There's something going on with these characters and I would love it so much if this campaign was "Oops, All Sabbat"

[@TheGamblingisgood]

Considering LA was 'sabbat who?' this would please me greatly

So he's both a wolf of wallstreet and a corporate shark, I wonder how many expressions can fit in one character *It's really great seeing the less used clans and disciplines on display

[@Darkmage1293]

Oh my god. 1:48:45 - Isaac just flat out saying "That's a cute power. I'll burn a willpower and move because I want to." ....and that sassy pen snap and hand wave, just to let Simone know he's in control despite acquiescing, GOD DAMN. I love Isaac being the unflappable rock. He doesn't need to be part of the Rose Garden or the Blue Bloods, or the Ministry, all enforcing or effectuating power, he just exudes it through iron will. I love it.

[@tearsong8744]

100% part of Issac's charm as a character and Alex plays it so well.

[@Darkmage1293]

@@tearsong8744 - It's fun to see. Victor RARELY used his powers, actually riding on pure charisma to convince people and only pulling the trigger "for the greater good". Meanwhile, Isaac uses his powers only when he wants to stay in control. It's a good contrast of character builds who have Dominate as a power.

[@tearsong8744]

@@Darkmage1293 That's one of the things I love about this game. While clan powers can overlap things never get boring because different personalities use the tools in their arsenal differently.

Long shot, but I wonder if Rey dips further away from his humanity and thus society, he might take a dive and start hanging out with the Mariner Gangrels. Again, long shot since he's the corporate guy, but it's a thought.

[@Alphademongel]

I'm not seeing anyone mention this in the comments, so... Fuego is on the fast track to become something akin to a Sabbat. She's got no issue with killing if it even remotely serves her interests (her first feeding victim, the security guard), is obsessed with gaining power (a Ventrue trait, but even by their standards it's extreme), seems to idolize The Beast (this is the first episode she's ever talked back to it, usually she's enthusiastically going along with it's desires, and she straight up said she saw Rey's beast as powerful and something she wanted), and uses the gifts of her blood the most at the table (constantly using Blood Surge, immediately using Dominate, etc). Contextually, New York was Sabbat territory and the Camarilla booted them. Making the Camarilla gentrifiers and the Sabbat the locals. Given Fuego's feelings towards gentrifiers this is an interesting parallel that adds to her eventually going Sabbat, or at least acting like one. I absolutely love what Rey did in The Pit. Just before going in he said he was going to have a conversation with his new boss. Now in the context of the conversation he was having, on the surface it seems like he's talking about Richter. He isn't. He's talking about The Beast, and the point of going into The Pit was to prove he was in charge and could control it. That's why he acted like he lost, and why he says afterward that he hopes to win "when it counts". Similarly to Fuego, this is a hint of Sabbat ideology. Attempting to prove mastery of The Beast instead of repressing it is one of the goals of most Paths of Enlightenment, and combined with his personality he's a shoo-in for Path of Power and the Inner Voice. Do I think this will turn into a Sabbat Pack over time? No, World of Darkness has been pretty clear so far that players aren't meant to be Sabbat, and there isn't enough in the official source book to convert (removing Humanity without a replacement makes remorse tests and Diablerie break down). Is it interesting to see the parallels and dream? Absolutely!

[@taranml5948]

With Jason Carl you never know 🙈 we might see that at least some of them will join the Sabbat...)

[@MrBillblabla]

Being a monster and deciding to kill for power and not caring is something most vampires in world of darkness feels. Fledgelings like the coterie try and cling to their humanity. Some drop that early. Most older kindred in the Camarilla and Anarch movement would have no problem kill like Fuego kills. The Sabbat is a waaay more bloody gang then someone who just have no problem killing. If you get into that crowd, you do not only have no problem killing mortals, you live for it. Humans are called bloodbags, they have hunts on rooftops and have no problem leaving gore and blood after they leave a town. Saying Fuego is fast track to become them is a bit much. They are a whole different league of killers.

[@Peecamarke]

Yeah, the chars and interactions are nicely refreshing and contrast to LA by Night making them both have their own unique flare

[@catarinabarbosa2247]

i don't think she idolizes the beast itself, i think that's because she has sire issues and that's the voice the beast "takes" were it any other voice she would have no trouble saying no

[@SvenTSexgore]

I don't think she idolized the Beast so much as did not understand it. Watch Aabria's face as Fuego when they're learning exactly what a wight is. As an uneducated kindred her Beast was telling her to do what her darker instincts already wanted to do and giving her the power to do it and the power to (apparently) evade consequences. It's only now that she's learning there are non-mortal consequences to doing so. I suspect after this episode we'll see her trying to push back more against her Beast though time will tell if that's too little, too late.

