    It is very strange that the Sabbat and Pentex have become allies, given what each of them is striving for. The Sabbat, with all its immoral and monstrous methods, still strive to stop Gehenna, which is a good goal, while the Pentex are trying to achieve something much worse than Gehenna. Perhaps it all started with the fact that vampires generally do not have much love for werewolves, while they did not even have a clue about what abomination they decided to do business with. Well, those of them who have advanced higher in the corporation may have had a clue, but I don't think they can be considered loyal members of the Sabbat. Oh, if only the whole sect could see the true face of Pentex and the fate to which it wants to doom the world. Oh... I would love to see this carnage.

      The Baali would be better working for Pentex. They have always been about waking up the horrors beneath. And the Wyrm may be the biggest along side Grandma. The Sabbat do tearable things but worshiping demon is a sin as you are making yourself a thrall.

    I played World of Darkness 1st Edition back in the day, and I always wondered why it was never mentioned that The Technocracy (from "Mage") was not interested, and actively opposing, the machinations of Pentex.
    To them this would be a Megacorporation run by Nephandi (I think they were called, essentially 'Cthulhu Cultist' ^_^), and thus working against the Technocracy goal of taking control of reality as they saw fit.
    Still, the corporation was a good BBEG to send my Werewolf pack players against when I needed a 'quickie' bad guy ^_^

    • @TheMapleTable
      @TheMapleTable  2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      There was a lot of revisions between 1st edition and 20th anniversary edition. Though it easy to incorporate them into adventures. My storyteller used pentex with no explanation as to what it was and none of us could figure out what to do with the wyrm tainted manufacturing plant we were in.

    • @BlackIce3190
      @BlackIce3190 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Indeed, mostly because supernaturals just cannot stop pissing off humans, or fighting eachother. If the Garou ever got their act together enough to try to play ball with, say, the Technocracy, they could end the threats of Pentex in a couple of months, maybe a year.

    You know what would be real fun? If a bunch of Devil Tiger Kuei-Jin ever got a whiff of just how rife with sin and degeneracy Pentex is. Can you imagine how much they could fuck with a local Pentex branch? They can pass for human, have all sorts of weird powers that many Pentex goons are simply not trained to deal with, and most importantly, not only are immune to Bane possession, but can command and control Banes and Fomori themselves. Shit, they can MAKE fomori.

    Love learning Pentax lore. Hope more people keep making videos. I’ve often wondered if there is a neutral version of Pentex? There are all sorts of types of people throughout TWoD, for instance is there a faction that wants to fix the Wyrm?
