Watch in slow motion for the last twenty seconds to spot the branch that nearly takes my head off.
Well, breaking the masquerade like that, even if to inform neonates, is surely to bring the wrath of the inquisition and the rest of the kindred. You never know when a Nosferatu, Lasombra or Malkavian obfuscated may be trying to Final Kill you. Be safe, dude, being slain by a branch is no way to go.
Foolish vampire. Can´t you see that even nature wants to purge abominations out of existence? "Nobody expects the Inquisition!", they say. You will have to learn how true that is. Well, I have to go now and pick up that holy branch and forge it into a stake ...
Do you have classical acting training? The most impressive thing about these videos to me is how you do this whole performance in one go, no editing cuts or fancy-pants camerawork. It's really good!
AGirlWhoseNameI4got No, I did study Drama at college but I don't have formal training ;) This is just me rambling without repetition, deviation, or interruption for around half an hour. I don't even flinch when trees try to kill me.
Must've been one of those murderous branches of the church that was talked about in Episode 1.
The Gentleman at the start of this video: "we're perfectly safe."
Some random bone gnawer that threw a branch at the end of the video: "You sure bout that."
@GM_SteelhavenAlways that one born under a New Moon...
Damn I love this guy...so happy he works with White Wolf. Guys like that make our game and our community better. *Tips hat*
We completely agree. It's people like you too.
....OH just noticed the date. Bc there is no white wolf, lol
This is gonna get me back into Masquerade
Good!
"And for now on I shall be forever known as Lord Robert Camden"
Or Roger. Or Thomas. Or Beckett.
The whole "wearing a coat of mortals" thing takes a whole new meaning when you realize what clan our Gentleman is, and what said Clan's Disciplines are capable of.
What Clan is he in?
The pin displays the symbol of the Harbingers of Skulls, who are what's left of Clan Cappadocian. They have both Necromancy and Auspex, both of which allow for the possessing of a body in some way or form. It would also explain why he doesn't look... well, dead. Their third Discipline is Fortitude, which is why our Gentlemen is currently not extra crispy.
On a side note: Don't you think it's funny that the Cappadocians and the Salubri both had Auspex and Fortitude, yet neither could see their end coming nor protect themselves from it?
Dear Cappadocius;
We miss Mortis.
Sincerely,
Your Childer.
Dear Brian
Let's see what we end up with in V5. You never know what may return to unlife.
Sincerely,
Cappadocius
Here I am, sitting here 3yrs later and just finding this gentleman. I've watches a few of his vids and really enjoy them.. love what he said.. "And there is nothing so indignifying as being hunted by our own food source."
"Mithras's Advisor." Roger de Camden confirmed ;)
Oh fine. You got it.
World of Darkness Whooooo! The confirmation is much appreciated!
didnt he die long long time ago? Whats the chance roger de Camden appears in the modern world?
He was confirmed to still be alive in Beckett's Jyhad Diary. As to the specifics of how or why, I'm not entirely sure.
So Maria wasn't "the last Cappadocian" anymore.
"Nobody expects the Second Inquisition!!"
I'm glad to see you finally got a job that not only reflects your hobby but also are working on the product you enjoy so much. A lot can happen in a few years eh? Tip of the hat to you good sir.
And back to you!
“You came back. It means you learned something.” I learned biker Tremere rock and Harbingers are relics. :P
Where is the lie.
I think this video alone helps showcase that an official modern day London by Night sourcebook needs to be written.
DanteCorwyn surely that is an empty book with the line 'write your own chronicle here' in it? ;)
Sold!
This is in all honestly some of the best weaving narrative I have watched in regard to about any roleplay setting.
Well done in terms of the content and the casting thus far. I will be watching with a deeper interest.
Thank you for saying so!
"Camden? My brother is that you?"-valentian the hagiographer.
It is he.
World of Darkness "lord camden has returned...at last we will have our justice for our eternity of suffering! One can only hope the murder of Saulot will soon also be avenged...."
Loving that you're back, your videos used to be a weekly ritual of mine.
The next one is out tomorrow!
1:15 Loved the Pentex Vampire chairman reference here.
Finally! SOMEONE THAT CAN DO THIS WITHOUT BEING CRINGE! Take notes WW more like this its about confidence no silly voices or costumes. The way hes so casual.
The feeling this video emits is supurb! This might be the best Roleplay I have seen so far! (Also, it is nice that these videos can be used with 20th/4rd edition)
Thank you for saying so!
