Wow, if you're looking to do some casual Diablerie, the Mote's where it's at! I am also curious what Asa's new animal feature is going to be, since she entered Frenzy again when snackin' on that rich-blooded vamp. Also, when you all get the chance, would you kindly put the link to the Renaissance faire Meetup on the forum? I'd love to meet you all. Apologies if that's still in the works or, conversely, if the link is already up somewhere and I missed it.

So I know these books aren't updated to V20 yet but it seems like the group should invest into the Backgrounds of Military Force from Elysium, the Resources 6-10 from Elysium, and Arsenal from Hunter the Reckoning.

Just for reference
Anything past 6 or 7 would probably be ridiculous as it would turn them into Megacorps. Shadowrun against Riley Corp. anyone?
She said she wanted more helicopters.

Shit's getting real, eh?
I so wanted to hear Riley do a grope down and mind invasion on those vamps they fought/captured.
Daniel's word about taking control of the local mortal powers made me think the princedom of the Mote of Sin have worked very little with human pawns. That surely must be the best way to widen your power base? That must be the best way to once and for all take on the surveillance problem, right?

Skully called Adrians phone from someone he murdered moments later, will there be Consequences?

That surely must be the best way to widen your power base? That must be the best way to once and for all take on the surveillance problem, right? Mayhaps...no doubt some VIPs on the Mote whose influence extends far beyond it, so Ghouling, Dominating, etc. the right people will have some impact. The island itself has few people, though, right? It doesn't mean that the Moties can't do some trips to the mainland and Pornvale to "influence" the right people, but they'd have to be careful about it. Not to mention that Daniel and Sebastian might already have fingers in all the major pies in their respective areas. As for the surveillance, isn't that run by shadowy company Keyhole International? As I recall, the last attempt to infiltrate and learn more about that operation resulted in a bunch of largely innocent reconnaissance-rats getting crushed to death by shadows... I have some thoughts about how the Moties could at least start to handle their camera network problems, but I will post about it in a more secure location.

I was gonna say, I hadn't thought he'd been a Diablerie victim...(yet). Yeah, he noms on bums so often that I didn't bat an eye. But I must have turned my brain off for a moment when Tim said Skully was feeding from a bum and didn't notice that he killed him... Skully's Humanity has to be near the point of transitioning to a Path by now. Now I'm wondering if this is also in his future.

Prrrrrobably not? I think Probie Tim is on the same page I am, that Paths and other Sabbat stuff are the domain of NPCs. I won't speak for him, though. As far as the princedom of the Mote stands... yeah, Adriann and the gang are *woefully* undergeared (if that's a term that should apply) for proper Praxis. The closest thing to police control they have is a ghouled coroner, for example.

I think the "paths are for Sabbat and NPCs" thinking is a OWoD veteran idea.
From reading about paths in V20, it's pretty clear that the authors wrote it assuming players would use it. Even so, it's definitely a roleplaying challenge, as it's a VERY different system of morality (if you can call it that). As Albert transitions to a path, it will be interesting to see what happens with the party dynamic.

It is, Stu Venable. I am a product of those early days, and know it. My stance is that making the Sabbat available as PCs is the worst thing WW did for the Vampire line (I feel like they worked better as the Others In The Shadows, a threat to the PCs' Camarilla). But it's a grognard-y opinion and I know it. EDIT: I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, keep in mind. I just think I know Tim's style enough that he wouldn't do the Path thing.

...and, yeah, with Albert on the Path of the Beast (or Feral Whispers), it's going to mix things up a lot. Maybe not in a good way, for Albert

Who was this?? I don't know how I could have missed so big a development! The homeless man. If we're talking about the most recent episode, I didn't kill him. I paid him for his phone. I thought about killing him, but didn't.

Skully's Humanity has to be near the point of transitioning to a Path by now. Skully is fortunate in that he's only lost 1 humanity point throughout the entire saga.
