Remember, whenever a human does something, you must think of it as an act of kineness.
Oh my Cain, those videos are so entertaining, it is so much better than some guy sitting in his room reading a basic rules. Amazing RP.
It is a fascinating look as the relation between the vampires and humanity, of course delivered in an impeccable manner by the Gentleman himself :D Also, looking pretty spooky there ;)
These videos are my new drug.
How did I miss this! An updated Humanity vid!!!
Esse cara não pisca, Isso é impossível! 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
He's undead oOoOO!
Bro who hurt you
WTF are you on about ?
Despite being dead for all intents and purposes, it is their contact with mortals that makes vampires come alive. Either that's rather poetic... or it cements their status as leeches. Maybe both.
Beriorn or our hell on earth.
It's amazing how with every video you appear less human. Or is it just my imagination :p
"We should save our conversation of the Sabbat for when that book is relea...eerrrrr, uhhh...for another time, NEONATE!" lul
LordSlag I don't get that joke
Emperor Atlantis
Waiting for V5's Sabbat splatbook to be released.
These are not simply watched or listened to. They’re absorbed.
Thank you Gentleman.
Still struggling with which cry to end this, as I have two favourite clans
Por Siempre Brujah
Or
Vivat Lasombra
How you manage being an authority and a rebel at the same time?
The question is - why are you a rebel? You can be a rebel because you want to fight the tyranny. Authority does not equal tyranny. You can have authority and be a rebel when it comes to certain forms of oppression. Brujah Princes and Barons exist...
Personally I identify more with Tzimiche
So the undead abide by the laws of thermodynamics... We give, we take and, in each cycle, a little is lost to entropy.
Always good to have a elder to tell us whats right and whats wrong
My frame ripples in anticipation of you covering the Sabbat.
please keep up the videos! they make my day... or is it night?? how one finds such delight in the World of Darkness, the savage gardens of the worlds. ♡♡
I love this the pale light added to the effect truly great video.
Even we gangrel must come to terms with our humanity. although i do strongly defend to the concept of "animals are BETTER than humans," i have come to find that protecting my small town ,from what ever dark forces attempts to harm it, as a most powerful "touch stone".
I'm so glad the oWoD is coming back. NWoD was good but it seemed to miss the social roles that this has.
Arguably the most important video in the series. Love the living; remember, you're still a human and you'll still have basic human instinct and cognitive functions. I can understand why so many look upon mortality with disdain... it's a condition which has been substituted by another with apparent advantages and a sense of kinship perhaps missing among such a diverse herd of beings. I, conversely, found myself treating them with far greater compassion and respect, and they invariably reciprocate it. I used to be a sort of "peevish librarian" if you will towards my fellow man, rejecting his presence as an affront to my peace; now I want to cherish them and do what is best for them. Honestly, this is has proven to be the best part of becoming this sort of predator. They're livestock to be sure, but that's only credit to their value in my eyes.
Loving these videos. Never been able too play the game. At least there’s lots of lore and stories.
Yea me too. Played the game in early 90s but since haven't found anyone to play. Glad there areore nerds like me out there but most want the safe cushy blanket of DND. ;(
Squid Bat The main difference I’ve found with my gaming group is VtM seems more about actually role playing. Quite a few in my group just like playing DnD just for the combat. As I said, I’ve never played VtM. I’ve always heard that the dice system is it’s “weak” spot. Getting the new book hopefully next week. May have to just find a discord group :/
Mark Keller
How do trust another person's rolls through the internet? Honor system? Ha! Highly doubt it. When nerds hold power it is usually corrupted so easily.
Odd Apprentice this is true. Even with dice plugins and programs like tabletop simulator. There are ways of getting desired results. When I had my back injury I played DnD with my group via ventrilo. When it came too dice rolls I let the DM roll the dice.

_May your DM be honorable. Even when creating a world made to manipulate and kill your character._
Love the lighting
Though if you look you can tell the paleness ends just under the chin and down the neck. :)
Great stuff Matt. You are doing a sterling job selling the new edition concepts.
Bravo sir! BRAVO!!!
You know, I was wondering if paths would use different Touchstones, as well as Convictions, to differentiate it from Humanity. It sounds like you're saying here that's the case
Path of Bones should call their Touchstones "Memento Mori", I'm calling it here
I finally have gotten convinced to try the new humanity system. Thank you gentleman
Sabbat is going to get nasty. Even though the new morality system is quite good and interesting, I still think the Roads from the Dark Ages were very nice and diverse, and I miss them. The road of sin, road of the kings, road of heaven, road of the beast... too cool to trash it
Joswwar
But this isn't the Dark Ages anymore. It's like survival mode for certain clans. Way more political if I remember from the conventions of V5. Church powers are backed by a different military and the governments associated with them.
