      @Sab I remember there was a rule to make supernatural beings pretty much immune to the auto-hate aspect Prometheans induce in others. I forget how, if at all, they handled the Wastelands.

        @Jennkryst & @GF I thought they reduced the disruptive nature of Disquiet and Wastelands in PtC 2nd Edition. I’ll have to dig through my book when I get off work.

          Yeah, there were lots of options (and some really great ones!) that could totally make up for a lot of things Disquiet and Wasteland do, but I’m mostly thinking about how Wasteland eventually changes their surroundings to try and kill them and how that would effect a static grid.

          There would be ways to do it as long as you heavily focused on that as an element of the game as a whole–and some of those ways are probably really interesting–but I’m not sure how much fun it would be in an open game like City of Glass or similar.

            Set it in a post-apocalyptic setting. Who the hell knows who caused the wasteland, and everything is already trying to kill you. Done!

              @Tez A question before I start putting together a character:

              How much are you guys pushing the espionage aspects of Demon in the game?

                @MisterBoring I have no scale for comparison. Less than Jason Bourne. Can’t burn covers recklessly. Don’t be a jerk. Share the story.

                Last scene I had with a pair of demons included high-tailing it away from an angel that my character accidentally riled up. But characters explicitly, expressly not hidden from other PCs as supernatural creatures and the storylines are expected to work together in a PvE way.

                  @MisterBoring Everyone kind of sort of has Unseen Senses so they get a tingle when they see other supernatural folks who are part of the Oath (read: PCs with any supernatural merits or a power stat). This does not mean you must tell people you are a demon or that you were created by the God Machine for X reason.

                  Big question is ‘do you take the cover degradation +roll for revealing secrets like mentioned on that one page of the book or no’

                    I guess what I’m asking is “Can my character do cool supernatural spy missions as part of his story?”

                      https://cityofglass.aresmush.com/wiki/demon#cover-and-the-oath

                      Cover and the Oath

                      “The Oath does not trigger any Compromise rolls. Reality counts as “known” with regards to this particular magic and thus does not strain the Cover to risk Glitches, nor trigger any reaction from the God-Machine. Demons have been made aware that all beings that fall under the Oath are, generally, no risk to their Cover. Your character is not compelled to spill every detail about herself the moment she feels the tingle of the Oath along her spine, but she would not react strongly to other demons sharing information with other supernaturals and supernatural humans.”

                        @MisterBoring Cool Supernatural Spy Missions are how you undermine the God Machine. Go forth, blow things up!

                          My takeaway from this is that Demon is just a supernatural version of Burn Notice.

                            @Testament Not far from the truth. I don’t have my book in front of me, but I believe Burn Notice is mentioned in the inspiration, along with Person of Interest.

                              @MisterBoring I may, eventually, slowly, one day make a Demon, but I think I read the term ‘burned’ in the first 30 pages I read this past weekend. Probably why it came to my head.

                                    @Testament Oh agreed. He turned me onto mojitos and I rarely drink anything else when I get the opportunity.

                                      Fi for the win.

                                      … it probably says something that my favorite characters from BN and PoI are Fi and Shaw…

                                      …well, the human characters, from PoI. There are at least two non-human characters that trump everyone else.

                                      In Occam I trust.

                                        Mixed up BURN NOTICE and BURN AFTER READING, and boy, lemme tell you, that changed the meaning of this post a whole bunch

                                          @Rinel Burn After Reading is about a bunch of highly confused Stigmatics and their attempt at playing in the big leagues.
