The Gentleman's Guide to Vampires: Clan Brujah

[@sgretolare]

Most unrated rpg lore channel ever. You're by far the best presence here on youtube (sorry for being 9 years in late)

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

I appreciate the kind words!

[@sgretolare]

@@TheGentlemanGamer Such an honor! I was studying Bruja for my first character and luckily you prepare such job :) Thanks again

[@brettuhl7818]

I love how you present these videos as facts as opposed to just being apart of a game.

[@cherylwood2473]

I started watching your videos and I am addicted! They are amazing in how they mirror what is going on worldwide.

[@thebeardhasgrownup8999]

Here's my top six characters who best represents the brujah 1. Wilson fisk 2. Ozymandias from watchmen 3. Daisy fitzroy 4. Lunatic from Tiger and Bunny 5. Ratigan 6. Amethyst from Stephen universe

[@SymbioteHost]

+Morgen Morgg holy shit that list couldn't be more accurate

[@thebeardhasgrownup8999]

thanks

[@actorben]

The Brujah I'm playing right now in the current campaign is an ex-cop who, despite being an authority figure himself, despises authority and restricting red tape. He also had a drinking problem. He's almost like a character from a vigilante movie. Not very original but he's awesome nonetheless!

[@beautycutie1000]

My Brujah character was a Great-Grand-Childe of Ilyes, supposedly the one who embraced Troile. She was very much a fighter, but also very social and manipulative, using her brute strength, wit and charm to rule the city beneath the very noses of the Camarilla of Franklin. And, she was the sole character of our City that survived the whole game.

[@_Nilrem_]

The Lost Boys movie best represents the Brujah Clan

[@rudolphantler6309]

Don't forget the movie Near Dark, which came 1 month earlier!

[@Skullkan6]

Near Dark is better in every single way.

[@patricialassance]

I love this clan, they reminds me my uncle who fought against the military dictatorship in Brazil in the 60s and 70s when he was young. People called him an anarchist, a free spirit.

[@rrodrigues338]

Wait a moment, people back there hijacked airplanes.

[@patricialassance]

Lol never heard about that.

[@rrodrigues338]

Patricia Morais Well, with the amnesty law, these things were forgiven, and i guess forgotten too.

[@rrodrigues338]

Patricia Morais not saying he was a bad person though, i sympathize with this free spirit too.

[@miguelhenriquecosta]

Your uncle was a hero.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

Bru-hah. It's Spanish for "witch."

[@Disciple_of_Cthulhu]

Ironically, the series casts them as a warrior clan.

[@rubensmonteiro8711]

Bruxa, em português.

[@caiomoura9620]

Regarding the Brujah name's etymology, there are two plausible versions: 'bruhaha' that means 'a stir; a fuss or uproar'. The other version says it means 'The blessed ones' deriving from hebrew 'barúkh habá' that means 'be welcome' or, literally, 'be blessed the one who comes'.

[@TehOak]

And here we are, seven years later. This video will surely get a few views from the new VtM:B game and the recent release of Clan Brujah being playable. Good news for all the new-comers: you've found the best Vampire lore channel on the KZbins.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

I'm glad you find them useful!

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@woodwwad Thanks for your continued support Ander. Always means something to get a comment from you!

[@Anaken12]

I am writing a fanfiction based off the old VTM and It is incredibly useful the way you exlpain all the clans. I have been entertained and inspired by the way and turn of phrase you use. Thank you.

[@jamesrichardson2072]

Brujah Antediluvian he/ she was diablerie by his childe Troile it happen in the Second City. Patrick O' Reilly Clan Gangrel 1740- 1777 ( Embraced) at Valley Forge, P.A.

[@kirchhoff42]

This is fantastic. This have given me inspiration to a new character. Thank you.

[@SugamotoMagasaki]

personaly i remember fondly a campain i played where i chose a brujah... but wanted make sure the noblesse of his warrior spirit shows and he isnt just a punk etc so my character was a martial artist who had been ambushed by a rival school and left to die and then a brujah found and turned him to save him, meaning apart of looking for his sensei's killers he was believing reaching perfection in his arts would help him reach this redeeming lvl. He also only hunted criminals.

[@GMCiaramella]

I really like these videos, you are giving me insights on the WoD vampires that I've never had before.

[@eggmansizzle]

Brujah have always been one of my favorite clans in VtM, I might need to pick up this book....

[@blinddoctorwho]

@clackclickbang Good choice, it's either Brujah or Gangrel for me for the most part, if I'm feeling weird while making a vampire I would go with Nosferatu to switch things up. Thank you for your response, and if you do a Ventrue video next I'd really like to see your take on them.

[@mbalazs3544]

This one is so well made and so deep. GJ

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@GMCiaramella Glad to hear it and glad you enjoy them!

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

I like a well thought out Brujah.

[@mollytherealdeal]

That's a nice treatment of the Brujah.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@eggmansizzle I've got it ordered, and am very much looking forward to that epic tome!

