I know you've pointed out it kind of defeats the purpose of the way the Kuei-Jin are written but I really do like how Kalliyan in the mod is like "yeah I OD'ed next to this thot and I came back as the thot"

Yeah it's a uniquely guilt-inducing idea, it's very true to the whole idea that Kuei-jin exist because of karma and ironic punishment and whatnot (as opposed to Kindred just being a kind of infection)

Also a very Fictionmania kind of thing

Honestly the whole cod-Orientalism of Kuei-jin is less interesting to me than that they exist to fully cover the bases of *Western* vampires Like the idea of the Clans is to give you a way to play every different "kind of vampire", sure

But the whole basic nature of the setting is that it mandates a specific, fairly modern origin story for vampirism (something you're turned into by infection) and not the much older idea that vampires rise from the grave due to their unreconciled sins

Honestly I kinda feel like this is a huge problem with almost ALL the splats of the WoD, you know? In a lot of cases it's attempting to take a fairly specific archetype and create an entire autonomous diverse world out of it.

Vampire is the one that's most like this because it's a really cool and iconic idea The thing about the other gamelines is they actually get a lot less iconic and a lot weirder pretty quickly Like Werewolves don't even occur by being bitten, that's just discarded

Yeah but the thing is that werewolves are also really kinda boring. Like all the *weird* bits around werewolves in both forms of the WoD have, it feels to me, very little to do with the central aesthetic motif of turns-into-furry, bc it's...not a very flexible one.

Like I've said before I personally would do werewolves almost totally differently than in the WoD, but if you're going to make a whole *theme* out of them I'd personally go with broadening it into Jekyll/Hyde duality and repressed or inverted selves in *general*.

The Room of Renunciation in Unknown Armies ftw

Like yeah, make the alterna-self-as-animal-monster one archetype. But make others different sorts of alterna-selves rather than trying to make a billion different weird takes on "terror-furry"
