RPGaDAY 2026 25. Familiarity
#RPGaDAY 2026
25. Familiarity
25. One game you want to get more familiar with?
I would like a chance to play Storypath Ultra someday, and try the Quick Play variant too, as they’re streamlined next steps after the version used in Trinity Continuum.

Chicago By Ludonarrative
Ludonarrative Dissidents look at Chicago By Night V5 and how it reflects changes to Vampire: The Masquerade. Positive on the content, concerns on layout decisions, thoughts on playability versus readability. Noting the Beckoning and how many old vampires are still around (which was always a bit much for Chicago, coming first will do that) and the use of the adventure.

So if you’re still calling it nWoD we can kill and eat you.

RPGaDAY 2025 12 - Path
#RPGaDAY2025
12 - Path
A path suggests something narrower and perhaps less clearly marked than a road.
Morpheus says “there’s a difference between knowing the path and walking the path” in The Matrix. The Crow ends with Jane Siberry speaking of how “we walk the narrow path beneath the smoking skies” and City Of Angels ends with Heather Nova singing “I believe there’s a path we follow...” The end of the Tenth Doctor’s era in Doctor Who begins with a hymn that “there is always a path, we walk it all our lives...”
Pathfinder emphasises paths have to be found.
And the Onyx Path heads into the horizon.
All suggest going out past the roads where civilisation ends, possibly going into literal danger and wilderness or possibly seeking wisdom. And that it isn’t easy.
(Of course you can also have a garden path, but work with me here.)

Where, Lucky, Genre
Going in search of mystical answers all gets a bit too metaphysical for the genre you’re in. Buffy didn’t take her vision quests entirely seriously. To be fair, one involved Giles jumping out of a circle of sticks and back in and shaking a magic gourd. Presentation is important when trying to seem mysterious and wise.

Curseborne
Curseborne Ashcan launched as of Onyx Path Con.
The Curseborne panel mentioned Mike Flanagan’s Fall Of The House of Usher, Concrete Blonde’s Bloodletting and Unsolved Mysteries when I asked for inspirational media suggestions.
They note that you can rebel against horrible families or lean in. (My takeaway from the Actual Play premiere was that two of the five PCs are annoying people and one is a monster without their monstrous powers. Happy to see this is not a requirement.)

Curseborne promotional pamphlet
A look in and around the Curseborne promotional pamphlet.
An emphasis on modern horror and urban fantasy, suggesting it plays more like creepypasta than Being Human.
Kicking October.
Five Lineages - Dead, Hungry, Primal, Outcast and Sorcerer. Yes, that covers most of the classic WoD splats.
