That's basically my last campaign lmao I spent most of the games trying to warn the prince that the Sabbath attacks shouldn't be taken so lightly and that the Camarilla should start spending more resources into repeling it, long story short they all died in a siege and me (Brujah) and my Gangrel allied became the regents of London.

wanted to write some gothic type stuff cause it sounded fun this morning, remembered how vtm has preexisting lore for that I can get inspiration from if anything.

The first rule, avoid politics, freelance your skill to the highest bidders, 2nd, only ever have one Malkavian friend, trust me on that, saves your head aches 3d, if your a Ventrue, like, get a Swiss bank account & citizenship 4th, Toreadores, like to be flashy, avoid the flash, no point getting burned 5h, Gangrel, will never stab you in the back, but will to your face, make blood bond with one and got something good 6th, Bruja, hot-blooded, learn to temper it and you might make it with some best friends, 7th, Nosferatu, are people, do not diss them, chances are you'r going to go sewer diving one day, 8th, avoid the heads of Anarchs and Camarilla, keep your eyes on them, do nob bow our head, but do not be an ass kisser, keep the in your loop 9th, when taxi driver gives you chills, you move to Cannada
My friend came home with a story about a cab driver that had beautiful music and he was told the name of the composer 3 times and when he got home he couldn't remember the name of the composer bit recalled the haunting music. I live in Canada. He's here too! True story
The Vampire parts of World of Darkness is their best, deep and seated in twisted biblical tradition. It's a shame their other additions doesn't line up with it fully. Really feel like several puzzles that can't quite fit together.
I keep coming back to this, especially the beginning because I'm a big fan of the myth of Cain. I love how it spun out differently according to different clans. How it's mentioned in the PC game Bloodlines and going into some detail in Redemption. I did not know about the time between when Cainne spurned Lilith and renames the First City to Enoch. And his vision of the four Angels blew my fragile mind! There's a lot to unpack there on how it's the origin of all the kindreds weaknesses.
Love the Vampire The Masquerade: Redemption soundtrack! Nostalgia-inducing! Edit: and thank you for your hard work in distilling the labyrinthine Vtm lore!
Yeah, uh, Cain. I know you don’t know what murder is due to no one ever dying in history ever, but that was very bad to do. So to punish you I’m giving you eternal life, superpowers, uh, anything else?
Live forever, always in shadow, everything you touch dies or is corrupted or turns against you....everything you involve yourself turns to ashes....and you can never ever die... No matter what powers you get from this...this totally sucks (hahaha)
I keep coming back and listening to this Your storytelling is actually excellent! Humorous but on point/engaging you've definitely such a charming enthusiasm. Like I wish badly they'd make a current Gen massive RDR2/Skyrim like rpg but based on Vampire The Masquerade or atleast animated show to this lore and if such a game/show ever was proposed I'd want you to be a narrator lmao Seriously man thank you so much for this channel
I can 100% see Hannable Barca taking command of an auxiliary force of vampires and either earning their respect or just staking any kindred dumb enough to question his authority and leaving them out im the open to watch the sunrise. The man basically invented being a badass.
Bro btw, just came back after 3 years to tell you how fucking amazing you are!!! Just an amazing compilation that I use often to introduce some beginner players into the idea of multiple possible pasts in order to create beliefs in characters.and groups.
Brujah is pronounced "Broo-ha". It's Spanish. It means " Witch /Sorcerer " ( Brujoh, masculine form, both with an emphasis on black magic and curses ). Additionally Lasombra roughly translates to "The Shadow", and a Toreador is a type of bull fighter.
That's pretty ironic since I'm a spanish player and we do pronounce "Brujah" closer to how he pronounces it, unlike for example the Toreador which we do pronounce in spanish Though that might just be my group
@@victorbalaguer99 I'm Puerto Rican myself. I'll be honest. I don't have any canonical proof of the pronunciation. But the Spanish Brujah makes the most sense to me considering the geographic origins of the clan being Iberia. Lasombra could be a more general Latin name given they come from all over the Mediteranean, which is why I didn't outright say it means "The Shadow". It could be a localized Italian dialect for all I know. Though the clan names all seem to align with the associated properties of each clan respectively ( Toreador being entertainers, Lasombra having power over darkness itself, etc ).
