Introductory Scenario to Vampire: The Masquerade

[@marcosousa4029]

Jason Carl, you owe humanity a youtube channel of your tables! You are an amazing storyteller!

[@JasonCarl]

Thank you, that is very kind!

[@menghao737]

And he delivered. Some of the best RPing I've seen on youtube over on Geek and Sundry. V:TM fifth edition, every Monday on the Geek and Sundry channel. Not sure when the Twitch stream is done yet.

[@Kimeru]

Would totally love an audible collection of Jason reading some classics.

[@hadeseye2297]

Maybe if he would eat some breakfast. He looks kinda sleepy to me.

[@KAKATAL]

That is so true. I have seen LA by night so many times and it is always a pleasure and a source of inspiration for me (as a DM). I've just discovered this one and after just 5 minutes it is already so good. I can't wait to see the end.

[@ciaranunwin]

The storyteller for this was incredible. Fantastic job was brilliant to watch.

[@JasonCarl]

Thanks very much! That's really kind of you. :)

[@Leafwatcher07]

pretty sure he is one of the author behind the Mind's Eye Theatre version of VtM 20, I think I recognize him from the KS videos. That would explain why he knows his stuff haha.

[@JayRab]

@darkstoriesnorth Can we look forward to more from you in the future videos? Very few things keep me watching for 3hours and you sir did just that.

[@Schaard]

100% agree. Powerful descriptions set the scene, timely interjections ("Your phone rings", etc) to keep the pace moving, and a great story to show off the basic stuff that can happen in the WoD. Do you have any (or plan on making any) resources for budding storytellers? Or did you just learn by experience?

[@Schaard]

KS videos?

[@IrishAndroid]

This storyteller's command of language is incredible. I'm highly impressed. I endeavor to speak like this, as a person who has a bit of a hitch in his verbal step, thanks to an old speech impediment. "What you do comes back to those who made you."

[@NothingYouHaventReadBefore]

IrishAndroid Best part is that he does regular sessions on Geek&Sundry now!

[@danieldangelo2682]

Hey man my friends stutter a lot and even though he managed to express himself and set the tone very well, keep up the good work

[@UncleJoeNeonCherry]

I haven't played VTM for over a decade. I'm an old jaded man now, but this session brings tears of nostalgia to my eyes.

[@deadramaster]

buy it on steam dude! still so good

[@handhunter13]

He's talking about the tabletop game, not the videogame.

[@urshulgi666]

I've found that roll20 and other online options are great for finding a group that fits your time availability. Had a lot of fun getting back into the game after not playing it for 15 years.

[@youtubeismydayjob9147]

10:12 I laughed so hard when I realised Jason wrote Alex Ward as a ghoul (Alex plays Jasper, a vampire on LA by Night) I just found that really funny and had to point it out.

[@tearsong8744]

Same! At first I thought I was hearing things lol. Also for anyone who might be seeing this comment Alexander Ward is now playing Isaac on New York by Night. ❤

[@pacceli2009]

wish i had friends to play it with.

[@Darkmage1293]

"I will throw the rat." "You're gonna throw the rat." "I feel like it's my only option." That is some D&D logic.

[@robinmarks4771]

Jason: Superb narrating! I've been routinely disappointed by many of the other serial roleplaying campaigns on youtube, perhaps because I hold myself and other storytellers/GMs to an absurdly high standard. I'm happy to say that you meet said standard. Wonderfully vivid scene-setting, fantastic pacing, and excellent attention to detail. Hoping the player-character interactions get a little deeper, and that perhaps their backgrounds, secrets, and motivations - besides being generic vampires of their respective clans - will be explored.

[@JasonCarl]

Thank you Robin! :)

[@yautjacetanu]

Will you ever be doing anymore!? You were awesome and found you instantly compelling. Since that humble bundle I've been trying to be a StoryTeller myself and I've rewatched this a bunch of times. The combat was really fast paced and interesting and there was so much intrigued about your scenes (I still wanna know why that apartment was so clean). Could we ever see more to find out more about this character?

[@JesseMFJames]

Robin Marks I agree you... Good post-

[@menghao737]

@@yautjacetanu In case you don't know yet, because I'd hate for you to miss it, Jason is now running a fifth edition game on Geek and Sundry youtube channel, every monday, and it's got some truly spectacular RPers. I kind of like it more than Critical Role, though I've always been more partial to V:TM than DnD anyways. Seven three hour episodes so far, so lots of content to catch up on. If you loved this, you're gonna go bonkers for L.A. By Night.

I'm so glad this channel is becoming active!!!

