Leviathan: The Tempest (Tabletop Game) | comment |
Leviathan: The Tempest is a fan project for White Wolf's Chronicles of Darkness.In the beginning the world was a formless chaos called the Primordial Waters. At the heart of the sea was Tiamat, the mother of all things. Tiamat and her children, the Progenitors, ruled the Primordial Waters and were worshiped as gods by mankind. Then came Marduk to do battle with Tiamat and the Progenitors, in climatic conflict he slew them and reforged the world drawing land and sky out from the Primordial Waters. Or maybe not.Beyond sea monsters and demigods, Leviathan is a game about living in a world you are entirely unsuited for and encompasses dual themes of puberty and old age. On the one side, Leviathans must learn to cope with physical changes, new powers and responsibilities; on the other, they must cope with the fact that as a people they've been outdated since the bronze age and failed to accomplish anything.The Splats of Leviathan are as follows:The Strains: Which of the seven Progenitors you claim descent from. The Bahamutans, Spawn of Bahamut: Stereotypically mellow but this is unreliable. Noted for having the most healthy offspring and cooperative culture. They master the Vestige of Vitality and represent the vice of Sloth. The Dagonites, Spawn of Dagon: Dagonites are the most fertile but least healthy bloodline of the Tribe and usually lead the largest Cults. They master the Vestige of Fecundity and represent the vice of Pride. The Lahamin, Spawn of Lahamu: Known to be secretive and possess seemingly unlimited knowledge but are also surprisingly capable in a straight up fight. They master the Vestige of Awareness and represent the vice of Envy. The Nu, Spawn of Nu: Claiming descent from the oldest Progenitor, the Nu boast unrivaled connection to the elements. They are expected to be introspective and mystical. They master the Vestige of Elements and represent the vice of Gluttony. The Oceanids, Spawn of Oceanus: An Oceanid is a true predator, both socially and often physically. They are legendary for their dominance over the minds of men. They master the Vestige of Sanctity and represent the vice of Lust. The Tanninim, Spawn of Tannin: The Tanninim take upon themselves the mantle of judges, mostly judging the tribe's enemies. From their ranks come the Tribe's foremost warriors. They master the Vestige of Predation and represent the vice of Wrath. The Thalassans, Spawn of Thalassa: Stereotyped to be well adapted for both the land and the sea and, more metaphorically, life with normal humans, which puts a lot of pressure on them. They master the Vestige of Might and represent the vice of Greed.The Schools: Your way of coping with the stress of everyday life. The School of the Abyss seeks to retreat from the world and find a place they can truly be at peace, even if that place is only a state of mind. They are the foremost experts on the Rift. The School of the Sun seeks to reclaim the role of spiritual leaders Leviathans once held amongst mankind and in turn worship the Progenitors. The School of Clay believe that The Tribe hasn't made much progress but humanity has and seek to copy humanity both socially and scientifically. The School of the Reef seek an outlet for the Tribe's strength and energy by taking the fight to the Tribe's ancient enemies. The School of Fog seek answers in The Tribe itself and constantly question both their cousins and the tribe's history. The School of the Moon are constantly rebuilding their cults and reinventing themselves, believing that there exists some combination of cult and lifestyle that can perfectly satisfy all three of a Leviathan's natures. The School of the Sand seek to find technological end-runs around the problems of being a Leviathan, such as using videoconferencing and phones to allow a Leviathan to speak to her loved ones without pulling them into the Wake.They are primarily opposed by the Marduk Society, an organization of hunters formed by the immortal Sky Wizards, the disciples of Tiamat's slayer.Leviathan was originally conceived of as a pseudo-serious response to the joking suggestion of a White Wolf game for the Creature from the Black Lagoon; it has since snowballed to include numerous elements of mythology and a dose of Lovecraftian influence.The official website can be found on the RPGnetWiki, development is done on the RPGnet forums. A second edition called Leviathan: The Cult Chronicles that is compatible with the God-Machine Chronicles, as well as the other second edition gamelines, is now in development on the Onyx Path forums. | |

Empyrean Adepts can be this, or can subvert this by being fundamentalist monsters whose Lawful Evil theology is every bit as bad as the Tribe's Chaotic Evil nature. | |

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay | |
Leviathan: The Tempest (Tabletop Game) / int_15264ac9 | comment |
Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay: In the 2e writeup for the Marduk Society, it's noted that a big part of their Paper Tiger status is because of their need for secrecy. Running an organization like that is expensive and complicated at the best of times, since you need dozens of support staff for every single active field agent. You need mechanics to tend to the machines (remember, just one little missing piece and your fancy jet fighter is either a heap of junk or a deathtrap), you need engineers to build stuff, people to feed all the workers, etc. Then you add the strains of secrecy to that, which means, among other things, cutting down membership to the barest minimum possible to survive. It's a wonder that the Society can get anything done at all! | |

