Degainta the Fallen One does house Carna have some weakness related to their appearance?

[@liminal_entity1331]

@@Reven619 Not that I know of, but from what I understand they have quite a bit more freedom than classical Tremere in how they express themselves. Most Tremere uniformly wear black or other dark colors, so seeing one in a bright white dress and carrying flowers is a little odd. But that's House Carna; they subvert the classical Tremere way of doing things, and one can assume that pertains to their appearance as well.

[@fauvarquelouis9598]

I truly have to say, Eva is a wonderful mysterious yet kind Tremere. I totally understand what she means by "not going back to the Camarilla" as I like playing Tremeres. And yeah, maybe it was just three hours describing kindred talking around a table, but it was really cool :)

Thank you for sharing the story with us! Glad you are enjoying it. :)

This series and the upcoming Bloodlines 2 game have inspired me to install Bloodlines once again. Now I just have to gather the courage to enter the Ocean House Hotel...

[@jarihult3199]

@Halberdier I'm playing with the newest Plus patch, and wouldn't dream of playing it unpatched :D I've been thinking of getting the Clan Quest mod, but I'm holding my hopes up that it'll be updated soon-ish to include a newer version of the unofficial patch.

[@LightAndDarkMdness02]

@Halberdier Antitribu is alright, but it has it's flaws. As a mod that adds clans, it's alright. However, a lot of content that was promised never made it in, and development seems to have been dropped entirely on it. That said, what is there is pretty neat. Playing a Lasombra or Tzimisce is really fun.

@@theglimpse3785 I have a love-hate relationship with the hotel :D I do agree that it's one of the best levels in any videogame, but I was also extremely relieved when I finally got out of there. I just may have to try that Auspex trick in a later playthrough.

I just love that everyone is rather patient with Annabelle in this episode. Especially Jasper. He takes the time to explain things so that she can understand. When she's being rude, through no fault of her own, she's not threatened or belittled, instead educated. Erika Shikii does an amazing job as Annabelle. I believed her excitement about the different Houses of Tremere. And how Eva looked rather delighted at her energy and exuberance. Even Victor is taking a less harsh tone with her, but seems to understand that Jasper is the best teacher for her. I love these characters so much!

[@wanderer2205]

I love the fact that Annabelle is calling the Thin-Blood Prophecy a sham. Even though it's true. A self-fulfilled one, but still completely fucking true. Sure, this is kinda meta, but it still makes me giggle like a card-carrying villain.

[@Hukur_]

Will Anabell learn magic with the Carna? Will she fulfill her dream of being a Harry Potter mage / vampire?

[@PlacidDragon]

She could ask X for help. If i recall, he was a Huffelpuff :p

Can we take a moment to appreciate Annabelle and her fangirling? You know we'd all be the same.

[@Shaphi95]

While Victor's "sheild" may be very effective in maintaining the Masquerade, it's not very sustainable. I'm interested in how he plans to deal with the consequences of being so visible to the public in a few decades when they notice he's not aging. Will he fake his "death"? It's all super interesting. Loving this series!

[@dynamicworlds1]

I mean, there's one clan that could deal with that problem, but they're a bit too busy leaning into being monsters to care so...

[@bronwynhl]

oh this i massively feel. i cringed last ep when a live stream was how he was gonna deal with things. like wtf dude!? id have made a far less innocuous distraction using your sweet mind powers and hand jasper stealth the girls out. or like.. dude probs has enough money to pay em off. like drawig anabelle into that was very rude and i hope she remains angry at him.

[@lokisrun]

Not just that but a global celebrity who is never seen out during the day, not for interviews, not for album releases, press appearances/releases etc. Seems strange that the Second Inquisition wouldn't take notice.

[@tkschaaf7096]

@Bronwyn Alayne then quite honestly it'll be a boring ass roleplay dude. I just love the fact that he's what we who dislike the ventrue are, just a bunch of uptight bastards who lucked out.

[@turpentinedaydreams4494]

A little fleshcrafting goes a long way. At least for a few more decades, at which point he'll HAVE to fake his death and deal with how difficult his life will become as the number of 'people who know who he is' dwindles into nothing.

I'd be very happy for Eva to join the group full time. The quiet and subtle nature of her character would be a good temper the rest of the group's impulsiveness. Plus Annabelle seems to like her a lot so I definitely think she'd be a good mentor for her too.

[@ChrisGalford]

The realization of Eva in this episode is straight up amaaazing. One-day, all the vamps will know their HP house. If they don't burn them down, first.

[@waahmed7830]

Honestly Jason inspired me to pick up V5 and become a story teller. I've played bloodlines (hype for bloodlines 2) but this really got me into the world. V5 is gonna be the second rpg I ever played besides dnd which critical role inspired me to start

[@azarinevil]

I've been into Vampire and the WOD for around 20 years, almost always as a player. I didn't even realize V5 had come out until Season 1 started on Twitch, I had given up hope after V20. Inspired me to restart as the storyteller, bringing back my old character Korhagen the Gargoyle and my ex-girlfriend's (RIP Kris) Tremere Alana as pivotal pieces off which to base the drama of my Chronicle. Watching Jason really raised my game as a DM/Storyteller.. I always was the main DM for our D&D games but I never noticed how much room I had to grow, too many years as the best gamer runner in my friend circle (at least according to them) LOL.

[@JasonCarl]

Welcome to the #vamily! Glad you're enjoying the story and are making one of your own, I hope you're having fun with it. :D

V5 is great and beginner friendly! I started a chronicle October last year largely because I saw how easy it was to run V5 thanks to LA by Night. Keep at it man.

Tbf, they are of the house of the Tremere that is basically giving a giant middle finger to the pyramid, so if there are any Tremere worth liking, this is where you'd find them.

[@Nikita4ever7000]

The Actress Playing Eva is Amazing as I have seen her out of Character and she's very different. The way she plays Eva is what I call the "It Factor". There are Actors and there are people who become the Character and Alexander Ward, and Josephine McAdam are just some of those people. I am not saying the rest don't have "It", but I'm talking about Eva and Jasper right now.
