Hi, weird gun nerd, here. If you're curious, the "sci-fi gun" at around 11:20 is a 37mm revolver grenade launcher, I believe specifically an L8. These were low-pressure grenade launchers designed for firing less-lethal rounds like tear gas canisters for dealing with riots and barricaded suspects and were marketed to law enforcement, but routinely ended up in movie armories thanks to their intimidating looks and (comparatively) cheap price and lack of need for any kind of complicated conversion work to fire dud rounds. And it feels very Brujah to bring a grenade launcher to a drive-by.

At least according to revised 90's rules: drinking from another vampire works like an energy drink, but you have to go even further than just drinking them dry to commit diablerie. After there's nothing left to drink, you have to suck more, until you literally suck the soul out of a dry husk of your victim, iirc while the soul fights to stay in.

Diablerie is drinking the soul of another vampire. That's just drinking his blood. That's not particularly unusual, though it'd be odd to do it deliberately given you can become bloodbound and essentially supernaturally "in love" with them, loyal in ways you may consciously not be, a weakness they can abuse.

I actually watched this show back when it was airing, and only NOW do I realize- I've had the Gangrel and Brujah from this show swapped in my head for the past 30 years. I legit thought, all this time. that the slab-faced primogen dude was Gangrel (probably because they show him, also, turning into a wolf at one point), and the biker guy was Brujah (you know, because he was in a biker gang). I also still find it really.. weird? confusing? that there were ZERO *Tremere* in this show. You were already making a vampire soap opera! Throw some sorcerer vampires in there! makes more sense for them to be staging a take over than the freakin' BRUJAH, anyways.

As a WoD fan I’m impressed that Aaron Spelling would even take a risk on this, and apparently it served as the groundwork for Charmed (which obviously was much more successful). Personally I’ve longed for someone to take the tone and story beats from Millennium and make a Hunter show, that’d be sick af. Anyway, nice review.

So, to the best of my knowledge, this is only one of three Tabletop franchises to get a TV Show, and the other two, Dungeons & Dragons and BattleTech were both cartoons, making Kindred the only live action Tabletop show. Also at the time this first aired, there were jokes circulating the WoD Player Community that Aaron Spelling decided to do this project because he heard that some of the vampires were called Toreador and thought that he could try to get his daughter Tori Spelling another prime time role.

The numbers definitely go up when you start looking at stuff outside the US. Not going to go into every possible example, but one of the oldest would be the anime Record of Lodoss War, which had an interesting Path. Started as a D&D tabletop game, then new original ruleset Sword World > replays & light novels > OAV series > TV series. That same world produced a few other animated movies and series. Cyberpunk's recent Netflix anime is another obvious example.

I was hoping for some of the other of the White Wolf stuff in a later seasons but that ... never happened. For a few years I thought it would have made a fantastic addition to the WB/UPN/CW lineup. They had Charmed and eventually a ton of genre shows, including super hero stuff, and I thought that a White Wolf would make a great setting for one of those.

Make the protagonist a Neonate, newly plunged into the World of Darkness. Create a complex web of alliances and intrigue. Maybe set the show in the 90s, as a nostalgic period piece. (While also neatly side-stepping all the plot developments from V5, which are...controversial, to say the least).

According to some of the old White Wolf devs (the game publisher behind Vampire the Masquerade\World of Darkness), another point of contention that led to the cancelling of the series (or at least before the broadcasting of the last episode) was due to Aaron Spelling using official material from White Wolf books (text, images, etc.) without permission on the series and their websites, which led White Wolf lawyers to send them a letter. Apparently, Spelling did not take this kindly, and chose to immediately shut down the series, rather than to deal with it (since there was one single last episode to broadcast).

I started to do the "Well Actually" post concerning Lillie drinking Julian's blood but then I reminded myself that I've seen Will's Redemption and Bloodline videos and that Will Did indeed do research and probably DOES know the difference and is doing this for comedic relief. That said. I watched this show back in the day as a VTM player. It was cringe, it was eye rolling, and many of us raged over the big lore breaks. But we had to accept this was an Aaron Spelling Production and it was the best we were going to get, or we'd just go and watch Forever Knight and pretend The Main Character was a Toreador. It too was still cringe and eye rolling at times but genuinely entertaining and Nick's story had pathos. That said. I wish I was wealthy enough or savvy enough to finance a true World of Darkness lore accurate television show. I won't wish for Home Blunder Office or Crapazon to even breath on this franchise let alone touch it. Servants of the Wyrm if there ever were any. Thank you Will for showing more World of Darkness love. I hope there is more to come.

Port Charles has the most WOD creatures appearances on a day time soap opera I can think of since it contains, vampires, werewolves, a wraith (And their shadow if I remember correctly), and other super natural beings.

Wow, I had to look it up to confirm that it was C. Thomas Howell ... I was wondering if this was the only thing he could get after Soul Man... But OMG dude has been in soooo many sub 5 star imdb rated movies and tv shows... What a promising career gone wonky. E.T., The Outsiders, Tank, Red Dawn... to pretty much this for the rest of his career.

Dude I would love to hear you talk about the other 7 eps! As someone who is only tangentially aware of White Wolf lore i would love someone to explain the episodes and all the little jokes and cool tidbits that'd go over my head.

But the show is terrible and doesn’t have jokes or cool tidbits. It would mostly be “they got this detail wrong just like they did in every other episode” He made the right choice just covering the first episode.

I remember watching 2 episodes and thinking it was interesting. It never showed the next episodes... I didn't forget about it though. I forget about a lot of stuff, but for some reason this one would creep back up on me, and I would be like. "I wonder if they'll ever do that again. That Masquerade lore is interesting." I even have done research into the lore, and it's pretty neat. They could set a new show in any era. There is a ton of lore to pull from.

The wild thing with Frank the Cop is that... it's friggin C. Thomas Howell! The Outsiders, Red Dawn, the Hitcher, he was at least a solid film actor, so one hell of a get for this show. And THAT was how they used him? I remember this show when it came out and being... mostly disappointed. Like, the vamps just lacked the oomph when they decided to cut loose. But it was also TV and SFX just weren't cheap back then.

20:28 iirc you can learn powers outside your clan traditions (in v20th at least) it's just more expensive.

I saw that in that small sweet point in time when a Year seemed a eternity. I know that because i felt like ages later when i read in a Game magacine about a Game in Development that was called Vampire The Masquerade Redemption. I devoured everything about it without making ever the connection to the Series until i got to Run Vampire Games myself for some years allready(Which was a odessey all on its own to get to that point).

This was an incredible watch on stream, it was amazing in the worst way possible. Honestly I feel like it could survive a modern incarnation on the CW with what they were going for.

The footage of what looked to be a mannequin with fused joints wrapped in gasoline-soaked rags, set on fire, and dropped from a helicopter about a mile from the shore the character "jumped" from was when I knew this show was doomed. It's just about the only thing I remember about this show. Well, that and mixing up of the clan powers when convenient.

It never really had a shot. I remember when it was advertised and the network just did not know what to do with it. It had a solid framework, but writing/acting was weak. Though it is fun to see some early career actors like Titus Welliver turn up.

It’s a show from the pre Buffy/heroes dats of tv that’s for sure. Everything feels just a bit to scripted and stilted but that’s how tv was before the change up in dialogue character interactions and general story telling in the 00’s. But man now I have to watch it. Haven’t seen them really since it aired always meant to but the DVDs were always so expensive. Didn’t realize they were on KZbin.
