Clan Overviews - Vampire The Masquerade
Ойын-сауық
Vampire the Masquerade has a long history in the World of Darkness. Its one of the longest running games in the series as well. Vampire 5th edition brought the game back to center stage but it changed some of the clans and meta plot. In this video I will attempt to simplify the history and various versions of the game so you can know what vampire clan fits your play style.

Toreador do not need to be seductive or sexual in nature, they're silver tongued and appreciate beauty, but they could easily just be an art expert or smth to that extent
Your description of the Toreador has almost single-handedly gotten me kicked out of my first LARP, which I haven't even made a character for. Well done.

Which is exactly why you double-check any information you hear and don't take all of your information about a clan from a brief description that lasts roughly 21 seconds. That one is on you chief.

@gachalordnoobie4911 This comment is almost 2 years old, it's for a game I had never played, and I was attempting to do my own research but it's kind of hard to know what's right and what's not for interpretations of lore for a game you've never played. You look like a jackass acting this smug.

@The Maple Table One of my fondest childhood memories playing Vampire the masquerade was when I was captured by the inquisition and tortured (hear me out please) and recorded on a cam corder with holy water and other such vampire proving methods. At the end of the torture the head inquisitor told me to face the camera and admit the existence of my kind... (Anyone as old as me might remember the following message at the start of VHS tapes) Calmly i turn to the camera and state: "This video cassette contains scenes of extreme violence and should not be viewed by young minors or those of a sensitive nature. Video piracy is a crime! Demand a genuine cassette from your video store" We all erupted in laughter! 😂

A good job on the Vampire clans from Vampire the Masquerade my friend. I've listened to Lazar of Stygia's top ten Vampire Clans, History and the lore of the Antediluvians of the Vampires from Vampire the Masquerade. My favorite clan will be Clan Gangrel because they have this animalistic nature. And my favorite vampires are Akasha Bloodriver Mother of Moka Akashiya and leader of the Three Dark Lords from Rosario + Vampire, Gabriel Belmont aka Dracula the Dragon from Castlevania Lords of Shadow, Enkidu the Noah, and of course Count Dracula himself.

I know this is about a year or late but The followers of set and the children of Gaia would be opposed to each other if anything the followers of set would probably team up with the black spiral dancers due to the both sides wanting to spread corruption. Great video though I always love when someone talks about the world of darkness as it's such an underrated game.

I'm really enjoying your VtM videos, they've very nostalgic for me. Back in college I was a beta player for 1st Edition and used to play a lot on some of the online WoD MUSHes, often crossing over the various game lines. I tried just about everything WW put out over the years but never actually got a chance to play Demon.

The Tremere would be interesting. Are they a Vampire clan from the first edition? Where they part of WoD since before Ars Magika or were they introduced later? Where they in Vampire before being in Mage the Ascension?
Oh man, I would hate to be on the side of the Children of Gaia in a story that revolves around the children of Gaia in the Followers of Set! For a canonical crossover between vampire and werewolf I would look for the Society of Niddhog camp of the Shadow Lords and their allyship of opportunity with the Lasombra. I imagine this has a lot to do with their combined hatred of the Tzimisce.

Hm, the Hecata / Giovanni were one of the few clans, who haven't got a tribe assigned? Maybe because they were/are some Giovanni in the Pentex headquarters? Other than that, Hecata covers 6 clans: Giovanni (most numberous) Samedi (ugly Voodoo necromancers) Harbinger of Skulls (Cappadocians who failed an intelligence test back in their time) Nagaraja (cannabalistic necromancers) Cappadocians (VDA20 daddies of Giovanni and Harbingers) Lamiae (VDA20 plaguebearing necromancers)

This is a nice and succinct “quick and dirty” list of the vampire clans. It’s also neat that you include your thoughts on how they might interact with certain werewolf clans. I’m not well versed in WtA lore. Though I do have one question: Aren’t werewolves normally driven into a murder frenzy in the presence of Kindred from smelling like the Wyrm or something?
@TheMapleTable

Thanks! No they are not driven to frenzy just because they smell the wrym. They as a species are called to destroy wrym influence, but there are tribes who make tenuous treaties with the leeches

Any clan can work with Garou. It's all politics. And pretty often boils down either to common enemy, or keeping or changing status quo, so both sides can benefit from it. The only, or best hint to realization will Garou will work with particular Cainites is their Humanity level. Low humanity level means Leeches reek wyth Wyrm. Plain and simple.

I understand that the goal was to give a super-cursory description of the clans, but I think your descriptions of Malkavians and Toreador are EXTREME stereotypes. You really only discussed "Fluffy Bunny" Malkavians and "Hookers and Blow" Toreadors. Both of those clans are way more than that.
