[mossydice]

pinned time pinned time :]

hi!! I'm moss amongst other names (mainblog @mossylocks) and I am Catastrophically adoring of my ttrpg characters, CAIN and both the new and old world of darkness settings ᓚᘏᗢ I am also

aged (21+)

gendered (they/it)

audhd and anxious, so if I'm kinda awkward/stilted in conversation, that's likely why !!

More importantly though, I'm an artist of a kind and writer of a sort; this blog contains my sketches and ramblings, alongside things I find cool *:･ﾟ✧ If you find yourself interested in the characters I post here, I try to be consistent with tagging them!! featured lil guys include:

Coppelia (vtm) ▸oc: coppelia (also has a toyhouse page!!)

Pepper (vtm) ▸oc: Pepper Saviano

Seraph (CAIN)▸oc: Seraph

Thirteen-E (lancer) ▸oc: thirteen-e (has a couple fics on AO3!!)

And more !!

Thanks for passing by \o/!!

Hunter the Vigil character for a oneshot I'll be playing in !! Doc Katsaros, most folk just call em Ross

[sharkrad08222222]

So what's their story? You think they would join the sliver cross?

[mossydice]

Ross is actually part of a Conspiracy, since the one shot I made them for was designed for tier 3 !! They’re a fresh-out-of-training Asclepeion, one of the additional conspiracies made available for 2e Vigil in Tending the Flame

Because this particular playgroup is entirely up for drama, we also used a couple of the supernatural templates from Hurt Locker; we have a couple but, me in particular, I thought the similarity in superficial effect between some of the Asclepeion endowments, and certain Psychic Vampire abilities was really fun :3c (plus from an above-table pov, being able to regen willpower for both myself and others seemed wildly useful from a support-player stance; mechanically psychic vampires can steal wp as well as hp, and use it to power various effects including wp regen and healing. + I took the ability to use this ability for others benefit too!!)

As for in-world backstory, Ross ended up encountering Hunters from the Asclepeion conspiracy after they got abducted; an alchemist with a vested interest in eternal youth recognised what they were before even they really understood it properly, and nabbed them along with another few test subjects. During the rescue operation they tried to make themself useful out of a feeling of guilt, and once it was all over asked the doctor-looking hunters on sight if there was any way they could join. After an impromptu interview, arrangements were made !!

They’ve kept their abilities hidden out of fear they’ll be seen as just another monster should the truth of it come out; they’ve worked hard to make sure they don’t have to take much from others (mechanically reflected by my investment in the merit), and they’re cautious to only overtly use any powers that match with the capabilities being an Asclepeion bestows !! But if we come back to this one-shot group (which plans are, we might) there’s a member of their team with his own secrets who might be on to them already >:3c

Overall I am Once Again playing with themes of fearing yourself, but fearing what others might think of you even more

glass cannon is objectively the sexiest build. you put down 10 enemies in one go and then need to be carried off the battle field the next round? so hot

[wodcommunityboard]

Found this website called ghoulapp.com that helps with VTM character creation. It has:

A mode for v5 and v20

A glossary that has terms you need to know when starting alongside intro descriptions of clans, disciplines, and sects

A dice roller that includes hunger and DC

A fast build mode that lets you use character archetype templates as a starting base

The start of a vampiric history timeline

And much more that I haven’t explored yet…

Pirate changeling (fairest cloakskin) for a pirate-era chronicles of darkness game I got invited to !! I'm excitedd . nobody "noddy" reilly is hitting the high seas Imminently

[wodconfessions]

I would love to see more physically old characters. I'm tired of vampire fiction being populated by characters who look like teens and twinks.

smile, and sing, and dance, darling. It's all you're good for.

"Ok, ma'am that'll be $226.03."

I take my wallet out of my pocket and unfold it. It is empty other than a single moth that lazily flies out. The moth lands on the tap point of the card reader. There's a beat, and my payment is processed. The moth flies back into my wallet and I put it back in my pocket.

the thing about circle mages is that the circle makes you irretrievably insane and then turns around and tells you it’s your fault. which is cool

[ikarons]

to be more specific it’s about how mages are ripped from their families and their lives as children and shut away for the rest of their lives in conditions that are completely unlivable where they are punished for their existence, horrifically exploited, and sometimes just disappeared entirely! and then they are painstakingly taught that Any natural reaction to this treatment is actually dangerous and immoral (immoral Because it is dangerous), and if they have these reactions it actually just proves the necessity of this treatment — because clearly it is not safe for them to be around other people.

and like. it’s perfect, circular logic; you are a good mage if you agree that you deserve this abuse and serenely accept this treatment. if you’re angry or defiant you’re a Bad mage and you face further abuse. and the distress this causes can actually literally cause you to be forcibly turned into an abomination (which Often means you just die as a demon takes over your body), necessitating lethal force against you and turning you into an example to the other mages of the truth of this logic. which in turn incentivises compliance and even willing submission to being made tranquil if a mage fears that they can’t control their emotions. which feeds the economic venture that is the circle system at the same time as reinforcing the idea that any suffering a mage experiences is Their Fault, and any punishment or consequence for reacting poorly to subjugation is Also. their fault. because they are a danger and the only way Not to be a danger is to be passive pliant and cooperative.

unrelated but have you noticed how crazy every circle mage companion is about their own emotions and those of other mages in particular

Drew each of my exorcists over their respective Blasphemy cards

Asher Sill - Roar (Harpocrates Dossier)

[mossydice]

Hey gamers- so my ttrpg group consists pretty much entirely of online folk and with us thinking about running CAIN at some point I went hunting for a sheet template I could use on docs so my character would be easily shareable with my group. Couldn’t find one, ended up making one for myself, thought I’d share it in case that ends up being useful for other online only groups o7 !! The exorcist card and CAIN symbol are both direct out of the book, everything else is tables that you should be able to move around if you want stuff in different places. Link to the template here, just make a copy and fill in for your character :]

Notes: it’s definitely a desktop beast as mobile formatting breaks the layout pretty heavy, it’s readable but not very functional. Also please be nicies to me it’s my first time trying to make a sheet layout in docs ᓚᘏᗢ //EDIT: meowdy folks I have!! Updated this!! link to the new version found here. You can Absolutely still use the old version just fine hence why I'm leaving it, but the new sheet is cleaner and easier to edit to have more boxes as needed imo, and has a segment for Bonds + an optional lore page with personnel notes if you want to write out some observations from CAIN :3 enjoy!!

[mossydice]

HELLO GAMERS!!!

this ones a reblog because I want to make it Clear this is a new addition; v3 update of the docs sheet is assembled

it's mostly got a lot more space because the longer I play the more I realise my fixation with Minimal Pages has not given me a Lot of space

get v3 here!! make a copy to fill in, and go forth *:･ﾟ✧

[mossydice]

I think about contrition a lottttt
