Current Events > Vampires the Masquerade. Damn my Glue Trap alchemy got lotta uses this sesh.

(+) Yeah! (+)

3rd session. Im a Thin-Blood alchemist.

I have internal alchemy, so I have to use blood pool/hunger to use it.

In our first combat I used it twice. First I coated a 2-fist sized rock with the glue-blood and threw it at an enemy hand that wielded a gun so I disarmed him.

And second time against thr same foe I filled my cowboy hat like a 3rd of it and three it at him so the glue-blood spilled on his feet. I managed this with great dice rolls.

But of course it camw with a cost. I only had 2 bloodpool/hunger left so when the others interrogated him and drew his blood I could not resist to drain him which gave me a stain, and I lost the remorse roll which made me lose one humanity.

I chose glue trap cuz it fits with my hunter character but didnt know Id use it like this.

This game is so fun.

I wish I got into tabletop RPGs sooner. Its just so much fun!!

The board games are kinda cool.

Im loving it, its our second campaign. And my second TTRPRG campaign ever. First time we had a book canpaign with V5 rules.

This time its storytellers campaign with homebrew rules based on V5 but parts from the older versions.

We did a new kind of combat as well which was pretty fun. Everone rolls an initiave order. Then we do an intention turn and then an action turn.

In the intention turn everyone even foes call out their intention from lowest roll to the highest.

The higher roll characters will understand the lower rolls inention and can act accordingly.

The highest roll starts the action turn, who will know everyones intention and can influence everyone. Action turn is the usual highest to the lowest roll. Most of the stuff happens almost at thr same time during that turn.

Feels like a mix of strategy combat and turn based like Dragon Quest or something.

Me and a few coworkers are trying to get a dnd game going. We made our characters but we haven't been able to make it past session zero, cause real life.

Yeah that happens. We try to play once a month, sometimes it takes longer on between and such.

Hope you can find a day to meet up!

Hopefully we can work something out once summer vacations start. I am looking forwards to it, I have never actually played a game like that.

Whats the group like, friends, strangers, beginners, experienced? And will you do it online or physical in place?

For us its mostly family, my sisters fiancee is the Storyteller and the only experienced one. Then its my nephews (all adults), and a nephews girlfriend.

For storyteller its still kinda beginner as its his second time being ST, but he has been a player before. For us others its out second campaign, except for the GF on nephew its her first.

We meet up, I dunno if Id like to do this online.

DM and 1 player are experienced. Me and two others have never played DnD though were all familiar with the IP itself and are avid gamers in general. I also have a background in miniature tabletop games.

We all know each other from work. And doing the session physical.

Nice

Cant wait for next sesh!
Also, hope I can try D&D someday as well.

I played a couple of games a few months back, one chief criticism the other players had was that it wasn't "story driven" enough for them. As someone who has only played D&D, I am not entirely certain what was meant by this.

We were in 19th century London, and trying to track down an assassin. We moved along at a steady pace, going from one scene to the next. It played out a lot like a D&D game. Is VTM not supposed to?

VtM is more story and roleplay focused than D&D, combat isnt as much focus on. So I dunno what they meant.

Maybe the storyteller didnt do a good job?

We never had any combat in those sessions I was in. Maybe they didn't do a good job as you said. Need to jump back on the VTM Discord, look for another game.
