There are 50-odd spells you can cast whenever appropriate. Most cost health or need spell components to cast.
The quirk of the system is that instead of telling you which spells are available in a given situation you're given a jumble of letters and need to figure out which spell names you can write out using them.
It's alright. It fits the unique, weird setting.

I'd definitely give the games a chance, they are some of my favorites.

are modern RPGers this retarded? play KODP and whateverFlags sequel if you seriously thought Lone Wolf Book 1-5 were hard. that said, Gray Star is challenging and more or less old skool DnD magery; you're suppose to be a fragile mage who can sometimes blast a hole in a monster or wall.

Lone Wolf Magnakai is where the series get real hard. with both instant deaths and hard bosses. OG Kaimaster series was easy except for a few avoidable fights and instant deaths. Grandmaster series was balanced, except for 1 stupidly high Combat Skill Lichlord.

I really wonder what kind of major malfunction one must have to unironically enjoy the "classic" gamebooks. I could maybe understand Cave of Time and the like with actual branching as a somewhat fun way to spend an evening, even if a single run lasts like 5 pages or so.
Gamebooks though? By and large, you trade any meaningful freedom in exchange for a railroad packaged with some primitive mimicry of tabletop mechanics that author wants you to suffer through to get "rewarded" with getting to stay on rails of the world's blandest book as opposed to crashing because lmao you didn't buy that item at start, bet you feel mad now, huh? Then they somehow manage to turn the concept even shittier with that weird obsession with difficulty that made authors fill their shoddy books with pitfalls and trap options and overtuned encounters that end up mathematically impossible even with maxed out stats because the faggot didn't bother to actually playtest what he's churned out.

Recently discovered that Tunnels & Trolls (essentially D&D's first clone) has a whole line of solo gamebooks that use the core mechanics.

They are interesting, and much more... Pulp, in the sense that you can clearly see that the writers were influenced far more by Conan and those horny low-budget S&S movies than by fantasy door-stoppers. Despite being pretty short, some also have a fair amount of variety in the scenarios and don't tend to be as sadistic in regards to difficulty as too many of their contemporaries.

Worth an evening, I would say.

I sure wonder what these "men who row" were doing. *Clueless* Most famously, along the Baltic coast and in Slavic lands, they were known for raiding and piracy.
>There are plenty of Ruthenian lands, like Kievan, Red, Black or White (Belarus). The word Russia doesn't originate from any river but all these provinces instead.
So all these lands in fact were indeed named after a word for a pirate raider.
And therefore, the word Russian/Russia is also descended from that.
Not to mention, names of Chinese dynasties and states were usually just names of some fuck who kicked out a previous dynasty, just like founder of Ming, Hongwu, was a penniless buddhist monk.
There is much you can critique about Antari, but the origin of their name is not one of those. That is actually something that makes sense.

Austria was originally the eastern part of Bavaria (they were named after the Boii tribe), the Habsburg basically nurture their slice of land into it own identity it didn't happen instantly just like Wang and Antari. Chinese call themself that not due to geographical reason but more metaphysical because they saw their Empire as the center of civilization. And as for the last part that was the result of ethnic replacment, I believe Slav migrants just asked the native Illyrian the name of the land and just assume it's called Bosnia, literally mean running water, instead of the real name of the land. The exact same things happened with the Romans in Britain with Avon.

Austria in german is to this day called Österreich. Literally meaning Eastern Realm. Which is derived from their status as an eastern march, in defence against Avars and later slavs. Habsburg never changed the name.
And in 1918 and the entire interwar, the Austrians actually struggled with selfidentity, and there were many attempts to engineer a new national identity independent from Habsburgs, while on the other hand there were many who wanted to become part of Germany which eventually resulted in the later prevailing and supporting the Anschluss.

It does seem like using them to properly kill the Faceless Lords is what they're for, and you do get a couple extra assuming that the number of Faceless is correctly identified.

