Yeah, just based off what he's posted so far it seems like that could be pretty cool if handled well and provides a nice third option. The Yozis see that the deathlords have this problem where, since they deliberately picked people who would have been heroic, eventually a good portion of them are going to rebel in SOME way, even if their nature starts killing people every time they're heroic. So the yozi pick the shitbirds in creation and give them power, reasoning that even if they rebel they're less likely to do heroic things. Only the Yozi drastically underestimate the power of the very things that defeated them in open combat in the first place and fail to realize that yeah, they won't save the world but they might take it over for themselves. Or is that the actual plot already and I just missed it in the horrible stuff.

The secret to the oWoD is that there is only one normal human in the entire world. Everyone else is some form of supernatural desperately trying to hide it. Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure that's a quote from someone else. Edit: Dammit dude why you gotta post before me.

I Am Just a Box posted:In addition to the Guide to the Technocracy, nWoD also kinda provides for this with the Hunter: the Vigil corebook, where you can roll up a team of Task Force: VALKYRIE operatives with car-mounted lightning cannons and etheric rounds and go across international lines in secret to hunt down three-eyed Nazi wizards in wartime, or keep the homeland safe from disappearing/reappearing terrorist werewolves. It doesn't have the consensus reality/reality war aspect to it, just good old-fashioned using bleeding-edge science to fight the night, and without the other books floating around to tell you that no, the Technocracy is actually all about being Nineteen Eighty-Four because we don't like being consistent. Except that in that one expanded hunter book, which was 95% really cool ideas and new mechanics, they threw in a sidebar that was all "TFV is actually run by vampires." This sidebar is ignored by all right thinking people, especially those of us creative enough to come up with much better reasons for TF:V to be creepy. Like, I don't know, anything else at all.

Evil Mastermind posted:I've owned a copy of Nobilis 2nd edition for years now, but I'll be damned if I've ever read it. I'd recommend giving 3rd edition a shot, since the rules and mechanics are much more streamlined. I'd also recommend reading 2nd edition since I think it's the only RPG besides Polaris that can be described as hauntingly beautiful.

Yeah, and since this is Nobilis it takes the merest adjustment of perspective to decide that all sentient life everywhere throughout the world tree was an attempt to do that very thing, and they all created Light and Dark simultaneously.
