This was a great help, thanks

I miss my original copy that was embossed. My replacement is not.

i find sacrifice of the child very thematically resonant, its creation, destruction, love, hate, betrayal, and arguably one of the greatest pains and emotional and sensational highs. and if mechanically it's not super viable you can always change that, the book is just a set of prompts. for pure flavor and thematic and dramatic value i really like that power. imagine the character arc of embracing someone mentoring and teaching them the ways of the bahari and then finally diblarizing them! oof the drama of betrayal is nearly unbearable, delicious, it's almost too much for me, a twisted love, a painful lesson for all parties involved.

I think H5 is an excellent point of entry into the World of Darkness for new players, as it is more straightforward and lighter on rules and systems while still sharing the basic mechanics and feel of the WoD setting. I also like the chronicle book "Lines drawn in Blood" that released since, which has some interesting stories and antagonists.

I've watched quite a few videos on how to play this game. But you video is by far the most informative and easy to digest. Thank you, friend! 🙏👍

This sounds like a lot more interesting version of the Sabbat then anything witten earlier, which was basically the edgy Camarilla, and therefore boring as fuck. I never liked the Sabbat as "the other superpower" to begin with. This sounds like bringing the vampires from Lost boys or From Dusk Till Dawn to cause some havoc. Which could prove a nice little distraction from the regular vampiric political programming.

This book cemented my hate for V5. Will not purchase a product, will pirate bloodlines 2. I'm just done.

Sigil is officially pronounced with a hard G, and the reason for that is so the locals can recognize outsiders by how they pronounce the City's name.

Great video, very informative Having said that, this is not what I was expecting... Or looking for. I did want the classes to be firebender, waterbender, etc. I did want to reduce opponents hit points to zero. Meh

In terms of what she could do, maybe if she learns that Lodin is alive she can nurse him back to sanity and help him regain the throne

Expect mages they refuse her

The artwork for Monsterhearts is trash. Look like a bunch of slack-tivists and trans-trenders trying super hard to look bad ass, but have never touched grass let alone picked up something heavy to put it down and pick it up again.

Great video. Very well explained👍

Nice vid ❤

a loresheet mithras would be a cool idea, great vid!

Its one thing to drink from other kindred, its another to be a diablerie addict.

While i like several elements of this game, i dont think it's for me or my table. This game just feels really boxed in. It feels like you don't have much verity when it comes to how you can interact with the game. I'm not really sure who this game is for? Because it seems to be aimed at a younger audience. However, the combat mechanics seem too complicated for them. The game also seems like it doesn’t want you to even fight. I think it's for older fans who want to relive the show through ttrpgs.... Great video, thanks for saving me some cash.

Man, I wish I liked this system as much as I liked the show. My group is much closer to a wargame group than a true RP group, so coming from DnD, Deadlands, and Edge of the Empire, the fact that the system sort of blended and homogenized the way fighting and damage worked just didn’t get our group excited. Still trying it because we love to support local, small devs, but I can’t wait for them to add some more advanced combat mechanics or something.

Within 10 minutes of reading the starter set rulebook, I started calling this "Character Development: The Roleplaying Game" to my wife. I love that every little action is driven by the question of "How would my character react to this situation".

My take away from the story of Lilith has always been that she is an embodiment of the Wyrm. Adam, an Embodiment of the Weaver, having tried to control both Lilith and Eve in brutal fashion. And Eve, an Embodiment of the Wyld. Jehovah is either a Spirit reflective of Material Reality, or simply a Collective Spirit of Humanity. Maybe both, even. It was said by the Garou that Caine ate of the Flesh of the Wyrm, after he was swallowed whole by it, and that's where his corruption came from. Meanwhile, in Vampiric Folklore, he drank of Lilith's blood...a being who is known to birth monsters of the void, neither Angel nor Demon. The Tree of Life and Knowledge is likely Symbolic of Gaia herself, symbolic of a being of transcendental life, and an epitome of the Spirit World, a High Celestial, possibly trapped by Jehovah for one reason or another, or discoverd by him as a consequence of Material reality (being that the Umbra and the Physical world were one and the same at some point, with no divide.)

AT BEST, an ordinary human hunter can only kill Fledgling Vampires. There is NO WAY they can fight a Vampire Elder and win. No F*ing WAY! A Vampire Elder just use Celerity and Potence, the hunters stand no chance!

Enjoying this series if videos! Helpful to me for updating a couple key NPC in my world for v5. A Ravnos and a Setite 'power couple' in my world.

My favorite Loresheet is "Descendent of Roger de Camden" constant flavor everywhere in every dot.

This just seems to justify not playing this edition compared to V20. I do like some of the mechanics from V5, like Hunger, but the rest of it just seems broken and worse than the previous editions. Odds are, I'd do a hybrid with V5 as the base and incorporate older systems into the new game, like Allies and Domain.

