I dunno, some people get off on that kind of thing...

In one Dawn of Worlds game, I introduced a technology that literally converted pain into (essentially) magic points... and mentioned how the groups who had it had a massive evolutionary incentive to be sadists and masochists, due to being able to get power while they got off.

I think we finally found an actual use for FATAL's anal circumference chart.

In Daoism there was the belief that a man could obtain immortality by absorbing the yin essence from giving women orgasms, while maintaining his yang essence by not jizzing. Many devout daoists took on the challenge of making 100+ women climax before they busted a nut, but tragically none of these scholarly men ever succeeded in achieving immortality. Though it did not stop them from trying.

Oh they achieved immortality I imagine. Well, their reputation, not their body.

Does this include making them orgasm through oral? In that case I found my lichdom ritual.

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.

Beast the Primordial wrote:In Beast: the Primordial, you take the role of one of the Begotten, descendants of an ancient nightmare creature called the Dark Mother. Beasts view each other -- and the other supernatural creatures of the World of Darkness -- as family, which means that Beast is explicitly designed to be crossover-friendly, both in terms of game mechanics and setting.

Beware, though. Just because the Begotten see the vampires, werewolves, mages, changelings, and mummies as kin, doesn't mean the feeling is mutual.
How to write a nWoD sales pitch:

In Blank: the Blankening, you take the role of one of the Blank, descendants of an ancient nightmare creature called the Blank. Blanks view each other as a family and split into five ethnicities and five cliques. Beware, the evil society of Blank is hunting you for a quantum reason you can never learn.

Also lol nWoD crossovers.

Let's try it.
In Skinwalker: the Skinning And Walking, you take the role of the Skinwalkers, descendants of an ancient nightmare creature called the Naaglioshii. Skinwalkers view each other as a family, and not all families are peaceful. Beware, the were-creatures of the world (and their players) all want to kill you for doing what they do, better than they do it.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

Out of curiousity, I decided to use Cards Against Humanity to make my very own nWoD game!

In Dick Fingers: the Mooning, you take the role of one of the Hot People, descendants of an ancient nightmare creature called the Gassy Antelope. Hot People view each other as a family and split into five ethnicities and five cliques. Beware, the evil society of Flying Sex Snakes is hunting you for Shitting All Over The Floor in the ancient court of Atlantis.

In Shovelware: The Shoveling, you take the role of one of the Wareshovelers, descendants of an ancient nightmare creature called the Pretentious. Wareshovelers view each other -- and the other shovelware creators of the World of Darkness -- as family, which means that Shovelware is explicitly designed to be crossover-friendly, both in terms of game mechanics and setting.

Beware, though. Just because the Wareshovelers see the nostalgia of their target demographic as a license to print money, that doesn't mean the feeling has to be mutual

In Gamers: the Gamening, you take the role of one of the Gamers, descendants of an ancient nightmare creature called the Neckbeard. Gamers view each other as a family and split into five ethnicities and five cliques - the Video Gamers, the LARPers, the Tabletoppers, the Storytellers, and the Tea Party. Beware, the evil society of Popular Media is hunting you for a mistaken presumption that you are the cause of all the violence in the world.

I already have a webcomic page on that, but it's scheduled for the Monday after this one.

Dammit, everyone here already beat me to the punch.