Big, Screwed-Up Family | |
Leviathan: The Tempest (Tabletop Game) / int_154aa477 | comment |
Big, Screwed-Up Family: All Leviathans are one very screwed up distant family and each Splat has details of the inevitably dysfunctional dynamics they tend to create with their mortal family. For the Tribe Bahamutans are known to have healthy and supportive families. Dagonite families are the least healthy physically and socially, mired in Cult like traditions and ruled with an iron fist. The Lahamin are cursed with stillbirths and high infant mortality, this might explain why they don't get attached to their children. The family tree surrounding a Nu tends to show lots of dead ends, either from physical hardships or social dynamics. Oceanids take pride in their families and set up social dynamics to keep the bloodline healthy. The Tanninim apply their mantle as judges to their own family, often this leaves them as strict self policing groups long after they've forgotten why they ever needed to be. Thalassans have healthy families or large families but never both. They expect great things from their descendants and don't leave it to chance. | |

Walking Wasteland: On the spiritual/psychic level, all Leviathans count as this. It's not exactly clear what happens when they cross paths with Prometheans, but from the author's comments on how the "Primordial Water" and the "Divine Fire" don't mix well... it can't be anything good for anyone nearby. | |

Man Behind the Man: The Old Men of Marduk, a group of Evil Sorcerers who were running the Marduk Society in the game's first edition. Far more cynical and self-serving than their idealistic patrons, they were secretly harvesting Leviathan flesh for immortality. The Society was just starting to realise this inner corruption and trying to come to terms with it. In 2e, the "coming rebellion" has basically happened already, several years ago, and now the Society is picking up the pieces. | |

Leviathan: The Tempest (Tabletop Game) / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: In second edition, contacting a Leviathan's mind can potentially drive whoever was stupid enough to do so insane. Watered down their ichors may be, but Leviathans are still antediluvian deities; man was not meant to walk amongst their thoughts. Primordial Theurgists work magic by stealing theo-psionic energy from Leviathans. Sometimes, these "prayers" actually attract the attention of the "Old God" that the human mystics have been stealing power from. It rarely goes well for the human when that happens. | |

Power at a Price | |
Leviathan: The Tempest (Tabletop Game) / int_1ebbdddb | comment |
Power at a Price: It's pretty much the defining attribute of the setting: All power from the Tribe comes at a price. Leviathans have great power but must contend with a tempestuous mind, wicked drives, and an aura that causes madness in all around them. Hybrids have less power, but the genetics that might give them strength and gills might also give them Down's Syndrome. Primordial Theurgists need to intentionally expose themselves to a Leviathan's maddening aura to gain power and risk the hostile attention of the Leviathan they are trying to steal power from. Ahabs have Power Born of Madness, with emphasis placed on the "insanity" side of the equation. | |

Voluntary Shapeshifting: A standard power of Leviathans who have seven forms in a line from human to full sea-monster. The more human a Leviathan is, the less of their abilities they can use. Evil Makes You Ugly: As your Tranquillity decreases, Leviathans' shapeshifting acquires unsightly Afflictions. Hulking Out: Be warned, they can transform spontaneously if overly stressed. | |

Leviathan: The Tempest (Tabletop Game) / int_2064626a | comment |
Villains Act, Heroes React: Invoked with the Marduk Society in 2e; standard operating procedure s to patiently watch and wait, studying for the social waves caused by a Leviathan's presence before going in to try and take it down. This galls them, but it's less dangerous to the agents and to innocent bystanders than just running around guns-blazing... not that they have the option to do that anyway. | |

Good Is Not Nice | |
Leviathan: The Tempest (Tabletop Game) / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good is Not Nice: Empyreal Theurgists draw their power from Virtue and sincere belief in a patron god. Not only does that not make them "nice guys" by nature, but even the gods they worship aren't necessarily much better than the Tribe. As their chapter admits, not every Empyreal Theurgist is a progressive liberal type. | |

Kryptonite Factor: Leviathans have two: Electricity does Aggravated Damage to Leviathans and wards can be created out of Virtue. Both work on symbolism, reflecting how humanity has grown since the era of Tiamat — electricity symbolizes the fact that we've harnessed the most awesome of primal forces for our technology, and Virtue wards symbolize dominion over the id and our bestial ancestors. | |

Needless to say, the Nu find this very frustrating. | |

As the Good Book Says...: Each Strain opens with a quote from the Old Testament showing the ancient Israelites acting like that Strain's cultists. These quotes are neutral at best and at worst they show some outright evil behaviour. Empyrean Theurgists also get a biblical quote, where God himself is at his very best. | |

