In my mind the vampires that survive, and maybe even succeed, were likely bad people when they were alive. Better people, more moral and ethical people, will probably be the vampires that destroy themselves or are destroyed by hunters or other vampires. But people who are either actively horrible or just inclined that way will adapt most easily - by becoming articulate monsters who ape at the humane.

Bad and vile, but mostly in banal and tedious ways rather than in theatrical ways. They are the personification of Hannah Arendt's idea of the banality of evil, the occasional Sabbat theatrics aside. They are just vanity and self indulgence. There is nothing worth redeeming in them.

Looks good, but I will still wait on the reviews.

This is my feeling as well - to make the SI just more vampire pawns strips them of their utility and appeal. I can see them as something vampires started only to quickly have the SI run amok, but not being under anyone's specific control....

In the World of Darkness, this is a documentary...

For the World of Darkness I would create fictional terrorist groups involving vampires, so as not to conflate vampires with the activities of real world terrorist groups. The group might also carry the name the name of a vampire group of terrorists, such as the Black Hand.

But I can also see the Camarilla and Ashirra vampires retreating from the country, and it falling into the hands of the Sabbat or the minions of Ur-Shulgi.

What do you think Afghanistan is like in the World of Darkness? Specifically, what is going on among the vampires?

What are they dealing with in the final season?

That is pretty good. Thanks....

This weekend Candyman (2021) opens. I mention this here because the original Candyman (1992) is a hella good horror film, and a solid example of a lucid and powerful specter. I don't have the original Wraith book handy, but the first film might have been in the "Suggested Viewing" list as well. Here is to hoping than the new film is also solid, and (for purposes of this forum) serve as an inspiration for some Wraith material.

In addition to sections dealing with Gary, Vancouver, and the aftermath of the Week of Nigthmares,I would like a visit the ruins of Ceoris, the Bohemian Grove (where my head cannon puts Carna), Beckett visiting with the leadership of an Ashirra City, and Gobekli Tepe,



Given that Beckett has the social finesse of a flaming chainsaw, that would be an interesting encounter....
