@Pavel Motherfucker, I’m literally eating lunch right now at work.

The Ortallus debacle brought back fewer bad memories than I expected, and does offer some joy in rediscovering all the epic, effortless dunks people got in.

@Tez omg twinshit, my favorite

There was a specific subgroup of folks on owod changeling places that loved to have magical twins, but after a few games that wasn’t enough so magical triplets started to happen. I never saw it pushed past that into higher higher order multiples clearly no one was hardcore enough.

This… is so strange to me. I think I recall that in the oWoD Changeling book it specifically mentions that Changelings having kids tends to be terrible.
Some Changelings think that having kids just gets them these effortless Glamour production machines, but in reality what generally happens is that the parents have to give up their own dreams to take care of the kid. So most Changelings who have kids end up quickly becoming Grumps or outright falling to the Mists.
Either that, or they get a visit from Child Protective Services and suddenly have to deal with the entirety of Banal bureaucracy landing on their heads. And that, in turn, might invite the notice of less savory Prodigals.
Basically, taking care of kids is really, really difficult and a responsibility you can’t shirk without inviting ever greater scrutiny and headaches.
But I guess those folks who engaged in magical multiple births just ignored the consequences.

Literally the most accurate thing any WoD book has ever suggested.

@STD You are really kind of making me want to play a manic pixie dream mama. But I suppose that’s really just Mary Poppins, isn’t it?
-
yes, it was very much a case of ignoring that in favor of picking out the flavors for the magical babies and yes not reading the theme/source material.
No, I don’t really understand the appeal, but there are things I like that other people are like lol what. But at least usually they’re things in the lore/source that fascinated me while being boring/horrifying to others!

i haven’t done owod but all i really know of owod is that it was illegal for anyone to have sex with anyone else

@Roz Well, WoD has certainly made up for lost time, now.
-
@STD Oh its weirder than that. Changeling do not age while they are in the Dreaming and/or Freeholds. So it is totally possible your Kinain child has grown older than you.
They can learn Arts and Realms, too, and since they are immune to cold iron, why not make faerie bargains with them to help fite the bad things?
… incidentally, this could also be why Changelings hook up with Kinain, to have a ‘real’ parent around while they are out playing pretend with the others.
Or, if you want to look at it in a less Unseelie way, Commoners do the ‘village to raise a child’ approach, and Nobles do Lords and Ladies ‘have the help raise the child for me’ thing.

@hellfrog said in MU Peeves Thread:
it’s just a lot. IME when you need to legislate something for OOC/game reasons, it’s best to use a light hand. And when people start to try to logic around it, you can just say 'please handwave this, we just don’t want to deal with it".
This. And really. Please do.
“You can’t do that for IC reason A,” tends to make me look for an IC work-around, and by the time I realise I’m being told “Don’t go there,” I’ve already frustrated and annoyed somebody by coming up with and elaborating on seven stupid ways to get around A and two clever ones.
“We don’t want to go there and I can help you with some IC excuses for that, such as A,” seems easier on everybody.

I… I can’t stop reading it…
The referenced hog pit ovulation expert thread…
I… wow, lol. It hurts, but I can’t stop.

@allthecookies I had to stop after about five pages? It was just wow. Ortallus must be a peach in real life to deal with.