[@konradkurz8353]

I love how excited Isaac gets at around 1:30:00 during the fight. Seeing Rey's Gangrel transformation has the Tzimsice RIVETED. Small details, but very cool rping on his part.

[@tearsong8744]

His expressions and body language are the most interesting to watch because he coveys so much while saying very little. I enjoyed that about his performance as Jasper in LA by Night as well.

Its kind of wild that some Tzimisce and the Ministry are in the Anarchs in v5, like that is one sinister duo man. The Anarchs need be careful to not let the Serpents and the Dragons gain to much influence in the factions, cause I can easily see the Anarchs turning into the Sabbat 2.0 with those mad lads running the show.

[@87Julius]

That would make the Anarchs a much more interesting group, as is they are far too one-sided and transparent. There has to be a way to twist and direct all this talk about freedom from the inside, no doubt.

[@Peecamarke]

I mean, that could be a hidden plan. Every time the Anarchs have gathered and at their peak someone from inside/outside intentionally sabotages it 🤦‍♂️

[@smuggrog9821]

@@87Julius Oh it definitely makes them a more interesting faction. The Brujah and Gangrel views on freedom vs the Tzimisce and Ministry view on it, is interesting and these clans kind of mirror each other. Both the Brujah and Ministry want freedom for others and themselves while the Gangrel and Tzimisce are more focused on thier own freedom, but how each of these clans express these ideals varies wildly. I just think that the Tzimisce and Ministry would probably be more efficient at getting shit done then the Gangrel and Brujah, which where the concern comes from.

[@Amalkavs]

I was thinking the same just now, this season is wild.

[@esteban20969564]

Well the tzimisce are the REAL anarchs along side with the lasombra. And the elder is very much alive in the sewers of new York.

[@TheFictionic]

I feel like watching this coterie is like watching a machine on its last legs bouncing, bellowing smoke and spewing its rivets that will explode the second one those rivets bounce back from the walls. Rey and Fuego are seemingly in a competition of who can cause most problems down the line. These "little mistakes" are getting into "meet the sunrise" territory. Soon only the Sabbat would applaud their behavior. Insanely reckless. And the minister better hope that her position within the church is secure if she is willing to throw her weight around like that or there might be someone else getting an easy promotion. There are extremely rough enemies at play in these nights. The Sabbat seemingly vying to get their city back, barony weakened and Camarilla being possibly undermined by a ideologist from the Anarchs. It won't be smooth sailing and it seems that the coterie's ship is anything but weather proof. Enjoying it though.

[@drosarius5929]

I'm totally with you on this. GINO and Baby Slutsa Vamp are like watching a house slowly catch fire. Neither one can control even the mildest of impluses and they are putting the pedal to the metal driving that van at full speed into the wall of disaster. I just hope they don't take Isaac and Seriph with them. Seriph is mostly harmless and is still a little run by her emotions, but she knows when to act and when to hold back. Isaac is the only compitent character in the coterie and the only one likely to survive the Chronicle in general. Of course he's also the only character that doesn't have an emotional breakdown everytime someone gets a hangnail either.

[@MALS010]

Episodes like this are some of my favorite type of vtm episodes as while it may seem "slow" a LOT is actually happening within the PCs and NPCs. *SPOILERS* We see a larger wedge forming between Serif and Rey as Serif sees Rey as less of a noble if overstepping person and more of what she sees her Sire as. For Rey's part I think he went into the pit because he NEEDED a win, ANY win. To lose to the beast humiliated him further and caused him to lash out at the person who truly wanted to help him. Isaac seems to be taking a mama bird approach with the coterie now and I don't blame him. I initially thought the Dragon would see them as HIS, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe if they prove themselves more. Fuego is HUNGRY. Hungry for attachments, hungry for control, hungry for power, and hungry for freedom. In her hunger she didn't give af about punking Consuela out, despite the troubles it may bring her and her coterie. I forsee an attempt at diablerie in her future. Simone (who I STAN) is by far the most powerful, influential and dangerous kindred the coterie has met by far, and they should love her and despair now that they have her favor. Settites/Ministers are the most invasive clan of kindred and by the time you realize they're in your city, it's MUCH too late. Simone has shown in this episode that she is deeply imbeded in Anarch and Camarilla (that gun was from Fuego's sire I just know it) politics while owing allegiance to neither. She was able to punk out Consuela and make her love it in her own damn club without any fear of revenge from the Baron. I'm willing to bet money that if push came to shove, Simone's cultists would kill and die for her. Also I think when she asked the coterie "Are you hungry?" she was asking TWO questions but the coterie didn't catch it. I look forward to see if the coterie can maintain their humanity under the Serpent Queen's loving gaze.