I love the history of the Vampires and the World of Darkness in general but I don't like that virtually every important historical event involves them somehow.
You dont like that every important historical event involves them somehow because it reveals a deeper reality that goes against your human nature. We all know that, deep down, we will be held into account for all our actions and we dont like that.
They are literarily immortal superhuman beings with magic, and some of them are so powerful they are or can pose as gods. What were you expecting? Vampires have footholds in every continent, nation, business, and city. How could history not have their influence everywhere?
That’s like, kinda the point? Idk study non fiction history I guess? There aren’t any vampires in historical texts so you should be fine… I actually do love real life history, and I find making up fictional histories with vampires or aliens or whatever to be extremely fun. It would make my hobby of studying history super easy if it was all actually vampires tho lol
What makes the lore in VTM (and even worse in the World of Darkness) very difficult is the fact that many of the books contradict other books. This is usually explained by points of view. For example, clan books are from the perspective of someone from that clan. Even worse are the cuts made in VTM5 now, after Paradox bought White Wolf and what followed (longer story but worth a read). In very short some clanbooks received too much critique & bad press because they got too extreme. So they cleaned VTM up, by many harsh changes which would be really hard to explain within the old lore. Like what happened to the Tremere pyramid & their mainchantry; including the reincarnation of the previously completely wiped House of Goatrix. Or the creation of Hecata; where the (also before almost completely wiped) Cappadocians let themself now be ruled by those who wiped them, the Giovanni. Or the complete removal of the Baali from the game. Or anything what happened to the Sabbat - and so much more..
I've always found the best part of VTM to be precisely the fact that we have a different story for each point of view. I always felt like a historian, creating my own theory of things.
Given that it's a role play game, I find the ambiguity in everything to be a good thing. The truth is not the same from game to game, only what your storyteller has decided is true, and thus meta knowledge has limits even amounts veteran players.
Very cool man, one of my friends had a VtM video game a long time ago and that's as close as i've ever come to ever playing one of these games but the lore is definitely interesting! Thanks!
Have you ever considered going over the events in the first and second city, or even before, in grater detail? As in, giving doing all the perspectives and contradictory stories just for completion?
Crusader Kings 3 Dark princes Mod! Pass it on!! Hey I have studied the civil war since I was nine. Grand Tactician 1861 1865 is an awesome game. What was going on in the vampire world during the American Civil War
In the peculiar vernacular of vampires, it was agreed on that Antediluvians would be a shorthand reference to the 3rd generation, regardless of the precision of the term (Tremere & Augustus Giovanni).
Well, human sacrifice is verboten now, but originally YHWH was all about that; blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Heavenly Throne. It's funny that people think Khorne is extreme; 2000 years of meticulous PR works I guess
@@commisaryarreck3974 yeah, the issue when switching between a head of a pantheon, to being the sole deity in existence ( the ancient Hebrews were henotheistic, from polytheistic)
You forgot to mention the fall of a certain Methuselah’s castle in Prague near the end of the 12 century. I’m pretty sure that was a big moment where mortals realized they could fight back against the night.
Hey man, haven’t said hello in a while. I started a new Werewolf online campaign with 5 new players since you made your video - thanks for reviving the flame! And thanks for this video
No mention of any "children" that came after Cain spent time with Lilith? That sounds like a writer's dream to create other kinds of Vampire, or other Things entirely.
So basically all the lore is a rinse repeat of them being warned not to don't what they were gonna do ignoring the warning doing it anyways then acting surprised when the disaster that they were warned was gonna happen happened lol
@@missz4637 = Yes, mispronunciations are indeed a common thing, as well Theme, in book cannon. The word: Camarilla pronounced ~ Cam ah Rill ah, is also pronounced ~ Cam ah Ree Yah. Though the former is the proper considered pronunciation, both are accepted forms.