More Dakka: It was the development of guns that really cemented humanity's superiority to Leviathans. Up until guns came along, the best hope humans had were either champions with powerful magical blessings out the wazoo, or to try and Zerg Rush the Leviathan and pray that they had enough people to inflict the Death of a Thousand Cuts before they all wound up squashed, eaten or Mind Raped. Nowadays, a National Guard battalion has firepower that can level the equivalent of Innsmouth without risking their sanity and drive off or kill the Leviathan in charge. | |

Glass Cannon | |
Leviathan: The Tempest (Tabletop Game) / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Glass Cannon: Leviathans, in contrast to most other denizens of the New World of Darkness . Beyond some biological armor and extra health when they Hulk Out, they have pretty much no defensive mutations or powers — no Healing Factor, no Nigh-Invulnerability, nothing. Even Mages can devise spells for armor and healing, which Leviathans essentially can't. This, ironically, makes them amongst the squishiest monsters around. But they can still do massive damage to anyone unwise enough to get within reach. This remains true even when a Leviathan reaches Godzilla sizes. While a Vampire or Mage with the right spells is exceptionally tough for something human sized and made of flesh, a Godzilla like Leviathan has about the expected toughness of a skyscraper sized aquatic lizard. This means that while they can do more damage than a vampire could dream of just by stepping on someone and are immune to small arms gunfire, they still go down to an entirely mundane airstrike. | |

Person of Mass Destruction: To put it in perspective, a starting character can create a short lived hurricane or earthquake. You'd need some pretty good rolls or an existing natural disaster to work with, though. And that's just if you want to be flashy. Call of the Depths alone offers the possibility to cause massive orgies of death and destruction, as it can drive entire cities into mindless obedience to the Leviathan. High-tier characters... well, one of the examples thrown out in reference is "physically pull the moon out of orbit and eat it". | |

Adaptational Heroism: The Marduk Society got this in between 1st and 2nd edition, going from a bunch of optimistic, idealistic Science Heroes being secretly manipulated by Evil Sorcerers who were eating Leviathan flesh for immortality and possibly feeding on the misery of humanity for power to having gotten rid of those self-same sorcerers and now being a pure and unambiguous force for good. A shame that they're also now struggling to get the old network back online, have lost at least half their numbers, and, of course, are trying to be heroes in the World of Darkness... | |

Sufficiently Analyzed Magic | |
Leviathan: The Tempest (Tabletop Game) / int_41d8a845 | comment |
Sufficiently Analyzed Magic: The Nu can't become true Leviathans without at least trying this. They don't develop their Tribal instincts unless and until they try to figure out what's going on with them and what they can do, though given that every time they touch water things start getting screwy, it's unlikely that any reasonably curious human won't eventually try this. The exceptions don't live long. | |

Become a Real Boy: This is a really dumb idea unless you're an early-stage Thalassan. The latter can reject being a Leviathan by surviving their stormy awakening through dependence on another person rather than their own strength. Anyone else who rejects their monstrous nature becomes human, but purging their bestial and divine natures destroys their mind. | |

Even if not the Tribe are really fast at reproducing and can even create short lived monstrous children in the middle of combat to assist them. In the second edition a Leviathan near the peak of their power can create a hundred short lived minions in three seconds, and nothing stops them using it repeatedly to create an entire swarm. | |

Mythology Upgrade: The Progenitors have been upgraded from a rather diverse bunchnote To give a very rough summary: None have strong associations with evolution. Nu personified primordial chaos and water, Oceanus and Thalassa personified water, Lahamu was primordial and personified the sea bed. Tannan, Bahamut and Dagon are not primordial, personified water or chaos being a Demon, mythological beast and fertility god but all three were associated with water. into personifications of primordial chaos, water and evolution. Averted with Tiamat who was always like that. | |

Bad Powers, Good People: In legend Marduk's magic used despair as a power source. This was supposed to let him draw on humanity's strength when he was needed most. Unfortunately his Disciples are rumored to making perfectly sure there's plenty of despair going around. Skipping the rumored part entirely in 2e; the Marduk Society was founded when Marduk's disciples murdered him rather than see him spread hope around the world, and thusly weaken their power. | |

