Yes, but it was less interesting than you would think. Everyone just went "oh that's weird" and proceeded to ignore them unless the monster(s) directly targeted them.
Only thing they realy did was naming a specific ghostly monster ray piest, as it had tentacles and they freed from it's holding cell it to cover their escape.

Agreed. The line is neat and has lots of options for playing. I doubt all nWoD players played all options handed by all books.
nWoD2e is nice, but it's just a supplement of "alternative system" if players are tired with Storytelling 1e. It's just a more complex Mirrors.

It isn't that much popular anymore. Even in their peak, some lines weren't that popular.

Let people play their game and go find a game for your Malkavian. You seem to have special feelings for this character and it would suck if you did that to him.
Simply leave the game and if someone asks why, say something like "Not feeling the game's mood. It isn't for me" or whatever.

I don't think so, roiding requires a consistent dosage schedule and since your body goes back as it was the night you were embraced, you would lose any benefit (if there was any to begin with) with one dose of steroids.

How did mortals get so close to the truth with the two Nosferatu movies? Yes, there's a bit of nonsense in there regarding vampiric vulnerabilities, but they got many little things right. They got the ugly right. More importantly, they got the name right. How did that happen? Was someone punished for breaking the masquerade?

my hc was always that it was intentionally made with aid from the camarilla to make vampires seem more fictional, and, more importantly, to spread the idea that all vampires looked like the nosferatu, and that if they don't look like count orlok, they must not be a vampire.

Nosferatu understand the value of the Masquerade, of secrecy, and of information control, so it seems a bit risky to fly this close to the sun. In 1922, the technology that mortals developed to spread information through moving pictures is still fairly new. Seeing an accurate Nosferatu on screen has a big impact on people's imagination and it's one of the first images propagated through this medium, so it has staying power. Nos elders who were already getting outpaced by new technology by then must have been pretty afraid, and would probably have been massively opposed to a controlled release. Obviously modern Nossies take it in stride and built references around it, but back then?

It'd be funny is it were just a Toreador prank. Imagine the seethe.

For Vampire my approach would be “you can’t RECORD the supernatural on digital media—the files just literally cannot be saved—but live feeds still work”. It makes the classic “security room full of dudes staring at monitors” still functional (and keeps live news coverage and Really Big Streamers a threat to the masquerade), while still making the masquerade fucking possible.

Well, while I'm old enough to have played Vampire when it was released, I don't know that I have much of worth to say about the TTRPG community at the time - I mean we had to create the local club wholesale with friends. All I have is collected echoes of fractured gaming islets. And what little of worth I've had to say I've already bothered everyone with in previous threads.
Two things I distinctly remember: the hope of getting over and beyond the combat-based nature the genre had herited from its origins; the marketing stroke of genius that was the character sheet.
From a systemic standpoint, it might have been a mess, forcing a set number of skills to fit perfect equilibrium in presentation regardless of use/efficiency, but the three columns (physical/social/mental), with their implied promise that each equally represented would be equally important, certainly grabbed quite a few of us.

Since I missed a few threads... "capture the zeitgeist" is such a misnomer. A piece of work doesn't "capture" the spirit of the time, it is *uplifted* by it and those that make it live... As such, well Vampire's time is more than probably waning. It still has things to say, some of us still want to say them, but the new stories people need to *tell* more than probably aren't a perfect fit.
If only: the Masquerade and its hidden societies angle, while not obsolete, feels like side-stepping the issues of the post Transparent-Society we inherited...

tl;dr
an ancient baali who narrowly avoided the destruction of his clan and who finally awoke from torpor in the 90s, later assimilating into the anarch movement while masquerading as a brujah.

probably far fetched, but idc it's an idea i've had for awhile and still think is pretty cool for a villain or sumn

In my character's search through a Sabbat vampire's abandonned Haven, I've found something ususual: a 'kennel' of almost 2 dozzen wights, starved of blood. It appears that the former resident of this Haven was intentionally capturing humans, turning them, and then causing them to become wights through extreme blood starvation. These wights seem to be high willpower wights, for what it's worth

What, reasonably, can I do with these things? Can I blood bond them, and if so how likely are they to listen to my instructions? If they cannot be bloodbound, is it worth it just to burn them and be done with it?

Vampires myth and folk stories have always been a part of history in many cultures, and I don't represent it any other ways in my WoD. Vampires were popularized by penny dreadful novels from 1830 onwards, and before that they were a very common rural myth in many places.
Kindred don't care because those stories never really endangered them, it always provided plausible deniability by scapegoating their own actions on madmen.

I have been thinking of incorporating revenants into my v5 game. As far as I know they arent very fleshed out and operate as generic ghouls. I was thinking of fixing this by implementing some homebrew.

