To be honest, the Sabbat was stretching suspension of disbelief further and further. It is like that XKCD webcomic graphing Bigfoot sightings against the number of mobile phones with cameras out in the population. The Sabbats percentage of shovelheads and official policy of disregarding the Masquerade was just not sustainable. Too many cameras out there now.



Well, the authors of the Encyclopedia Vampirica, Encyclopedia Haemovoria, etc seems to have done ok, and not actually been set out for the sun. What you are describing sounds more like the situation of a low-information...

Well, thats not how the fight went down. They opened with two Dragons Breath rounds, but then just wailed on Vitel. Vitel was "inhumanly calm" and just did some Obtenebration boogeyman thing.

Assamites -Haquim: Ur-Shulgi is its avatar.

Brujah -Troile/Brujah: Rumors about its death are unconfirmed

Followers of Set -Set/Typhoon: Dead. Attempts to bring it back likely to backfire horribly.

Gangrel -Ennoia: Active. May have earth melded with the world. Possibly burned to death in the molten heart of the world, but probably a force of nature now rather than a...