If you use magic to deal with the second Faceless you realise that you're not strong enough to destroy in completely, only banish it back to its plane, whereas using a word erases it from existence. Though I don't know if that will have any meaningful difference in the end or if it's just flavour.

I've only played the first 4 chapters so far, but saving the girl was mentioned offhand once. Probably not worth it.
Whether you destroy or banish the second faceless depends on how much damage you do before the final magic/word choice. I fought it in the cellar where burning it with magic, having enough strength to pull off the combo attack with blade/trouble, shoving your weapon in its mouth, etc. will do enough damage that you can destroy it completely with your final magic attack.

I'm only 5 chapters in so far but that's been the most disappointing thing: Your choice of weapon, specialization, heritage, education, what type of magic you focus on, none of it seems to matter.
All weapons are treated equally. No checks for specific weapons, none that have an advantage over another. Just pick one and raise it.
Every magic check is slightly easier if you've focused on the right school of magic, but the generic magic skill will do just fine too. So as long as you're raising any magic skill, you're good for every type of magic.
Specialization, education and heritage all only change a tiny bit of flavor text.
It's not enough to sour me on the game but definitely disappointing. Not to sound like a shill but I can't help but compare it to something like AC, where what stats you focus on and which style you choose do actually dictate what you can do inside and outside of combat.

It’s a core part of women’s fashion autism, like the way they treat their hair isn’t so different from those wacky American Psycho morning routines. Omitting these kinds of things in interactive fiction can filter out female readers who expect cosmetic choices, like hairstyle, even when those choices have no real reactivity in the game.

My personal favourite is Navigator because it didn't lie or try to screw me over. Father and daughter are alright, I suppose, but I genuinely don't get why I need to babysit his child and why he expects me to do so outside of the typical gameline of us doing all kinds of shit for people who turn out to be liars and cheats until they finally decide to do something for us.

Bounty hunter just poofed after I've finished Feng's questline. Funnily enough, narrative puts words into MC's mouth, again, about wondering if we were simply a target for him or maybe something more despite me trying to shoot him and leave him to the dogs at every opportunity.

How so? These games have no advertisement and players find them mostly through word of mouth or by browsing the forum and looking for active threads. At some point, you reach all the people that would be interested in supporting you there, so you either stay on that plateau or try to find an extra audience in some other place.

What would you like to see in a potential hunter game? Personally i want the option to hunt alone or to just not have so many friendly characters that ruin the larp, also more actual hunts and stuff like planning out an attack. The coolest part of Glenkincove was soloing that one vampire at the end.
Also do the humans in WOD have vampire and werewolf media like in our world? I dont remember any of the two hunter games mentioning or comparing WOD with pop culture.

That with a sprinkle of schizokino. If you want to go the extra mile, several origins/backstories for us would be cool to have. I would be especially partial to playing a sorcerer or an escaped ghoul.
>Also do the humans in WOD have vampire and werewolf media like in our world?
Yes, that's part of why thinbloods are so fucked. Their sires abandon them without explaining anything, so they rely on pop culture for information about their unlife. A large part of it is obviously wrong. Proper vampires also use it to muddle the water so hunters look even more unhinged than they are.

What I love about Hunter is how it’s all about throwing yourself at insane odds. Only played Hunter the ttrpg twice. First dude I rolled was a 60 year-old engineer with sclerosis, wife was a nurse who got killed at work by some crackhead. Turns out the guy was actually a thinblood. So my boomer went full Ted Kaczynski, started bombing vamps left and right. Ended up dying at home when the local prince sent his scourge to clean thigns up, but not before blowing himself up with half the hit squad.

Honestly, I'm befuddled how you managed to get a general running at all. There is maybe one ""real"" text-based game a year, while all the choicescript trash is in the permanent state of WIP noncompletion. In the best traditions of non-professional development, nothing surprising there. But evidently it's not even worth shitposting about, if this thread is any indication.
Is waifufaggotry that strong? Are there enough schizos to bump the topic for weeks? Do you just cling to the thread because the genre is so stupidly niche that you refuse to let it die for good?

