//What are your favorite magical/enchanted items you have seen in a VtM game?

IIRC, there are no V5 RAW for magic items -- minus ones that get buffs from Disciplines -- e.g. One With The Blade or Shaft of Belated Dissolution

Which is fair; magic items are much more a MtA thing, or rarely WtA thing

Ya hear that, @thetechnocracy.bsky.social and @order-of-hermes.bsky.social

Paradigm stubbornness is bad!

Be flexible, like centuries old Kindred....
We're not going to all come to share one view, and if you think we are, there is something *fucked* with your approach.

But we can collect a bunch, and have favourites.

Anyway, serious face off, back to fucking about.

"If the impossible were possible, would you do it?" (AI cant make great & watchable movies)

"If people could be removed from making art, would you let a money printer print money for you by claiming to be art?"

"Hey artists, confirm for me the 98th Rule of Acquisition: every man has his price"
Writers if you could drop your novel or short story into an AI and have it make a great and watchable movie out of your story, and you could sell that movie, would you do it? #writers #WritingCommunity

I really like this substitution method. Explains the addict-like behavior these AI hype bros just wont STFU about.

Also, it works in the other direction too:

Brainstorm me some good locations to be Elysium

My brain automatically says "hotel ballroom" or "back room night club" but Im looking to change it up.

What are some of your favorite Elysium locations?

I've been thinking about Blackjack

It's a game where, even w/ correct strategy, the House *always* retains an advantage (assuming a freshly shuffled deck between every single hand, meaning card-counting doesn't work)

Why is this? Why can't the player merely copy the dealers strategy to break even?

//The Kindred NPC intimidated the Kindred PC's into ending the fight & letting NPC escape

Little did they know the Kindred NPC was at Hunger 5 and 100% out of dirty tricks. (tbf, they did nearly knock the tank PC into torpor, and still had a chance to do so, even w/o blood buffs or dirty tricks)

//hey @legaleagle.tv do you use GenAI to generate thumbnails for your videos? (or anywhere else in your vids, for that matter?)

I get the feeling that the thumbnail for this video is AI generated (specifically trumps face) and I'd like to hear that I'm wrong, so figured I'd directly ask

I forget how great of a character Amos is. Such a fantastic sociopath. Like Titus Pullo, but in space.

Now there's a conversation that'd be interesting to imagine; Titus Pullo meets Amos Burton at a brothel.

Alright neonates, if you can incorporate triskaidekaphobia into a ritual casting, you won't get any bonus points, nor any style points & the Regent won't approve of you any more than they did before you did that

But you should try to do it anyway. As part of your practice of doing worthless things.
