Gangrel - Out of the wild, into the bushes

1. They vehemently deny it, but many kindred would eat their own fingers for your ability to explode into an animal to escape social situations.

2. Like kine to McDonald’s, so do you feel drawn to dip your toes into Camarilla drama once in a while.

3. You go cross-eyed after Toreador spends six hours updating you on all the gossip that accumulated during your absence. Having hacked into everybody’s lives, Nosferatu spends another three telling you what really happened.

4. If I hear any of that 'All Kindred are one with the Camarilla whether they know it or not' bullshit one more time, I swear to God I'm going to beat someone into torpor. - Beckett reciting the Gangrel Motto, Date Unknown

5. You tell everybody you acquired your scar in a fierce battle against a werewolf. It was actually caused by the signet ring on the fist of a very jumpy Ventrue you unwisely approached from the bushes next to his office building.

6. Which is why you are not allowed to approach the Ventrue Prince of Chicago without an appointment anymore.

7. Kindred are amazed by your rich and intricate knowledge of Camarilla secrets in spite of your conspicuous absence from any human settlements. In reality, it turns out that rats really like to gossip.

8. You suspect the Nosferatu’s insistence on you joining social media is solely motivated by their desire to hack it afterwards. Otherwise fine fellows, nice warrens.

9. You once decided to give the mariner lifestyle a try but decided to head back on land once that first anvil hit you.

10. It’s delightful to see the Tremere paranoia reaching delirium whenever you are around. If you are in town, they blood bind all the rats in their Chantries to keep them from talking.

Pretending I didn't buy the Bundle of Holding Vampire the Masquerade .pdfs just for digital access to the art.

Pfffft. Like I'm going to PLAY this game.

I traded all my friends some time ago for a top-of-the-line gaming PC.

I figured I finally had to own this stuff, in some form. I knew a pen-and-paper RPG nerd who was in choir with me when I was in like 8th grade, and he had this image here on a tshirt, and once I saw it, it started doing amazing things to my brain that haven't stopped.

I never played it. I don't even know that kid's name, and I barely ever talked to him. But this image - this fucking ruined my life. Then at some point a couple years later I worked a job at a Halloween haunted warehouse with a guy who was into Masquerade, and we would spend the time in between him as a monster eating my face in front of people, with me sitting there, having him tell me the ENTIRE game. And then at some point he brought some of the books to work and I borrowed one for a week, and I barely avoided masturbating to the pictures. This should tell you what year this was - I SCANNED a bunch of them with a flat, single-purpose "table top" scanner, and saved them as giant .bmps.

It wasn't until like 2000-something that I played the Bloodlines video game - not right after it came out, but after it dropped on Steam. I bought it because I googled the name, and saw this picture, and went "FUCK YES IT'S THAT THING I DON'T CARE IF IT SUCKS I NEED IT INSIDE ME." And the game was literally broken and virtually unplayable, but it was the BEST WRITTEN GAME I HAD EVER SEEN, and the application of the rules of the game universe was everything I had ever wanted to submerge myself in. So I've played it about 47 times, and now that I have the chance to buy .pdfs of the books for less than $10, you better believe I'm going to.

Yes, I know there have been other editions after Masquerade. I've wiki'd them. They sound like they just de-trope Masquerade. Which is fine from a creative standpoint, but the ENTIRE POINT of this game was that you could play an array of vampires from global vampire myths and popular culture, and see how they interact. Compromising that for original world-building is a waste of time, when most of us are only here to see how a Dracula would react to a Count Orlok. And if your new plan introduces what amount to new mage classes into a vampire RPG, I appreciate the effort, but also, fuck your nerd ass. Don't ruin my gothic vampire fun with mathematical fire-casting horseshit. Sorry, it's just not for me.

I might actually even read these books this time.

Get yours: [x] (You have six days left from tonight. 10% of whatever you choose to pay, for whichever bundle you want, goes to a charity that is basically the Make-a-Wish Foundation, but for terminally ill adults.
