Corn Flakes
Battle Creek's Finest
So the Tzimisce went from stylish Eastern-European Dracula-wannabes with a body horror theme to... that.
I have no words, so a meme will do.

On one hand it's nice to see Tzmisce art which isnt gribbly tentacles and a big pile of gore on the other hand I'm really begining to hate the 2020 vogue lineup style they keep using.

White wolf art has never been top tier but they've really gone to shit with this edition.
They just don't want to admit that "woke" is now corporate, mainstream and increasingly enforced. These people have a psychological and ideological need to think they're underdogs, otherwise their entire worldview collapses. And so anything that stands in their path needs to be paved over.Whatever they do when they make a new Mage the Ascension it's going to be terrible.
You can't square modern progressivism with mage, like how the fuck do you do it? 'Here's a game about radically different worldviews and perspectives all cooperating against a tyrannical and dominant ideological organization that demands absolute allegiance to its own worldview'.
You turn wokeness into a tool of the Technocratic Union. Progressives are taught to only believe in progressivism, social media platforms and news media outlets uses it as an excuse to censor and suppress the spread of information, a loyal base that will mindlessly believe whatever propaganda the powers that be wants to spread is cultivated. Corporations use it to pander as it's the morality of the day. The Union is right at its back, propping it up.
But instead of course they'll try to inject modern progressivism into the side of the traditions. After all, two and a half decades ago, old wod contained actual progressive themes. The fact that any progressive trad mage from the 90s would be aghast at what's become of progressivism likely won't even enter their minds.
In something like vampire it'd be possible to sidestep the issue entirely if you wanted to, but Mage is about your beliefs and values, can't avoid it.
They are going to turn the traditions into modern "witchers". You know: new age-wicca amalgamn 16 yo tiktokers love nowdays.They just don't want to admit that "woke" is now corporate, mainstream and increasingly enforced. These people have a psychological and ideological need to think they're underdogs, otherwise their entire worldview collapses. And so anything that stands in their path needs to be paved over.
You can't fight the Paradigm if you are an agent of that same Paradigm.
Surprised nobody seemed to notice that new vampire drawing was holding a bloody eviction notice. No doubt served by a probably-fascist landlord who got what was coming to him!
They already f Di I’d that when they released the revised era technocracy splatbooks that didn’t make it out of the gate. The NWO had a college of gender studies, I shit you not...Whatever they do when they make a new Mage the Ascension it's going to be terrible.

So, just exactly how "woke" is the Onyx Path crowd compared to the original White Wolf crew, and any periphery company? I ask this because I've been hanging out in the various Discord groups, trying to find any info on Werewolf 5e.
The Onyx Path group actively censors the words "Wendigo", and they remind people to now use "Younger Brother" and "Older Brother". You can probably tell the trannies who say "Younger sibling".

Is it getting that bad everywhere?
Reading through this thread right now White Wolf were annoying years before all this crap nowadays and now your telling me there is something worse?So, just exactly how "woke" is the Onyx Path crowd compared to the original White Wolf crew, and any periphery company?

Like just a general overview of the setting and game or new developments of W5?Wait, what the fuck is going on with Werewolf? I have a soft spot for WoD thanks to VtMB (that and Vampire was my first TTRPG), so anyone mind sharing more info?
So, digging around, there's a couple explanations on this. These are just the explanations I've found.The fuck is inappropriate with the word Wendigo?
I agree. Mechanically, nWoD wipes the floor with oWoD.nWoD still superior because of how moldable it is. Just mod the old clans in and wipe your hands and call it a day. The hunger system is lol because it turns vampire into a blood management strategy game. I don't know how there aren't hundreds of rampaging vamps around. It was so dumb. Yeah, feeding was an afterthought in the other systems but you don't go in the opposite direction and slam on the gad.
