    Seattle got started on Penny Arcade. Same ST. And not to my knowledge. Seattle is like that. LA was really obvious that there was someone going 'this is what you're going to do so we can fit all of these things in the episode, and let's hope we don't have to steer.' New York's season 1...

    LA by Night was the worst one, I couldn't listen to Annabelle sniffling for a half hour nearly every episode. New York by Night and Seattle by Night are much better, imo. LA and New York feel a bit kayfabe-ish to me. Way too on the rails, like they discuss what's going to happen on the episode...

    Shadows wasn't bad. I liked it. I think it's worth it. It's got multiple endings, multiple characters, it explains all of the relevant lore through a codex or whatever so it doesn't waste actual scenes on info dumping. There's a prologue. I felt somewhat immersed in Julia's life. Coteries, not...

    Oh... I'm not surprised, tbh. It was always going to happen, especially when they started doing stuff like adding in a random 'Hey, mask! There's a plague about!' scene in Shadows of New York. I bet it has good music and art though, if it took anything from the previous pseudo VN.

    So, reaching back to Lilith and the botched Awakening of Caine, the short answer is Vitae is, to put poetically, the sanguine essence of power. It's, to put in other, less fancy words, super blood charged with magic. Lilith shared her (already cursed) blood with (already cursed) Caine and that...

    I'm not surprised. Very few games make it out of this kind of development hell. Even fewer make it out as good games. My guess was the first studio was too activist (VtM is, by it's nature, a very political game, but my guess is that studio wanted IRL politics and went in hamfistedly and...

    My unpopular WoD opinion? I don't think I particularly have any that's unpopular. Mmmm. 5th ed will probably be the best MtA edition mechanically if they ever get there. It might accident it's way into the best balance across all levels of play. I'm super hoping the hunger/rage/desperation(?)...

    Ah I get the '5 games will never see' then. That sounds about right, though.

    How old is that video? WtO and WtA both got video games. Wraith's was a VR game so small audience. And as bad as Earthblood was it still exists.

    Yeah, it's not gonna be anywhere near as good as VtMB, and it's going to bring in a bunch of tourists to VtM. But it at least looks like it's gonna be middle of the road as a video game. As a story it's probably already better than Coteries of New York. But it's not Bloodlines or Shadows of...

    Just watched the VtMB2 Gameplay trailer that came out today. I was impressed they took the time to find someone who actually knew how to play a video game, if barely. I'm less than impressed with the dialogue wheel. And the way Fabian has to interject something before it opens. Like thank...

    Yeah. Agree. To be fair to Bloodhunt though, it might not be a particularly good VtM game, but it's apparently a banging Battle Royale game. Too bad it's shut(ting) down.

    I thought I heard something like that. I'm surprised they did so though, because I don't think the Wraith game did very well. I'm also pretty sure VR isn't all that popular. I mean, it's got it's adherents and it's niches, but I've yet to hear any 'you must play this game and it's VR only.'...

    Iunno, I think an Elder could come across one of those Thinbloods that do their alchemy in people and be like, 'Tell me more.'

    You know, that makes me think you've never dealt with Paradox. Or only started with them very, very recently. And probably none of their 4X games except for CK3. CK3 was their best release in a very long time, and it still wasn't as good as it could have been. That's the normal model, creating...

    This is a bit understandable. To do Malks right you have to redo all the dialogue. Just like doing Nossies means you have to make the underways more interesting than VTMB1. I don't like it, but I can understand why we have to wait on Nossies and Malks. What I'm not a fan of is that they went...

    Yeah. It's Johnny Vamphand the newb. My expectations were already low, but they've started tunneling. A ghoul, freshly turned baby Vamp, or even just a thinblood that was there when you woke up and is now your bitch for your character to explain basic bitch shit to would have been much...

    But they actually do that... In V5 for sure. Where they're about as ugly as the Nossie dude from Kindred the Embrace. You'd have to add a bit more in older editions.

    Ruin all of their settings, I assume, is what shadowdice meant. I cherry pick the fuck out of lore off the Wiki for the most part, for convivence, and so my opinion on the oWoD and WoD5 lore changes are pretty milquetoast. They didn't do Hunter or (are doing) Werewolf justice from my...

    I mean it's Appalachia in the early 1900s. Like, there's little to no electricity, there are hungry things in the woods that want to eat you or live inside your flesh. But the mines haven't gone dry yet, but the mines are horrific deathtraps by virtue of being mines and then there's things in...
