Clanbook: Matango

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $4.99

Creeping in the moist, dank shadows of the cities and the country, the Matango are as scholarly and knowledge-obsessed as they are hideous and deformed. As hosts to a fungal parasite known as the Blood Mold, this skulking bloodline of academics and spies collect knowledge in quantities only matched by the mushrooms and mycelim that erupt from every moldered inch of their bodies.

"Not only does the book explore every possible avenue for story and character hooks, but the tone is delightful; similar to that of the Revised edition Clanbook: Nosferatu actually. It’s wry and sarcastic, spiced with popculture references such as Ghostbusters, Alice in Wonderland, and The Fly. The witty, though sometimes punny prose style makes the book to come alive in a way most other self-published books do not. One gets a genuine sense of the personality of the bloodline, as well as all its superficially funky attributes." 

--The Masquerader, Issue 2

Clanbook: Matango includes:

• The background and origins of the Matango

• Details on the bloodline’s unique Discipline: Mycoidae

• The Matango’s secretive relationship with academia

• New Merits, Flaws, and Backgrounds

Very nice.
would you ever consider expanding on this?

there are aquatic Mushrooms and Fungi...what would an aquatic Matango be like?

could a Matango merge with Fungi, or enhance the growth of their own mushrooms in order to increase in size, or alter their body in other ways?
sort of like the Fungi from Resident evil? could be interesting as a Matango Boss NPC, or as a war/travel form for PCs?

First, thank you so much for reading: glad you enjoyed it!

These are terrific questions. And honestly, I've been thinking a lot about giving this an update and some new pages. I'll have to take these into consideration when I do.

Hmm.
would it be considered overpowered to have the mushroom merge also heal wounds?

for example, a villainous Matango has a lair filled with mushrooms, in a battle with the Players, they get their arm blown off/a chunk removed.
Instead of spending a Lot of blood to heal the wound, they instead jam mushrooms into the area, which heal the wound.
of course, growing the mushrooms in the first place isn't exactly instant, and they are also Flammable...so they can't put off spending blood forever...
kinda fits with them staying on one spot for so long.
a Matango that has been given time to put down roots/mycelium is a formidable foe/ally, but one thats just started is more vulnerable?

i could see the size of the mushroom also effect how much is healed, a few can patch up a bullet wound or cuts, a massive one that took years/Multiple vampires to grow and looks straight out of Fantasy could regrow a few limbs, as long as it isn't destroyed first.
(Visually,...See more

Are yout still thinking about updating the book? If so, would you consider including advanced mycoidae powers for level 6 and 7? Maybe something like a special form of carnivorous fungus the Vampire could use to infect the princes favorite Ghoul (or maybe even the prince himself)?

Hello Phil. My name is Austin Mitchell and I've become a huge fan of the Matango. The book is beautifully written. From the history of the Clan/Bloodline to the way they'd work in game, and their unique discipline Mycoidae, they're very well balanced! I am actually playing one or two in some stories in my area, and the Clan is taking off here. I was curious if there was a way of getting into more communication with you to go over some of the finer points of the clan? I would love to explore the idea of their elders as well and the mystery and intrigue surrounding them. Anything would help, and thank you for your time sir!

Hello Phil, my name is Chris, but I make character sheets under the name MrGone. I recently had a fan of this book ask me if I would create a character sheet for use with it, and I just wanted to ask you if that would be ok? I didn't want to presume, so I thought I should check with you first.

Thank you in advance.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
