I've got to say, Promethean is, in my opinion both the BEST game that White Wolf has created, and the worst to run. To me, the game is about one thousand thousand failures, and one success. Any time I run in it, everyone is so sad by the end it isn't voted to play again.
I still say that Changeling is bleaker and sadder. At least the Promethians have a way out, and they are the cause of their misery. Changelings have it much worse.
@Magnetohydrodynamics Changeling is about fear, Promethean is about hope. Promethean is far worse, in my opinion, as hope is harder to achieve than fear is to avoid.
How do you figure? They each have a different tone and feel to them. Vampire is about survival, Mage is about discovery, and Promethean is about the desire to become human. Besides, the original NWOD, and later Hunter, are about ordinary people.
simple dont like it dont play or read it very simple why read something if it makes you unhappy even more so if assume them all to be the same then stop reading!for all else lets all have big horay for the wod mmo coming our way in the next year! I know ill be representing the gangrel !!!
Why hate your creator? if you want to be human just ask HIM! he prob knows more than you.
and why moral studies to become human? that is stupid! if i act like a cat i ont become a cat! if alchemy made you than alchemy is where you should look to to change yourself to me! P.S. they HAVE changed lead to gold, it takes a particle converter, try studing PHYSICS to become human!
Do give it a try. I know there's a lot of people out there that can't even hear the name White-Wolf, but I think that even them can be pleasantly surprised by this game. It's limited edition, so the entire game line comes to the corebook, four expansion books (that you could very well do without) and a novel. If you're into Tabletop RPGs, you might actually like this one.
My ONLY, (quote me: only), complaint is that you have to be really creative to have a group RP with this, and thats one of the main purposes of nWoD . . . Otherwise, I, to, find it the best!
Promethean is on the stranger side of the World of Darkness. Its all about artifical people, like Frankenstein and such, created from a mythical substance known as the alchemists fire. The game is not as much about combat, as the search for your own soul.
my responce: this doesnt make things harder, in fact it makes it easier, a soul is by definition immaterial, very hard to change somthing you cant touch, or even know, but electrchemical processes, can be changed quite easily: a neurobiologist can help you greatly with that.
Maybe I'll join a P:tC campaign someday and play a cry-baby promethean. "I want to be a human! I want to have a soul! WAAAAHHHH!" There'll be large puddles of my tears all over the place; all characters/creatures around might have to make appropriate rolls or slip and land on their butts because of the puddles.
Doesn't seem to have been all that successful compared to the others.

geez, if you were a promethean you'd certainly be from the mercurius refinement :P

If alchemy made you a promethean, acomplishing the impossible, then alchemy could probably make you a human!
PS does anyone notice the simularities to KINDRED OF THE EAST here?
REFINEMENTS are basically DHARMAS here!

Promethean is by far the bast game in the World of darkness line. its deep, dark, powerful, evoquing, sad, self discovering and pure emotional.
I love this game.

I would tell a promethean that there is no such thing as a soul, that what keeps us alive are just electrochemical processes,
Maybe that could enlighten him. HMM...

"NO! NO! I WON'T ACCEPT THAT!" screams the promethean. (Bashes up Paradoxical003.) :D
