I have a family member who served on Pursuer D73 and it was only near the end of his life when he started telling us things about his time on that ship. I would like to know everything possible about it if anyone has any knowledge please. He mentioned about being torpedoed and ending up in the water in the Arctic Circle- you only had 5 minutes tops to get out of the water before you died. He did the Atlantic convoys and apparently the Murmansk convoys too where there were hailstones the size of a man's fist. He mentioned going to Africa and Norway. I know now that Pursuer was instrumental in firing upon the Tirpitz.
TL;DR: I'd like to know anything about HMS Pursuer D73. Thank you!
My Malkavian in our cyberpunk-ish world is a detective! A young sleuth just out of highschool. He was turned by a Malkavian who seeks to cause absolute chaos and now the only thing keeping him alive is the fact that the prince would spare him if he found this troublesome sire.
My ST allowed me to redo some things but I'm curious what I should do. There's a ton of abilities but it seems I'll only be able to take a max of 5 per discipline, which is an issue for some of them.
Auspex is what makes the detective, his bread and butter. It gives him an edge that others won't have.
Obfuscate allows him to be an action detective, slipping into places he's not supposed to be.
Dominate can be fantastic for interrogation or anything involving people really, whether it be to erase someone's memories of the past minute where he got caught sneaking somewhere or getting a person to unlock a door for him.
Let me get you in my thoughts of the vast abilities I crave and my issues with missing out on some.
AUSPEX LEVEL 1 •HEIGHTENED SENSES Duh! This is a no brainer! It's a straight buff to my detective skills! My wits as a 4, investigate 3, and auspex 3, nothing is getting by me!
•SENSE THE UNSEEN Oh! The ability to see things the make eye cannot! Perfect for pesky sneaky types that try to a slick escape it's- oh...level 1. Which means I have a choice to make. Yikes
LEVEL 2 •PREMONITION Kickass! Awesome for the Malkavian tinge! A rush of visions that get me closer to the truth! It's so cool!
LEVEL 3 •SCRY THE SOUL Aha! Great for getting basic info and advanced info based on context! I can tell if you're secretly panicked, angry, elated, or even if you've committed Diablerie! Without even saying a word! I get so much personal info with this! Awesome!
•SHARE THE SENSES Eh. Not my deal. It's cool but doesn't fit my detective feel I don't think. Not here at least.
LEVEL 4 •SPIRIT TOUCH I can sense emotional residue from objects or places? Such as murder scenes or weapons? C'mon that's a must have!
LEVEL 5 •CLAIRVOYANCE Connect with the environment to gather info? I could just sit in a coffee shop, close my eyes, and scan the whole ass block?! That's a definite pick!
•POSSESSION Oh. Hell. Yes. Instant idea on how this is useful! Crime scene ahead, I can gather clues in stealth sure but I can't inspect the body with all these people around. Plus I wanna talk to some of these witnesses and cops! Oh! I'll possess a police detective and do my work in his shoes!

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Ed just provided a lore bomb on "young rapscallions and poseurs who're giving the Deep trouble circa 1497-99 DR" nobles on his Twitter, which may or may not be useful for your game.
The tweets are broken up into different threads, so here are the links to find each of them (hopefully in order):

Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
On 9 April 1940, with the Invasion of Norway underway, the German battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau under Admiral Lujtens were spotted by the forces of Admiral Whitworth, consisting of 9 destroyers and the battlecruiser HMS Renown.
What happened in reality was that it was a short engagement, the Germans running away from the British, both receiving a few hit from each other and further damage from the heavy seas before the Germans were able to use their lead and slightly superior speed to lose their pursuers. It was a tactical British victory, driving off and damaging two capital ships with one of their own, but it also was more of a strategic German victory with Whitworth's forces then being unable to interfere with what was then happening in Norway as quickly.
But this turn of events leads open to the question: What would have happened if the Germans had more properly engaged?
They have the superior force in many ways, two capital ships individually while inferior in main gun armament having more guns, greater speed, heavier armour, and of course their being two of them. The British on the other hand have larger guns as well as the destroyers, which while not faring the best in the high seas, are numerous and do have torpedoes that could be very deadly.
One thing that could be significant is when the engagement starts: Is there a run first before something happens for Lujtens to decide to turn back, like when Renown put Gneisenau's aft turret out of action? Or would it be immediate?
Some other things that could be kept in mind:
- The British misidentified the Germans as a Scharnhorst class and a Hipper class, probably a main reason for her willingness to engage (at least according to the war diary I have seen online)
- Similarly, the Germans thought the destroyers larger vessels, but in an alternate engagement this might not be the case
- While gunnery wasn't the best at these long ranges and heavy seas, the capital ships were all very accurate ships
- Both hits made on Renown by the 11" guns failed to explode, quite possibly showing an issue with this type of shell at this time
- Renown's 4.5" were blazing away throughout the engagement (but don't seem to have made any hits at the long range), so if range closes they could be a factor in causing damage. I don't believe the German 4" and 6" were firing, and if the Battle of the North Cape can be used to infer then they likely wouldn't be except at incoming destroyers
I have my own ideas,