Since revenants are produce vitae naturally, Id assume they could make rouse checks with the penalty for using disciplines above lvl 1 resulting in superficial damage rather than aggravated damage like a ghoul endures. I was also thinking of treating them like thin bloods and giving them blood potency 0 from the conpanion book.

Does this seem fair in keeping with the spirit of older games or am I giving them more than they should get?

Just in case, the reference is dated, it misses the point as far as institutional power is concerned, but it did raise the issue before its time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Transparent_Society

And back to your question: the first aspect is a central issue, people are not only being exposed, they are *parading* themselves for all to see. The horror of the secret society has given space to the horror of the freely open monster telling to its victim's face what it's going to do, and not seeing the issue in any of it, and the horror of the hated yet desired panopticon.
From a language standpoint there'd be a lot to say (the rise of what I call meta-crypsis for example is interesting, with the dominant class, instead of trying to hide what it's doing, changing the discursive norms around it to invalidate any attempt to raise awareness to it) with people talking past one another more than straight out lying (or in some cases decorrelation so complete language loses purpose), but I think the esthetic is where we would need to hit the nerve for some modern fiction around those issues to work.

Trouble is, mind you, I don't think it's as simple as you make it with the monoculture. Artistically, the last years were defined by a culture of pastiche, with more or less succesful results. In music especially, you can basically name any subgenre or period - be it Ethiopian 70s jazz, music concrete or Swiss folk - and find someone doing a more or less exact version. There is an obsession with form over meaning. Add it to a strong resurgence of normative shaming (the whole "cringe" thing) tied to high level of conformism within subgroups and we have a very weird picture.

All in all, vampires may still work , but I think both the Masquerade and gothic-punk aesthetic both unfit *as is* for current times. Sad as it makes me to say it.

(Sorry for the rambling, but I think I'm so close to making an important connection, and failing)

Oh yeah, last time i met a Toreador at a club, conversations turned sour and after killing 7 ghouls completely unarmed i jumped through a window because fuck going through the front door when shots were fired, then i remembered i left my car in front of the club, luckily for me i'm the leader of a faction so i just called two of my Samedi and told one to drive me home and the other to just pick up my car while no one is looking, mind you by that point i had 4 aggravated damage in the tracker so i didn't want to risk it anymore.

As the article and you point out, institutional power is not accounted for so slowly we're getting neither thanks to all the ongoing centralization. I see why you think the proper masquerade and gothic punk are losing relevancy, yet both IRL and in-universe you could grasp the angle they still require the fear of the hunter. The dark ages is what made the masquerade necessary and in a world with ever expanding surveillance/attempts at moral justification of barbarity, the pushback of violence becomes more threatening and so the masquerade is more necessary than ever (along with empowering the factions that support it, neonate :^) ). To this add both the horrors of surveillance (prince now wants you to register your ghouls and if you don't like it guess who's being publicly disparaged as a suspected diablerist) and exposure (here's 5 reasons you should join the self-help brotherhood of set) all woven into the human drama which IMO should be at the center of any decent chronicle for the personal horror. Put some loss of identity to spice it up in the great centralization (pic related). So maybe like what V5 is doing with SI but dial it up to 11 instead of gayer. Elders are more oppresive than ever, the normative moral shaming of cancel culture getting stronger makes it more necessary to hide your sins, these Other degenerate monsters want to ruin you, and gehenna's getting closer night by night. This is prime horror material. As you say, maybe traditional gothic punk and masquerade are losing relevancy, but I think they can be updated. Maybe we can get cybergothic punk, though not sure how much shadowrun already covers this.

Well there's no one size fits all answer, it should relate to the character. Play on their redeeming qualities, have them do something that does not immediately benefit them for reasons that make a degree of sense, that isn't obvious "gimmie humanity" points.

Last major campaign I played in, my character (Ventrue, Neonate) had a couple of humanity regains, most of which revolved around her belief that if someone's not opposing her, or is indeed completely unaware of the supernatural, they shouldn't be harmed. She also had a special soft spot for children. It wasn't purely altruistic, in some ways it was pretty patronizing, but it was her rule. It was human. Some actions that got her humanity back were

>Our Lasombra Antitribu had gotten sloppy looking into a weird supernatural "virus", and kidnapped two people in the middle of the act, one of which was obviously infected. The one who wasn't was some random college dudebro, who ended up being interrogated despite clearly knowing nothing. When she came across this, she was so disgusted that she insulted the Lasombra in his own haven, and took the dudebro away. She used dominate to smooth over his memories of what happened (can't remove the trauma but can keep him from being a masquerade breach and hunted), and sent him to our coterie's doctor with explicit instructions that he is not to be harmed unless he turns into a gibbering monster. He lived.