That's probably the closest. These threads blew up shortly before Lords of Infinity was officially out, but essentially it was complete. It's an autistic game with an autistic fanbase, so as you could expect, some of /vrpg/ anons were already into that or were potential audience. At the same time, the forum was unusable due to gigafaggots shitting up the discussion with their brownoid angst, so people were more than happy to talk here instead.
That carried the first several months, together with Fallen Hero. Every now and then some other game got a bit of discussion. I remember the threads slowing hard at the time of Wayhaven 3 because it was so shit that not even the fans talked about it. Finally, cultivator anon emerged and essentially claimed this place for himself due to a lack of competition.

Twine has been around for longer, and has all of html behind it. Inkle, the ones who made Sorcery, open-sourced their tool as well. RenPy is also no slouch, being python. Anybody making a proper game worth selling will just come up with an ad-hoc system.

Twine isn't brainlet-enabling enough for most CS writers. Setting up 4 radko buttons and a continue buttion in twine requires custom labels, classes, opening and closing tags for every choice, a big continue button with a run.engine call and closing tag, if or case statements attached to the variable set by the choice. Choicescript does all that with *choice, one # per option, and some tabs. Twine can make the same game but not fluidly, writing 1m words and stopping for all that code so often is a serious blocker. That may be fixed soon.

I'm replaying night road again and i noticed no one really cares if youre caitiff or not. Like, what's the point of introducing them if doesn't really matters? Same shit with the Nosferatu desu.

AC's MC is a luckGOD and JDFchad (canon) so this shit doesn't matter. Poma's MC should also be WAAAAAAAAAAY stronger than he is currently since he literally possesses the strongest physique in the universe.

it's called being scrappy and cunning when you use luck and convenient power ups while being a shitter. Wu fraud is embarrassing to watch because he's supposed to be at the peak of the food chain while he loses to local wildlife.

God I want to like POMA so bad but it keeps not giving me the cool stuff. Let me build my Clan. If that's dead at least let me build a faction within the Sect to eventually branch off as my own. I know they keep saying that you can't take anyone with you, but you it's also confirmed you DON'T play any of the upper-realm content. All you get is this world. So let me do cool and fun stuff in this world.

5th edition was a mistake

The only remotely interesting thing they did was the Call having a lot of the Elders fuck off to the Middle East but even that was handled poorly.

That's a shame. I was hoping there would be more interactivity when the Nossie started throwing derogatory slang at my Tremere.

You get different opportunities to meet your Sire (Lumbago for Gangrels, Invidia for Tremeres, Julian for Assamites) and ice them in some cases, but Caitiff doesn't get even that. I vaguely remember that Nosferatu gets Lettow's enforcer as both a sire and a romance option.

I think the reason so many games get away with the whole MC being abused/raped thing is that CoG allows this type of content if you can argue it's transformative and artistic or something like that.
>Trust me mr cogadmin-kun the MC getting raped by her father, uncle and cousin is purely for plot development reasons and is not fetishistic in any way.

It follows a lot of the old plot beats Older brother gets most of the attention and love as a little kid, King and his kids go hunting, you visit this one cold Northern Duke expy and his slutty sister, dad gets poisoned and dies etc. but it's greatly expanded on and you don't get casually bullied by people anymore which makes it feel much better than the original.
You're also always chosen as the King now, and the story after that is supposed to be very different so there's that.

I checked it out with the intention of shitposting about it. The height of irony is that the writing is better than 99% of cogslop and the author at least seems to know something about middle ages, despite only using the setting to have our preacious bean be a helpless woman who can't say no to anyone. Sword of Rhivenia should take notes.
It's also a decent study on what kind of smut women like. Protip, it's not about girlbosses girlbossing beta cucks.

The fact that the author knows what kind of story they want to tell, and just laser focuses on telling it with a clear ending planned compared to the endless filler you see in a lot of new cog and especially twine shit, has my respect
