Vampire: The Dark Ages Clans and Roads of the Darkest Dungeon Heroes

I'm doing this because I've recently gotten into Darkest Dungeon, and I thought I'd mash my two favorite gothic RPGs together.

(just pretend the Duelist and Runaway are in the picture)

Bigby (Abomination): Tzimisce (has trouble controlling his zulo form as a result of a curse or Tremere experimentation); Road of Humanity

Josephine (Antiquarian): Ravnos or Tremere; Road of Sin

Missandei (Arbalest): Ventrue (I like to imagine she's Barristan's childe) or Brujah (if she weren't Barristan's childe); Road of Humanity

Tardif (Bounty Hunter): Greek Gangrel; Road of the Beast (Path of the Hunter)

Reynauld (Crusader): Ventrue; Road of Heaven (Path of Retribution)

Sahar (Duelist:) Lasombra; Road of Humanity (Path of Vigor)

Damian (Flagellant): Malkavian or Nosferatu (especially in DD2); Road of Heaven (Path of Penitence)

Audrey (Grave Robber): Toreador; Road of Sin (Path of Pleasure)

Boudica (Hellion): Gangrel; Road of the Beast

Dismas (Highwayman): Brujah; Road of Humanity

Willam (Houndmaster): Gangrel; Road of Humanity (Path of Community)

Sarmenti (Jester): Malkavian; Road of Sin

Baldwin (Leper): Nosferatu; Road of Humanity

Barristan (Man-at-Arms): Ventrue; Road of Kings (Path of Chivalry)

Margaret (Musketeer): Toreador; Road of Humanity

Alhazred (Occultist): Lasombra Abyss mystic; Road of the Abyss

Paracelsus (Plague Doctor): Cappadocian; Road of Bones

Bonnie (Runaway): Caitiff; Road of Humanity

Amani (Shieldbreaker): Assamite Warrior, former Setite ghoul; Road of Blood

Junia (Vestal): Healer Salubri; Road of Heaven

Let me know what you think! I'd love to hear other interpretations.

Currently replaying Bloodlines as a Ventrue (with the Runaway background), and so far I’m loving playing my dude as some poor, rebellious kid who’s just tired of being told what to do and thinks the Anarchs are really cool and wants them to think he’s cool too so that they’ll accept him.

In my head, whenever he goes to the Last Round, he tries to act a bit too cool in a “how do you do, my fellow Anarchs” way, and just ends up looking like a huge dork. He also looks up to Nines as a mentor figure and maybe ends up copying some of the ways in which he acts.

I just really love the concept of a Ventrue who wants to be an Anarch and wants to prove that they aren’t a dick like their clanmates.

This is basically how I imagine the relationship between my current fledgling and Nines.

Poor Chunk can’t quite seem to figure out how to get around this lightpost.

(NSFW kinda) I already scandalized Reddit with this question, so now it's time to bring it over to Tumblr.

So, most fluids in a vampire’s body (with some exceptions like saliva and the stuff in their eyeballs) are replaced with vitae. This is why vampires cry and sweat blood.

This leads me to ask a question that, in my opinion, is extremely important and even necessary to understanding Kindred:

Do vampires jizz blood?

I mean, according to the Revised edition Storytellers Handbook, Kindred don’t have reproductive fluids like semen, and “when female vampires spend a blood point to engage in sexual acts, their lubrication is a thin blood.” (page 20). So assuming a vampire used the necessary amount of blood to have sex, could they ejaculate, and would they nut vitae? Cuz if so, that’s metal as fuck.

The Handbook also says that science “takes a back seat to the setting,” and I’m sure this is entirely up to the individual ST, but still, I want to hear your thoughts.

Here's a link to my original post.

It’s super frustrating to me how Phyre doesn’t seem to react to anything. Like Jesus Christ they’ve been in torpor for a whole century, duing which a lot of important shit happened.

They don’t seem to be overwhelmed by all the new 21st century technology they’re suddenly confronted with.

If they’re a Tremere, they don’t react to being told that the Vienna Chantry was destroyed.

If they’re a Lasombra, they don’t ask any questions upon being told that their clan joined the Camarilla.

They don’t ask questions or seem shocked or angered or pleased by any of the updates they’re given on Kindred society, nor are they shown to be confused by the modern world. It feels like such a huge missed opportunity for characterization (which the game already doesn’t let the player do a lot of) and a massive oversight on the writers’ part.

Like, imagine if the player had the option to make Lasombra Phyre enraged upon learning their clan joined with the Camarilla, thus giving the player the option to side with the Sabbat and work with them to take over the city. Or if they were an antitribu who sided with the Camarilla before going into torpor, they could say something like “I’m glad to see our Sabbat brethren have finally come to their senses” or something like that, I don’t know. Just give us SOMETHING.

I just had to get this off my chest because it’s one of many things that’s been bugging me about Bloodlines 2.

A bit of a follow up to my previous post.

I just think they’re neat, ok

I took a medieval history class last semester, and I’ve been reading a lot of Vampire: The Dark Ages books, and now I have a new obsession.
