Voivode, your enthusiasm is for new V5 things is one of my favorite things about your videos! It makes me excited to use them in the game I’m running
That library in the background is one of Rio's hidden tourist spots and a Tremere chantry in my game.
I love the picture but my eyes are always drawn to the fire extinguishers on each flood. They drive me nuts.
The Red Mist thing has got me thinking. Would that even work on Methuselahs and lower? Cuz if it does, them Humanity has at least something to fight back against those kinds and the end of the world. But I'd imagine, that kind of thing is either incredibly expensive to make or incredibly limited based on the resource used to make it. Maybe both. It's not the main point of VtM to stop an apocalypse, but it is interesting to think about.
Absolutely. As far as the book goes the elders are limited to the 5 levels of the disciplines too. Sounds crazy but even the few Methuselahs that have character sheets they have nothing stronger. I would assume that it works the same regardless of Generation and Potency. Though, I tend to bend this personally.
I upvoted when I saw Monty
As we all should, lol
Greetings,
Yes an antagonist book on hunters/2nd inquisition.still waiting for my physical copy. I like the variation in the organisation's and how they have evolved for 5e.
I completely agree. I also like that with the human rules in the Companion, playing any of these hunters is 100% possible and easy.
I believe Hunter comes before Werewolf, isn't it?
I believe so. At this point I'm just hoping Werewolf won't be an antagonist book, lol.
i really need to work on my rule reference for it.
You and me both, lol
There is a right way to do Vampire Hunters and a wrong way. I hated the Blade movies, the Buffy series, and the Underworld movies for so many reasons. One of the top reasons was that those movies made Vampires so easily killable that it feels like anything and anyone could kill them. One of my favorite Vampire films is John Carpenters Vampires. Not the best film I know, but it's a guilty pleasure of mine, and I liked the concept of Vampire Hunters hunting Vampires for money which was fleshed out in the book that the movie was based on. and it uses Vampire Hunters hunting down their foes through numbers and firepower since Humans are weak, they need to be smart when dealing with something that is more powerful than them, and then there are the Vampire Hunter D books and movies which I am a huge fan of love both of the movies, they use general troupes to kill a Vampire like using sunlight or destroying their heart. The same thing goes with the Lost Boys, another great Vampire movie, and I like in some Vampire fiction where decapitation will not work. One thing that turns me off of Vampire fiction is when a Vampire is decapitated it's dead, and it just cheapens the threat of this creature. They are not supposed to be Zombies, they are supposed to be Hungry Ghosts cursed to inhabit dead bodies. And the worst of the worst way to hunt down a Vampire is through High School. I hate teenage High School Vampire stories aimed at teenage girls. There are so many of them in books, shows, and movies, that I could puke blood. I prefer your stand-alone Salems Lot story where only the survivors must slay the town, or a story about a Van Helsing character, or a Secret Society/ Para Military Ghost Busters organization that uses Ghost Buster tech to hunt monsters. As long as Vampirism is not explained as a blood disease or a virus, because from that point all you are going to get are "Midichlorians"
I can see your point on all of that. The Vampire high school subgenre is played out big time. I just couldn't see that kind of thing being a big thing. Especially if Vamps aren't walking around in the day time. I like where Masquerade/Requiem takes the stories. I like the heavy political/personal horror aspect that seems to get left out of a lot of the movies and tv shows. Day Breakers handled it very well although they did focus on the Blood Disease kind of story, but it was still compelling.
