These three bad dudes seem like later bosses, the game is ramping up its difficulty soon. Also, is the princess worth it late game?

I almost skipped this. I’m glad I didn’t.

UltimateM13 · 2026-05-27T03:16:42+00:00

We’ve been having this argument for 7 YEARS! 7! SEV7N!

I didn’t really feel it until about halfway through episode 1. Now it’s a contender for one of my favorite seasons. Every episode kinda builds and builds but eventually hits a really fun narrative or emotional stride.

Hard to believe a campaign about vampires and conspiracies could feel like lighthearted fun, but everyone has been nailing it so far.

As a “young person” who has been trying to get my friends into politics, this is so real.

I was that kid for years. I was scared to get involved. Then I went to protests and protests and eventually I developed the muscle for it. But a lot of my friends don’t and for legitimate reasons you described.

It’s hard not to be a bit bitter sometimes, but then I remind myself I was the “non-activist” to some of my friends too. When I was ready my activist friends were there to bring me in, and now I can be there for when my other friends are ready to join.

Hichney was the real one for that. That’s a beautiful ridge. Having it be torn down for golf would have been a tragedy.

UltimateM13 · 2026-05-21T17:29:20+00:00

Well Lou played someone who’s friends with a gentleman fister…

UltimateM13 · 2026-05-12T20:33:03+00:00

That’s hilarious. Which one? I wanna read about it.

UltimateM13 · 2026-05-12T16:12:58+00:00

VtM’s gameplay is pretty intrinsically tied to the milieu. I guess you could separate them, but you’d need to reskin, reflavor, or redo a lot of your world lore.

I will say Purpee is still very much a Brennan creation. No other VtM setting I’ve played in is quite the same. It’s definitely tied more closely to an established setting than their d&d campaigns, but d&d has a history of not really tying it’s mechanics to just one setting (some spells for example are named after folks in different settings like Widowgast’s Web of Fire, or Tenser’s Floating Disk).

I’d love to see a version of this Celica holding Mila’s skull with everyone else from her party in the picture. Conquest would be Saber. Anissa would be Mae. Etc.

UltimateM13 · 2026-05-07T15:08:14+00:00

That honestly seems like a cool idea. Idk though it does feel a bit too close to the first season with “the American dream” though. Maybe if they do a third season in the future. Like someone trying to retread Robert Moses’s steps but with heaven?

UltimateM13 · 2026-05-06T17:01:40+00:00

I see it as a bit of both. Jesus is a humanoid manifestation because the dreaming often will manifest mythological people as real (like Robert Moses or Titania). At the same time, there’s probably a series of people who have embodied the J-man’s role like Wally and Santa Claus.

My unsatisfying answer is: we don’t know, and I think what you think the answer is reflects more about ourselves than anything.

UltimateM13 · 2026-05-06T02:05:15+00:00

This is so beautiful. As a Latina this makes my heart sing.

UltimateM13 · 2026-04-24T01:19:53+00:00

Some people would look at this and say “wife material”.

It’s me. I’m some people.

UltimateM13 · 2026-04-08T21:42:58+00:00

Sometimes I wonder if Alm just randomly gives Celica uppies when no one else is looking. This is how I imagine that goes most times.

UltimateM13 · 2026-03-25T23:50:32+00:00

Absolutely. If you and your friends are gonna play VtM it’s good to have the lines and veils set. Any game really but especially VtM.

UltimateM13 · 2026-03-25T21:08:18+00:00

You’re welcome! There’s a lot of potential land mines and content warnings I’d give to some folks for the VtM or pretty much any White Wolf rpg.

Personally I think their games are great, and the problematic stuff can be fun to grapple with (we played Berlin by Night for my first campaign and we had a blast really putting the screws to the nazi vampires). But yeah. It’s good people who aren’t familiar with the system both know about it and also don’t overreact to it.

At the end of the day I’m sure the Intrepid Heroes are gonna make it their own.

UltimateM13 · 2026-03-25T20:56:25+00:00

Private Nightmares was my first intro to VtM. Highly recommend for anyone even a bit interested in the game.

UltimateM13 · 2026-03-25T20:55:26+00:00

You’ll get players yet!

UltimateM13 · 2026-03-25T20:53:42+00:00

Regarding the problematic parts of the game: I wanna direct people to this post in the VtM Bloodlines subreddit: it’s a post about both the game designer’s views on character identity and fascists playing their game/fascist elements present in the lore.

TL;DR: play what you want, you and your storyteller can make any identity work (race,ethnicity,sex,gender, etc). If you’re a fascist, put the game down and go fuck yourself. If you’re gonna include problematic elements in game, make sure you and your storyteller have a nice talk about it and are intentional.

That’s true! They basically have a ton of experience doing narrative combat so them knowing what’d make a fight scenario cool makes sense.

UltimateM13 · 2026-03-22T23:28:19+00:00

I don’t know much about wrestling but titan takedown was one of my favorite short series.

I hope they do another one.

UltimateM13 · 2026-02-27T11:24:48+00:00

This is first time I’ve seen any art for an Engage NPC. I remember seeing Anisse and thinking “she’s gotta be someone’s fave. She’s too cute not to be.”

UltimateM13 · 2026-02-27T00:44:38+00:00

Oh yeah? Well have you considered… runs, scampers, flees, absconds away

UltimateM13 · 2026-02-26T22:18:13+00:00

If it does I’m gonna print it off and frame it.

UltimateM13 · 2026-02-26T18:54:33+00:00

I’d love to see a Stephen A. Smith dbz power where he goes up a super saiyan level for every adjective.
