How to adjust the "classic" Sabbat to the V5 Sabbat

[CTPhipps]

Isn't this the opposite of what happened? The Loyalists were those that wanted to use the sect to carry on the values and aims of the original Anarch Revolt. That's definitly not what the Sabbat is now. It would seem that most of these people ditched it to join the Anarch Movement proper and what's left are the Orthodox\Ultra-Conservatives aka the people who only care about Jyhad, Gehenna and slurping methuselah rather than politicts and society building.

I think it's a matter of interpretation but the Sabbat of V5 seem to have a very strong Loyalist bent to them. They've done away with most of the Sabbat's heirarchy, eliminated the status difference between the Lasombra/Tzimisce and Antitribu (which the Panders were all about), and now are enforcing the war against the Elders that was the original sect's goals to the exclusion of all else. Yes, there's an irony that they're all cannon fodder for the sect now but they're EQUAL as cannon fodder!

Why would you want to do this? The OG Sabbat is just better.

Because change is exciting.

The whole purpose of metaplot is to give your characters something to react to.

To use an example:

"Saruman comes to Hobbiton" is objectively bad for your Hobbit PCs but now your Hobbits have something to play against. It's a creation of adventures and gives your PCs something to have opinions on.

As a Sabbat player, this is a crucible for the sect. What do you do in the face of so much change?
