar to that. I'd be reluctant to role-play someone so evil and sadistic... it'd be a little too hard to get super into how loving crazy and evil you were being, and probably way too easy to disgust your tablemates.

I'm sure it still happens a lot anyway.

Jason Bateman being a vampire would explain why he gets so few notable parts despite his handsomeness and technical proficiency.

Requiem is a better experience than Masquerade if only for Damnation City, the book that actually breaks down for you how politics, power struggles, and identity actually work for vampires. For most of Masquerade's run there were just vague comments about how such-and-such vampire "controlled" such-and-such asset that didn't give you much to go on.

Seriously, buy Damnation City no matter what RPGs you play.

Do you remember the 80s? Not that bubble-gum garbage you see on those so-called “music networks,” but the real 80s? World War III was always on the horizon while sex, drugs and money flowed like a river of blood right to us. Vampires were everywhere. The Masquerade was at its thinnest point, but we didn’t care because the world was ours. We kept playing our games, doing our dance, but everyone was afraid that one AIDS-ridden blood doll with a grudge or one neonate with a personal computer and a private investor would decide someday to pull the trigger and make the world burn.

Those were good times.

The only bad thing about New Wave Requiem was that they didn't include hunter and promethean in on the fun. WoD in general is 80s as gently caress, but High power corporatist vamps, ghosts in the machine/AI come to life, and BBSs about killing werewolves are the best drat thing.

Finally, Pete Venters brings us the best image in the book as you get a Lhurgoyf carrying a Rocket Launcher over the Spoils of Evil and Songs of the Damned in a post Nevinyrral's Disk landscape. Look at that poo poo.

Speleothing posted:

I'm not sure what the benefit from the rocket launcher is. It looks like you'd get a so much mileage out of just the super-Lhurgoyf that it's a waste of time to give it the launcher.

Magic Rabbit Hat posted:

You can activate the Rocket Launcher multiple times with all that mana you get from full graveyards, either to sweep away defenders or soften your opponent up for the Lhurgoyf.

What defenders will your opponent have after popping disk?

Pete Venters
Lhurgoyf — Rocket Launcher — Nevinyrral's Disk — Spoils of Evil — Songs of the Damned
This is a fairly complex green/black/Artifact combo that can really be devastating—so long as there are a lot of creatures in play. First, bring Nevinyrral's Disk into play; it is an artifact that will destroy all creatures, enchantments, and artifacts in play. You have to wait a turn to activate it, because it comes into play tapped. Activate the Disk and the playing field will be virtually swept clean. Next, bring the Rocket Launcher into play; it is an artifact that will do one point of damage for every 2 mana of any color spent into it, but it destroys itself after it's used. Next, cast Songs of the Damned for an extra boost of black mana; it's a black interrupt which gives you one black mana for every creature in your graveyard. If that's a lot, this card's going to give you lots of mana to play with. The mana can be used for the Rocket Launcher or any part of this combo. Next, summon the mighty Lhurgoyf; it is a green creature, which is X/X+1, where X is the number of creatures in all graveyards. Again, if a lot of creatures were sent to the graveyard, the Lhurgoyf will be very poweful. Finally, play Spoils of War for the benefit of your Lhurgoyf; it is a black sorcery which will generate X +1/+1 counters to place on any creature you choose, where X is the number of creatures and artifacts in your opponent's graveyard.

quote:

Guess where those counters are headed? Yes, indeed—the Lhurgoyf seems like the best target possible. With a monstrous Lhurgoyf and a ready Rocket Launcher in play with plenty of mana to go around, your opponent will have to be very resourceful very quickly in order to survive the onslaught.

I am so sad they didnt choose to draw the infinite squirrel tokens combo. That would have looked awesome.
