whitelancer Posted May 27, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 27, 2023 Man that feeling when all your knowledge of the politics is from bloodlines because it has been so long since you've actually played.

Malkavian Grin Posted May 27, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 27, 2023 LOL I cut my teeth (as it were) allll the way back on Redemption. I'll never forget Christof's delivery of "The hated sun doth burn me to ash!!" whenever you accidentally stepped in sunlight 😄 If you want a bit more exposure to the Vampire workings but don't have 45 hours to pour into an RPG, I highly suggest Coteries of New York and the followup Shadows of New York (Lasombra love!). Keep in mind these are visual novels--not for everyone, but I had a good time. I'm currently trying to work my way through Swansong but it's got some rough edges. On Xbox One the textures don't always catch up fast enough, and there's some instances of hair "flying about" when the camera changes positions as if gravity forgot what it was doing. Also some of the dialogue delivery (and the writing itself) leaves a bit to be desired. Almost as if no one actually listened to how the conversation would go back and forth, so you sometimes get people repeating each other. "I say X." "Oh, you said X? That's helpful, I'll do that." No one talks like that!!! (>_<)' One thing Swansong does right is the diversity of cast (despite the number of people who roll their eyes at that word). Vampire is intensely diverse of race and taste and always has been. In Swansong you are almost immediately face to face with someone that has vitiligo and it's pretty awesome because she's still a non-stop diva. One last bit, if you give Swansong a go, realize it's set in V5 because they mention things like The Beckoning which didn't exist (as far as I know) until V5.

TiffanyKorta Posted May 27, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 27, 2023 Coteries and Shadows are also V5 as well as they're heavily about a Lasombra neonate in the Cam. There's also Night Road if you want a cyoa experience as well. And yes I have played all of them, though I've not finished most of them...

Malkavian Grin Posted May 28, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 28, 2023 Oh, yeah, should've mentioned those novels were 5e. Still, a lot of base lore there is usable. If it wasn't for Shadows, I'd never have wanted to play a Losambra! The games are alright. I'm a little miffed about the endings you get, but it's fine, I had fun getting there. What's Night Road on? I haven't heard of it before. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiffanyKorta Posted May 28, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) It came out around the same time as Shadows and you can find it on Steam. Actually looks like there is a whole slew of them!

I'm not sure if its still available, but I downloaded a free version from the google play store on my phone a while back. I think some content is blocked off behind a paywall though.

TiffanyKorta Posted May 28, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 28, 2023 The free version is the first four chapters, you having to pay if you want everything basically. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coreal Posted May 28, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted May 28, 2023 Just a heads up that I'm rather scarce this holiday weekend here.