[@medallionvaliance5349]

Brujah forever

[@Frank-Voight-Kampff]

Thank YOU very much for posting this video. I love how you always take on the point of view of the specific clan. Great job. Great job indeed! But I have to agree with @blinddoctorwho that because of your video style it is nigh impossible to guess your favourite clan.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@eggmansizzle Wonderful! It's out of print, but easy to find.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@herkles1 Ah, I only have so much time my friend. Maybe I will do a separate video on the antitribu versions of the clans.

[@OpeusPopeus]

Not allowed to play Brujah anymore because I went on a giant monologue in Elysium and accidentally sparked unrest in the city. Eventually ended up as Primogen for the new Prince.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@oktoberK Gangrel are now up. Toreador are possibly next. I can't have many more to go...

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@boltorange Thanks for watching and for your continued support!

[@xXMapcoXx]

This is prove that no matter how scruffy you look the second you open your mouth and out pops a British accent you sound 9999 times better then you look.

[@TheWhitmore]

You always start off videos frowny as hell. Grim faces for grim RPGs, huh? Keep up the great work!

[@eggmansizzle]

@clackclickbang Are you at all looking forward to the 20th anniversary Vampire the Masquerade book that's going to be coming? Now that I've been reading anything old World of Darkness I am completely psyched for it.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@Tschenggo Thanks for watching!

[@whowantsabighug]

Okay, brand new favourite clan. Since I study Philosophy and History it's strange I didn't like them before.

[@jaredhale9467]

so I've looked everywhere on the internet, but is there anymore story to christof from the game vampire the masquerade redemption? after the game that is?

[@wolorpg]

+Jared Hale If I remember correctly the Sire of CHristof (Ecaterine the wise?) leads the sabbat in new york in modern nights. Tragically I do not have citation.

[@awalsy93]

I don't recall how much of a role he played, but I believe he shows up during the Clan Novel Saga

[@98whistler]

could you make a video about the quei jin they fascinate me

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

Glad to hear it!

[@iansupremo6762]

Didn't Troile kill the Ventru founder? My head canon is that Ventru tried to kill the Brujah Antediluvian but he/she escaped. Troile diablerized Brujah and used the new power to kill Ventru

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@Chiived It's a good image for them. They're ranters and they're ravers, but they often have a point to make.

[@LEGOdewd]

A few questions for World of Darkness: Can there be a vampire awakened (mage) or an awakened werewolf? Why are werewolf gifts so weakly written, in comparison with vampire disciplines? Why are there different numbers of lv. 6+ disciplines, and can one create his own? Thaumaturgy vs true magick? Getting away with diablery? Clan name origins? Which cities belong to which vampire sect? Thanks in advance to anyone who ansveres at least one!

[@woodwwad]

They are an interesting clan, from philosopher kings to street trash. Nice job with the recounting of their lineage. rated as always

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@arek314 I shall make a video dedicated to that dark clan in time...

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@hoboyho Or Ventrue. I don't know; my favourite clan changes like the wind.

[@KRJackass]

The Brujah in our campaign is now an Angelic Mexican Wrestler with the durability of a goddamn Abrams M1.

[@josephpatterson9982]

Aw Brujah my favorite clan.

[@TemplarsCrusade01]

ah fantastic, I have to say, it would be fantastic to play a game of Vampire with you sir! Great vid, well said sir, well said ; )

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@23penguins32 They're the movers and the shakers in the Vampire world. Those with the most in common with the humans they desperately try to imitate.

[@Onionkid99]

Another great clan guide! What I always liked about the Brujah was the way the clan changed so much over the centuries. A Dark Ages and a modern nights Brujah are so different. Well, their stereotypes are so different. As you said, a clan so radical can be very varied. Some are communists, fascists, or anarchists. As a side note... White Wolf sure liked putting neo nazis all over the place didn't they? Ander says they're actually quite rare. I believe him.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@TemplarsCrusade01 Maybe one day! I'm always partial to a bit of Vampire.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

Certainly! A noir detective could fit most any clan.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@hoboyho Right now I would say it's the Followers of Set. Or the Brujah. But it changes.

[@eggmansizzle]

@clackclickbang I just ordered the book after finding out it is print to order only. 20 minutes before the deadline. Success!

[@jasoncutugno8577]

I must admit Clan Brujah would have to be my favourite but I seem to have a lot of trouble trying to come up with an interesting background. I know you can just go as a gang banger but I'd like to have one who can fight but also lead but again thinking of a background for me is hard.

[@jamesrichardson2072]

Jason Cutugno go with mobsters (Irish, Italian, and etc) or a Gun Runner.

[@peterneimann9803]

Mostly never thought to live about 30 and not they are imortals who may not live to 100. Make your bg based on your cause

[@Frank-Voight-Kampff]

@clackclickbang I know what you mean. Years ago I loved the Seties beyond everything else. But then I "discovered" the Lasombra and the Malkavian (you know, when played by a GOOD VtM player or storyteller). And at the moment it clearly is clan Brujah.

