I was going to wait to post my thoughts on V6 til my turn to playtest Sunday, but apparently they posted the rules online??
Stay tuned for my thoughts on that
Gonna use this as a jumping off point to do the rant that I literally opened this app to do.
I am not a fan of them doing a 6th edition only 3 games into 5th edition. Mostly I’m just mad we probably won’t get a mage 5. Even if it sucked I just really wanted to see how they executed that. However another think that ticks me off is the lack of a Wraith game, specifically because of the merging Necromancy and Obtenebration into Oblivion. I think this was one of the dumbest decisions made in v5, especially because they are functionally separate disciplines you just have the option of taking powers from either one no matter if you’re a Lasombra or Hecata. This change is somewhat justified by the fact that in lore both powers are connected to the Shadowlands, and as the name implies the force of Oblivion. They draw on this lore from Wraith the Oblivion (LITERALLY THE NAMESAKE OF THE GAMELINE), and then just don’t use the game that that lore comes from. I know this is kinda a petty nitpick but it gets on my nerves, especially cause wraith is such an interesting system with sick lore and fun stories to be told, and I honestly think it lends itself the most to fifth edition’s focus on personal stakes horror.
