Dear New York - Vampire: The Masquerade - New York By Night Season 1, Episode 1

[@Hey-Its-Dingo]

I love how Jason is the perfect proof that you can be an amazing GM/Storyteller without needing to be able to do a bunch of different voices, he has maybe 3 on his best days, and he's still amazing in every episode.

[@vampiresnvino]

The days when I can do three distinct voices is a REALLY good day. 😅

[@dynamicworlds1]

"Food? Food? Food? Food? Food? Food? Food? Food? Food? Food? Food? Food? Food?" Perhaps the most accurate depiction of being able to talk to dogs ever.

[@RevilloPhoenix]

His voice might not change that much but he does have many different, distinct and recognizable characterizations. "VICTOR MY BOY" comes to mind as one, or Gary Golden, Amalia and Mitnick from LA by Night, all being distinct.

[@Hey-Its-Dingo]

@@RevilloPhoenix That was part of my point. Some GM/Storytellers think that they need a Mercer or Mulligan level variety of voices to be the best they can, but people like Jason and Aabria are proof that a small number of voices can take you a long way if you learn how to characterize well. Same for players, some actor examples for players are Patrick Warburton and Wendie Malick are both examples of what I mean. They both only really have 1 voice, but you'd never mistake Kronk for Brock Sampson, or Chica for Eda the Owl Lady. (They both happen to have been in The Emperor's New Groove. Lol)

[@Tacocheesecake]

@@Hey-Its-Dingo mercer does revisit voices for different characters, my best example from cr to laBN is Gilmore to Beckett

Alex is delightful. He’s so polite and creepy and terrifying and I love everything about Isaac.

[@onemoregodrejected9369]

When vampires are polite and well manered only means they play the game really well

[@koseorhun]

A delightful change of pace. What I didn't get was, he just gave the flesh for others to carry. Isn't his ilk compelled to, you know, flesh craft?

[@DeGBitch]

@@koseorhun It's not a compulsion. Tzimisce are 'flesh crafters' and a lot do find enjoyment in it, but they don't have to do it. As per V5, their only compulsion is hoarding, (leaning into the whole draconian nature of the 'old clan').

[@elijahculper5522]

@@koseorhun tzimisce children do tend to get a frowning face in sharing on their kindergarten report cards. But we haven’t really figured out what he collects yet. He’s got a clan weakness that he needs to have a collection and surround himself with it while he day sleeps. If I had to guess, I’d say it’s prolly cars. If his collection isn’t briefcases, old tech, or hands, he’d be able resist hoarding those things as long as he keeps his beast in check.

[@koseorhun]

@@elijahculper5522 I get the hoarding, but this is just similar to a ventrue letting someone else take a gold watch, or toreador with a painting. Not the official compulsion but the only one among them to care about a body part

[@onemoregodrejected9369]

I really live how Jason applied the "impresion you want to make" system he used on the 5th season of LA chronicle to make social scenes so much very complex and interpreted, developed. He stepped up his game a lot

[@onemoregodrejected9369]

@Hakonskise I really like how Rey handled lossing his temper. He seems a character who has a very conflicted dual personality, his humanity being more of a cold and calculating persona, a total high class urbanite (i mean... he got a tailored suit) but he got embraced by clan Gangrel, the most feral and animalistic one. Cant wait to crack a wolf of wall street bad joke.

[@onemoregodrejected9369]

@Hakonskise Want to make bets? I think byt the end of the season he got rid of the tailored jacket. Or at least has it half torn. Gangrels gona gangrel.

Agreed! Absolutely gorgeous!

[@nosferat-ew]

yes!!! she absolutely glowed I couldn’t stop noticing!

[@bruhmyster2104]

weird thing to say but i agree.

[@MommyOfZoeAndLiam]

Different skin tones need optimum lighting in different ways and with them filiming from different angles, using multiple cameras, the film noir feel they are going for, and lighting multiple people at different tables, not everyone will always get their optimum lighting, so I am just crediting the lighting director for really making her look glowing, as the whole cast deserves to look amazing (my experience is not recent, so newer technology may have made what I knew about lighting for video obsolete, but at the time I learned it was harder to properly light deeper skin tones and they were often an afterthought in multi-shot situations).

[@carna-9501]

Tzimisce are beautifully cruel, one asked a man "how does it feel to see your insides?" After turning him inside out, the man responded "a wise man can always look within." The Tzimisce embraced him then and there. Vlad Tepes, yes THE Vlad Tepes impaled 20k people of wallachia and then approached the Tzimisce in the carpathians, demanding to be embraced. He cited his recent acts as a reason, and was also embraced on the spot. As I said, beautifully cruel.

[@grimjudgment6527]

The Ravnos are pretty interesting but their original lore was pretty problematic. Basically, they were all Romani and were associated with being "Criminal Gypsie tricksters" now they're "Daredevils and tricksters" long ago in the lore, the Ravnos would have their skin darken the older they were from the mark of Caine (Kinda like mormon myth) So the reason why you don't know about then much is because not a lot of people were comfortable having to play racist stereotypes of people that have been oppressed for centuries.

[@Nyrufa]

@@grimjudgment6527 Not all of them. Only the western branch of the clan was associated with crime and vice. Those who lived in the east managed to largely avoid that bit of stigma. Unfortunately, White Wolf's method of resolving the situation, was to purge virtually the entire EASTERN branch of the clan, and leave most of the survivors hailing from the WESTERN. Really sent mixed messages.

[@Nyrufa]

@@grimjudgment6527 The skin darkening was a trait of clan Assamite, and it stemmed from their use of Quietus. It's said the elders of their clan became so dark, they resembled living shadows. I can't find anything in my V20 talking about the Ravnos getting darker.