_Gotta wear the mask in a masquerade. Especially with Werewolves, Mages and Hunters ready to crash the party._
Odd Apprentice then they are no longer Sabbat just a bunch of strange Anarchs, the Paths are the Faith, the enlightenment they bring is the Truth of what it is to be Sabbat [/endPackPriestMode]
what sabbat? if the second inquisition hasn't found them, they are in the middle east as far as anyone will tell you.
@@lyredragon
I wouldn't be so quick to listen to "fake news" about the 2nd Inq. and what they do know and say they do not know with in their governments.
Not to question your knowledge on the matter but the kine have always hidden truth in plain sight. It's why their media pushes movies about kindred. Think about it!
Again, I apologize and hold my tongue on the matter. And if I am correct, I wouldn't be surprised nor insulted of you took credit for this theory. I'm use to it.
@@justicar5
Of course. A high official such as yourself would always deny the existence of possibilities for traditions in the Camarilla. Tell me, how did that work for during the revolt of the 1st Inq? No offense.
*smirks on the inside*
I'm getting slight LaCroix vibes in this video.
Tbh the Gentleman Gamer said before he is pleased of being compared so much with that pompous ventrue 😅
Is the Clan of the Gentleman known? He seems to speak of Dominate discipline but when talking about Ventrues and Tremere it seems like he does not treat himself as one of their kind. My guess would be Lasombra with the Chicago By Night lore updates (assuming there are some).
Someone told me about a week ago on here that he is a Harbinger of Skulls, as evidenced by a pin that he wears on his suit jacket, as well as just how pale he is (with darkened eye sockets, etc.). Harbingers of Skulls are Cappadocians. If you played the video game, VtM Redemption, the Cappadocians are the clan that lived in the monastery, and Serena was one. Giovanni was a bloodline off of clan Cappadocian (I seem to recall that was the case), and the Giovanni bloodline wiped out basically all of the Cappadocians and became a clan of their own. I don't recall how, but given how most of the lore works, they probably diablerized a Cappadocian antediluvian or some such.
He's looking quite spry for someone with Appearance 0
I'm pretty sure my Tremere, Toreador, or Brujah from Bloodlines would probably have been happier dealing with GG than that arrogant prick LaCroix.
As always a Great Video.
Good job. Did not break character once. 🙂 Great perspective.
Love The Gentleman's views on our peculiar lifestyle. Question will the Gentleman be doing a video on character creation for 5th either here or his personal channel? I wen a little crazy and ordered the slipcase set the dice the screen and got the PDF of Beckett's. Keep up the good work!
Humans can be monsters, and we can be human... and monsters...
Maybe post a link to the Gent's Channel, so those who have only just encountered him can experience more of him with a click. He has so many good videos!
I like characters enttitled to be "more human". I made a concept vampire who was a vampire hunter who tricked a lowbie vamp to turn them into a kindred (then left their sire to meet the sunrise) so they can infiltrate in the "demons den" so they can meet and stake the "vampires head" to bring them along to the sun rise to end the evil, but suddenly found the vampires society is far toó complex than was expected.
They are interested on the Sabbat preaching of open jyhad but despises their lack of humanity, considers the camarilla dangerous but acknowledges their labor to keep their own numbers to avoid vampires go uncontrolled, anarchs are the most humane for both good and bad things, considers most of the vampires innocent victims that should meet the sunrise anyway, the head vampires are guilty and the should meet Jesus and then the sunrise... Very "stacky" caracter, but not dumb. Mandatory humanity above 7 always
Better played ir added true faith + only drinks animal blood + bonus:frenzy roll upon see anyone feed on human blood even if a blood bag.
Innocent humans getting killed is another roll but evil humans like assasins, rappists, depraved people deserve good old bonfire roast and the player is free to acknowledge some humans as worse the vamps... 👌
And watch as his humanity and views slowly change during play, untill the end and the hunter has become the same monster he has been after, despite a achieving his goals.
😀 hell yeah
I want to explore ways to be a merciless creature with a "humanity 10" score to prove how twisted and dark is WoD universe. Because stacking and leaving for a sunrise a fleshling embraced a few hours who was still scared, trembling, lost, licking the fangs trying to figure out what they had become and why the body hurted so much is just an act of humanity and divine mercy from our lord and saviour. May I follow as soon i can the purified souls to obtain God's salvation alongside this so called "antediluvians", amen.
Oh, wow, even better, i think i am going to make it a malkavian who actually was a prostitute/ drug dealer/clown for hire on kids parties or so in life but believes in all that bullshit from being a vampire hunter before embrace.
@@onemoregodrejected9369
You're just as batshit insane as your character
wonderful as aways
Strangely as relevant to the living, as the dead.
Gentleman, where have you gone? We must have more!
You should feed soon, or use the tricks of Obfuscate soon again, lest you break the Masquerade...
Kickass.
Mister why do you keep following me? I'm scared...
Agustina Kazuyo You are a goddess!
