Today’s comic features someone who’s usually behind the camera at LARPs, taking spectacular photography of the costumes and battles. However, it seems that Niels Christian Goerz has taken the day off in order to play in Wayne’s game! It seems that things are heating up politically in the Vampire game, and that Abbie and her crew of outcasts are the cause of it… But, it wouldn’t be Vampire if someone wasn’t plotting against someone else, now would it?
Also, in other news, I just wanted to remind you all that it’s the LAST day of this commission sale. I won’t likely be doing one until the late fall (once convention season has ended), so if you were wanting one, you’d better act now!

Some say he can’t remove those hands from his suit jacket’s lapel because the anarchists have secretly put super glue to his palms.
All I know is that his hairdo is even more rock solid than that.
Ladies and Gentleman, I give you: The Tremere Lord Kerrsenbrock
Thank you, Alina, for capturing the old man just the way I remember him from the good Vampire LARP days. It was my pleasure to back your Indiegogo campaign and an even bigger pleasure to meet you in San Francisco by pure chance.
I am looking forward to the next 4 books of weregeek

I kinda wanna see more interaction between Victor and Mark. I have the feeling that Victor’s just messing with him, because I’m sure someone told him how gullible Mark tends to be and Victor decided to have a little fun with him.

ahhh the old days of LARP are coming back to me,…. we had the Hand of Fate as our Schemers,…. via a very twisted path of favors and debts [its VtM so why would anything be straight forward] the Ventrue, the Toreador, and a mixed group of lesser clans tried to run the city’s “Towers of Power” under the Prince’s nose,…. then we had the Wild Ones [the Gangrel, the Catiff, and the more aggressive Brujah] trying to control the street level things,… then the Untouchables [Nosferatu, some Gangrel, and a Giovanni] controlled the cities “dirty underbelly”. Why this connects in any way to today’s comic is that I can see any of the “suits” in the first panels [especially Dustin's character] sitting at the tables outside the campus cafe [which served as the HoF meeting area] complaining about the other Vampires in the city,…lol

Noob vamps! Geez Ravenia, did you just dig your way out of your grave or something?? Oh wait, that’s the Sabbat.
DarkMyste Says:
is she dense or something that she has to take out the script to read it!
i think she playing the role of the ditz till she actually shows she more cunning than anything sorta like a role of the stupid one till you are actually understanding how things work
Essa Says:
It’s not a script, it’s her character sheet. In this OWoD/NWoD mix I’m sure it’s easy for the poor thing to get confused… even in NWoD it took me a while to learn all the political parties.
FSilvermane Says:
And thats why I prefer Old World of Darkness,…. it was a bit easier on the new player,…. you had a clan,… you had a Cam/Sabbat allegiance,…and unless you were an ancient Kindred that was all. And as for her checking her Character Sheet that is completely allowed and normal,…. heck most in our LARP kept theirs in a character appropriate way,… a Ventrue I knew had his on a PDA,… Torrador kept on a music sheet,…my reborn Viking Gangrel kept his on the inside of his bracers [yes this was a modern game and he still wore leather/metal bracers],….

Good luck with your sales Li! And I hope you enjoy your cons this summer!

It baffles me what Requiem is doing in a game with intelligent players.
Requiem is not conducive to plot, story or character development – it was created for one purpose, which is the only one it can fulfill.
That purpose is ego-stroking. VtR has no true metaplot and no built-in plot hooks, and yet it brands itself as “deeper” and “subtler” (taken verbatim from the Vampire Translation Guide) than Masquerade, simply because it only supports whining about one’s condition. It’s not horror without pressure, and that’s what Requiem does wrong. It’s based on the principle of “Drama and tragedy make a good game”, and aside from that not being right, it can’t even do more complicated drama than “Boo-hoo, I’m a vampire”. And yet it’s supposed to be “deeper” and “subtler” than Masquerade, which has a plot, some real pressure on the characters and another kind of horror (Antediluvians, Nosferatu, Tzimisce) than the Requiem brand of “horror” (Requiem Nossies and Gangrel? The emofied versions of previously great clans? Bitch please.)
I accidentally a very long rant, Forgive me.
