me when anyone says literally anything
After playing a lot of Demon the Fallen recently I think it's really interesting how much better this system is at the whole "personal horror" aspect than Vampire is. So many of the most controversial changes to Vampire have been made ostensibly in the name of preserving the "personal horror" aspect which, in case anyone isn't aware, is the aspect that's meant to make you go "oh no I really shouldn't have drained that person in my hunger frenzy, I'm such a monster fr." I actually think this has never really been done that well in Vampire the Masquerade because it always feels to me like the game does this by either taking control away from you to make you do bad things through stuff like Frenzy rolls and Messy Criticals, or giving you chores to do that cause you to lose Humanity if you don't do them, like with protecting your Touchstones. So losing Humanity is usually due to a mechanical loss of personal control rather than a temptation to give into the monster within and feel guilty about it later. Demon, on the other hand, is set up through it's mechanics to actually tempt you into being more monstrous. Because staying low-Torment has real gameplay benefits like being able to resist True Faith and holy symbols better, appearing as an angel instead of a demon to people who see you're apocalyptic form, and being able to walk into a church without bursting into flames. But the raw combat power and destructive potential you get from taking on Torment is so tempting sometimes. In just a few sessions of Demon, I have desperately wanted my character, Ishtar, to whip out her claws or grow some extra limbs to help out with a gameplay challenge pretty much every time I sat down to play, just like I've been tempted to emotionally manipulate someone useful into becoming a Thrall just because I could really use their help and it'd be so nice if they couldn't say no. I think it also helps that Demon has a satisfying power fantasy on both ends of the spectrum. If you do well and avoid Torment you get to be an angel, which is cool, but if you give into Torment you get to be a badass powerful Demon and at least get to tear shit up. Whereas your reward for being a good little vampire and never losing Humanity is that you get to be... just kind of a nice vampire, while missing out on some of the things you might conceivably want to do when you sit down to play a vampire game, like drain some loser dry, or turn someone into a vampire.
Saw this in the notes and:
It sounds to me like you @blwvba don’t want to play VTM at all. This is not a v5 specific thing. The entire premise of VTM as a concept is that you are not rewarded for being a good person, that being a vampire is antithetical to what feels natural and good to a human. The point is that you or your character might not want to do terrible things but survival as a Cainite means that you will inevitably be forced to make extremely difficult decisions that cause you to reflect on what it means to be undead and the nature of your own humanity. “All you get for being nice is being kind of a nice vampire” is precisely the point. It is because the setting is so dark and being a good person is difficult that high humanity is even more meaningful.
The fact that being a terrible person grants you access to powerful and easy solutions to your everyday problems is what CREATES the personal horror, is what generates the temptation. Being evil not only feels good, but in these circumstances, can be easily handwaved as “I was just doing what I needed to do to survive”.
“You’re truly expected to just eventually lose your character to a downward spiral” Elders are few and far between and generally either Pathed or very low humanity for a reason. This is again not exclusively a v5 thing
I don’t disagree with the original poster about how humanity loss in v5 feels a bit too mechanized by RNG rather than personal player choice but I just couldn’t leave this in the notes
Edit: forgot to mention but they did not get rid of elders in v5 because elders are incompatible with humanity mechanics, it’s to give weaker vampires (the focus of v5) more influence over their environments and to create a sense of instability and urgency by destabilizing pre-existing power structures
Having experienced a lot of it in my 20s, I think some of the worst, pettiest, most straight up this-is-just-bullying-you're-passing-off-as-praxis incidences of Queer Infighting endemic to young people can be best understood as attempts to exercise power by people with very little power.
Like you're 22, you're queer, you've just become a Marxist, the scope of World Suck is overwhelming and you have $30 in your bank account. What can you do to feel like you have any power? Well, you can try to get your frenemy cancelled for cosplaying a character from a problematic show. You can write a public callout post over someone's obviously friendly use of a slur you don't think they technically have the right to reclaim. Doing this stuff can make you feel like you have power and your actions have an impact. Unfortunately the impact in question is a negative impact on other marginalized people. But that often takes some maturity and self-reflection to notice.
I'm reminded of this post from 2017. To paraphrase, OP took part in community service via their university and part of that was cleaning the bathrooms at the local homeless community centre, which would frequently get trashed, not because the homeless people using them disrespected the work of the people cleaning them but because they had so little control over other things that happened in their lives, and the bathroom was something they could affect.
This, too, is a trashed bathroom; young queer people living through hell and having precious little control over their circumstances or the world in which they exist can affect something by using the language of social justice as a cudgel on their would-be allies, as well as getting a brief feeling of power over someone else by doing it.
