In original WoD, it was like: Vampires don’t do sex because A) The Kiss is better, B) The kiss is better, and C) Sex is for living things and other vamps will mock you for doing it.
Then they realized that living people like sex, and sex sells, so it’s changed to, ‘Some vampires do it for pleasure or hunting, but the Kiss is still better’.
With how often vampires are used as metaphors for queerness and/or STIs, it feels silly and slightly insecure to say vampires don’t bone down. Like, that decision feels very rooted in a sense of “Um, we’re too mature and adult to be horny. That’s kid stuff and we’re very serious grownups.”
Plus your game has failed if you let me play a vampire but discourage me from saying “So then I said to my girlfriend, ‘See you next month!’”
LOL Wasn’t my idea, was just the original 1e book rules. There was even a /flaw/ for Vampires to have a Sex Drive, like, any sort of biological attraction to humans.
Don’t blame me, I’m not a writer. I also don’t generally play Vampires much but Werewolf and Mage hadn’t come out yet back then.

In any case, CoD and VtR kinda have more transgressive shit in them than I’ve ever seen sanctioned on a mush. Not saying that is a bad thing. Just saying that I do find “heavens to Betsy wherever did these players get these ideas, we aren’t shang” when its right there in the source books to be really unintentionally amusing.

My policy best policy. “Don’t fucking ask me about this. Do not make me rule on this. Or else.” Paraphrased, I think there was less swearing and more threats.
Also pretty much my policy when running games. “Do not make me adjudicate whatever weird TS y’all are getting up to. I didn’t consent to be involved in it and I’m going to be real cranky if you make me do this. Otherwise, bang on and have fun.”
The last part there is especially important because it needs to be made clear that if someone is in engaging in behavior that is officially Not Okay, the person reporting them isn’t going to be in trouble for engaging in TS. I do not care that people were TSing. But if someone, anyone, is being abusive and there is an added layer of sex pest on top that, there is also going to be an added layer of Absolutely Fucking Not in my response.

Yeah, that’s 100% the way to go. For Ashes, Vampire Sex was The Hot Button Topic at the time and I was so tired of people arguing about it. So tired. They were never ever going to agree or be able to compromise (somebody had to be WRONG, Sunny) and I was NOT gonna pick a side.

I’ve never played in a WoD MU* but I spent MANY years running oWoD LARPs. This saved me from most, but not all of the worst sex-related shit that haunts the aesthetic. Like do what you folks want as long as it’s enthusiastically consensual but I’m gonna go run another scene and you can just let me know how it turns out later.
In a MU* context tho this actually sounds kind of hilarious. I’m the wrong ST for that though. You’re gonna end up with a gang of hunters coming through the windows just when you finally got the goat lubed up.
edit: the goat is a shifter too and has a safe bleat. don’t @ me

There is now iced tea spray on my lap. Take your upvote and get out.

@shit-piss-love I didn’t know goats could bleat ‘banana’.

I admit, the thing I laughed at most when I first started playing on Arx was some lore answer/file that was essentially “we don’t want to answer questions about poop.”

This is why I always go Life Mage in WoD, gotta change that biochemistry so my character never has to go to the bathroom again.

There are vampires with blood powers that allow them to reshape parts of their bodies.
And people do that to reshape a penis to be larger?!
Oh my. This Christian MU Board really has gone degenerate and you all need Jesus.

Can WOD talk go far away from where I am suppose to be a complete bitch.
(This is a joke)

@Aria DUN DUN DUNNNN! For… now.
-
@Whisky I am not am expert but it is my understanding all penis-bearing humans use blood to make their penises (penii?) larger.
-
@GF Not necessarily larger. But more rigid and erect, yes. And the plural is penises or penes.