[@oktoberK]

@clackclickbang Thank you again. I can't wait to hear about the Gangrel clan.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

Excellent!

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@tetsubo57 A place beyond the rainbow, where the hurdy-gurdy bush shakes and trembles.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@McMahonHater Ah, but the same could be said for an arrogant, powerful Ventrue, Toreador, Malkavian, Nosferatu or even Gangrel or a bottom feeding Tzimisce, Ravnos, Tremere or even Lasombra. Clan Giovanni is not necessarily as arrogant as the individual Giovanni in question.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

They're one of the best.

[@jeevesosiris]

I am currently playing as Brujah in a campaign.

[@inotaishu1]

I wonder why the Osebo weren't mentioned, since they rather go by "we cannot control ourselves so someone else has to do it."

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

The narrator doesn't mention everything and everyone every time ;)

[@inotaishu1]

The Gentleman Gamer That surely not, but this particular branch of Brujah is so different from their counterparts I figured they would be worth mentioning here.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

There's more to them than guns and rage.

[@Diabolik771]

"They fight like lions!"

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@Nejira Thank you!

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@blinddoctorwho Difficult to say, as it changes from time to time. At present? I'm partial to the Ventrue.

[@Frank-Voight-Kampff]

@Deckof51 I think they are a bloodline of the Gangrel (one of the big five) but I'm not 100% sure.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

Maybe at some point, but it's not my specialist subject by any means.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@hoboyho You are correct. Bruja without the h.

[@Biopunked]

Could one play a noir detective from clan Brujah? Which Clan is the best suited to such a character?

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

Ah, always a good one.

[@eclipsexGLVx]

Awsome man I learned a lot about my clan

[@arek314]

Nice guide, Cappadocian was good too. Do you take requests? I humbly ask for Lasombra :)

[@oktoberK]

Will you do a video the clan Toreador?

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@BaldPolishBiotechnol Clan Baali is one clan / bloodline I'm not that familiar with. I know who they are and have their clanbook, but my knowledge of background and aims is woefully lacking. You never know though.

[@alirocker08]

I think he means the video game, VTM: Redemption

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

Thanks!

[@cerberaodollam]

As a neurodivergent libertarian, there is a lot of relatable content in this.

[@YaoiHuntressEarth]

Personally, I think they would've been a better Sabbat clan. If you've read Gehenna's second scenario, Fair is Foul, it reveals the fate of the clan's founder.

[@BaldPolishBiotechnol]

Do you intend to make a video on Clan Baali?

[@oktoberK]

@clackclickbang Thank you. I'd love to learn more about them.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@kirchhoff42 Thank you for watching! I appreciate every comment.

[@blinddoctorwho]

Gentlemen, what is your favorite vampire clan?

[@McMahonHater]

If I were to play a Giovanni wouldn't I look down at these guys while "In Character" ?

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@tetsubo57 But you would need a hell of a lot of woods.

[@tetsubo57]

@clackclickbang And is covered with huge swaths of forest. Every years we have poorly prepared folks getting lost in them. Occasionally, they die.

[@herkles1]

you did not really touch upon the sabbat brujah, if the brujah are about clinging to their humanity, then how does that work for the sabbat who acknowldge they are not human and create paths of enlightmnet? I suppose the sabbat brujah could ride the wave of ideas in the vampire community, as I am sure some concepts become more popular over time. but still intrested to hear your take on the sabbat brujah.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@oktoberK Eventually, definitely!

[@LEGOdewd]

I heard a vampire in Masquerade can be re-embraced by a member of another clan. Is this really in any of the books? If so, what are the rules?

[@tetsubo57]

I don't even own a regular shotgun let alone a sawed-off shotgun. *sigh*

[@Deckof51]

Never would have guessed the Brujah would have held the birthplace of Merlin... IF it were nWoD, I'm guessing the UK would be a huge frigging battleground between the Brujah and the local Mages (Pygmalion, perhaps). And yet I can't actually remember if the Brujah ARE in nWoD. I know the name floats around, but maybe not as a clan.

[@kervin1693]

Ah, now it makes sense.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@blinddoctorwho Ventrue are upcoming, I promise!

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@Deckof51 The Bruja are in the nWoD as a bloodline bunch of bikers and gangers.

[@ryuprimeus3719]

Would the Vampire Lord form Skyrim Fit in Vampire requiem.

[@stellaraevum799]

Ryu primeus No

[@AKPC001]

i know in dark ages, tzimice had the ability to turn into a large batlike form, cant remember the name of it tho, but you could retrofit it in such a way that it looks like the vampire lord form via molding your flesh and some such

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@eclipsexGLVx Excellent! Glad to hear it :o)

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

Good man!

[@YaoiHuntressEarth]

Very true.

[@woodwwad]

@clackclickbang Of course brother, I do so enjoy your channel.