It's not worth it. Don't trash your community bathrooms.
Sometimes you’ve just got to think of your favorite character getting fucked against a wall to get through the work day.

Never let some invisibly wrinkled centuries old bloodsucker give you shit for being new bitch on the block. They think they’re sooo mighty and powerful bc they’ve survived for sooo long when like 90% of that timeframe there weren’t any guns or cameras or borders so they could kill some random defenseless lady, fuck off 1 village east, and nobody would blink an eye. Now you pop around the block for a lazy bite to eat and 8 electric eyeballs bear witness to your target pulling iron and filling your gut with 9mm rounds before activating an international manhunt on your ass. Camarilla execs haven’t ever dealt with this shit personally. Some of these dusty motherfuckers predate widespread literacy and have never budged from their Embrace city and it damn well shows. I’d like to see one of London’s mutant ass 5th gen’s go without a kine proxy for a week in the modern day. They’ll guaranteed fumble the hunt after centuries of Doordashing their drinks and get inquisitors with phosphor rounds driving them out of their safe space. Can’t drive, no ID, no credit card, no records, not a fucking drop of patience for interacting with mortals, good fucking luck starting up in a new city much less getting to it. Call me an insolent whelp again bitch i’ll run you over with my car and selfie your broke and steamrolled ass to the groupchat #GoGrampa

Sinners is what happens when directors are allowed to experiment with the genres like a horror musical that puts you in a trance and makes you question your existence while also being campy and funny but also breathtakingly beautiful but also haunting and terrifying? Yes please I literally did not want to leave the theater I wanted to just stay there and keep watching it over and over
The portrayal of white people who have been violently separated from their own culture stealing the power of black culture and music to try to get reconnected was SO literal and somehow not at ALL heavy-handed or trite. Fkn remarkable.

i may not feel like drawing outside of work but i'm at least gonna TRY
you know it really isnt immoral, if you do it right, to raise cows and sheep for meat. so. well. i think there should be a story about, vampires who have a town of humans that they keep well-maintained, so long as the humans donate their blood once a month, like vampire blood farm stuff
but instead of antagonistic everyone's like. no he's a nice man you leave the count alone. he keeps us safe and cared for and he just needs a lil snack now and then, it dont hurt anyone. like a cow that loves the farmer and the farmer that loves the cow, even with both knowing one will end up on the other's table. because its like. its like. cows just have such pretty eyes, you know? they love you so much. i think it should be like that
literallyyyyyy
i want to be part of a vampire's herd. and i want him to pet me like a cow
It's only safe for humans to donate a full unit of blood every eight weeks (and even if they only manage to get a partial out of you, they still recommend you wait 2 months), so our hypothetical count would need to have 56 healthy, non-anemic humans in his pool, presuming he needs a full 500 mL of blood each feeding, and he needs to feed once per day.
Obviously, a vampire family will need a larger community to care for, scaling linearly with the number of adult members of the family, assuming the above blood intake.
This still lets a vampire build a healthy relationship with his herd, presuming that he has Traditional Human Dinner with his donor before feeding, or some other social bonding ritual, on a rotating basis.

People on here are always talking about Tzimisce fleshcrafters as Vampire Gender Affirming Surgeons but no one ever once mentioned to me that that’s explicitly a canon Thing Thin-Blood Alchemists Can Do??
