>what is curseborne?
Curseborne is the newest Onyx Path Publishing TTRPG on dark urban fantasy genre. It's about being unapologetic monsters in a world where being monstrous is the least of your worries. In Curseborne, you play as Accursed, descendants of monstrous Lineages lurking in a modern world that closely resembles our own. You rebel against the ancient feuds between these entwined families, as well as against the web of curses that bind you, while fending off inhuman antagonists seeking to claim — or reclaim — your power.

Can this game replicate HtV 2nd edition, or will that book forever remain the unattainable summit of White Wolf writing?

Network Sorcerer. My friend who wants to GM wants to do a Dark Academia setting and players are the students. I'm thinking on playing a female character this time, but I still don't know much about her background.[/tg/thread/96694677#p96742187]
[/tg/thread/96694677#p96741470]
They said in the early kickstart days they'll try to balance metaplot, something in-between WoD and CofD. So no worries on that part.[/tg/thread/96694677#p96742389]

I feel blessed someone also want to do a Network Sorcerer like myself. These are ideas and builds are crazy!

My first character is gonna be a PowerTap Network Sorcerer I plan on stress testing the game & being as broken as I can get. Take Resources & get a high Enhancement to my spell rolls, buy some really defensive armor to hide in Extradimensional Pockets so I can just "suit up" when the need arises. Force a bond on villains, Soul Scry them later & portal bombs to wear he sleeps. Summon Imp, Bond with Imp, Camouflage them into a wine bottle, gift them to people. Im sure that'll be useful in some fashion.After that I might play something else

i really like the idea of a memori sorcerer who either is from a already solved epoch or has been in so many that her knowledge about the main timeline is less than ideal including her own personal relationships, but they are a player's guide family so my first character is mostlikely going to be a zed who commited suicide in life and is now deeply jealous of everything that can just die

Maybe you should mention that the Ashcan edition is currently free.

The thing that stumps me about this book is. Who the hell am I going to play this with? Because who is this for? Certainly not new gamers. They don't know this exists. Old gamers? Maybe, but the book's writting is so geared towards a demographic they aren't apart of anymore its downright alienating from the get. And besides, would rather hook new/returning players to a system that already holds sentimental value in their heart.Does that just leave kickstarter backers? I don't know who those guys are. And If so, their cellphone numbers better be printed in the back with the index. I'd be nice to play with someone who already has the game.You'd figure the purpose of making a fork off of Nightlife might be to reintroduce the concept to a new/returning audience, but the marketing just ain't it.

I find it a little funny how this was posted on the thirteenth, lol. Moving on, what's your favorite Lineage and/or Families and why? I'm a big Sorcerer guy, just because I prefer the mage archetype, though I admit that I don't actually 'hate' any of the Lineages, Sorcerers just win out for me. Also, vola is down, anyone got any alternative links for the docs please?

Shit game. Hope it flops. There is nothing in this game that can stand on it's own and the writing is shit made by past prime gen x'ers and aging millnnials. Worst shit I've read,

Well, my plan for my first character WAS gonna be a werewolf, but it turns out Curseborne is probably the worst game yet for playing a werewolf, so who knows. If I end up playing it, the sorcerers seem to be the only ones that might be decent

What's the best Lineage/Family for a l8minality spelunker/streamer? Like, they wear a gopro camera, maybe uses a drone, they go I to liminalities, sharing their experience with the world online, probably will have the Fame Edge.

Okay, what are your hopes for the future of Curseborne? I asked in the last thread near the end and two suggestions were module books and books for each Lineage, what about you? I’d like more Families and/or Lineages based on Greek mythology, like picrel.

Oh my god it's already flopped isnit I sent pdf to all my wod friends and they either think it's shit or never even bothered to read beyond table of contents they said actually the table of contents made them turn off the pdf no one csn escape from the grip of Muammar Karim and his nordic conglomerate I bet he actively sabotaged this book too
btw the person who actually read it didn't like the core concept of curse's universality.

The PG mechanics chapter is out. 3 new Torments per Lineage, 2 new spells per Practice, 11 new Rituals, a new Edge per Lineage and 7 new mundane ones, plus a few hints at how Venators are going to work.

Reading through the antagonists section... why are they so shitty to cops? How many fucking urban fantasy shows is spooky thing partnered with a cop? No respect for regular cops either. What's with that? Cops are your friend 90% of the time. All villains are gonna be criminals of one stripe or another & PCs dont have to be criminal if they dont want to.

that's an awful lot of money to pay for a hooker who doesn't even take her clothes off. if this art is from the game, the writers and publishers need to grow some balls. Don't dwell on prostitute themes in your game if you are scared to draw a naked girl.