I want to subscribe, but you are 666 subscribers and do not want to change that number.

I imagine they gave the "projects" to use like the clocks (I think that's what they are called) from blades in the dark. I have a series of rolls that happen in game prep that advance an antagonist in the background story, it shifts depending on PC actions. An example might be say the hunter is out on a prowl and the right number comes out, the hunters know about a place the PCs frequent because they were spotted doing what the characters did. That opens it up to other kindred being spotted, maybe a ghoul getting nabbed if the moment is right

I think random tables are by definition one of the more useful tools to add to a setting's DM Screen, since by definition they can actually be used during play and allow the GM to let the world speak for itself and feel lived in, specially in exploration where the characters actively engage and make decisions of how to interact with the world and traverse it. My main problem is that the tables here are much shorter than the ones in the book and aren't divided by adventuring tier or thematics. I also think it'd be a perfect place to put in the planar infusion traits for Morte's planar parade, so that you can use them at a glance with any encounter without having to edit a statblock and when forgetting that they are there. The portals and key tables is thematic and cool, but less used in improvisation and more used in preparation, which is why I don't like it in the DM screen as much. In contrast, I think the condition panel is the worst part of it, it's too big, the art takes up too much space, and it's information that is found everywhere else. Condition Cards make more sense since it's important for the players to know how they work. Taking out this space and using it for tables would be more helpful as a DM toolbox.

Sigil officially rhymes with "wiggle" but I'll probably always call it Sid-jell.

I'm looking forward to Buying Werewolf book by Renegade. Is it any difference with Whitewolf's version (apart from the cover)

Yeah, the frenzy break in "Descendant Of Tyler" is far better. It's a "now is not the time for this" all-stop to frenzy. Bond Breaker is honestly a tad OP, imo. That'd give you an easy license for just causing utter chaos in a kindred city, lol.

Planescape Torment is my favorite CRPG! Morte was the MVP of the game!

I’d like to see a return to black and white art.

Thanks for the review, well done man. But I need to point something. When U say: "In V5, these difficulties are now 2 (straightforward), 3 (normal), and 4 (challenging) - (...) For a challenging task, you now need to be rolling eight dice to have a 50/50 shot at succeeding (barring a critical)." That's not statistically accurate. to achieve 3 sucess in your roll, you'll need 7 dice in your pool.

This is the thing that I do not understand, if the Sabbat just completely threw away the Pseudo-Masquerade. What's keeping the Sabbat packs from targeting the 2 Inquisition? Like bombing public buildings of the governments and things of that nature. I think it would be a nightmare for any country to control Sabbat going the terror route, and its not like the Sabbat do not have the reason to do that kinda thing.

I hope you do this for VtM 20th Ed also!

10:45, but what about disciplines? A presence 2/3 should auto-win on feeding.

Lines and veils in games are for wokesters.

Super well done. About to run the starter box for my group and this is a nice primer. I might make them all watch it.

Excellent description! I’ve played a lot of Dnd, but excited about the avatar world. It’s hard for me to comprehend the concept of no hps, but I think I’m finally starting to understand the system. Thanks 🙏

Hunter: The Wokeness

Hecata is so dumb in lore. It makes no sense.

Well pet and reviewed, weve been loving it since the Kickstarters were delivered. ;) Now to get a streamed game going!

Hi, do you know by any chance where I can get the old white wolf hardcover version? I used to have one and lost it in one of my moves, it was my favorite book ever. Still trying to find a copy…

This video needs to be higher up in popularity. It's highly informative but succinct. Every new AtlA Legends player should watch this.

So, my take on the 'true story' of Caine and Lilith is that Caine is the 1st Vampire. Lilith, however, is the 0th Generation. The thing is that Adam and Lilith were God's OG couple. Caine was always meant to be insanely powerful. The Awakening was also a blood adoption, so it awakens Caine to his powers. The ones that he maybe always should have had if his mother had been Lilith. The subsequent betrayal is just a bad break up, imo, Caine wanted to leave and explore and deal with his personal curse (which hadn't been fixed by becoming even more powerful) and Lilith wanted to make gardens. Classic 'they want different things' situation made worse because of their natures.

Ive watched so many videos to prepare for/understan this game and this is definitely the best one by far. Excellent work!!

Truly an excellent breakdown of the mechanics!

Nice. i avoided the KS because a, most licensed rpgs only scratch the surface of what the world shows in its media, and b, i had pledged to way too many KS campaigns at the time. Now that i see it on store shelves (friggin target had a copy of the starter set) i'm very pleased with what i'm hearing. it sounds like it understands its origins and plays to its strengths while actually having some mechanical depth and feeling like a ROLE playing game, not a ROLL playing game. my bundle is on the way.

this was very helpful for orienting three of our GMS for approaching this resource.

Big thumbs up for the Rush lyric!! Good, helpful video, thanks for the easily digestable non spoiler review.