The second night
continuing on from my last letter my second night in Adelaide started significantly better then the first, as I woke in my coffin in side nossie's game room... hes the Nosferatu that is letting me stay with him till I find better accommodation, (he has a maze of electrified chain link fences in his underground home. its a massive open space with pillars all through it with a bedroom and a games room in the back with heavy bulkhead doors ) all of this is under pipers club so I think its actually like 3 stories underground, it looks like they have modified the whole sewer network here. I went up a freight elevator in to the back side of the club, there was some commotion before hand but im not sure what that was about. As I walked in the camarilla sheriff (hes this big mustached aboriginal guy in a duster) was there eating a sandwich at the bar, hes a fera of some kind and looks to have a close relationship with Piper. I made eye contact with him and he called for a "traditional greeting" and we punched each other in the face, i bruised his cheek he broke my jaw... apparently he smelled the wyld and the weaver on me more then the wyrm so he wanted to "Test" me he seams okay... he looks to not like the cam he works for, and he left soon after to “go to work” I ended up having a conversation with piper about the political situation here, I am honestly still kinda shocked how little the cam let there “Kindred” know... if a vampire has no one to teach them they just kinda get thrown out in to the night to work it out as they go... as we were talking Mikala come striding in claiming to be “the second coming of Dracula” cos some how he woke from torpor early, (I was so tempted to punch him in the face) I have my theories on how he recovered from that much damage so quickly but no confirmation. In talking to piper now with the full group from the night before (Mikala, Piper, Adrian and myself) piper was talking about how her sire still grips her as we where discussing blood bonds and such, and I was just teaching them a few things that the cam neglected to tell them. They asked if there was a way to brake blood bonds and I informed them about the Vaulderie, they seemed eager to do it, so we gathered the required components we moved to a private room and I preformed the ritual... the weight that lifted of pipers shoulders was so clear to see and far more then the others, she went in to detail about her tremere sire Alex, (I hate that they share a name with our Alex) and how he abandoned her at first and has now been manipulating her, hes like a shadowed boogeyman twisting everything she has to his benefit. And because she had this moment of honesty with us and the group blood bond the Vaulderie provides I let them know my real name and title, (I may have left out the part where blood bonds don't work on our family) they took it pretty well I don't know if they believed me tho... a little later Mikala through a 'birthday party” for his ghoul Smith (the one who dragged him out of the zoo) and rented out the wet room for it. (That blade style rave room with the blood sprinklers) so we all prepped for a party, what caught me off guard tho was what Mikala did at said party... he embraced his ghoul without permission, onstage, in front of a crowd of “his trusted” about 40-50 vampires, it was honestly kinda fucked to watch, as smith also mutated on stage, he got big, the mofo went from 6ft to like 8ft and was given a mortal to not just drink but eat and rip apart.
But the blood sprinklers were turned on alcohol infused blood was served like it was a normal thing to see... sure we do some messed up stuff as Tzimisce but this was a really odd experience to me . At the party I met a caitiff named Blair, she seams to be at least part Tzimisce as she has access vicissitude and some of the lesser clan flaws. But we got to talking and oh my go her vicissitude skills need work, we ended up getting a room and I spent a bunch of time fixing her mistakes and just chatting before going back to the party a few hours later. Now dad I know you don't approve of caitiff's but shes cool, and dose sword fighting and stuff you will probably like her if you give her a chance but I honestly cant remember the next few hours beside music, lights, dancing and alcohol blood... I remember later near dawn carrying piper over my shoulder walking down a main road with Mikala following behind, as we were going to steal our ghould lion from the zoo. This time Mikala used a dominate ability to talk his and pipers way in. I jumped the fence around the back, (I still haven't worked out a way to not horrify mortals) but we meet up at the enclosure Piper picked a staff entry lock and I try to pry open the metal door to get to "sleeping pen", and i end up failing and needing to purge the alcohol from my body, (that's really not fun btw ) with a clear head and now realizing what we are doing... it wasn't to late to stop but I was kinda invested in stealing this lioness (who we now know is pregnant, so we are going to have little revenant lion cubs running around in a few months I think) we bust the lioness out and I help her hop a fence and we meet up with piper and Mikala in a van driven by Mikala's other ghoul Wesson (shes cool, has like a fem john wick style to her ) We got back to the underground of the club in the van, via a hidden car sized elevator in a near by building that links into the sewers. Its a rather cool set up. Now this is where shit takes a turn Adrian comes up to me with bloody hands and face saying some vampires beat him up and cut off his finger, it is my fault for believing him but he was actually missing a finger... I got him to show me where it happened, down a path in the sewers up a small personal lift in to a hidden spot in a alleyway, and the vampires where still there, Adrian pointed them out and confirmed it was them, I didn't even give them a chance to speak I let my claws out and ripped one of there hearts out through their back and just started killing there was 6 in total only 2 were torpored the rest met a true death by my hands is wasn't till I had my claws in the last one that I asked why they did it, and the confusion on his face and the horrifying wide smile on Adrian's let me know all I needed to, I had fucked up big time, I couldn't let this last one go with what I had done to his friends so I gave him that one final little push to torpor by snapping his neck. I asked Adrian why he respond with nothing more then “im thirsty” as he dragged the 2 torpord vamps into the sewers with a fair amount of struggle. ( left the other to burn in the now soon to rise sun) It seams like he can only drink vitae but lacks the strength to hunt on his own, His wounds don't heal either... as pissed off as I was I couldn't let him just walk around with bleeding missing finger. the nerves and tendons where so messed up, looking at it hadn't been cut off it had been pulled out with a chunk of the tendons and nerves. so I just replaced his whole hand with one of the torpord vampires as he was feeding off it.... now I know him better I think he did that to himself just to better bait me in to killing for him. Needless to say I didn't sleep well that day. yours sincerely your loving daughter, Amelia Tepes Ps: this place sucks but I'm not giving up yet.
