So as the title says, what's the thematic and tone differences between Curseborne and World/Chronicles of Darkness?

To summarise my experience with WoD and CoD; I'm not super invested in them but I know a lot of people who are and I have flicked through the Tvtropes pafe to try and better understand it, I've also played in a Werewolf the Forsaken campaign that had several different splat (mummy, vampire, changling and a mage(as a treat)). I know roughly what each splat's deal is and the general theme differences between WoD and CoD (WoD is darker and more focused on meta-plot, CoD is (relatively) lighter and less world defining meta plots). As a general rule I'm more of an Exalted fan than WoD/CoD.

The main thing I'm aware of in Curseborne is there is a lot more inter-splat interaction but that's most of my knowledge on the game.

Anyone know of any Curseborne podcasts that have popped up? Ideally discussion and analysis type podcasts but if there are AP ones I supposed you might as well post about them as well.

High I played the old one and am getting my Nephews into the game as well. I am reading through the Scion 2e books and I find them quite fun so far. One of the things I would like to explore is remaking this pantheon as well as a Hallmark Pantheon.

The original Pantheon has:

Betsy Ross

Br'er Rabbit

Columbia

John Henry

Johnny Appleseed

Paul Bunyan

Pecos Bill

Rosie the Riveter

Uncle Sam

But I want to expand it to include more Gods and Demigods. I am going out on a limb and Say most Presidents and Medal of Honor recipients probably get a small taste of the ichor so here are my top Picks:

The Founding Fathers: A multi headed God made of stone that looks similar to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin.

The Abolitionist: A dark skinned mixture of Abraham Lincoln and Harriet Tubman that represents the freeing of the slave.

Teddy: A Bear with the Face of Theodore Roosevelt that represents exploration of that age

FDR: A God of the New Deal mixing innovation and civility

Audie Murphy: A Soldier of highest honors that is both hero and legend.

Chesty Puller: The ideal Marine

John Paul Jones: Navy Leader

Samuel Culper: American Father of Spys

I also have no clue where to even start with their Pantheon specific Purview. I guess using the Assembly line as an innate ability works but the boons don't translate as well.

Has anyone else tried to translate this pantheon, have comments to add or take from what I said, or know where I can find a good supplement?

Curseborne backed with 3,017 backers. I'm curious to see who backed it but haven't played it yet and why.

I know a few people who backed that are just waiting on the physical traditional print to arrive. One of my players recently got her Print on Demand version which made me jealous 😅.

My best guesses for why people might not be playing even though they backed are:

* Backed it out of curiosity, but didn't get into it as much as they thought.

* Waiting on the physical book to arrive.

* Can't find players.

* Can't find a GM willing to run it.

* Currently running something else, but you'll play it when you can.

Any other reasons?

I'm coming up with a list of Rituals to make.

A few I can think of:

* SHALLOW Hal - Cursed to see only people's inner beauty.

* What Women Want - Guy is cursed to hear the thoughts of women.

* Freaky Friday - Cursed to body swap.

* Ted - Inanimate object brought to life.

* Stranger than Fiction - Cursed to hear your life's narrator.

* 13 going on 30/Big - Cursed to experience life as your older self.

* JUMANJI - Cursed board game.

* Child's Play/Talking Tina - Cursed doll.

* Oculus - Cursed Mirror.

Has anyone gotten one of these from OP's Redbubble store?
Most of their other image designs seem reasonably positioned, but the graphics on the previews of these CtD ones seem oddly small.
