Episode 74: Roads & Paths of Enlightenment

If you’re new in town or just new to this whole podcast thing, you’re tuning into ‘Lore by Night’, the podcast that discusses all things vampiric, with no fear of breaching The Masquerade. In this episode, we shall present the alternate philosophical codes of morality that vampires can follow to stave off the Beast, known as Roads & Paths of Enlightenment. In addition, we will also learn how to best portray them as a player, or as a storyteller.

Reject humanity, return to pathy.

[@yuriykaraivan8310]

Yet again great video!!! I believe that many games would get more interesting if players would get some inspiration in paths of enlightenment and other influences that kindred have.

[@chihuahuaman917]

One of my favorite pastimes is creating homebrew Paths of Enlightenments.

[@KorocDM]

I'm currently prepping a vampire the dark ages campaign. This video has some great inspiration!

[@LoreByNightVtM]

Excellent!

[@SimonV746]

Great video as usual. @9:29 " Passed down from Childe to Sire". Was that a Freudian slip or?

[@LoreByNightVtM]

...n-n-no 😅

[@louisakaangelisgeoghaganak3229]

thankyou I louis geoghagan aka angelis la shimmer say this I know what Im going do Im going to win in court i louis geoghagan aka angels la shimmer i realized playing the game the game made ugly annoy ugly runs through the people why because hammer in

[@louisakaangelisgeoghaganak3229]

in trailer rebuilding annoyed this morning wasnt there where working I didnt mind the hammering I rememeber when was janitor and work in moms clean up crew and we was cleaning trailers and they look back on that stuff

[@AnakinTheWeird]

Remember, fledglings. Dio rejected his humanity, and look where that got him.

[@Noxims47314]

Feral Heart, Be your own, stand with your Pack. Cut the vagueries and kine-like conniving back to its basics. One needn't be a Gangrel to see the beauty in simplicity.

[@spartanx9293]

2:02 because as second Inquisition has demonstrated we would fly your asses if you weren't

[@TheFoxyFoxyFox]

My favourite part of every video is hearing you saying "click the little bell" in your big voice

[@zacharyhawley1693]

I kinda want to play a human with a vampire road. Just to see what would happen.

[@hellohumansthade7280]

Rock on!!! Sounds like a fun idea.

[@OldJerzyDevil]

Your description of the Kindreds' eventually losing their connection to the Path of Humanity gave me goosebumps! 🖤

[@FlorPudding]

Having heard the name of Alexandria in the podcast several times now I'm really curious about her, especially since searching that name in the wiki told me she's the Prince of Buenos Aires, the city I'm from! I don't have a lot of info on her and everytime her name comes up I'm dying to know more

[@SkullCowboy333]

The example of Sutekh points the way, turn away from Caine and the lie that Undeath is anything less than a divine state.

[@MasterOfManyMuffins]

Fuck is part of the beast?

[@LoreByNightVtM]

The Beast is just that: a beast. Feed, kill and copulate/embrace. Primal instincts fuel it

[@clockwork7daemon]

Had a Malkavian who followed the Path Of Night, being a nihilistic Cultist of Oblivion. Fun character. Ended up walking into the Fey Realms to end his story.

[@BlytheWestchild]

This week on I still need to stop finding Nosferatu hot

[@LoreByNightVtM]

😘👉👉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@darthjoel6357]

Gangrel and Nosfetatu trying to enlighten via Golconda...ummmm ... good luck? 🤔

[@yellowbelt]

In the old system yeah, humanity and its path were just bad. I like how requiem and 5th made it way better. Well at least to me. Also Road of Kings, Path of Daena all day!

[@coolmanbritt]

Could you go into more detail about paragons? I would think that our narrator would have at least heard of ones on the path of cain, that and their supposed power to never fall into torpor unwillingly more than one night.

[@willnorman-bargo]

I wonder how one could make a version of this for normal humans in new world of darkness? I always thought the paths/roads were interesting.

[@dylanchouinard6141]

I’m pretty sure that’s just religion

[@willnorman-bargo]

@@dylanchouinard6141 you make a fair comparison there.

[@wolf_quill]

Another great video! I'm also curious if you'd do individual videos about each clan's customs and cultures? I'm curious on your character's take on them : D

[@LoreByNightVtM]

I have already

[@wolf_quill]

@@LoreByNightVtM o bet

[@Reaper-hz9yn]

Road of Heaven is the best path

[@MalkavDraconic]

Via Divinty of course!

[@explorationi]

This was a very deep dive into the Vampire's hunger within.

[@kylecrawford2000]

Big fan of these lore vids man do you think we will ever get a video explaining the end of the humanity scale and becoming a white

[@LoreByNightVtM]

It's something I could consider looking into for sure

[@scomae5445]

What are your thoughts between paths of enlightenment and the new "conviction" system. I personally quite like the added flexibility and you can still use the ethics of the path as convictions.

[@LoreByNightVtM]

I agree.

[@LoreByNightVtM]

That got progressively worse as it went on. Nice attempt at trying to sound clever though

[@marcelosilveira2276]

any chance you will cover the Path of Night?

[@LoreByNightVtM]

That is coming soooooon 👀

[@marcelosilveira2276]

@@LoreByNightVtM great! I bought the wrong book on drivethrurpg (DA companion, instead of DA storyteller companion) together with some hundred dollars worth of Dark Ages Lasombra books and will need to wait another month before I get to read it, but the game will be starting in only two weeks, and I can't seen to find any video on youtube about that specific Path on Enlightment :p

[@Reaper-hz9yn]

You should Cover other World of Darkness systems as well c:

[@LoreByNightVtM]

I definitely plan to do that!

[@Reaper-hz9yn]

@@LoreByNightVtM Nice! I wanna see stuff about the Garou!
