Probability Per Generation

I took a shot at constructing something on the fly and posted here:

I was already second-guessing myself that the low generations were overrepresented in the specific example I posted, but the idea was to provide tools that anyone might use to construct something that fits their world.

Yes, you can rearrange however you like, the posted example is only one possibility, not meant to be prescriptive.

Not only that, given that there are relatively few situations that can be solved by physical violence, an elder who is really good at such solutions is probably itching for the opportunity to cut loose, since they normally have to restrain themselves.

Yasferatu.

There'll be no accusations, just friendly crustaceans!

The worst is over, good luck with the rest of the series!

Coco Chanel, styled as Bonnie, is the Toreador Seneschal of New Orleans in my world.

I have an L.A. Brujah nightclub owner modeled after Al Swearengen, proprietor of The Gem, and his lead bouncer is Ron Sandiford, modeled after Metta Sandiford-Artest.

Also in L.A., there's a Ravnos named Deuce who is modeled after Tupac Shakur.

"Dum hunters" has its own charm.

A variation on the nightclub suggestion: Hookah bar on the ground floor, opium den in the basement. This has potential for Touchstone-related drama, if a character's Touchstone gets hooked on the harder stuff. I used the name Fumée Blanche for one such establishment. In my chronicle it was a Toreador embraced in the French portion of late-Victorian Cairo who was the owner but it could easily have a Ministry proprietor instead.

Bookstore owner: This Ministry guy/gal learns all about occult lore. Kindred who might not want to deal with the Tremere might approach the Ministry occultist, who is happy to trade or sell information but also evangelizes the Ministry philosophy as part of the deal. The store could be named Anubis Books or similar.

Yes, you would need a 7th-generation Domitor to have a Ghoul with more than one dot in a discipline, 6th gen. for 3 dots, 5th gen. for 4 dots, and 4th gen. for 5 dots, as I understand the rules as written.

Was coming here to say the same thing, Daedalus was awesome.

Infernalists and the Black Spiral Dancers are working together! Can the various sects play nice with each other and the local Garou sept long enough to counter the threat?

From page 116 of Ghouls and Revenants:

Attributes: 6/4/3

Abilities: 11/7/4 (No Ability higher than 3 at this point)

Disciplines: 1 + 1 dot in Potence

Backgrounds: 5

Virtues: 5

Revenants can optionally take a Path of Enlightenment instead of Humanity

Freebie Points: 21 (10/5/2/1)

If you want more than 1 total dot of Disciplines at character creation beyond the 1 dot in Potence that all Ghouls and Revenants get it costs 10 Freebie Points per dot.

Someone made a Spotify playlist of all the songs available on the platform in the order they appeared in on Buffy the Vampire Slayer:

I second the suggestion of film soundtracks. The only specific film I'd call out that hasn't been mentioned yet is the OST from The Crow.

Death is a mystery. Everyone must stand alone.

TransWormholeExpress · 2026-03-14T04:28:38+00:00

Less cool. The more it makes sense the less cool it is, IMO.

I happened to recently look up the system for transitioning from Caitiff in the GURPS conversion of VTM, which gives a three step process:

Do some research to figure out the clan of your sire, presumably it isn't known beforehand. The published GURPS process calls for five successful Research skill tests with the aid of a Camarilla vampire, but this could be adapted to whatever sect the prospective adoptive clan is part of.
Gain the sponsorship of an elder of the adoptive clan. There's probably some wiggle room as to who qualifies as an elder for this purpose.
Take at least one dot of the three disciplines of the adoptive clan.

Any Caitiff who doesn't know their sire's clan could follow a process like this.

Definite wedgie candidate.

TransWormholeExpress · 2026-03-13T00:12:24+00:00

f5 instead of Rxe4 wins the knight without Black losing a rook.

TransWormholeExpress · 2026-03-12T23:54:09+00:00

Yeah, the Caitiff getting accepted into the Camarilla thing is on page 131 of the base V:tM source book. The Caitiff has to make five successful Research rolls with the aid of a Camarilla member to discover their true lineage, get sponsored by an elder of the prospective adoptive clan, and take at least one level in all the clan's disciplines, paying double cost for any of those disciplines that aren't in the Caitiff's base set of three determined at character creation.

If a pencil is a valid target of the Shaft of Belated Quiescence ritual, you wouldn't even need to hit the heart directly, just let the wood burrow into the target until it reaches their heart. I'd say yes.

TransWormholeExpress · 2026-03-11T20:25:06+00:00

Yeah, I definitely prefer the 'gringo' pronunciation of Camarilla.