>Taking several kids home when they were out at like 1 AM in Washington D.C.
>Rescuing several kine that had been kidnapped, mostly children. (these two were one regain, happened same session)

>Defeating a cult without having to kill any of the supernaturally brainwashed kine that had gotten roped into it. Let the official "leader" go when it was clear he was just a mindbroken dude who used to work at an auction house.

So ultimately, humanity regains should be about choosing higher humanity over the impulse of the beast.

Depends on the premise you have in mind and how the PCs are involved. From there, you can more or less write down the major plot points, and they are chained together.

The players are pirates aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge in early 1718. They capture a sloop, and Blackbeard decides it would make a fine addition to his fleet, so some of his crew (including the players) are sent aboard the sloop, which also holds the original crew (now prisoners) and its cargo. That night, during a sudden storm, there's a flash of lightning and all the ships besides the sloop are gone. The players have to figure out where the other ships went - or, possibly, where their own ship went. Did one of the captured crew members work some magic? Is there something special about the ship itself, or perhaps its cargo? Or was this just a freak occurrence? And what's that yonder, on the horizon?

Depends on your player and the type of Chronicle you want to run. We can only talk about what worked or didnt work for our group. Mine liked combat enough that I made sure to include at least once combat scene per session (usually ~3h session), even if it's something easy. Big combat sessions are pretty time consuming, so be aware of that. Personally I always skipped the "go on and introduce yourself to each other" parts, that shit is gay as fuck, characters should be revealed at the appropriate time through the appropriate context. Vampires arent a social club.
As for not making it sounds forced, well it depends also on the events that take place. Usually you give enough agency and time for characters to try and set up their own sub-goals, and the story is just the "arc" which ties it up. The more "serious" or "high-level" the threat is, the less subplots you need to plan for.
Also, build the setting beyond what is needed by the story. Ideally, the setting should be created first, while you are still working the details of the story you want to tell.

As for getting the story unravel naturally, that requires a lot of skill in adaptability you might pin something specific you want with your chronicle but going from start to end shouldn't be written in stone basically, like ok they need to get this item or beat this bad evil guy, what happens if the first person they met that has information on any of those things dies during combat or maybe they rough him up too much during an interrogation and ends dead, how they can proceed (in part this has to come from your players most of the time, you could try to nudge them towards something but they should be always able to propose solutions that you can engage with and help you out make the story)
As for good ways to make a VTM campaign that will depend mostly on your players but my ST mixes up all the splats in our chronicle to make the world feel alive and full instead of being just vampires, but that would take a lot of reading that i don't know if you're willing or ready to do so you might want to go for something simple.

In a vacuum, MtA mages can do anything.
The devil is in the details though.
There's a meta aspect to Mage, in that HOW you do things is as important as WHY you do them - or actually doing them, really.
Certainly, a Mage can turn one matter into another... but how does YOUR mage do it? How does the paradigm you defined support that? Using what tools?
There's going to be - at least there should - a lot of talks and (friendly) arguments about how the characters view reality, and the impact it has on what they can do, when, and how - and what ultimately will be the price of their actions. At those moments, the game may stop to a crawl. THIS is integral part of the game for many of those that love it - waxing philosophical and engineering with a bit of poetry and religion on the side is integral part of the experience.
If you don't like it and just want a game of super-powered beings, then another game might be prove more suitable.

Nah, I really think we'd need an aesthetic overall. Been pondering all day, how some of those traits have been culturally significant in Japan historically, and how to leverage the idea of perfectly executed, empty, meaningless forms acknowledged as such.
I've had that probably stupid idea that there's the seed in that recent fashion for so called "liminal spaces", ASMR and the idea of the /barely/ perceptible that seem to percolate a lot these past few years.

That said, what you’re describing is no too far from my own games right now, with paranoid elders going so far as basically banning any written trace and going into full autodafé mode for any document that could hint at the vampire’s existence and history.
But that’s old stories.

Just imagine what happen and how that affected the environment in terms of crime scenes. as for registries I don't really have any real idea how to deal with those besides giving half of the information on point A and the rest at point B. from there it becomes a question of punting it together in and out of it.

Also prepare three clues, preferably ones that line up with the character's foci/forte, for every one clue that you think you need. And as other poster said, have a good enough sense of the scene that you can give other clues that point where you want players to head. It'll feel like overkill but for players it really feels like they're pulling it all together.