I like how you kept cool and used the branch as a fun way to end the video!
again this guy is just amazing
Thank you for your continued support!
What happens when both the Camarilla and the Vampire Hunters realize that "The Masquerade" is in both of their interests?
Paradox and White Wolf by extension should make the Gentlemen Gamer into a Bloodlines 2 character.
Dude 2023 was reminded of the game after years. This was a cool series. You shouldn't have stopped
The Corpse in the Monster: Gift of Life, that's how you are in daylight!
That must be it!
What a fabulous monologue.
He does have a talent for it.
"Vampires going up in flames"..Haha...this Mage found that humorous indeed.
I wish Matthew will also do official lore QAs and maybe interviews with the other developers. Man it's so comforting seeing him every week, I am such a fan boy :P
Always love The Gentleman Gamer's videos!
He seems to have developed quite a following!
Great episode, I'm loving the new lore.
Hooray!
Looking Forward to Episode 3 :D
It'll be up on Tuesday!
I am going to dispute the fact of that being twilight lol
Adrian Benningfield You weren't there man! Bright evenings right now.
;)
I just thought someone had to be a rules lawyer ans2 i figured hey why not me 😁. I think you are doing a fantastic job with these videos.
Yep, it's definitely twilight. The sun had gone down but he's under the shade of some trees, making the background look brighter than where he's standing.
It's still sunlight.
Adam Austin also plasma and orbital platforms. Elders can't use their powers if their target is in unprotected space
Absolutely brilliant! A long time fan and am fully immersed. Thank you.
I bet the Technocracy had a hand in this, after the week of nightmare how could they not.
VtM 5th sounds awesome. I'm anxious to actually get my hands on it, to a chronicle before my group.
You sir are simply amazing! I love where the story is going. Looking forward to the new stories!
We're looking forward to delivering them!
So Hardestadt is dead (both), Mithras dead & Tremere and the 7 are possibly dead as well. What next? Ur-shulgi will bite the dust? Augustus Giovanni gonna eat dirt? The anathema of the Red List are alive and well, while the upholders of the Red List are all biding farewell...Thats ironic. And here me hoping the Salubri or Capadocians could return, they just might, but returning to a burning house where everybody is hiding or killing each other is a real pain.
In Becket's Jihad Diary is establish that the souls of Tremere and Saulot are body hoping. So I wouldn't feel to bad the worm in Vienna has bit the bullet. Kinda disappointed it never did anything I'm half hoping is still around somewhere.
Who can say with such ancient and destructive beings...?
Only the Storyteller of each given table...suggested by the metaplot
heil cappadocians the main thief agustus will pay for his purge...
Still do love that this series, getting that sweet sweet lore before i get the books (don't know when i'll be able to budget it out for them)
It comes out this week!
That was awesome! So cool to see after years of watching The Gentleman Gamer that he gets to do something official for white wolf! :D
I have to give you credit where credit is due...these videos are incredible...and I'm not sure how you didn't break character in the end lol
How in God's name do you remember all this? It comes out FLAWLESSLY. Also-you should do voice work for video games. Preferably by voicing a character in whatever the next Vampire The Masquerade video game to come out.
This is amazing i was just talking about how white wolf should continue the world they built
Then boom friend sends me this
MrFlippybob 5th Edition comes out in August...
Oooffff
It comes out this week!
That blue suit is on fleek!
We rather like it.
Shubb Yog reminds me of elijah from the originals
Love all your videos thank you for showing the world how a Vampire should be "plaid"....unlike certain Twilightish book that broth Vampire fantasy down in speckles.
To this day in my long life and hunt for any book or films Vampire Masquerade was the only medium (Books games) that brought an show vampires in quality to a level they should be. Keep up the good work go White Wolf and and Mr. Gentleman XD
Thank you! And go you as well!
Good stuff. I await the next installment.
It'll go up on Tuesday!
I do find it a bit funny you can tell most his acting experience is mostly from DMing, because his acting from the chest up (which is what players see at a table) is much better than his slightly awkward stance. No shade though, I fucking love these videos and TGG.
Been so excited for the 2nd inquisition! been watching my hero Jason Carl play UGHH so good!!
Pretty decent birthday present, I have to say. Good to have you back.
Happy birthday!
I'm glad you're back Gent, I thought you'd retired back to the proverbial crypts for good!