In 1996 when I was 9 I went to a book store, there I saw in the rpg section a book that stood out from other genres because of its marble green cover, that marked me, 2 years later I bought that same book started a group in my apartment complex, that was good days.... I havent played a game in over 10 years +.... whitewolf or whoever is running needs to realize a better marketing strategy and get new players involved... seriously if it wasnt for me googleing vampire the masquerade for some nostalgia I would never knew theres a nee book coming out.... and worse the book wont be available in stores not reaching new public.
Augusto Silva This book will be in stores!
Where should White Wolf advertise V5 to reach veteran players like you? Your ideas might help.
I hope he does the other wod books
Nice
Thanks for the videos! These are very useful for the VTM project I'm working on in roblox
nice
Love the video, but I really thought you were hinting this episode would be about more Clans
imthestein There will be even more about the clans in the next video!
The Gentleman Gamer YES!
What with the Path of Lilith being demoted to a loresheet that completely changes their character by putting them on humanity, the statement about Sabbat being on 'twisted touchstones' makes me fear they will also be stuck with Humanity, and thus have their fundamental nature changed...
Sadly this series didn't go on did it?
I was only contracted for these episodes ;)
Oh, this is going to be useful to my Changeling players. They keep wanting touchstones to be things and places. This might help them grok what this new thing is about.
can't wait til the big reveal what can he's from. only dived into wwta; I know...I know!
I want to guess Cappadocian
ohoh? Didnt notice any pin, a lucky guess then
Shhhhhh dont name them ... Not yet 😉
" -He is a Cappadocian- Yea. We all really would like to know!" Said by any Giovanni in existence
He admits to being harbinger of skulls on his channel on his video concerning him. It may have just been the only way to justify him knowing anything about them, but he has certainly been playing it up as cannon.
haaa... la raison d'être.
Seriously tho, I'm watching this while drawing a Crinos messing up a vampire 👌
Being Kindred and having a romantic relationship with Kine is like Kine having a relationship with a dolphin. Disgusting.
Don't knock blowhole fucking until you've tried it.
@@OminousVoice :::thinks of The Boys....cracks up:::
In many ways ahead of Kindred. For they have advanced, from Monarchism to Republicanism.
Humanity... what is it?.. it's something that doesn't appear to be in V5.
Kavu's Corner page 236-239.
Who the fuck needs humanity sure we need humans but emotions are a hinderance and the vampire is predator and human is prey end of story.
Great video, but I hate V5 and it's Humanity touchstones.
Samuel Haight
Isn't V5 a return to the oWoD? Or do you merely fear the humanity in you is nothing more than a weakness?
Agreed. But posses some interesting interactions to the StoryTellers.
I can say the same about Hunger, and the 'blood characteristics' on V5
@@danielcosta-rf3fd
But if you watch the V5 presentation, the rules are quite flexible. I haven't played V5 myself but I have seen others on the "roll4it" play it. Maybe it can give you a better idea how the rules are applied and how it effects game play.
"Though, maybe your pride & ego will not let you.
And who am I in the community to give you bits of information if not as a gesture of my usefulness?
It is probably why the 2nd Inq is here and why the Autarkis do what they do.
I bid you a goodnight."
[End Scene]
@@user-jv7gr1jb3r
I've read the presentation of V5, and I've entertained myself with some of it's dynamics, Humanity and Hunger been the ones were V5 puts a more strong hold, when V20 is pretty more liberal. Touchstone are one of the enforcments that didn't exist until now
"Your probably one of the few among us that still count humans among your closet friend. And allthough they're a pretty tempting snack, their company(usefullnes) remind me of what we must strive for.
That closeness might have made me pass through some rough nights, but even that could not take away the fun we've been having.
Thank you for the bit of information. We'll make good use out of it. Have a nice night"
@@danielcosta-rf3fd
I do not mean to speak out of place. You probably think my efforts to aid any sect would amount to trash. But know that even in my ignorance, from an unfortunate random occurrence not of my choice or fault, this does not keep me from trying to find my place in this unlife as you older generation would say,
"As it t'were in the Dark Ages, we ruled the night."
I am doing as much research as I can as a neonate.
And unlike Toreador who merely imitate kine to feel a quickening in themselves that has long been dead, I have not forgotten what it means to be of the kine. Which means the kow in me has trouble with the beast. And if the masquerade means anything to you, which it might not, a touchstone would help me greatly.
Again, I am not your childe so pleading my case for the acceptance of these touchstones would be futile. And I find myself again on the Nomad's path that I've read about in endless texts of lore. Alone in both the world of day and this new world of darkness. An outcast of the outcasts.
A bad omen? Tell me about it.
I don't know anything about this 2nd Inq. but from what I've read to pick up where my sire slacks, I hope it, The 2nd Inq. be in the favor of the abandoned ones left to to sun ...and Caine cleans up his mess.
Again, goodnight and may your domain keep the tenants of the masquerade.
