我发现时已经晚了起码一周

Description:


I was an angel.

I wasn’t an angel of vengeance, or an angel of mercy, or even an angel of death. I was an angel of the Machine. I came to Earth wrapped in a Cover that the Machine provided, and I served. Service didn’t make me happy, but it made me what I was. An angel.

But then I stopped serving. Why? It’s complicated. You were involved. That’s all I’ll say for now.

I stopped serving, and when I did, I Fell. And what does that make me?

This Quickstart contains all you need to experience a one session game of Demon: The Descent, including a primer on the World of Darkness rules, four characters ready to pick up and play, and a complete scenario, Honey and Vinegar.

拷到手机里今晚睡前看……

这QS比之前漏出的只言片语更令人惊奇

上帝是一台机器，而天使则是工具，傀儡，仿生机器。单纯从机器而言，如果给背景加一个时间机器要素，那就会有点像是天网，如果加一个虚拟实境，那就会像是黑客帝国。其他还有非常多的类推，关键词为外星人，有序，冰冷，精算
这台机器设置了许多规则，譬如天使可以飞，当它们有了自我意识后，它们也就成了他们，然后天使就失去飞行能力，BIAJI一声掉在地上，变成了堕天使，也就是恶魔。

有的恶魔很高兴终于不用在大机器里累死累活的做螺丝了，他们寻找地狱（宁在地狱为王，也不在天堂为奴）；有的监听上帝机器的计划，寻机破坏；有的只是掩藏自己，躲避天使的追杀；有的想重新得到上帝的恩典（被送回去格式化么，这倒不是一定的）；最莽撞的试图营救/召集其他恶魔，人类盟友，反攻天堂。

QS除了basic中基本的说明外，还有恶魔特殊的部分（类似其他本子）

Embed and Exploits

天使在堕落前，是可以使用很多【嵌入】法则的，这些都是客观存在的硬代码，譬如能飞……在这书中，上帝依然无所不能，譬如他想在下面公干时也能用电话，就会排个天使下去，事就这样成了；他想在某地区度假时也能高速下载小电影，就会排个天使下去，事就这样成了；他想坐飞机来去，就会排个天使下去，事也就这样成了。区区天使会飞不在话下。
天使堕落成恶魔后，他们暂时会失去相关能力，而需要重新学习

而Exploits则更像是程式应用的【漏洞】，如果说嵌入是由单子构成的句子的话，漏洞很可能是爆粗口，通常也能起作用，但也会受到关注（从而遭受到殴打）。漏洞需要有嵌入知识才能更好的使用（滚出去和圆润的团作一团，就是看使用者语文好坏与否的一个硬性评判指标）

这两个用词暂时没有想到好的对应翻译，不过问题不大，反正知道和不知道都是一样的

今天又抽空看了一部分，看到两个范例人物，一个建筑师，一个音乐家街头艺人
QS当然不可能把所有东西都放出来给你看啦，不然出正式版谁会去买？这只是个DEMO而已，不过从目前看到的部分已经能看出很多东西了，譬如：
@恶魔是会被火烧死的，且很容易被火烧死，其凄惨程度比吸血鬼要好一点点？
@所有恶魔都过目不忘（因为他们有量子脑），说谎不用打草稿（类环境作用，我了个去真牛逼）
@作为叛逃人员，恶魔时刻都要躲避上帝他老人家的追杀，除非他不想活过几周了
@这本书写的很贴近时代，甚至有点超前，不愧是时代的眼泪（这样用法没事么……），但是有几个词重了啊，譬如COVER，敢用文学点的么，我随便都能扯半打更赞的

Glitches，恶魔在凡间掩饰自己，有时也会【出错】，投骰不过，主持就会让玩家选择是Brands还是Tells

这……真心话大冒险？我要KUSO的翻会被认为是在搞怪，我要认真的翻更会被认作是在搞怪，这说明没法做了！*掀桌*

A message from White Wolf via DriveThruRPG.com. (stop receiving White Wolf messages.) Why did I get this email?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Angels are everywhere. They are under the everyday world, behind it, beyond it. They are sent by the God-Machine to enact its will through time and space, delivering messages, building infrastructure, protecting some people, killing others. And you were one of those angels...

But not anymore.

In Demon: The Descent, you play one of the fallen agents of the God-Machine, a former angel who defected to the human race. Now you are Unchained, and search for a place that you can be free, all the while avoiding the notice of the still-loyal agents. You cannot go back to the shining, sterile Heaven.

All you can do is reign in Hell.

Demon: The Descent was created by Rose Bailey and co-developed with Matthew McFarland, and is inspired by classic spy thrillers and gnostic mysticism. It ties back into the mythology of the God-Machine first hinted at in the World of Darkness core book and expanded in the recent and popular God-Machine Chronicle. Demon: The Descent requires the World of Darkness core rulebook to play, but does not require the God Machine Chronicle.

Demon: The Descent is the ninth game in the new World of Darkness, and the first new game to be written with the God-Machine Chronicle’s rules revision. It includes new information on the God-Machine and its activities, complete rules for playing and running Demon chronicles, a detailed setting in the city of Seattle, and a complete adventure written in the Storytelling Adventure System, entitled How an Angel Dies.