Elder D i am happy to watch & learn & cant wait for the 3rd chapter
It'll be up this Tuesday!
awesome love it XD I'm so glad you are more active now XD
This makes me want to get sired it’s just so perfectly immersive
The groundskeepers of that cemetery have failed in their duties, it is unkempt and obviously a danger, widowmakers drop upon unwary visitors.
The sound volume has improved and that was the only nitpick I had from the first episode ;) The vibe continues to be great, I could listen to hours of lore delivered by the Gentleman ^_^
*laughs in hunter*
*laughs in vampire*
they know...
Laughs in Antediluvian
Laughs in technocrat
@@aidantrent5933 Laughs in... Methuselah?
2:17 - someone hasnt noticed the Corax in the background
Blood and fire, blood and fire all around we all dance the game, but do we know who truly pulls the strings we dance to.
Preordered and excited for V5.
Good man!
That moment at 25:14 when an Inquisition Squirrel tries to make its move!
A nosferatu once told me that squirrels and raccoons make for excellent sappers.
Just missed him!
th-cam.com/video/T_AHCm0urak/w-d-xo.html
Superb!
Hurrah!
You really should start a series on HBO or Netflix, etc.
Great video! I LOVE the in character lore delivery.
One thing I'm confused about is how is the Second Inquisition so effective when they're so loosely formed? Is it supposed to be a mystery to be revealed at a later date?
4 years to late,
But that is why the inquisition was able to overwhelm, A single organized force can be squashed and manipulated by the kindred into their interest but one based on hysteria, indepedant yet destructive actions and the fact the humanity outnumbered vampires by 1 to a 1000 means that the vampires cannot easily nor decisively destroy the spirit of the second inquisition, you can kill a veteran Hunter and his cell but more will take its place and your back at square one, The more irrational and paranoid the hunters are he more dangerous they become iff not become more powerful as kindred still fears mankind as much as the werewolves as a whole.
These are awesome
They are!
I being a Camarilla at heart find these baseless accusations of the Camarillas fault in this new inquisition deeply offensive. / As a player im eager to see what the Camarilla will do, i kinda expect it going to ground dosnt overly surprise me, but i hope to see them rise again but hey im a Cammy not gonna hide it :P still..im curious to see how all this will come to a head.
Yeah, don't expect them to take responsibility.
Would this mean that the Society of Leopold has become a faction within the larger Second Inquisition?
From what I read in review(don't won the book yet) kinda. They are a part of the Inquisition they are both strengthen and serve as advisers to other organizations not as well versed with the occult.
Some of them are definitely present.
So it's a Rebel Alliance/Resistance kind of Inquisition. Then good and bad cause some internal conflicts but hey X-Wings rite :)
That would be correct they are now the society of Saint Leopold and they are downright scary now especially with their elite Branch The entity special operations group or esog they were the ones who torched Vienna and Prague
the butt wiggle at the beginning has me sold
He is a bit of a wiggly serpent.
Great voice, good speech rhythm! The only thing that bothers me is the slightly out of focus camera and blue tint or blue filter you used. Honestly I would try and redo this one more time. DSLr cameras with vintage lenses are wonderful for this type of interview style. At least use a cheap sports camera just to get a clear image and use post production software to add atmosphere. Love the one take style don't change that at all!
It is not only we young and weaker-blooded ones who would do anything to survive, sir. Nearly any conscious being can be made to betray even its deepest, most passionate ideals if it is made to suffer enough. We all want to believe that we could hold fast and never falter, but in reality we are all fragile, and when we forget this truth, we become more vulnerable, not less.
If I am not much mistaken, you once learned this lesson... in Kaymakli. We know what happens to those who forget history. I say this with respect: please take care not to forget yours.
Well done
Thanks!
Kine lust for financial wealth and maintaining their financial wealth more than any Kindred thirst for vitae. Can the Second Inquisition be stopped? Depends. How much sway do the Venture, or Kindred, in general, have over the mortal stock market? I've also heard that one of the Nosferatu managed to get his hands on nuclear launch codes, back when he was mortal. I'll assume that his skills have improved, since then, but that's more of a crude last resort.
2024 you should turn this into a audiobook 🌹❤️🌹it’s that good 😊
"Do we tick?" Almost a Doctor moment.
