The problem with White Court
« on: October 22, 2012, 12:43:18 PM »
I've come to...aw dammit, I mean I've reached the conclusion that White Court PCs make it really hard...dammit! I mean, they make it difficult to avoid certain things at the table.

Innuendo. Innuendo everywhere. Maybe gamers are just inherently immature, but since adding a White Court PC, the accidental innuendo at the table has risen...dammit! It's gone up...DAMMIT! Okay, long story short...

...

I quit.

Nave you trķed one of the many other varieties of White Court?

In the case of my players it doesn't even require the presence of White Court vamps, they're just naturally dirty minded.  Like the time the master of one of the apprentice wizards told her she was going to take lessons in sonomancy, or using the Air element to control sound, but the whole table heard SODOmancy and thought he was going to do some very inappropriate things with his staff.

A wizard's staff has a knob at the end?  :D

Well, the player did choose a Lust vampire, so I hold her--dammit!--I blame her. Joking aside, I wonder if anyone else has noticed an "innuendo aura" surrounding lust vampire PCs.

Who knows?  But it could be an interesting Incite Effect power.

Although good luck making it useful.

He's not talking about a power. He's just saying that when the White Court shows up his players go for the innuendo. Hell, mine do to. So does the GM (me).

Yeah, I know.  I was going for the ludicrous.

Can you really blame anyone though?

True. My problem with the White Court is that the plots get complicated fast. One of my games has a WC-centric scenario going on, and even I'm having trouble keeping track of who's setting up whom, who's playing the PCs off against the others, and who started the whole mess.

Which is an awesome problem to have, eventually when it all hits the fan the sole survivor can just step up and take credit.

Or just have someone apply the Gordian Knot solution...

Or blame it on one of the ones who didn't make it. Which is precisely what at least one of the NPCs in my game is planning.

Even better, do both!  Then you can have cake and eat it too.

That happens in all my games. Isn't that the way it's supposed to go?

BUT THOSE ARE THE BEST PLOTS EVER! It's why my first character is WC (I play manipulators like most people breathe). Although, he's less likely to make you go out with a bang and more likely to scare you to death.

The innuendo has more to do with people basically being a bunch of balding bonobos.
