Favourite Clan? [V:TM]
I am going to be playing in a Vampire: The Masquerade game soon, unfortunately I can't say what clan I'm playing as for undisclosed reasons, but I wanted to know what your opinions were of the clans? More specifically, your favourite clan, as per the title

Re: Favourite Clan? [V:TM]
Wow, that brings back memories.
I usually played a Gangrel. I like their "Vampire Hippie" fluff, the fact that they were wanderers instead of just staying in the same city for decades on end, and their interesting racial flaw of gaining animal features over time.
Also enjoyed their disciplines. Protean is overrated (everyone thinks turning into a bat is much cooler than it is), but Animalism freaking rocks.How to Play Rogues Properly:

Re: Favourite Clan? [V:TM]
Malkavian, when in doubt plug into a hyperconciousness from prehistory which knows everything and the only thing you've got to give up is every last shred of your sanity?????!!>>!??!?! Sign me up Captain Soldier Fish Finger to the Lococomotovotoive of.... say, have you had a haircut?
Give them bread and circusses and the plebs wont rise against you. Give adventurers dungeons and trapped chests and they won't waste time looking to ransack your home and kill your wife.

Re: Favourite Clan? [V:TM]
I like Malkavians, but prefer the sheer volume of insanity to be toned down. It's more amusing when they can actually fool other people into believing that they're sane.

Re: Favourite Clan? [V:TM]
I think my favourite form of Malkavian insanity is the nonsensical giggler that occasionally comes out with the most insightful, prophetic wisdom you could think of.

Re: Favourite Clan? [V:TM]
I enjoy Malks, but only when I want to play "scary insane" instead of "silly insane". The books themselves warned about making them too goofy. One said that the average Malk is much more likely to be carrying around a bloody razor blade than a fluffy teddy bear.
I say split the difference: carry a fluffy teddy bear with a razor hidden inside.
Nosferatu are also fun.How to Play Rogues Properly:

Re: Favourite Clan? [V:TM]
I have only played one session of V:TM; but I really liked the Assamites; but LaSombra and Raknos seemed great though (would have played one of them if the group was entirely composed on members of the Caramilla)

Re: Favourite Clan? [V:TM]
I actually have the Toreador clan symbol as a pin I usually wear on my jacket lapels. Really funny when people actually recognize it for what it is, rather than just a black rose.

Re: Favourite Clan? [V:TM]
The Banu Haqim, or Assamites.
Neither as great hypocrites as the Camarillas, nor as "look, we're soooo evil" as the Sabbat.

Re: Favourite Clan? [V:TM]
Here's a list of your options. I'm fond of Ravnos, because open ended use of Chimerstry is just so darn fun. Choose Perjury as your "compulsive crime" Weakness, because if you ever have to testify in a court hearing you know that you have to lie anyway.

Re: Favourite Clan? [V:TM]
My first and most successful character was a Ventrue. I was a fracking manipultaive bastard who had all the other players in my hands with Domination and Presence: they hated me, but my roleplay was ineccepible. I even managed to place one of them, a Brujah, under a Blood Bond (badly played by him - the Storyteller allowed him to do things completely awful, so I had to cut the bond).
I had become the right arm of Capone, and I would have rised even more in power hadn't us interrupted the campaign...
Were I to play again, I'd pick Nosferatu and put LOTS of points in Backgrounds, such as Allies and Contacts: in V:TM he who knows, wins.Last edited by Cicciograna; 2010-06-02 at 03:00 PM.

Re: Favourite Clan? [V:TM]
I am a major, major fan of the Setites and in particular their Aztec bloodline, the Tlacique. Obfuscate, Presence, Protean: the whole package. Assamites are also cool if you use their blood magic stuff, and Tremere are gamebreakingly hilarious.
That said, I am at heart a Ventrue.Wiki - Q&A - FB - LIn - Tw

Re: Favourite Clan? [V:TM]
This really depends on whether or talking about old WoD or new WoD?
Personally, in the old WoD system my favorite clan was the Old World Tzimisce. As a close second, I normally would play Gangrel. I really liked the whole feral vampire concept.
In the new WoD system, I still like the idea of playing Gangrel, but would really like to play an Architect of the Monolith at some point.

Re: Favourite Clan? [V:TM]
BAALI. A clan so evil, so heinously (juvenile) over the top in debauchery and wickedness, it scared the Tzimisce and had all the clans unite just to wipe them out in the Dark Ages. But who says they won't make a comeback?
But if unbridled sin isn't your thing, either Nosferatu or Tzimisce. I'm a sucker for the old world Tzimisce, and their flesh-sculpting is creepy as Hell. But Nosferatu has always been my first love. Hell, one of the things that sucked me into nWoD was that the clan got promoted from 'mutant-sewer lord-spy master' vampires to 'lords of human fear'.SpoilerMy Characters

Re: Favourite Clan? [V:TM]
The makers of EVE Online are making a World of Darkness MMORPG.
EVE Online is a one-server MMORPG where everyone stays in character and level grinding doesn't exist. Here's a link to their TV Tropes page. It's an interesting read.

Re: Favourite Clan? [V:TM]
Clan Wolf is much cooler than clan Jade Falcon…. Oh wait wrong clans.
