I think the canonical way that the ttrpg squares the circle of needing to let players play "vegetarian" vampires" if they want to, but also not wanting to have industrial scale sewer rat farming be a thing is that both of the main vampire religions of the setting thinking that doing so would be beneath them. Milliage varies as to how well they're able to pull it off.

I recognize that this is to some degree a byproduct of the mechanical conventions of VTM bloodlines flattening a lot of logistical concerns that could be given more room to breathe in a tabletop campaign or novel or whatever, but if nothing else the ubiquity of the sewer rats makes me raise an eyebrow at the idea that vampirism is this utterly unmanageable moral burden to which you are doomed to succumb. You People Are Surrounded By Free Rats, you collectively sound like the people who can't even boycott Chick Fil-a

tfw "popular" fanon becomes so embedded in a fandom & discussions within fandom spaces that people just start treating it as the default and all interactions with others are coloured by this interpretation. have you considered that I actually don't subscribe to this take, which is nowhere in the source material? wait nvm, clearly not.

The thing about LA is that it has a lot of influential cultural output given Hollywood but the city itself has very little cultural imprint. Like you have The Hollywood Sign, it has bad traffic and um I’m genuinely struggling to think of a third thing

Just a nothing of a city tbh

Vincent Baker, the creator of Apocalypse World, had a saying that the point of having rules is to force you to tell a story that you would not otherwise have told.

It's not possible for mechanics to "get in the way of the story" in a TTRPG. Whatever outcome the mechanics natively produce *is* the story. There can be a mismatch between the story you want the game to produce and the story the mechanics naturally gravitate towards producing, in which case you should consider playing a different game that actually wants to produce the story you want to experience, but "mechanics getting in the way of the story" is not a thing.

The company that I work for rented out a hotel to hold a conference with important clients. Most of the meetings are in one of several conference rooms, but our internal work room is in the Executive Board Room.

More than the body horror, the mind rape disturbs me most when I think about the "wretch."
