So...whats with the Promethean reference? What creature? Is Count (Fucking) Dracula a Promethean?


*snerk*

Well, it's a rumour that Count Dracula created, as his childe...

*falls over laughing*

Frankenstein's Monster!  Oh, man, Dracula and the Monster.  Maybe the Wolfman is going to show up, too?  Or the Mummy?

In all seriously, you'd better hope that Verney doesn't find out about that.  Because Verney has a far better claim on that role.  And he even has the Bride (who is awesome).

How does one manage to have a Virtue rated in dots anyways?


Empyreans can do it, too.

Either a slipup or deliberate wink at V:tM where Resilience was called Fortitude (although their mechanics are quite different).

It is a rumor, but if he was, it would make the 3 dot effect of his fighting style pointless, as Prometheans don't have wound penalties anyway. Though that is possibly what causes the rumor to exist.

You could also see the reference to Brujah as another wink (although they are also a bloodline in Requiem).

While "the Count" may be related to Dracula, I'm fairly sure its not him.
I'm with you, he doesn't even have a single Coil. But this guy makes a nice Count Fucking Dracula.

I think the idea here is that he could be a Promethean if you wanted to make him one. Oddly enough, he also could have been a Promethean created by Vlad Dracula who achieved the new dawn and later became a vampire.

The Count is not a man with whom to fuck.


Also, the Count is not a violent man. He said so himself in Gangrel!

The Count is not Ordo Dracul. You want Dracula, not Count Dracula. :)

Does Game Trade Magazine count as canon? What others things are canon that are not in the printed books? I've found the Melissade write up from the author, but there is some more things like that (not only for Vampire, but for all the WOD)?

Sorry if this question is common knowledge, i don't live in an English speaking country, and i am (relatively) new to the WOD.

The World of Darkness doesn't really, really have canon. You pick the parts you like and discard the rest.

And then you repeat the entire process for your next chronicle.

So, yeah. The Game Trade Magazine's Count Dracula, written by the very same people who wrote the Count Dracula entry in Savage & Macabre: Gangrel, is as much canon as everything else.

Alright then, but can anyone point me instead to things of the WoD made by the book writers? Now i have this, the melissadae, what else is out there made by the original authors?

I am thinking that perhaps this should be question for each forums, or perhaps the general WoD.

Yes, perhaps i am unable to express myself clearly, but that is the idea. So, where can i find (if they exist) a compilation of those, or am going to need to search author page by author page (many of whom i don't even know, because i don't own all the books)

If no such compilation exists, a list of author will get me to the same result, although slower.

Fortitude = resilience for those that never played masquerade, its a leftover typo

Well Count *Fucking* Dracula has a typo. The Fucking Count's Serpent in the Belly devotion requires Animalism 3 and he's statted as having Animalism 1.

;-)


He can't actually use it, he can only teach it. This is the mojo Felix uses in Savage and Macabre.

As far as whether this is canon? I dunno. I don't so much think of the World of Darkness as having a canon, and... well, I'm one of the people who gets to decide that. But portrayals of Count Dracula in other places in the line will be largely consistent with this.

There may be some fiction to go with this piece. I have to catch up with Eddy about it when I get back to the office.
