    My Minister character is a suburban PTA mom who has a personal cult of increasingly deranged wine moms that she recruits through multi-level marketing parties. She treats "Live Laugh Love" as personal religious tenets. Her name is Lynda and she's by far the most evil character I've ever seen in the game as a PC!

      @@jacquelinealbin7712 after the suburb has been taken over a concerned ventrue WASP type enlists the help of the players to get them out and return the neighbourhood hierarchy to what it used to be. Her end goal is to ensure her 10 year old nephew gets the upper hand in life and inherits the family's brokering firm. You have to purge the place so the little nepotism baby can be class president basically. It's a silly side mission but I'm wondering if my players will accept it or be on the side of the Live laugh love cult.

    "They say you can't trust a Minisrey kindred, cause they are willing to sell their sire, allies even their own clan for the right price. I say this makes us easier to trust. After all, many other kindred are willing to sell their sire, allies and clan for the *wrong* price."

    I played VtM back in it's White Wolf days. My Setite made a distinction between a Setite and a Follower of Set. We also successfully crafted the image of being "the exception to the rule." He was not involved in criminal activity, he didn't lead a cult, none of that. What he did do was seduce and play the long game. For example, he charmed his way into a romantic relationship with a Silent Strider kinfolk, not for her own use but in order to influence her young daughter who would most likely be a lupine in the future. A dangerous game, oh most definitely. But to have a pawn within such a hated enemy's ranks... Well worth the risk and the wait.

    A new Primogen episode, V:TM artwork, a cool script, one of the most (in my mind) mysterious clans and music from V:TM Bloodlines (I may have been guilty of using the soundtrack in my own chronicles)…… priceless!

    I'm in a Chicago by Night campaign. My Setite/Minister is pretty much the opposite of the standard clan member. Because of the circumstances of life/death/embrace, has the attitude "I will survive in the dark so those that are in the circumstances I was as a mortal, can have a chance to live in the light. I can use my evil to do good." It's a great character to play.

    My second favorite clan ! I've played a lot of Setites and members of the Ministry and they are always amazingly fun to roleplay!
    You do have two videos on the lore of my favorite clan: Giovanni, but I'm looking forward to see a proper "How to play a Giovanni" video!
    Amazing video, this one, as always!

    The Ministry is my favorite clan! I played a minister who was a master of disguise, and a pathological liar. So he had the skills and charm of James Bond but with the mentality of Hazama from the Blazblue series. He was a hot mess lol but so much fun to play as!

    Where do you start the V5 content? It doesn't seem separated between V20 and V5 and it feels like it could be useful to separate them.

    • @ThePrimogen
      @ThePrimogen  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Generally speaking all my previous videos not titled "How to play" are pre-V5. My How to Play videos are aimed mostly for relatively new players who are getting into V5.
      It *should* be useful for V20 and earlier editions too, of course, but I had to take some recent events into consideration for V5. Sorry for the confusion.
