Neph kid

to be a kid (not decided his age et, or if he's a kid or just assumes
that form for that matter), but I'm not sure how to do this, it'll be to
start a new chronicle. I was thinking chantry leader tells PCs to go
and find out what the hell is wrong with neighbourhood
kids...suggestions?

Your on the right track... ever see the movie "the good son?" the nephy
would be corrupting the kids.. in very subtle ways... ever read the book
"needful things"?
An example would be "hey timmy... wanna see something neat? I found this bee
hive... " and some how this bee hive through "a harmless joke" gets put into
a shed where some allergic adult is....
Or the kid... breaks into some woman's house... raids her panty drawer and
then puts it where it will be found where someone else's wife will find it..
WHAM heading for divorce...
Spread the corruption like that with the nephy punk in the center, never
really doing anything himself.. just using other kids... maybe "if ya wanna
play with my transformer" this of course would be damned hard for the
players to track... and keep the nephy well hid. A nephy would almost never
go into a direct "fireball tossing" exchange with the good guys.. he would
hide behind his "friends" forcing the traddies to whack the kids to get at
him or something...
Hope that helps... if ya need stat specific questions I have the book of
madness around here with all the nephy stuff in it...

and messing with their minds to replace their memories of him doing it by false
memories of...hey, of the chantry leader doing it! That'll work, he's a
medical doctor, oh, the scandal! Interresting...what else?
Pushind kids to suicide, to murder, ooo....evil.
Maybe its a tad to sensitive for my troop, I'll have to enquire about that.
Ok, so how does messing kids up help bring the end of the universe is what I
want to know.

Well.. I don't know if you know the other WoD games.. but messing kids
up will bring the end.. :)
Just think about it.. molest a kid.. he'll be much more capable of
violent act afterward.. thus becoming much more susceptible to become a
dreaded fomori... Creatures working for the Wyrm(Evil)... and things
like that..

need.
But as for corrupting kids one by one... well there is firstly the formori
bent.. turning them into big slobbering monsters that rip up the
neighbourhood.. but again... think like the corrupter... if he let's loose a
slobbering monster to rip up the block.. what will happen?
A.) The technocrats come in and kick ass and chew bubblegum
B.) The local garou pack come in and rip everybody a new one... and chew
bubblegum. (With the possibility of scenting out the nephy for what he
really is)
C.) The local kindred get involved to protect the masq.
All in all.. it would go very badly. Now that is one good way to mess with
things, I mean a big clash like that could go city wide...
A misconception of nephies is that they work towards total obsessive
destruction of the tellurean... so does that mean they ALWAYS have to go and
build a weapon of mass destruction with the big red button for the players
to press?
Nephies can corrupt in a much more subtle way. They corrupt one kid... he
grows up... he beats his wife, beats his kids... those kids grow up.. beat
their kids... and it spreads. Try to look at it like a ripple effect, each
little bit of tain a nephy spreads will have a dominoe effect on other
things. So by corrupting an entire neighbourhood, very slowly without them
knowing.. you get a small ghetto devoted to the wyrm.
Now if you have several hundred sleepers now converted to "evil entropy"
they set up the entire area to be for one thing.. more susceptible to nephy
magick.. possible help to make a black spiral caern and best of all set up
one heck of a shield for the nephy. Can you smell the biggest lump of
something nasty admist a compost heap?
So.. take your nephy and look at a small picture.. then move outwards. Some
games can be really fun when they are based more on RP then going in guns
blazing and whacking anything that moves. You can see how just trying to
find out what is going on could take a while...
For a grand finale... ah heck throw in a nice "tree fort of doom" perhaps
working off quint drained from the suffering of the neighbourhood... sorta
like a It-X construct of slave labour... but each disfunctional family adds
to the nephies pool.. and he has made himself a nice tree fort realm.. where
you can take it from the real world to the horizon and toss in your
favourite wyrm spawn and other nasties for the players to mow down with
extreme prejudice.
Again, hope it helps

you could be convinced to run a small game in the Ft Meade
Maryland area? I'm having to admit to being impressed with your
grasp of both Wyrm and the Outer Darkness...

Sorry for the delay in reply... upgraded the computer...
As for St'ing in maryland.. sure thing.. it will require a plane ticket,
hotel bills etc. <chuckle> I am far up north... I DO however do a lot of
plots online on IRC.. actually where I learned about WOD... the dal-net rp
channels. After a few years of plot after plot... and trying to stay ahead
in an arms race of power mongering chars.. I learned and saw just about
everything someone could toss together in WOD.
If there is anyway i can help you with your own plots.. hey I probably have
the source book, have read it or ran a plot on it. It's only fair, the great
ex-akashic sam shade showed me the ropes..

Neph Kid would be a born Neph, a widderslainte, and have the Child Flaw to
boot. Foci would include chucking bricks through windows, tying tin cans to
the tails of dogs, pulling the wings off pigeons etc ...
Start it running like an anti-Nativity. Your Chantry leader's been reading
the signs. There's a major Nephandic Juncture due any day now, and the
characters have to go look for it.
They find themselves following the Red Star to this seedy old hotel, and
there's a backstreet abortionist around the back. The woman is desperate to
be rid of the thing, but it's way too late for her and the surgeon.
The characters arrive, but it's too late. One of the nurses, a Neph, has
already absconded with the baby. What's left in the clinic theatre is
indescribable.
There had to be a sacrifice to the Masters to complete the ceremony which
sees It into the world ...
Or you could set it a few years previously with the Chantry leader as a
younger man, leading a Cabal to the clinic. There's a fight. The baby gets
away. The cabal are driven insane by Neph nightmares; the Chantry leader was
in Quiet until two years ago.
And now the baby's a boy, mature beyond his years, and just stretching out
his wings ...
