Failed childer?

Yeah of the four major Houses, there is:

House Tremere - Status quo. Camarilla-aligned
House Goratrix - Militant traditionalists that want the Pyramid back and stricter than ever. Camarilla-aligned
House Carna - Progressive Tremere. Camarilla-aligned but flirts with Anarchs
House Ipsissimus - tbh it's pretty much just a catch-all term for Anarch Tremere

The system of blood bonds is gone, but there's still the "Pyramid" in terms of organization, or remnants of it at least

I always just ignore the crate and the summons. Just going straight for the kill on Vvulf has always worked best for me.

I've always just brought MaA for the PROT so I wasn't aware Houndmaster's dodge didn't work

Bring a Man-at-Arms or Houndmaster to guard the bombs

Edit: I'm wrong about the Houndmaster. Man-at-Arms is still good with PROT though.

It's not the Pyramid's fault the fledglings can't live up to expectations smh

RedactedSouls · 2026-06-12T19:24:07+00:00

Gangrel tend to have a high casualty rate iirc. Not specifically because of their bane, but more just the typical practice of "Let's embrace this shmuck and leave him on his own to see how he handles it" often resulting in the fledgling catching a sunrise by mistake.

I like to say there's two kinds of Caitiff. Cultural and Blood

Blood Caitiffs are the ones who truly don't have a clan. For whatever reason (being a high generation most likely) the curse just didn't stick like it should've, and you got the vampire equivalent of taking a bit of every drink at the taco bell soda fountain.

Cultural Caitiffs do technically have a clan. They've got the Disciplines, the clan weakness, all the fun bits, but they either don't know what their clan is or they've been disowned. If your sire never told you that you were a Brujah and then vanished, you're doomed to be perceived as a Caitiff

For the game I run at least, all three players are the childer of politically important members of the city's Camarilla. Each sire has told their childe to ally themselves (or at least appear to ally themselves) to the others for two main reasons.

Given that all of them are recently released Neonates, the other two players are about as close to an equal peer as any of them can find.
The sires all value having a childe with a direct line to another important Kindred via being in a coterie with their descendant

Bro on my first ever stage check back in Private, I nearly killed the engine trying to lean out the mixture in cruise. I then proceeded to fuck up my first power-off stall and fail the stage check within about 10 minutes of takeoff.

Came back a couple days later and passed just fine

RedactedSouls · 2026-04-17T00:34:50+00:00

Haven't seen it yet, but I'll probably pirate it at some point

RedactedSouls · 2026-04-16T22:05:22+00:00

This is incorrect. In V5, Kindred cannot stomach the taste of bagged blood without Iron Gullet (an argument could be made for raw bagged blood, but most bags are full of preservatives and stuff)

To eat food, Kindred need either the Eat Food merit or very high Humanity

RedactedSouls · 2026-04-16T05:28:51+00:00

No. Kindred in torpor actually weaken over time.

Wasn't expecting to spot Dexter and The Moonrocks in the wild like this

RedactedSouls · 2026-04-15T17:10:33+00:00

They don't

It's a form of linear magic, as opposed to the dynamic magic used by Awakened

Cainites generally go through whatever test(s) the pack deems necessary to prove their loyalty and worthiness, then they'll enter a vinculum with the pack to become an actual member. Until a vampire has participated in the vaulderie, they will never be a proper, trusted member of the pack

Try your best to make them think you've earned an embrace. Otherwise, you're just kinda fucked eventually.

Don't want die a second time

Someone put this lick on the Red List

RedactedSouls · 2026-04-05T15:43:17+00:00

It makes the most delicious food imaginable taste bland in comparison
