I've seen you talk about many of the CWoD books, but what are your thoughts on Beast?

I really liked reading that book, and I especially enjoyed how it incorporated other supernatural races into the Beasts domain.

I'd love to hear what you think.

I mean, my thoughts on Beast are, of course, kind of twisted up in the facts of its real-world lead developer, and the grossness of all that. I don’t know that I want to recount that all here, but suffice it to say, it’s hard for me to enjoy the game in light of the abuses of the head writer.

That isn’t to say that you or others who enjoy it are doing anything wrong— I really want to stress that I don’t believe that, I think that if people enjoy Beast: The Primordial then they’re getting good out of it and that’s worth celebrating— but for me I just couldn’t get there.

That said, I do like the “mythic monsters” vibe of Beast, and how it adds elements of tragic storytelling to the story. There’s a kind of grandeur to the terrifying creatures of horror, to gargantuan serpents and ferocious dragons, something I feel provokes respect and awe as much as it provokes fear.

And there’s a sorrow to that, as well. As much as you find yourself impressed by monsters like that, they don’t fit in the world, or at least, it’s hard to imagine how something so horrible could find a place among our world. So they are hunted, and they are the villains, but that isn’t like, a happy fact. The monster doesn’t want to be a monster, and perhaps the Hero doesn’t want to be a Hero (or at least shouldn’t be). But so the cycle goes.

That’s what works about Beast for me, and I’d love like, a 2E that dives into those elements. They’re already there in the corebook, and that was the part that worked for me. To play a creature of legend, one that is doomed to a grim fate, and taking the world down with it… I could love that game quite a bit. I just think it as it is Beast gets stuck on trying to make the Begotten relatable and personally sympathetic, and regardless of the baggage there, I’m not sure that’s the right direction.

As for the family relation element of Beasts being kin with other monsters (except demons) I feel… mixed. I like the idea of a type of monster that is so ancient it sees family in all the others, but I feel that trying to connect every other supernatural to Beasts, especially retroactively, feels forced and kind of weird. Again, it’s the kind of thing I’d like tweaked a little, if Beast somehow got a second edition.

All that said, I hope I didn’t come across as too harsh on Beast, I really don’t want to discourage you from enjoying the game just cause it isn’t to my tastes. I know I’m normally very positive on WoD and CofD, but don’t take my more ambivalent feelings as anything other than one guy’s opinion. If it fits into your enjoyment of the setting, then it should stay there.

What are your guys' thoughts on the Beast the Primordial rewrite?

I'm specifically talking about (https://www.reddit.com/r/WhiteWolfRPG/comments/spkqwr/an_attempt_to_remake_beast_homebrew/) By (Gaius-Pious) who you should go upvote by the way. Note I've never read the original beast and I never plan on reading it but i've read some things related to it and a bit on what happened with the creator and I was quite appalled. I've been liking the rewrite and have been thinking about adding characters to my collection based on this rewrite and wanted to know what other people thought of it.
