Among these beasts are four tribes of shapeshifters. Alliances have been made and treachery is around every corner.

I believe there are a few different viewpoints on Character generation. the first is the man on an island, the player makes the character with minimal knowledge of the the campaign and the other player's characters. ...

Basically it goes like this, I like this game, A LOT. I know it has some major flaws in it, namely the characters complete inability to come in contact with any of the other major races in the oWoD. Stupid? Hell yes! Fixable by ignoring the meta-plot? Certainly! Not that Banality doesn't have it's place in a Changeling game, it's just WAY too big of a factor to ... Let's Talk Games!

I know roughly what the basic mechanics of the game will be. however I am unsure of the setting, what it will be or how much the rules and setting will interact. I am looking for input. what setting styles do you like? what are the games you like to play and what aspects of those settings do you like? personally I am leaning toward near future space mecha combat or ancient world alternate history. I am not all that attached to either of those settings though.

I know that I will be running it with the ORE using Wild Talents. so here are the three settings vying for position. let me know what you think: First, we have a game set in the 1930s, where you play masked heroes. there are no super powers, just gadgets and skills. think batman style games...but in the thirties. the criminals have started dressing in costumes to get away with their crimes, and they appear to be devoting a great deal of their ...
