You know what I can't stand about VtM?
Camarilla apologism.
The Camarilla are monsters with rules, and they will use those rules to justify slavery and exploitation and abuse and control and murder, for ever. And people tell me these are the good guys. They're absolutely not. The Beast is sitting down at table and wearing a pretty dress and her table manners are ever so lovely and her dinner conversation sparkles, but you're still getting eaten alive. And you have to love it. They have made you love it. Nothing in their rulebook says they can't.
I have never actually run a Camarilla game. Not properly. I think it's because that level of authoritarianism makes me urge. It's weird, because I love Dark Ages Vampire with all my soul and those are the same rules, but Dark Ages Vampire doesn't have the "default sect" phenomenon, the expectation that you the players are going to be aligned with this side and therefore that's the right side because you the players are on it.
Woobifying the Sabbat and apologising for the Camarilla makes the real default protagonists of V1 - the Anarchs - even more toothless than they already are, burdened by their writers' failure to imagine a way out of the status quo (not blaming them for that, progressive politics are hard and it's only a bloody game, innit?). And as the game drifted more and more into Camarilla-as-default-vs-Sabbat-the-Anarchs-are-also-there... I don't know where I'm going with this, I was just confronted by the monstrosity of the Camarilla before I'd even had a cup of tea this morning and it's great horror but don't ever tell me they're the good ones. Don't you dare.
birthday gift for my friend : D
big old WIP of the first to pages for a 4ish page sequence for my Tzimisce Sabrina and her first test of the Protean beast forms... only posting a wip cos this is going to take a while and if i post about it im more likely to finish it
last session the coterie got in a fight with some gang banger sabbat playing tag with 9mm's as they do. we tracked them to the city zoo where they got distracted taste testing a bunch of different animals and some security guards, but ill save you from the gorey details. but we dealt with them but lost a one of our group, Mikala got "droped" by a full auto mag dump to the chest and face, thankful he just got torpor'ed. but still Sabrina blames herself for not being strong and quick enough to take out the sabbat quicker so in the down time of waiting for Mikala to recover Sabrina has been training and working on some new discipline techniques also the coterie as it stands at the moment Sabrina a tzimisce Piper a Tremere Adrian a Giovannni Mikala a ventrue and we have to more players joining at some point that haven't made characters yet
so ive been working on that first time using Protean sequence for my Vamp OC Sabrina, and this is my first time drawing a bat that wasn't just a black shape in the background for scale on a landscape. and i blame all the bat Astarion art for why shes so cute, i haven't even played Baldur's Gate III but fan art of him is everywhere and he's perfect
upgraded to a proper microphone for streaming so can finally do art streams like ive wanted to do, gonna be streaming on twitch if people wanna hang out and chat as i draw vampires, my main focus is going to be the backstory comic for my tzimisce, and working on some maps and floor plans for campaign locations. https://www.twitch.tv/blakescosplay
Do you think when two Tzimisce are in love they mix their dirt together so they can sleep in the same bed đŸ¥º
i wanted to draw Sabrina Protean wolf form again after that last post about it and decided to make it a little christmassy and no one expects the christmas crowbar to the knees swung by a wolf with potance active
so my yautja is a twitch streamer now
i thought of doing this just as art prompt, but why the hell not just do it for "real" so im a yautja png streamer now over at twitch/blakescosplay ive only done some test streams atm and i didn't have the animated png last stream but i will for the next one
also i do apologize for my voice its been damaged by years of to much testosterone :P (im trans fem and really... really need to voice train ) (and yes my yautja is canonically trans now :P ) also i am thinking of making a pngtuber for most of my OC's and cosplays
i forgot to post this here Sabrina doing the gold swimsuit trend…. it was briefly really hot
33 She her They / BI / Trans womanl/ dungeon master and "dungeon master" ;) Digital artist, most OCs are just my NPC's https://linktr.ee/BlakesCosplay