Oh and Gratiano's mad already? He is the supposedly last diablerist from the bunch. Last time he was *here* in Rio de Janeiro, wonder what he is plotting.
Who knows where he is now...?
The gentlemen guide to the vampire during the daylight
Did i miss something or did he said that he was the advisor of a Camarilla AND a Sabbath vampire ??
Great video as always.
Nominally Camarilla, he was one of Mythras's advisors. He's a Harbinger of Skulls though, and they were nominally Sabbat.
If you close your eyes the intro passes for being from the game...that's a shitty compliment but a compliment.
I forget, what happens when a clan looses its Anti-antediluvian, not replaced, but actually looses them?
Seems most relevant to your question: whitewolf.wikia.com/wiki/Ravnos_Antediluvian
They start feeling very unwell...
Three words: Week of Nightmares
3 more words: Holy Fucking Shit.
I have never played bloodlines, but I did play redemption, and this will get me ready for bloodlines 2, but the antediluvian in redemption, was he a clan patriarch or was he a simple antediluvian? and another thing how can a thinblood actually become part of a clan if they are thinblood? and not just they simply diablorized a clan member.
"The information networks around the world"... You mean like that location map of vampires on the world of darkness website?
whats going on now?? Seems, fishy
Oh nuts.
If there is a way to do an alternative ending where he was wrong about the Garou and they come out tp cleanse the Wyrm when the branch falls. 😁
A blooper reel, perhaps?
A blooper reel would be great. I was5 thinking a werewolf because he said it was safe, and6 since it is the world of darkness it is never truly safe.
Just here to find out where the Mages fit in.
"Interviewing too few of us"
nice
Very curious where the Sabbat are.
XD loving this new lore!
Glad you're enjoying it! The book is out this week!
Funny I was just going to try that until 22:57
Why is the video so blurry even in 1080p?
Good Show Ol' chap, Good show
Bravo!
16:88 entity damn well might
awesome
Hooray!
"...the President is mighty dopey." LOL.
You outside during the day, how do I do that trick?
So, 5th edition vampires are now fans of... Twilight?! Oh...
Very good.
Do kindred go to Hell upon physical death?
Sometimes, it's a little ambiguous. Up to the storyteller I expect.
I've seen ghosts of people who were previously vampires though, so at least a little bit of "soul" must remain. The ShadowLands probably isn't Hell though.
I've heard of kindred making pacts with demons, so our souls must have some value. They probably go to Hell.
I've heard of kindred who possess true faith, maintaining humanity, only feeding on animals and such. Not sure where they go...
I love the video but can you lower the background music just a bit ? or upload a version with out it. For some reason it causes me to get a migraine.
Is the Gentleman canon by Now ? I certainly hopes so dammit.
Not true about Shreknet. The nos are bringing it back. Victor Temple is helping them too. Also, Fangster is better. It uses magical rituals so that ONLY a vampire can see it and use it.
are all of the past ones up here?
They are on the Gentleman Gamer's personal channel.
Bless ya Ladies and Gents
I really loved the first one but i think this one was ruined by all the thing you didn’t
anticipated. I meant, in the first video obviously the decor in the rear it’s a
fake one. But it doesn’t matter. The interpretation was spectacular. The
content and the length of the video were great. So it’s not a problem if you
can’t (won’t) expend money for the decor.
So, the bases for the next videos are there. The content of video and the way
the relator use to tell us the history.
But with this second video, I wasn’t able to determine whether the rear is real or
not. I think it’s real because of the many sounds of cars passing around there.
And two or three times It was difficult for me to understand Matthew’s words.
But the thing about twilight, after 15 minutes the speech started? the light of
sun should gone off. Because the game of light and darkness of twilight takes
maybe 5 minutes?
Just little details.
Sorry about that, I love this world, I love this game.
And the Matthew contribution and his acting skills are great.
I’m just a little French who is practicing and improving his English. And I thought that I
could tell what I found bizarre in this video.
Otherwise, thank you.
Why would you thumbs down this video?
Inquisitors?
Kindred who don't like all their secrets being leaked on the internet?
Maybe they are Tremere...
the vampires call us cattle. which i find funny. because cows kill 22 people a year on average. with that in mind, you have to ask yourself.
*Do you wanna risk being number 23? Well, do ya Fangface?*
I came back to this because apparently pigs kill 40 people a year in the usa and canada. Which is 6 times more than sharks worldwide. My point still stands
It’s daytime my kindred.
