Can you link it? I'm not doubting you or anything. Just want to see it for myself, this is very good news....

Most of VtM's Disciplines come from generic vampire powers as popularized by books and movies. Control of animals, invisibility, strength of 10 men, telekinesis.
If turning into mist is part of a line abilities that include growing claws, turning into animals and seeing in the dark, well that's Protean. If not, it's a generic vampire power....

They did? Where?...

It allows for a Storyteller to host games. My friends and I have been using it for years.

So, probably zero chance of an ST mode like in Redemption, right?

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

I'd prefer that but it doesn't really work for those poor Nosferats tough, does it?...

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

Can you Pm me?...

Furthermore, I would like to add that this whole "Thin Blood who Diablerizes his way into a clan" was just avoidable.
Unless there's a very good plot reason for it that we won't know until we actually play the game, I don't see how much would have been changed by giving us clans from the get go. It's not as if in Bloodlines you required a sire to teach you clan culture or Disciplines. The game just occasionally acknowledged you belonged to X clan and that was that.

Presumably, the identity(ies) of our Sire becomes an important plot point later on.

What has Cara Ellison written?...

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

I always thought it was rather strange they'd do a Werewolf game before their flagship, Vampire.
Well, at the very least, I believe we can remove the notion of a 2020 release from our minds.

Hopefully, this Season of the Wolf expansion will give the Garou some character.

It's not a matter of terminology. In Bloodlines, you selected a clan and received access to the signature Disciplines those clans possessed in VtM. Admittedly, they had to be a bit altered in order to be useful to the game (Unlike in Redemption) but if you were a Gangrel, for instance, you got Animalism, Protean and Fortitude, each with five levels of strength. That is faithfulness to the tabletop.
Right now, what the interviews and the gameplay previews seem to imply, is that, as a Thin Blood, you'll have access to generic vampiric powers that you could find in "Dark" or "Vampyr"...

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

"Powers" instead of "Disciplines" does have me a bit concerned....

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

Thank you but where? I just see "stay tuned for more details."

Edit: Wait, never you mind, I see it....

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

Tell me, what is this..."Ravnos" that you speak of?

(Sorry but yeah, I seriously doubt Ravnos are going to be in it. Even Assamite is a long shot and they''re in the Cam now.)...

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

Where are people seeing this info about Blood Resonance and the five clans?...

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

Who owns Seattle in the game? Camarilla, Anarchs, Sabbat? It's close to Vancouver, I'd sacrifice to Belial for a cameo of Siegfried.

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

Also, I don't like this emphasis of "Powers" over Disciplines". Why can't we have Protean and then buy dots until we can use Mist Form?
This game system seems "vampiric" yes, but not specifically Masquerade, do you understand?...

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

As excited as I am for Bloodlines 2, I am a bit discouraged as well. Werewolf: Earthblood is supposed to release in 2020 as well but we don't even have a trailer, much less a steam page for pre-orders.

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

I don't want to be a thin blood.
I want to be a properly Embraced Ventrue for once!
I want my Agoge and I want to recite my lineage up to a 4th Generation Methuselah ancestor.

[HardestadtTheEvenYounger]

The Conjuring 2, Annabelle, Annabelle:Creation and The Nun all feature appropriately frightening demons even if they change between Reliquaries and hosts far more than the Fallen could realistically do....
