Yes, this is a sever penalty (Acute Infection) but it goes away when this condition is resolved by the character rejecting the disease or by embracing V to its next level (Chronic Infection). Thanks. I wanted it to be something which anyone could contract. The additional rule references are...

Hannibal has ruined me forever on fancy meals, unless I am preparing and know what I put into them. National Lampoons Vacation ruined me on family long-drive vacations. Porn ruined me on sex with the guy who delivers the pizza.

The view of the Pre-Flood world is pretty small, mostly limited to the wilderness near where Noah builds the arc. Evidence suggests an early iron age level of technology with a wee bit of magic and rock monsters. Could be an interesting setting for Vampire.

The movie is environmental, but less silly than "The Day After Tomorrow" or "The Day the Earth Stood Still" remake. There is no statement of "this is happening because of our reckless carbon footprint," rather it is "God is sending the flood because we pissed him off." The environmental damage...

I wonder what it says about me that I can believe in eternal damnation, but I can no longer believe in redemption or salvation. The movie was a lovely spectacle, but that is all it was - just a lovely spectacle. Everyone involved gave solid performances, especially the women. I suspect...

Among some unfortunate people, Vicissitude is making things ugly. This supernatural disease appears among populations mundane and magical. Three different infections – UMZ-148, P3X and Dusha-Hansen’s Disease – make Vicissitude possible and each imparts a similar set of powers and punishments on...

Granted Voyager suffered from weak writing in general, but Chakotay was more or less the Generic Positive Indian Guy, complete with no identified actual group (not specific as a Navajo, Apache, Lakota, etc) and with speeches about "his people" and "spirit" and even "land." More to the point he...

Bringing this closer to home, consider Chakotay, of Voyager, and the Gypsies book from White Wolf. Both were in theory supposed to be positive things, one a Native America, the other about the Rom. Both failed in execution and became insulting. Good intentions mean di... very little. However...

Person A does not get to decide if they have offended Person B. Person A might well possess good intentions, or bad ones, but they do not get to decide for others if others get to be offended. Person B gets to decide if they are offended.

I don't have a problem with it, but I am an American, a honkey. I cannot speak for the reactions of the English to the book, or for how Peruvians might react (the books go to a fictional Incan empire still standing in the 19th century), or for how Kenyans might react (the books visit a fictional...

When I started this thread I thought people might dicker over silly fan casting, not arguing over Bay. He is a dreadful director, but the chosen one for this flick is little better. Anyway, who are your silly casting choices?

And if someone where to say "All English people drink tea" how would you feel? Someone might mean well when talking about Chinese, Brazilians or Persians and still might be doing the same thing as saying "\"All English people drink tea" - something problematic.

So Jem and the Holograms is being made into a movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6G_o1MYECg And the producers are asking for casting decisions. I suggest Lindsey Ellis, ComicBook Girl 19 and Felicia Day in the lead roles with Joanna Gaskell as the villain.

Here is a question for the writers and readers here, particularly anyone with a background from somewhere besides America or Europe. How do you feel about someone writing or creating a story in your country or among your people, culture, etc, if they are not a part of your ethnicity? To whit...

Then, yes.

Well, if this just quasi-cannibalism and not a sexual metaphor, then the answer is "no."
