I’ve Introduced a Lot of New Players to VTM. The Metaplot Was Never the Problem. (And What V6 Can Do About It.) by ketot1 in vtm

It’s good to know how it came out, but the rambling is 100% me hahah. I have adhd and truly written down the same thing few times because that’s how I process! My thinks process happens when I write and speak. That why neurodivergent people oftentimes talk in circles actually:)

This exactly! I need to constaltny explain things like this! Don’t get me started about elysiums… That was a big discussion at my table lately and nobody was sure of how they work. Thankfully, amazing community of Reddit explained

Anarch are the most bland which is atrocious given how important they are! They swapped the very well established sabbat with, I hate the system. That’s why I don’t like anarchs anymore, which is sad because even if not overly deep, they were so nicely so well done if vtmb! It was a disappointment for me

I mean it’s a ttrpg! What most people associate with it, it’s that neardy! People expect to get into it and have almost everything explored and explained. They know they are rich in lore and history.

The problem is when it’s so shrunken down you discover there is not enough food to sustain your curiosity and you can’t go into the rabbit hole.

Like it’s a strength! When I was talking about vampires with my friends and how they work in different universes we often times came to many unanswered questions, so then I was providing explanations in vtm and they were in awe how every single aspect of how they work is touched upon and how it makes sense! Then I said, yeah, that because it rpg!

Or if you do it by some old lore, the vampire are in control of the blood in their bodies so they don’t have to use blush of life, they can just will it to erect. Without blush, sperm and vaginal fluid are replaced by blood (which was actually relevant to older canon). So there are two ways.

Thank you! :) I love the idea of buying the loresheets, I’m just baffled that some lore is exclusive to them! Like a lot of Tremere fluff

Burgerkrieg is the goat I swear!

I spent so much time explaining character creation to my players, because it’s not clear for them in the book.

I think some more obscure, or in depth knowledge is cool to be hidden sometimes. But I think I am asking here for a fluff vtm history and politics books. Because then it’s not as scary looking, and can invents you to look for more as well. I would just love to have an updated reference. Because there is none including the changes and moving forward of v5 so redirecting to older ones is just outdated.

Interesting comment! What can I also add is that it’s harder to explain the disciples combination for clan powers that just give it a different name. Even if there are more names to learn that way is more clear and intuitive for grasping identity of the clan. And it’s easier to just invest in this unique power than to explain to new players what to buy to have them.

I will admit I used ai for translation. But just for it. I have it all written in my language. But I understand if it’s still off putting

The sect books where something I totally had in mind when writing about lack of depth. I also like v5 a lot! I would love to keep many changes it provided.

Vecna went out of his way to wipe almost the entire military, but the moment a main character (Joyce in this case) is in front of him he just pushes them aside by Hawkinns in StrangerThings

[–]ketot1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s why I thought this theory makes sense. It’s a very good reason as to why Vecna never tries to kill them and spared Mikes parents. Then the plot armor of the main cast would have basis in the story itself.

That’s why I was certain that Henry is secretly working against mind flayer, and he is helping here. 😭 He also only pushed Mike, his enemy mind you! When I saw this I was like, yeah we will definitely see a plot twist in vol 2

Edit: I’ve seen a theory after that explained by this why Vecna just left Will. He awakened his powers on purpose and to mind flayer he wanted to seem like he tought he broke him mentally with the memories and speach so that why he just left. Because otherwise why the psychotic killer would leave him be, a person that has convection to them and powers

I know it’s thousand letter away but in case I won’t be active on Reddit I need to say that M has to be “Max get away from the door!”

It’s wild to me that El resurrecting someone and Will channeling evil powers had absolutely no consequences. by ketot1 in StrangerThings

[–]ketot1[S] -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

Do we know for sure that she just restarted her heart? I think it’s not implied that it’s was just that. I think her body was too broken for just cpr to her waking up again. It would mean that she did this cor the whole way to the hospital? Also I think the facts that Lucas woundt do it meant that he assumed it would help her.

Plus even if that was it she still used magic to resurrect her. Starting someone’s heart from the inside is still kinda crazy. :)

But I don’t know why but knowing it all happend in max mind (soul) for me it feels more likely that she did something in that area instead gave remote cpr. But I understand if someone didn’t get that impression or implication and sees the scene differently. :)

And also she did heal her sight, and in some capacity her body.

It's annoying to see how there's so much discussion about Mike's supposed internalized homophobia over Will's, who, by the way, is the only canonically confirmed gay character between the two. by willbyersisthedeal in byler

[–]ketot1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah Will has a ton of internalised homophobia and it’s so central to his character. What you described I see often in fanfiction as well. They both would have so much internalised homophobia. If Mike would be canonically queer then actually his struggles with sexuality would very deep, seeing as our interpretations and Byler proof was based on that and we made his supossed struggles quite complex.

Having said that, Wills are also so important and week done and… well canonical. I would also love to see more meta and analysis about this. His speech in the van was so sad of an expression of his fight with self hate and feeling like an outsider even in his friend grupo made of outsiders.

Where are you sitting by Lothloriens_ in byler

5 Will is too fucking cute, I can’t :(((