They misspelled it "Bruja" means witch On a side note "Toreador" is also incorrect bastardized spanish "Toreros" is the proper word and spelling and means bullfighter
2:26 "Abel's murder at Cain's hands - the true motive was never revealed" - Come to think of it, it's like that psychpathy test: Why did Cain made his brother into a human sacrifice, although he loved his brother? He saw how Abel sacrificed his lambs (which Abel loved) and saw Abel was gratified by god for this. And like the psychopath Cain was (not unlike a modern A.I.), he thought: What beats sacrificing lambs? Humans! God will bless me even more for this! (It's funny how Abraham wasn't made into a vampire, after trying to sacrifice his own son to god. Probably because god requested it from Abraham and Abraham suffered mentally while trying to kill his son, while Cain just thought it was the obvious and common sense thing to do, to sacrifice Abel. So someone born without a conscience is made into a vampire who feeds off of people's life forces. That's basically the closest metaphor to what psychopaths do in real life.
The worst/best part is that caine is still completely, 100% certain that he was in the right and that God is merely holding out on him, or wronged him in some way. It states in some setting books that it's even possible that if he even felt a single grain of doubt for his actions, he'd be instantly forgiven and ascend to heaven. But that hasn't happened yet, either because it isn't true, or perhaps even more interesting; it is, and caine is some Cosmic Joke until he realizes he's a dumbass. I do enjoy one of the concepts that same said books posit, that Abel became the first Wraith, and could appear in a campaign to forgive him.
The oldest lore I found about a werewolf Was a greek king being cursed by a gos to become a werewolf/lycantrope And then there are many lores on how to become one, intentional or by accident 1. By drinking from a pool a werewolf drank recently 2. As a woman you could be punished to become werewolf in the dark ages. 3. By wearing werewolf skin, like cape or belt, will transform you American Indians call them skinwalkers 4. Being attacked by a werewolf and survive or reincarnate (with amnesia).
@@MaleusMaleficarum what if they did as being a mk ultra project? You keep seeing in fiction they try to make vampire babies. And somehow Need the power of the werewolf.
Before they were angellike beings Some say And then one day they were taken over By a bigger consiousness? Making them sub to it? They communicate by projecting theirselfs in this world, they are orbs. And are unable to communicate by words in dreams, but telepathy So when one never uses its mouth in your dream You can bet it is a vampire.
Great video just like the rest. I am sad that you lost your notes...twice! Are they hard copies or do you have them on the computer? If they are hard copies have you thought about digitizing them and putting them on something like the cloud or a hard drive?
The thing about Vampire is that you MUST play an older era campaign and continuee from there to the modern times in order for your campaign experience to feel complete. it has SO much wonderful potential but you must use lots of official fluff elements-signature npcs.
It's a combination of time, humanity, and feeding habits. Old, low humanity vamps and diablerists are more likely to succumb to the thirst of ages than Golcondans.
@@lonewanderer1328 oooo I'll go check those out then! Vamps are awesome and I can't wait for Vampire masquerade 2 but werewolves are my fave, wish we had a good wolf game

2. As a woman you could be punished to become werewolf in the dark ages.
3. By wearing werewolf skin, like cape or belt, will transform you
American Indians call them skinwalkers
4. Being attacked by a werewolf and survive or reincarnate (with amnesia).
@@MaleusMaleficarum what if they did as being a mk ultra project?
You keep seeing in fiction they try to make vampire babies.
And somehow
Need the power of the werewolf.
Before they were angellike beings
Some say
And then one day they were taken over
By a bigger consiousness? Making them sub to it?
They communicate by projecting theirselfs in this world, they are orbs. And are unable to communicate by words in dreams, but telepathy
So when one never uses its mouth in your dream
You can bet it is a vampire.
Great video just like the rest. I am sad that you lost your notes...twice! Are they hard copies or do you have them on the computer? If they are hard copies have you thought about digitizing them and putting them on something like the cloud or a hard drive?