Thanks so much to the cast and crew for making this! =)

Nah I can’t be the only one bumping to the background music and struggling to pay attention……right?

I know who's gonna play tnight so I am exciiiiiiiteeeeeeeed~

A Setite calling another clan trash, that’s funny.

[@softwire8272]

I realized on episode 6 that I am completely invested and enthralled in this story! Amazing story telling!

Rey being a loan shark is so amazing

[@natashaharris8995]

This show is Everything 😎🖤🧛🏻‍♀️

[@TheAzManiac]

Its been too long since weve seen a Minister in 'by night.' The 5th edition rewrite really made me appriciate the clan in ways I never have before.

[@thearchbishopofcaracas]

the moment between Isaac and Simone made me understand Consuela a little bit more xD

[@BexWouldlikeSomePie]

So...... Rey is a Loan Shark Right?

[@jazzknh1105]

I'm actually ashamed of myself that I didn't make that connection sooner.

[@philipearakaki]

Simone is absolutelly getting a nice tan after forcing her presence on Consuelo

[@David_Blake91]

Eh, depends on the terms that she is on with Rictor. Consuela is just his underboss after all, and if Simone is acutally someone important, as she claims to be, then Rictor might just let this one fly...

[@Jaems_Scott]

If the Riffraff don't get her, LoL!!

[@Kawamura2]

@@Jaems_Scott yeah, don't think she wants to underestimate thin bloods. I still like her character, to some degree, but yeah, that was a mark against her imo.

@@Kawamura2 = Yeah, especially for someone who preaches the value of Autonomy and taking care of those, even lower than themselves.

Oh perfect! I hear they just installed a nice tanning bed downstairs.

WOW, Persephone is so fantastic at playing these sorts of unflappable, powerful characters. Can’t wait to see how Simone’s presence might influence the coterie in the future

[@Tuberiascaesar]

You'd think after so long, a thinblood would have learned Annabelle is one of the few vampires who isn't a snot towards them. And I wouldn't want to meet someone like simone thin or thick blood.

[@midnightpredator18]

ok but i need the background playlist tho

[@taranml5948]

I need to admit, I have some mixed feelings about this episode. It seems that Simone is an important player on the board, but it is unclear why does she want our coeterie on her side. Scull is not found, monster is not fought, Rey did something very unlogical to me and tried to archive what exactly? I find the cast simply fantastic ❤ They all do a great job of bringing the characters to us. This week however I was not able to connect to the story... Two episodes to go, let's see where we'll be in two weeks.

[@dungeonsanddobbers2683]

There's an argument to be made that you don't have to have every session connected to the "main plot", however I don't think you can reasonably apply that argument to a series that has a limited number of episodes and I do agree that this episode comes off as a wasted opportunity for the coterie to actually do the things they're meant to be doing (tracking down the skull for Cat and taking care of the Wight to protect the Masquerade). I don't think Rey's actions were illogical, he's the toughest member of the coterie and has had the crap kicked out of him in every fight they get in to. Jumping into the pit was his way of trying to prove to himself that he _can_ hold his own in a fight, but even though he won the fight, he only did so by frenzying, causing him to treat it as a loss (IIRC one of Rey's Convictions is to not give in to the Beast) As for Simone, I don't like her as a character. She's a Fledgling throwing around the arrogance of an Elder and getting her way every time (I don't think she failed a single dice roll during the episode which, imo, is pretty sus) as well as acting like she knows everything there is to know about being Kindred even though she's _barely_ older than Isaac is.

[@shycephalopod5717]

two episodes to go? I hadn't heard about the length of the season, can you point me to where they said that?

[@shycephalopod5717]

@@dungeonsanddobbers2683 simone definitely has a lot of seemingly unwarranted confidence. I'm not familiar with the actress, but its silly that she's barely a year older than isaac and out here giving advice. Maybe she's new to vtm?

[@MrShadowbite]

@@shycephalopod5717 I took it as typical Follower of Set (Ministry) behavior. They always try to make themselves out as superior and knowledgeable.

[@shycephalopod5717]

@@MrShadowbite very fair. Also, do you happen to know anything about this "two more weeks" business? I hadn't heard the first season will be so short!

Going by how he's like being a thin blood is the best thing I feel like a panda side plot might be going on.