Rey's attitude; Serif's troublesome perky nature; Fuego's sensual flirtatious "soft power"; and Isaac's otherworldly creepy determination. Loved it all. Great job by Jason Carl giving just enough direction to let the players explore and react to the world.

Oh I missed that Alex Ward grin

[@zhivik]

I loved this one :) The best of all is that this group appears to be much better acquainted with game mechanics, which opens the doors for much more situational roleplay. Just to make it clear - I loved the roleplaying and characters in LA by Night, as well as the story. However, I wished time and time again that players would deal with some of the game mechanics that the Vampire: the Masquerade offers, like compulsions, Humanity checks, etc. I am never a stickler for the rules, I just think using all the mechanics of this game gives a lot more opportunities for character development and interesting outcomes. And of course, I've just realised how much I missed the dry humour of Jason Carl and his snappy remarks ;) I do feel I am back home with this series, so I am looking forward to next week :)

[@robertmcguire4228]

I hope they release a podcast for this also like they did for seasons one and two of LA by Night.

I am so glad to see Jason Carl back behind the DM screen. I have missed you. Although great job as Strahd Von Zarovich. I am so hyped for this game, it's gonna be great.

Oh my god, the dramatic pause, comments and smiles from Jason Carl and Alex Ward at 22:35 was definetly my favourite moment and had me grinning from ear to ear; it's so good to have some familiar faces with this (for me)-new and awesome cast!! Thank you so much to all the cast and crew for making this, when I first found LA by Night I never thought I'd be actually playing the game, but here we are some time later and my first session is scheduled for this month! I can't wait to see what kind of trouble this lot will cause, I'm so excited I'm rambling, I just wanted to leave a comment for algorythmical purposes lol

[@paareth]

Thank you for putting in a Ravnos character they don't get many stories. Tzimisce was also a nice touch. Looking forward to watching these new series.

[@iduno3592]

Man I want Jason to narrate an audiobook book to me so badly. Any of the Anne Rice stuff, there is a series I've planning on getting around to called Fred the vampire accountant. Just anything, such a good voice for narration, especially dark stuff.

[@cravenmadness967]

Hah... Has anyone made a 'Wolf of Wallstreet' joke yet? 'Cause if not, that's a missed opportunity lol. Corporate Gangrel of New York... nicely done.

[@Armandomrg]

Jason Carl & Alexander Ward they work so well together. Jasper was my favorite in LA by Night and now its Isaac.

[@JnEricsonx]

Jasper is the kind of character that is the fan favorite on TV shows HANDS DOWN.

Alex Ward and Aabria Iyengar playing VTM together? Oh fuck yes.

The romance begins anew. Hello there Screen...

[@gattiam7006]

I've never played Vampire The Masquerade and this is my first World Of Darkness episode, but I'm a huge fan of Iyengar so I absolutely had to give this a gander. Thank you so much WOD for giving my favourite TTRPG player a stage

[@QualiaRedux]

I’ve really been looking forward to this! Very nicely done. Especially on edge considering these kindred are so young they don’t know to be scared of a Tzimisce.

[@DeGBitch]

When I realised they didn't know, I got so giddy. It's so much fun watching players and characters realise they aren't the scariest bitch on the block when a Fiend shows up.

[@darksaga2006]

I love how quickly the players think and how well the conversations flow. I wish I could play that naturally

Kinda hard to not remember of the LA by Night music intro after the Jason Carl presentation, so remarkable! I'll to get used to to this new one, eventually... Wish you all the best on this new chapter! Let's go vamily!

Can we ever hope to get this adapted to an animation, so that the rest of the world can witness this amazing story and world? I keep hoping.

So hyped for this. Jason Carl is my all-time favorite GM.

[@xoxsnoof]

The way Jason portrays each character's inner Beast makes me so interested in what he'd do as a Shadowguide in a Wraith game... I'm new to the By Night series here but I'm really liking the cast on this, they're all quirky and fun. Special fondness for Serif and Fuego but everyone's doing great. Excited to get caught up for season 3!

[@Dusios]

Jason's ability to set the tone of a game is stunning.

[@vampiresnvino]

Very kind, thank you

49:00 First time watching VtM campaigns coming from Critical Role and D20. The guy who play Isaac at, at 49:00 just absolutely kills it. He doesn't blink once. Did they get an actual vampire?

[@jarofjam5705]

the levels of women supporting women in this is so cute and funny it’s this fairly brooding type of story and they’re constantly complementing peoples outfits i love it so much

[@arietta.c]

They’ve actually had a one shot on international women’s day, with Alex Ward as the storyteller. And by my knowledge before it Vampires was a tabletop game it was more LARPing meetups and communities all just in the game, so I think them having the outfits be a direct part of the character is what makes it more it’s own thing through homage and further separate then say DnD

[@alexavierherbert2481]

@@arietta.c where can i find this one shot?

[@keldon888]

I wanna to compliment Jason's level of knowledge and mastery of everything thats happening he always feels in control and is always weaving the story. And also I love how young everyone is in this one, a great difference from the more experienced coterie in LA by Night.

So glad to see Jason Carl back and his love for screen! And seeing Alex play another "monstrous" clan, I'm excited! I haven't seen any of the other members yet nor their work, but I love Gangrel and the creative ways people try to play them other than just savages, maybe this is why I love Beckett so much, so I'm also looking forward to this Corporate Gangrel. It's also another Anarch coterie and they're playing fledglings as well, not even Neonates, so they've just been plopped down in this dark world recently! This is good, especially for new viewers as well of VTM.

[@TheMarcHicks]

Ah, so this is set in-between Cotories of New York and Shadows of New York. I didn't exactly shed any tears after learning of Callihan's death! I am curious, though, if the Cotorie will end up meeting Qadir al-Asmai during this series!