Power outage and file corruption on both occasions. I typically save after I finish editing. A bad habit, but a habit nonetheless.
@@lazarofstygia2241 so you don't have autosave functions in the software you are using?
@@fastgav I use word, but the autosaves couldn't be recovered after the outages.
@@lazarofstygia2241 sorry to hear that. Have you ever thought about investing in a thumb drive or portable hard drive?
@@fastgav fastgav I save my audios and finished videos to an external drive
I ❤️ Vampires. Thank you very Much 😇🙏
Would have been more interesting if there was at least one 2nd generation vampire still alive and in torpor.
According to a few sources, Enoch may have avoided final death.
Can we please have a 9 part series?
The thing about Vampire is that you MUST play an older era campaign and continuee from there to the modern times in order for your campaign experience to feel complete. it has SO much wonderful potential but you must use lots of official fluff elements-signature npcs.
? what game are you reffering to
@@imonke5303 Vampire the Dar Ages -> Vampire the Masquerade
Also there is an old game done this right called Vampire the Masquerade Redemption.
All I have to say is awesome 👌
Need to watch this after seeing Hunter: the parenting.
Vampire Redemption Music is UNSURPASED !

@@Razamaniac just wanted the one in the video man.
@@ZeroOmega-vg8nq I sent you a treasure, browse it
@@Razamaniac Sent what? I want to know. I would happily treasure it.
Did Cain and the 2nd generation not suffer from the thirst for their creations blood or did they just not live long enough to experience the problem?
cain is still alive
It's a combination of time, humanity, and feeding habits.
Old, low humanity vamps and diablerists are more likely to succumb to the thirst of ages than Golcondans.
@@lazarofstygia2241 would you or would you not diablerize your sire for power?
May I post your videos on my Pinterest board?
Go ahead.
I don’t remember where I heard this theory, but I like the idea that Cain killed Abel to prevent him from being a blind slave to God
Why is there not a remaster of Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption? 😭😭😭
I suspect it's because Paradox hates honest money.
Dont listen to this at night
It's the best time
Its when there are most energies
Great thumbnail
I need the source of the background music
1:40 to get to the point
Brujah ... "Broo-hah" :p
Lilith got it on With GOD??????
Yes and it was the best She ever had.
So udasir is basicaly athila the hun
Odoacer was a Germanic commander/mercenary of Rome. It would be more like Blackwater/Xe overthrowing the U.S. government.
Amazing Job
Thank you.😊
Is there a big book with the history somewhere?
Bruva alfabusa has sent me to learn
Praise the Big E...or Big D...or whatever he's calling himself.
You didn’t loose notes, the camarilla stole it to prevent you breaking the masquerade
✨
Bruva alfabusa brought me here
Pretty good
Why to be called Toreador without bulls around lol. They were drunk
Great video(s) 👍
P.S. "broo-hah" rolled r, soft j
7:34 why is this music it’s fucking banging
For oWoD or gWoD? I'd hate to watch two hours of lore just to find out that it's for nuMasquerade.
OWOD.
What's the name of the music/song?
i think it may come from this (according to other comments): ruclips.net/video/CQaw_67GVW8/видео.html
Are there werewolves in this universe?
Yes, other shapeshifters too, he even has videos on the different clans of werewolves
@@lonewanderer1328 oooo I'll go check those out then! Vamps are awesome and I can't wait for Vampire masquerade 2 but werewolves are my fave, wish we had a good wolf game
Yes.
Can you link the thumbnail pls
I only skipped as I know the general history more safely, but no doubt well made. Just: what is the symbol at the beginnin? never seen. like an ur-ankh or something?
It is the crux ansata/ankh variant White Wolf used for the first incarnation of Dark Ages Vampire.
@@lazarofstygia2241 ah cool, thx for the info
I've known people who actually believe this is all actually 100% real
I BELIVE ADAM VAS A MAGE. CUS LUCIFER AWAKEND HIM.
It is a possibility. If Adam cursed Caine then he had some kind of power.
this better be v20 and not 5th
