Vampire: The Masquerade Games, Warning - Spoilers Ahead! Options

[mirocu]

I don't mind opening it on my first round; don't wanna spend eternity as a bloodsucker anyway

[mirocu]

What's this? A music video in this vampire thread? Why, yes! Because you see, people make the argument that Avril is the true embodiment of Harley Quinn. But I say she is none other than Jeanette Voerman, co-owner of The Asylum down in Santa Monica. Change my mind


Avril Lavigne - Best damn thing


And yes, this is the only time I do this

I don’t really know anything about her, other than that she was into skater boys at one time. Is she supposed to be mental?

No, more like cool and stuff. I just think she looks so much like a real life Jeanette

Oh ok, gotcha

Khajiit has been in something of a vampire mood after creating his latest D&D character, so he started a new V:tM-B game!

After a wild night, Luna is reborn into undeath.

Luna watched her sire put to death, and awaits her fate.

The Prince spares Luna and she listens begrudgingly as he tells her what to do.

A Lopov in the night.

Cap’n Jack shows her the ropes.

Grabbing a quick bite!

After arriving at her Haven in Santa Monica, Luna goes to see the Prince’s agent, Mercurio, and finds him beat halfway to hell. He explains that he went to buy some explosives from a bunch of thugs in a nearby beach house and they double crossed him. They took his money and beat him, leaving him for dead. Luna agrees to help get the explosives and the money back and he gives her directions to the beach house. She also steals some morphine for his pain from the clinic across the street. Convenient!

This is neat. I never noticed before, but there is a large wolf watching on a cliff beyond the pier.

It flees if you get closer. Is this Beckett maybe?

Carnage at the pier

Oh! Khajiit is back at it again!

Yes; it's generally "accepted" amongst fans that it is indeed Beckett who keeps on eye on you here. Don't know if official sources has confirmed it but it's more or less established as facts, just as Cabbie is Cane himself.

Well, this should get you in the mood for your D&D groups next campaign!

It makes sense to me!

Oh I’m definitely feeling it! I think Saryn is going to be a lot of fun to play.

So is Luna a Gangrel? I tried playing one, but gave up about half way through. The fighting animations with Protean were just so slow and clumsy, I missed at least half of the time I attacked.

Wow, I never noticed the wolf watching from the heights over the pier.

She is a Gangrel! I’m thinking of choosing to focus more on Fortitude, animalism, and guns with a side of unarmed. I’ll try protean since I never have tried it before, and see how I fare with it.

[mirocu]

With my first vampire, a Gangrel, I never used Protean or Fortitude, but I did use Animalism a lot. It becomes a very good complement to guns at high levels. I even remembered feeling ridicoulously overpowered later on.

[SubRosa]

There is a really high level Animalism power that gives you back more blood from its victims than it costs to use it. I forget the name. But in the later game it is a pretty effective ranged attack.

Yes, that's the one I spammed making me overly powerful. It's the one that sends out bats.

[mirocu]

So how's it going then, mr Khajiit?

Restartitis kicked in, lol. I rerolled Luna. Kept Gangrel but chose a different background. Was doing the Ex-Cop one that gave her a free point in Intimidation and Firearms but caps your Stamina at 3, and went with the Pagan Priestess one that reprioritizes your attributes as Knowledges, Physical, and Social. I’ve decided with her to go almost purely unarmed and focus on Animalism and Fortitude (if I can afford it). We are currently about to go to Asylum and meet with “The Sisters” for the first time, having wiped out the thugs at the beachhouse and recovered the astrolite. We’ve also beaten the unholy crap out of an amputee serial killer, reunited Lily and E, learned that a guy bail bondsman Arthur Kilpatrick is looking for left Santa Monica to go downtown, and kept some werewolf blood from being tested by the clinic.

All in a good day's work

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

All in a good day's work

Or a few hours anyway

[mirocu]

And now I reckon it's haunted house time. That thing works so well the first time around but everytime afterwards it's just another Monday for me if that makes sense. Wake me up when you come back with the pendant

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

With Bloodlines 2 no where in sight, there are a couple of other V:TM games in production to keep an eye on. One, Swansong, follows a Malkavian looking for a missing daughter, the other, called Blood Hunt looks to be a vamped up action game similar to Dishonored with some male/female character customization.

Here is an early trailer for Blood Hunt.

Swansong trailer.