[@davidens8204]

me too but I need to get a better feeling for the tabletop hence I am watching these sessions very valuable

[@shadowmoses8204]

Jason Carl is the man! Big fan of his work! The ultimate story teller!

[@NCRambassador]

Wouldn't complain too much about seeing these guys again. ;)

[@JackBauerHSM]

The Storyteller is so good at this. I have always been interested in Vampire: The Masquerade & always wanted to see how people actual play. Thanks for posting this video. It was awesome!

[@arrangingstarsx]

This brings back so many memories! So happy this channel is becoming active within the last 2 weeks, and also that Paradox just trademarked Vampire Bloodlines!

[@keiransimmons3388]

The Toreador kinda reminds me of Patty, the ghoul in vtmb

[@hunkydory7139]

A bit more active and lively than Patty. But yeah, you're right. I can tottaly hear her saying something like: "Puh-leeeaaase, don't leeeaaave, I reeeeaaaally need to find my maaaaaster..."

[@xixxaxxorux5750]

funny enough, patty had a toreador as her master, so the vapidity of both should be similar

[@123youknowme]

Nicely done, good shots and closeups mixed with wide shots. I give my professional stamp of approval on it. Content: Excellent. Love the story telling and now feel like I know each of you. That's the hallmark of success. Bravo!

[@hunkydory7139]

You know, at first, I thought that all this Lucinda's "Oh my gaaaawwwd, follow me on instagraaaaaam" was very stupid. She seemed like the poor excuse of Toreador, rather the actual one. Where's seductive - glamorous - attracted to art and other forms of aesthetic beauty - humanity loving - character that I'm so used to. But then I realised something. It's 21st century. Times and thing change and vampires are not an exception. Toreador are always trying to be as close to humans as possible and what is the better way to achieve this then by keeping up with modern trends and fashions. It's the new glamour! Besides, If the fledgling is embraced recently it's only logical that they will keep their old habits. And now I can't stop imagining these conservative-traditional-ish Toreador admiring art while also frowning at all these "annoying new generation youngsters". This is the best!

[@alphoca9714]

Stereo typing a vampire because of its clan is just wrong

[@RavenShinyThings]

I think she was playing the image of a shallow girl that would attract the sort of guy she needs for a quick extraction of blood under it she was alway after everyone’s passwords

[@Deadcrows1981]

Millennial Toreador would act this exact way.

[@pathosfear6290]

[@jasonmayard3646]

Great storyteller and the players engage with the story very well. I loved it.

[@ufo8mycat]

After watching this I'm inspired to finally move from playing VtM on my PC to trying a live game with my friends. I picked up the Humble Bundle and I think it would be awesome if you could do a couple of videos about setting, storytelling and creating characters/NPCs.

Great video and happy the channel is releasing content. I've always played WW games on chats because of lack of interest from friends in table top, but this was a great video on how it's done. I've also done a bit of storytelling myself (again, on chats) and learned a lot from this ST! More vids!

[@MegaRhettButler]

You are an awesome storyteller. I have been in love with the world of darkness ever since I purchased VTM: Redemption as a teenager. My PC was not good enough to run it (I was young and new to PC gaming. I didn't know about system specs) but I read and re-read that game's excellent manual and fell in love with the setting. Many years later I was able to play it (hard game, TBH I used cheats to beat it) and I also played Bloodlines (amazing IMO). I have always dreamed of playing VTM itself but I have never been able to find a group. I have been to two pnp gaming clubs lfg but they didn't play it, they just played dnd which I think is lame. So it's great to see the game played. I am loving LA By Night! Keep up the good work!

[@acerba]

Stumbled across this video while looking for inspiration for an upcoming WoD game; great stuff. I'd love to see more like this.

Creeeeeepppy coincidence! Alexander Ward is an NPC in this session. Fast forward a few years and an actor by that name winds up playing Jasper in Vampire the Masquerade: LA by Night with Jason Carl.

[@caustic_rage]

Fantastic job to everyone involved. I've watched it more than once, just to mine ideas and watch the players and storyteller interact. It was an excellent introduction to the game and system and a great example of how to run a game and keep it moving. Congratulations!

[@KhaidenTajigen]

White Wolf, I hope you upload more game sessions like these in the future. Your plans include a lot of content for the WoD and I believe including videos like this as part of that content would be great for everyone. It is highly entertaining and great for people like me who have not ever played a game session (yet!). This kind of videos shows how fun a game session can be and really are good to promote the products (as you did here for the Kickstarter). But even without new bundles, editions, etc. coming out it would be nice to have them. I hope you consider this idea.
