    Blood Stained Love V5

    Blood Stained Love V5

    “It’s so romantic! Just imagine how beautiful it must have been, the Vermilion Wedding. I’m so envious.
    I wish I could have something like that. I remember when I was a mortal, all those feelings.
    Love. Affection. Care. I want to have those feelings again!”

    WRITERS: Juhana Pettersson, Muriel Algayres, Sharang Biswas, Freja Gyldenstrøm,
    Kevin Schluter and April Brown

    Revisiting: Werewolf the Apocalypse [5th edition popular name]

    Revisiting: Werewolf the Apocalypse [5th edition popular name]

    This was written to correct a podcast I could not stand by. The original Werewolf 5th edition came from a perception of a clear bias. I wanted "5th edition".  What we got was "Werewolf the Apocalypse". A reimagined story. Reimagined means to reinterpret imaginatively. I did not give it a solid chance. 
    2 months since I released that pod, I have been working on a campaign for the reimagined werewolf story and I fell in love with it.

    I hope, with this podcast, fans come with me on that journey and dare to buy the reimagined tale and see if the feel of the new captivates you. At the very least, have an informed opinion from trying the material out and not settling for just reading it. This is my apology for going against a principal I typically held to.

    W20 Apocalyptic Record "The Night We Loat Ranch Apocalypse"

    W20 Apocalyptic Record "The Night We Loat Ranch Apocalypse"

    "Get comfy, pups. If you want a tale of blood, claws,
    gore, and guts, I’m going to regale you with one hell
    of a tragic story. These are the recollections of Astrid
    Broken Claw, Ahroun of the Get of Fenris. Do you
    know her name? You should. She was a key player in
    the Amazon War of the late 20th century. Astrid herself
    told me — Nina Freeman, her blessed granddaughter."

    Love Bites. A New Year's Story for V5

    Love Bites. A New Year's Story for V5

    "Love Bites features the messy entanglements that
    emerge when what passes for love among the Kindred
    meets politics. On New Year’s Eve, the Prince entrusts
    an up-and-coming Maréchal coterie with what seems
    like an easy task: escort her prodigal grandchilde,
    Gatsby, to a Nosferatu party hosted by visiting
    Cleopatras, ensure he has a memorable night, and safely
    return him to her penthouse before dawn.
    To accomplish this, they must contend with Gatsby’s
    antics, face the inconveniences of a celebrating city, and
    get him to the warrens before midnight to honor the
    Nosferatu with a New Year’s toast."

    ST Vault "Damned Blood: Baali" V5

    ST Vault "Damned Blood: Baali" V5

    "The Baali are a clan causing much controversy. The question
    whether they qualify as a clan or just a bloodline (and
    if so from which clan) is open for discussion. While the
    Kindred are generally not considered heroes and revel in
    their dark drives, the Baali are regarded as pure evil. They
    are accused of consorting with demons, corrupting mortals
    and kindred alike, and working to bring about Gehenna to
    destroy the world in an orgy of bloodshed and chaos."

Almighty ELEN ,

Holy Crap! Croatan Review was Amazing

I’m still listening to it but my God man, this is probably the most intense and in-depth discussion of RPG lore I’ve ever heard and I only pray there’s more of this in your catalog. Looking at this as a tribute to the native Americans while keeping it separate says so much. Keep the woke reaction at bay because the point is just read and understand the tribute that this is. WELL DONE GUYS!

A Prince Amongst Men ,

10 episodes in and I’m done

There are two hosts - one of them is so awful he’s put me off the podcast.

He constantly makes hostile and abusive comments about anyone who doesn’t want to play the same game as him the way he plays it.

He insists that if you change a game in any way you’re not playing that game any more, then insists that people should only play VtM with the subset of rules he chooses along with some more rules that only seem to live in his head. Then, totally oblivious to his own hypocrisy he goes back to being abusive about people who play other games or who change them.

His commentary on going to Goth clubs - in real life - to pick up women for sex and hating that they had the temerity to want to decide what name they used for themselves was… pretty nauseating. Particularly from a guy who goes by “Bob” which isn’t the name his momma gave him.

Hiruma Shigure ,

So good!

I’m definitely late to the party but I have been listening to this the past month, all day at work, and any other time I can sneak it in. I backed it up all the way to episode one and plan on leaving to it start to finish even though I can’t wait to hear their opinions on the newer 5e stuff.
