Superheroes With Fangs And Poseur Angst is attempting to reclaim relevance over 25 years after its moment ended.
I'll post the Summary:
- Difficulty System: The new approach involves subtracting dice from a player's pool based on difficulty
- Drama System: A narrative resource for Storytellers, functioning similarly to legendary actions in other tabletop systems to enhance scene complexity
- Quickening: A new mechanic resembling hero points, earned through specific rolls or failures, which can be spent to add dice or gain successes
- Combat and Stats: The video highlights a transition to a more streamlined initiative system based on Wits (35:11), the introduction of Baneful damage and a significant shift in how Vite (blood) and Willpower function as core resources
- The video details significant shifts in clan structures, such as the Gangrel gaining Celerity and the Giovanni becoming their own standalone clan
- New disciplines like Corruption and the restructuring of Necromancy are explored in depth
- Maturing Powers: A standout feature where discipline powers become more potent as a player gains more dots in that specific discipline
- Conclusion: The host offers a balanced view, praising the move toward a middle ground between the classic V20 and V5 systems while also expressing frustration with the reduction of the skill list and the current handling of Flaws. The overall tone is optimistic, encouraging players to look past internet negativity and provide constructive feedback directly through the official survey
You'd actually be better off playing the Official D&D adaptation.
Fuck this. Mark Hagan wasn't nearly so incompetent as this.
