You have to warm it up, put it into the fangs and press them onto your real teeth, where the wax cools down and stays in that shape. Volià, a vampire!

    Watching this in 2022, I’m realizing that the first dice set I ever bought back in 2020 was Grog’s dice set. I bought the set because the dice looked cool and it came with a small pouch. I always wondered why there was a mug for a 20 and why the bag had a design on it. I’m so glad I don’t skip the beginning ads anymore

    Did they ever officially reveal what clan everyone is? I have some assumptions and I'll leave them below along with why I think that may be the case, but I really want to know if it was ever made official.
    Matt: LaSombra (The only clan that doesn't reflect)
    Marisha: Gangrel or Nosferatu (With her whole facial transformation)
    Liam: Ventrue (refuses to eat rats, dominate discipline)
    Laura: Assamite or Malkavian (Obfuscate discipline, but I'd be disappointed if she was a malk and Taliesin never did anything with her bloodlines inherent insanity)
    Sam: Toreador (Celerity discipline)
    Travis: Brujah or Gangrel (Was very physically strong, a trait often seen in both clans)
    Taliesin: Malkavian (What other clan needs to be kept in a cage? You think a newly embraced malk is just gonna function proper without the guidance of their sire? That man breached the masquerade and had to be caged up/)

      Toreador and Brujah have celerity, so Sam could be any.

      I mean a head without a body is still dead.

    Matt looking out the door remains one of my favorite bits of critter fan art. Just a great image of a great moment.

    There are three things I love about vampire Liam, the terrible Southern accent, calling Sam his husband, and being a Nosferatu that is somehow more excited about being a vampire than anyone else.

    Lol! My friend who sits next to me at Dnd uses the CR d20s and I always wondered who signed off on the Scanlan dice being so hard to read, but now I know!

    I really want more of this one-shot, I'm legitimately curious about all this.

    I wonder who the off-camera cackle was at 1:10:23.

    Really wish it was more than a two-part one shot. It's all too good. XD

    I like how Travis is either a villain or a tarator he always lives well as much as he can considering this is a game about vampires

    Such a great microcosm of Geek & Sundry 3 years and some months ago. I'd love to see Taliesin do another one of these. Like a reboot but the situation now. Malkavian Dani Carr having more of a part next time maybe.

    I know it’s just two players still alive, but I really would love to see a part 3 of this! This was so great!
