Most of the old books are not really applicable to V5. The factions barely resemble the way they were presented before V5. Pre-V5 Camarilla is a sprawling dominant organisation that essential believes that all vampires are de-facto members, V5 Camarilla is a shrunken shadow of its former self on the defensive against both the SI and the waxing Anarch movements. Clans have amalgamated, changed allegiences even the metaphysics of vampirism itself has changed now.

None of the mechanics would be of use to you, V5 mechanics work very differently to V1-V20.

Nah, its just a nice gesture. Its going to be a couple of years before W5 emerges from HE, 4-6 for M5 and probably a decade if ever for Wr5 and C5. Assuming Paradox even gives the nod to more WoD products from OPP....

[Damian May]

Tomorrow is M20 followed by C20 and Wr20.

They were nazis back when I lived there and I've seen nothing to show me they're not nazis these days....

Theres this weird thing now with 'modern' games that if something doesn't have mechanics forcefully attached its not really part of the game. Its bullshit of the highest order but its the current environment that games are developed in so we're stuck with it until the cycle turns and it falls out of favour....

[Damian May]

Yep, Jacobs stuff is great....

[Damian May]

So why the need to cap traits then? Doesn't look like there is one....

What I'm trying to understand is that Dawkins is constantly saying that dicepools in V5 shouldn't go over 10 dice or the system breaks down and thats the reason that Elders only have ratings up to 5 and yet here we have a splat that throws that out the window, its confusing.

[Damian May]

The answer is apparently, " Because."

Which to be fair is also the answer for most of the other V5 changes, so it is what it is....

I lived for two years in Jamtland quite a while ago and I think it made for a very interesting setting though most of my time was spent in smaller towns like Are, Duved and Saxvallen so much more Gangrel and Garou territory than other critters.

Most of my work was with dog sleds, reindeer sleds and general upkeep of outdoor areas, other than Stockholm for a short visit the largest towns I saw there were Ostersund and Sundsvall.

I'm just going to say, Yes you are correct and assume theres some sort of misunderstanding of my post....

Or are the Tzimisce Nagaloper who feign social mores?...

While everything else you've posted has been Truth, this is not true. There have always been Kindred in Asia from India through Mongolia, Japan, SE Asia and a ( ok, very) few within Mainland China. Its just that they aren't the dominant undead parasite in the region.

I do think KotEK should have pushed harder to get further away from the European/Middle Eastern Clans as most of the Laibon map pretty much straight onto Camarilla and Sabbat Clans ( ie. Mla Watu = Cappadocians, Shango = Assamites, Akunanse=Gangrel and so on.). I'm a big fan of having somewhere in Africa be the Patient...
