    This feels like such a different story from LA by night. LA by night feels like a political drama where the players are powerful and influential kindred who’s decisions could effect the fate of the LA kindred community, while the players in this game feel like young, naive kindred trying to find there way in the world and having no real power outside of the corner of the city they’ve been given. Both great games and the story teller knocks the ball out of the park in both stories

      Hey thank you very much! And yes, you are right: I chose to try for a very different kind of story and tone with NY by Night. I think of this story as more of a street-level, grittier situation than the LA story. I love both, and Vampire is so good at offering us many different kinds of stories!

      Funny thing is... i all my... 15(?) years as a vampire player, this is the first time i saw that... Everyone treat the humanity 0 monster as a boogie man, some telltale to scare children, and nobody ever thought of using it for real in a scene... I JUST FUCKING LOVED IT when JC decide to use it.

    1:38:30 - Some people and gamers don't understand this action, but I 100% LOVE it when players have their characters do a "freeze" action, where they know their character would have a lapse of judgement and do nothing. Huge props to Aabria, that's how you roleplay.

    • @devinkerr5474

      I was honestly surprised neither of the other players had their character react to the fire, or that Jason didn't call for them to react in their distracted states. I'm not sure with Rey's physical intervention or Issac's manipulation that either would have noticed the sudden flare was from her, but that's a big nitpick and I loved Fuego's pause

    God the dynamics of this coterie are amazing. Every character contributes something essential to the narrative and immersion. Honestly I find Fuego the scariest --- there's just a simple lack of remorsefulness in her that makes her just that little bit more comfortable being the monster.

He takes care of them better then the usual Tzimece but they're still part of his horde so, is it possible? Yes. it's his character. however I don't think it's the most standard thing. of course I could be absolutely wrong so I am up for discussion

    Even though Rey seems like a typical Ventrue, his temperament is definitely Gangrel. He is also fierce and resilient, and that reads Gangrel to me much more so than a Brujah either. Also, one of his Convictions is never to become a beast, or something along that phrasing, which to me resonates with the Gangrel clan's Bane. He must have known on some subconscious level that if he doesn't quell his temper or fights against anything or anyone that threatens his survival that he might forget he is human/humanoid and become an animal much like most Gangrel have done in the past.

      I mean, after he got turned he got aggressive. He repeatedly points out that it's new for him, his attempts to control his aggression are very much conscious actions on his part. It fucked up his life to the point he can't go back. Being fierce and resilient is also a pretty common trait but one I would especially apply to the Ventrue with Dominate and Fortitude. He's a very social animal, unlike standard Gangrel. He's well groomed, dressed to impress, and he strives to make connections and deals such as laundering money for Richter and becoming "Partners" with Drezzler. Nothing Gangrel about him except the Curse.

    But seriously, well done everyone! We’re getting a bit more background on each of the coterie and it’s making the characters richer for it, I’m liking them more and more! Cat was an unexpected surprise and delightfully unhinged.
    Loved how the ghouls are characters in their own right and share their experience of being what they are to the Coterie.

    What an excellent episode. A great set of new and returning players. Aabria fantastic fun, she knows how to play with the role and bends her actions in unique ways. Joey is excellent at causing trouble and speaking his mind, I enjoy how little bullshit he can take, but am also interested in seeing just how tough Rey can get. Mayanna is a bit mysterious still, Serif is still forming into what the character will also be, but her willingness to go along with things always leads to fun. Seeing this playful side of Shayne, who was very tragic as Katya in LA by Night, has also been great. She plays an excellent Guido-esc Italian hooked to the Mafia and the pleasure she conveys about death is funny, yet disturbing.
    Honestly the biggest treat is seeing Alex play such a different character and it fitting so naturally. He was fantastic as Jasper, but seeing him play this more direct and powerful clan is awesome to watch. Watching Isaac's back and forth with Cat at 2:04:00 was so fun to watch. He tried being polite and then his clan came out and he demanded 'Who told them?!' and he dominated an older vampire. It was so different than Jasper. It's good to see him play with this more forceful character and open character.
    Also, Jason is an awesome storyteller who also seems to be having a good time with the new setting up and surroundings. Cannot wait to see more!