Beer into piss - Coincidental (the only part that wouldn't be would be the smell). Matter 2 is the only sphere you need, so difficulty of the roll is 2 + 3. We'll call it a "Standard Feat" which is described as "Healing yourself, conjuring a small fire," etc)
So you need 2 successes to do it from touch range, let's assume you're doing it from across the room: you need Correspondence 2. Let's suppose you have that. You add one (1) additional success required. All this still at difficulty 5.
I'll assume your character was a technocrat. You use your foci (whatever it is for your paradigm) to accomplish the task.
As an example, we'll say you need your Portable Translocation Device (TM) for Correspondence and your Matter Reconstruction Construct (TM) for Matter. If you were a Mystic (a Hermetic, for example) your foci could be drawing a wand (Matter) and then pointing (Corr) at the drink instead.
But you also don't want to get caught doing this, so we'll say you forgo the M.R.C. (TM) so it just looks like you're fiddling with the other tool. You suffer a +3 on the difficulty for working without usual instruments. Fortunately, you can spend an extra turn (to a max of 3) to reduce the difficulty back down to 5.

Narratively, you plug numbers into your totally-not-a-calculator, which converts the beer into piss. That's it. No OOC explanations of chemical changes required because that would be done by the other instrument, which we've chosen to neglect to use.
Now you roll dice equal to your Arete at that difficulty. If you only have 2, burn a point of (temporary) willpower to add 1 automatic success or do it as an extended action to be able to roll twice (we'll say it takes two minutes)
The victim of tastes the piss beer, immediately spits it out and recoils in disgust. If you fail? Nothing happens. If you botch? Take 2 points of Paradox (shouldn't cause any damage unless you already had more).
TL:DR - your ST was a fool.

That's what I expected. This was over a decade ago but I remember my explanation is "I make a model on my laptop (foci) of what it would take to turn a beer molecule into a piss molecule in my tablet and run .exe", I was expecting this would suffice for such a ridiculous stunt, which was essentially "darn, we've been doing this Mage shit for nearly 3 hours without any magic getting done, might as well try something".
I believe I had the Correspondance required. Anyways, this was one of my few experience as a player and not an ST and it made me want to avoid Mage like the plague. My WoD was pretty much just Kindred, Woofs and Demons.

What is everyones threshold for a masquerade violation? I know there is some gray area, and depending on who you have pissed off in the city will determine how into the gray you can go.
I'm asking because my Nosferatu player has been seen a few times and the local tabloid, think a local version of an old school national inquirer, has reported on his sightings. They refer to him as the Pittsburgh tunnel monster. So he's not seen as a kindred but definitely as some kind of cryptid. There have been no pictures posted of him yet, just a few artists interpretations of what people have described. The kicker being he took huge size as a merit making him very easy to spot and remember as he is over 7 ft tall.

Its more capeshit than urban fantasy with vampires, werewolves, and demons all essentially having the same origins and the game being built more for playing as "the Awakened" (who aren't mages since those are basically just normal occultists who got actual powers when all the other supernaturals showed up) who usually work for a government agency that investigates weird stuff which the public is somewhat aware of but kept mostly in the dark. I like the idea of the Nightmare Zones that allow you to throw in bizarre occurrences and a World of Darkness where the veil/masquerade isn't completely hiding everything. It reminds me of Orpheus with the big inciting incident slowly revealing the existence of the supernatural but not completely and it also reminds me a little bit of Demon the Descent with Nightmare Zones functioning like malfunctioning Infrastructure and the Inconnu being an unknowable 4D chess playing entity like the God Machine (although the Inconnu's goals are flat out said). Orpheus and DtD are probably my favorite WoD/CofD games, so there's quite a few things I like about Monte Cook's World of Darkness, its just a shame its lore is attached to a god awful dice system.

Finally found one I can comment on. Was playing this in early college when it came out. Very new and very fun. My TTRPG group were some of the first to try it in our area. All of our group were min/max fags trying to diablerize their way to 3rd gen or something. It got really stupid with bad players.

Anyway then came MUSHes...which is where the good shit went from 1993-1998 or so were the golden years for that. I think it was mid 90s that LARPing became a thing and I think thats mostly what people did at college since you could meet big tiity goth girls pretending to be vampires.

Yup, mid 90s until early 2000s it was fucking huge. The WoD group at my school was enormous because there was this overlap between the more classical foam sword Larpers, the WoD ones, and then just the regular tabletop players. First game I ever had we were 8 in the group, and people kept bugging us to join in.

You do realize Northerners didn't want to end slavery for the slave's good, right, but because they mostly thought proximity to black folks degraded white people.
Also, if slavery became essentially extinct it's because of a common decision the French and Brits took together and then imposed upon the world.

Chemical or biological warfare (Animalism says hello), WMD as a deterrence (every Euro vampire society is three Discipline uses away from some red button), surveillance, economical/logistical blocade. Maybe psy-ops and brainwashed suicide attacks disguised as common crime, but this is just normal, non-wartime vampire shenanigans.
Ghosts provide additional level of secrecy, although they can be painfully volatile and prone to going off the deep end.
