I really liked this video. I felt like it really gave me greater insight into the setting of Curseborne and a lot of cool flavorful information on the Iscariots. It makes me want to play an Iscariot character. I hope to see more videos about Curseborne families. I also liked the Jesus Christ Superstar reference!
Curseborne is fast approaching 500% of its funding target! Hop on board this horror RPG campaign and help us hit some more stretch goals: www.kickstarter.com/projects/200664283/curseborne-tabletop-roleplaying-game 💀💀💀
Its awesome to see you creating this. Lovely stuff. Do you plan to do all Thirty One Families in Curseborne or are you just grabbing at those that interest you?
I hope there will be Mortal Accursed in the future, because while these lineage are certainly Cursed, they still have a lot of benefit to balance that curse. So, maybe a Mortal Accursed would be those who have more traditional type og Curse like bad luck, ugly to everyone, forgettable, but develop technique to channel their Curse to their benefit.
@@TheGentlemanGamer not to say they are a reinvention or copy, i just use comparisons as touchstones. They have a pretty interesting monster/ethos duality. Seems every lineage has one like that.
these iscariot cannibals remind me of a episode of the 2001 Night visions horror tv anthology show ep. 12 Cargo, where a hapless sailor discovers they are smuggling cannibalistic supernatural creatures who masquerade as humans into the USA to serve as hitmen for American criminal organizations, their back story , they were used by the Czars to terrorize Russian citizens and used by the Russian mafia as hitmen.
The Judas myth of the Iscariots reminds me of an encounter I had with a group of black hearts the other night. They seemed convinced that their true progenitor was Caine, something about how he was the first outcast and cursed to wander alone like they were. Weird bunch, who’d idolize someone like that?
I am strongly reminded of the 1992 movie Innocent Blood, where a woman eats people's neck flesh and drinks their blood - but always shoots her victims in the head afterwards, to prevent them from rising as undead such as her. She is revealed to be a sort of ghoul or vampire-like creature with glowing eyes, but she tries her best to kill only the wicked and generally seems like a person trying to be moral while plagued by an unrelenting hunger she can barely contain and sometimes fails to contain. The film features both memorable performances and scenes - so much so that I recall a fair few of them nearly three decades later. I couldn't resist mentioning it here, given how similar some of the elements are.
from the author Tim Curran from two of his short stories The Plague Maiden(Horrors of War) & Maggots an idea: the Iscariots have a boogeyman something even they consider a myth and they fear called the Lord of Worms. Basically its a parasitic hive mind sentinent maggots who possess mortals and force their charges to eat dead rotting meat with dead humans their favorite meal. The humans they infest are kept alive by the maggots , wounds are regenerated etc. if their infested victim ides somehow like brain death something the maggots cant regenerate , the maggots feed on the dead human charge and go into hibernation until they infest another human. Supposedly according to legends, the maggots are part of a larger whole , a sort of Lord of Worms, however while the Lord of worms preys on rotting human meat, their favorite meal are Curse borne and among the Curseborne the Iscariots are a delicacy.
@@TheGentlemanGamer Judas's has the hint of the Typhonian about it. Thomas needs evidence but he wants to belief so badly. Judas acts on the gamble and shows his will.

Ooh, the persona is back! Great!
In-world guides are the best part of the Gentleman's channel.
That's very kind of you to say. I know a lot of people enjoy them.
Oh God, Not Chairman Meow!
It was a family tragedy.

That show probably showed Judas at his "best."
What's a little bit of cannibalism among Family? 💀
More than a mouthful is a waste.

I am sure they are masters of haute
cuisine...
I think it is pronounced homme cuisine.
@@joeking1956 Bravo.
Nice. That Iscariot is reminiscent of the Stephen King short story survivor type where a surgeon starts eating parts of himself..
Lady fingers...

I do indeed. We'll be here for some time!
Dark stuff indeed 💀
That's fine: dark meat is tasty too.
So good.. I can't wait til the bathory deep dive 💖😭
That would be a murky pool in which to dive.
So exciting to see this series back 🎉
Thank you for supporting it!
a cat named chairman meow? hahahaahahha
Don't tell the Sphinx Family.
Delightful stuff as always! I'd love a guide on either the Bathorites or the Nephilim, depending on what strikes your fancy.
I already have my next one lined up!

Ooo I like that!
Brilliant video mate.
Thank you!
this stuff is top shelf
Thank you for saying so! I hope you check out the Kickstarter!
Or-TOFF-uh-jee is how we pronounce it in the biology lab. 🤷
See - none of us can agree.
Better the Gospel of Judas than that of Thomas, but that is just me. A great video.
What's amiss with the Gospel of Thomas?

@@SkullCowboy333 He always was a doubter.
Love these curesborn videos, can we get one on the way magic works in the game for the sorcerers or a video talking about the Hyde’s?
I've no doubt we'll get on to magic too! And the Hydes are on the list! We just did a video on the Get of Lyka yesterday.
Comment for the algorithm
Always appreciated.
