I feel like without house ruling something like ignoring dot limits cost doesn't make sense unless you lean into the fame aspect since you could just have 5 dots in resources (as you need to have resources one to have it)

So apparently V5 Core got a japanese version...with actually good art cover.
Now, I don't know if they redo the horrible art and layout inside the V5 Core, but if they did, I am willing to get a paper copy imported. Even if I never plan to play V5 again.
Unfortunately from what I hear insides are the same.
You had one job Paradox!

This is one of the few books for V5 with actually appealing art
Art direction for V5 is all over the place

We got Hunter...ugh "The Reckoning" game Deathwish dev diary with some gameplay.
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC15DkOQwWQ
It looks better than Bloodlines 2 and would fit perfectly as a Hunters Hunted game...even if it isn't actual HTR game in my eyes. Looks good though.
(Speaking of better than Bloodlines 2, another game by the publisher of this game is Dracula: The Disciple. And it looks interesting!)
We also got, Werewolf the Apocalypse - Rageborn trailer. It is based on W5, it looks...fine I suppose but gameplay makes me want to play Earthblood. Not really excited for this, even if it wasn't W5.

Having come back from looking through different WoD lore channels, I get irritated with people who go "Fascism" when describing the Sabbat and Camarilla. Something that even several WOD writers fall into.
I have encountered, like, one WoD channel that goes "No, the factions of vampires made in late 1400s are not based around a 20th century ideology. The ancillae and neonates packs might ascribe to it but the founders, if they recognize that word, at most opportunistically made use of them for their own goals. We are monsters with our own ideologies which vastly predate the ideas of 20th century Axis Powers because we people who founded it are Over 500 years old."
In universe, I understand a Neonate using the word. I understand an Anarch using the word as an insult against the camarilla. I am highly irritated the v5 camarilla book unironically using it when it is supposed to be written in-character.
The Camarilla are largely based on feudalism and manorialism due to them being vampires that divide up land which they use to "Farm" the "Kine" and guard their territories from what they consider to be poachers. The Sabbat have a huge amount of Catholic Church imagery in-universe because of how heavily influenced they were by the Lasombra which had a large amount of their members be southern European catholics in their time alive and had often infiltrated communities that used much of the same terminology such as Priest, Bishop, Archbishop, and Inquisitor.
Gerontocracy, Tribalism, and other terms far more accurately describe those factions and someone can turn the word back on the Anarchs if they felt like it using the same ideological theories and critiques that the writers very poorly reference.
NuWoD tries to ignore a lot of their early editions. Hunter really should have gone by a new name even if I prefer Vaguely Winchester Brothers and Numina (Witch-Hunters) to the Imbued. The Dracula game makes me think of Amnesia the Dark Descent for some reason.