Black-and-Gray Morality | |
Leviathan: The Tempest (Tabletop Game) / int_8767b1f3 | comment |
Black-and-Gray Morality: As is standard for a Chronicles of Darkness setting, though with Gray-and-Grey Morality and A Lighter Shade of Gray inherent in the setting. On the Black side, you have: Typhons (Leviathans who have lost all sense of humanity and become mindless beasts) and Leviathans who haven't gone that far, but still abuse their powers and positions to revel in their own sense of divinity. On the Gray side, you have: most Leviathans, who even if they try to be nice, have powerful instincts and emotions, a literally inhuman mindset, and Mind Rape people around them whether they want to or not. You also have the Primordial Theurgists, crazed wizards who try to steal theo-psionic energies from Leviathans in order to fuel their own magic — and they can easily be Black instead, since the kind of person willing to do something like that often isn't very moral even before their sanity starts breaking under the strain of trying to channel Leviathan mojo. And on the Light Gray side, you have: the Marduk Society in its modern format (pre-Civil War is more Gray), and you have Empyrean Theurgists (mystics who convert Virtue into a source of magical power). Leviathans vs. Marduk or Empyreal Theurgists can easily shift into White-and-Grey Morality or even Black-and-White Morality, if you're not careful. The former is closer to the official intent than the latter, though. | |

Mind Rape: Spending enough time near a Leviathan can cause Mind Rape, even if the Leviatahn genuinely doesn't want to. When they are actually trying a Leviathan can inflict severe derangements in seconds. Just looking at a Leviathan in Apotheosis will exasperate existing derangements. Leviathans are not good for sanity. | |

Paper Tiger: The Marduk Society in 2e. Yes, they do have jet fighters and a space-station with an orbital battle cannon. On the other hand, their infrastructure is shot to hell as a result of their recent civil war, they can't get too direct with their gear for a couple of reasons ranging from the pragmatic (they don't want to give away their existence) to the idealistic (kill-sats are messy and imprecise, and civilian casualties are not acceptable), their numbers weren't that great before they had their bloody self-purging, and that's just the problems that've been made explicit so far. Theoretically, the Tribe could wipe the Society out... if they could just figure out how to get to that damn space station of theirs... | |

Leviathan: The Tempest (Tabletop Game) / int_97d97c28 | comment |
Revenge Before Reason: Played with. Leviathans indeed will put everything aside to destroy another Leviathan who has crossed the line, but they wouldn't frame it as "revenge." It's a Bestial reaction that's most often triggered when the Leviathan in question is driven into a corner. | |

Seven Deadly Sins: Each Strain is traditionally associated with one of the seven deadly sins, a Merit increase a Leviathan's connection to it's Strain's sin up to the point where the Virtue and Vice mechanics switch places. This may be a reference to Leviathan being the Demon Prince of Envy. | |

Half-Human Hybrid | |
Leviathan: The Tempest (Tabletop Game) / int_a2cbad1 | comment |
Half-Human Hybrid: Leviathans and Hybrids do have some human genetic material in their bloodline. Leviathans are born when the genes line up just right, fully awakening the unique combination of divine horror and antediluvian Sea Monsters that lurk within their blood; their humanity is more... questionable. Hybrids, even if their bestial genes dominant their appearance, are functionally more human than even the most humane Leviathan — the Leviathans are God/Monster fusions with traces of human, Hybrids are Human/Monster fusions with a trace of god. | |

Physical God: Zigzagged. Leviathans are partly divine through their very lineage, and have immense powers (especially at the peak of Sheol), but equal emphasis is placed on the physical part of the equation. Thusly, Leviathans can be hurt or even killed, just like humans. It's just not easy unless you're packing superscience devices or backed by a whole army. | |

Good Is Impotent: Zigzagged with Marduk in 2e; they can definitely do a lot of damage when they can bring their might to bear. The problem is that they have a lot of trouble doing so in the first place, and the brutal, bloody purge they recently underwent has made it even harder for them to organize themselves. | |

Science Hero: The Marduk Society's endowment is actually called Superscience and looks like 1970's sci-fi specifically because they identify with the hope inherent in old sci-fi. More generally scientific methods tend to be pretty effective at fighting or cleaning up after Leviathans; one theory even says their vulnerability to electricity exists because electricity symbolises man's power of reason. | |

However, they're distinctly kaiju of the original school, meaning they're big, strong and destructive, but hardly Nigh-Invulnerable. The barrage of National Guard fire that Godzilla shrugs off would be enough to severely hurt, maybe even kill a Leviathan. | |

Tragic Monster: The first edition frequently mentioned Leviathans' inability to live a moral life and their quest to find self-acceptance and some way of minimizing the harm they cause.

Beware the Nice Ones: Bahamutans are said to be calmer than the other Strains and see a need to protect their mortal followers. Nu are (unreliably) stereotyped as introspective and mystical. Yet when angry Bahamutans hit the apocalyptic end of the scale while the Nu are often the most alien Leviathans and their mastery of Elements holds the most destructive powers in the game. | |
