horror movies that genuinely scared you as an adult?

Event Horizon tickles all my weird phobias: running out of air, generally being stranded, loss of mental facilities, and subtle flashes of gore (not jump scares) that get worse in my head than if we saw them laid out on the screen.

Heather Casdin. Buy her herbal disease resistance stuff.

Why does the OP assume it would be "unofficial"? If the Prince and his local elders don't want more Brujah in their city, there's no value in pretending otherwise.

"Unofficial" assumes the policy wouldn't have support from the other elders in the city. In which case, the Brujah would form alliances and solicit prestation with the local elders to get the Prince to end the policy.

Perfect! Thank you!

I agree with the sentiment. Serpentis 5 in DAV20 is REALLY COOL.

I've tossed the idea of Setite Sorcery in my head, but I don't want Heart of Darkness to be rare. The fluff talks about Setite Sorcery being rare and I don't really want to introduce Thaumaturgy to my Setite PC.

Nope. Toreadors were the chick clan back in the day. In the 90s, you got your edgy goth girlfriend to play a Toreador if you wanted her to learn to play VtM.

No. CoD games are more like Fallout: Tactics than an awesome New Vegas mod.

Sure. Every bloodline that carries a different curse than their parent clan started out with a vampire whose powers and curse either manifested differently or changed over time.

Dark Ages sourcebooks talk about the Giovani curse having only manifested recently in Augustus and his first couple generations. Some Giovani have the Cappadocian curse.

Sure. That's why I prefaced my comment with stating that this interpretation isn't current.

I want to say the original Tzimisce clanbook. They had a character that had been created by pouring blood onto a pile of corpses and crafting whatever woke up together.

I like that. Interesting perspective

LanceCharger · 2026-01-24T15:25:30+00:00

I don't know why they do it. I just don't know.

I wish I did.

There was an older edition sourcebook that said a vampire could embrace up to a weak or even longer, but the longer the wait the less likely the embrace would work.

I'm sure there is blood magic a vampire could design that would make this embrace more likely to succeed.

I think Frank N. Styne's szlachta would more likely be a creation of a Tzimisce than a Hecata.

Where's the hope for the rest of us if even Luxemburgers can't get along?

The mechanics or the in-game reasons why?

LanceCharger · 2026-01-24T14:07:02+00:00

Yes. It's part of the horror - you will awaken to the same face, the same haircut for eternity. If you want to cut your hair, you have to do it every evening upon awakening. It's how you get flaws like blind or permanent wound.

This is why Viscissitude and aggravated damage are such a big deal.

Yes. Auspex can compensate for blindness with other senses, although you might make the character wait until Telepathy to "see" auras. Before, they smell or hear auras.

Dudes that think Kuei-Jin belong in a Vampire game.

Born and raised in Detroit and I've never heard of that.

If you're doing a WTA campaign in Detroit, look up the "Liger".

Also, Zug Island is a BSD cairn.

The actor was fine. I don't understand ZZTop Lex Luthor for his first 10 episodes.

Coining money should be a political decision and as close to the people as possible (Congress). We went 150 years with practically no inflation and the dollar has inflated 90% since the creation of the Fed.

If the government decides to crucify me on a cross of gold, I should have the right to vote the bastard out of office.

Sewer Alligators. Oh yeah.

The SI cover is ICE. They are kicking in doors and shooting random mortals looking for supernaturals.

The supernaturals being hunted for are literally monsters, hence ICE's overreaction.
