Vampire the Masquerade - What Clan are You ? online quiz

[Razz1024]

Herm got Toreador. While it is true that it's my favorite clan in the PC game. I don't see myself as an Artist or a socialite. If I had to guess my clan I'd think of myself as a Malkavian or a Nosferatu.

[23penguins32]

@Razz1024 I got Toreador in the Vampire Clan quiz that woodwwad posted maybe one month ago. For me and maybe you as well, with Toreador (or any clan) not every member must embody all the archetype or stereotype. Like, if I were Toreador personally, I'd be the artist-side as musician but not the highly charismatic politician, speaker or fashion model variety :) Cheers.

[irbb07]

i got tremer on woodwwad post qiuz which i total c.

[23penguins32]

@irbb07 I agree, for me as well. I think that was a much better quiz. Makes me wonder how many of these polls we hear about on the news are just questions with answer-choices that lead one not not quite the correct position ? Funny to think about. Between answers A, B, C, or D I'd usually choose Z :)

[irbb07]

ya i got a ventrue which i total dont c my self as @ all.

[23penguins32]

@irbb07 I took another one of these recently, off woodwwad's post, and got Toreador. Just depends on the questions-answer choices we're presented with. I found it interesting, but non-binding ! :) Cheers

[falloutmnky]

I got Malkavian, i sort of figured i would. interesting to know none the less.

[23penguins32]

@falloutmnky I think they're all excellent. Each one seems to have some very cool to bring. Cheers, man. Ta

[ulkem]

For me, curses are more important than you know, good parts. Ravnos's curse is, they always have a passion in at least one of the 7 deadly sins.

You look like Setite with your beard though (by the way, nice beard) :)

As a Tremere fan, yeah Tremere is severly cool.

If you were a Leo I'd deffinitely go with the Gangrel. I don't know you that well so I'm gonna go with the Tremere as well.

As for me, I'd love to be a Tremere but if I were a vampire I'd be Gangrel :) My nature is that way :)

[23penguins32]

@ulkem I always like the curse or bane or the like. Even if it's not written down on the PC sheet or a 'rule' in a game, it should make for some very good role-play.

I do like Setite. I think that would be fun to play. Thanks, man. The beard is partly an ancient Egyptian thing (they thought it was 'magical') and a Buddhist thing as well.

Taurus, actually. So Setite might well fit in that sign, in a way. Gangrel I like if one could become therianthropic & appear as Anubis or Horus.

Thanks, man.

[23penguins32]

@Blandhumanoid That actually doesn't sound bad to me. So if you don't mind a quiet neighbour down the road who reads way too much, I'm in. Give me the peace and quiet and not a car on the road or noise on the air. Sounds a fair haul to the market or pub though :)

[QuinnSilver]

Brujah

[23penguins32]

@QuinnSilver Darned anarchists never put books back in their proper places...signs of the apocalypse, I'm sure :)

(thank you!)

[hammeredshitsteak]

Ok I did the quiz and two more I found through google and they all say I'm a nosferatu :(

[23penguins32]

@hammeredshitsteak Is that bad ? At least you know it's consistent. That sounds like should be a good thing.

[hammeredshitsteak]

@23penguins32 Yeah it's kinda what I tought I'd be getting. But it is kinda bad to know your like a rat basically :P

[23penguins32]

@hammeredshitsteak Nah, it's all good. It's a game ! I was just joking in the video about being told I was Ravnos. I think it's cool to explore.

[clackclickbang]

I don't consider the Ravnos untrustworthy. They can be tricksters, and are fiercely bound to one another. They hold dear a form of karma, or paradox, and visit terrible retribution on those who wrong them.

Tremere isn't a bad choice for you with your interests in the supernatural. Bear in mind that unless you're Augustus Giovanni you're unlikely to get to choose your clan in advance, but I could see a Tremere from Chicago (maybe the one-armed mage, Dusable) appearing at your abode one night.

[23penguins32]

@clackclickbang I was taking the piss out myself mostly. I found it funny and interesting honestly. I think it's always good to hear these sorts of conversations, just like the D&D one Ander posted a few months back. I do like the Ravnos 'instant karma' sort of ethos. That and their unity, loyalty to each other. That's good.

Is this mage Dusable named after the founder of Chicago ? That'd be an interesting late night chat.

[clackclickbang]

@23penguins32 I don't believe he's supposed to be the same man, but you never know. After all, according to one awful Vampire book Heinrich Himmler was a vampire as you yourself pointed out! I'm glad that his existence was eventually written out, at least according to one book. Not that there's any reason for his not being a vampire, but he was written as such an awful Sabbat Tremere without the weakness of the Sabbat Tremere that I just growl when I see him in the text. Murdering shit.

[23penguins32]

@clackclickbang That is one of the problems of using actual historical figures in fiction. It's usually not pulled off in any way that's enjoyable or 'real', for me. I'd prefer using Himmler, for an example, as a core idea or inspiration for a character, then fictionalize around that filling in other details. Pulling someone wholesale from history is usually trouble. I'm surprised Himmler was used at all. But then again, it is a bit of a mad murderous game...

[clackclickbang]

@23penguins32 Hermann Goering was a vampire in the same book, but he was written as a possible impostor who genuinely believed he was Hermann Goering. I see no reason why any member of the SS couldn't become a vampire of course, but I prefer the thought that the Tremere were interested in Himmler for his occult knowledge, realised he was just a psychotic lunatic with delusions of grandeur and with limitations in his actual knowledge of the occult, so they just abandoned him to his persecutions.

[23penguins32]

@clackclickbang Goering I don't see at all. With the occult, Himmler, Borman and Eckhart were immersed in it. Hess was certainly 'Masonic'. Boltorange pointed me toward Gabriele Amorth's writings, who thinks (among many things) that both Hitler and Stalin were under demonic possession. It wouldn't be a stretch, after that, to apply that condition to the upper echelons of the Nazi Party. But my experience with Goering is his tactics, not his biography. So I don't know much there.

[clackclickbang]

@23penguins32 Ah but Goering wasn't embraced by a member of Clan Tremere. Rather, he, (or the man who believes himself to be Goering) was a Malkavian.

Hess was a madman or a genius depending on who you ask, but my opinion (which follows that of psychologist G. M. Gilbert) is that he genuinely suffered a form of selective amnesia where he disassociated himself from many events he partook in. He began to recover his memories but at times then deliberately tried to suppress them. He forgot the

[23penguins32]

@clackclickbang Ah ok, see I've not read this book. Of course it was another clan and Malkavian makes much more sense in what I know of Goering.

Hess is an enigma to me. As is Bormann. It's tough to know with these leaders of the Nazi if they were clinically psychotic or so intellectually calculating...or both. I like Amorth's theories. Don't know if they're true ? He was a Catholic priest, demonologist and exorcist. So he might know better than most or he might be 'set-up' to see something...

[clackclickbang]

@23penguins32 the verdict against him at Nuremberg within minutes of it having been given. He even failed to recognise Goering for much of it.

I can't imagine either Hitler or Stalin being possessed. Such is the way of human nature that humans are capable of terrible things without any malign supernatural influence. Truly, Hitler had a charisma that was unmatched in his time. No doubt he had many gifts in that area. He was a truly powerful man.

[23penguins32]

@clackclickbang ...that's not there ? I do think possession possible. I was just trying to find (failed) who has the theory of the 'Kali cloud' (my term). It's explained as a murderous psychosis that is communicable, infectious and pops-up through history at different times & places. WWII is an example. Cromwellian England, French Revolution, Stalin and Mao's purges, the Rape of Nanjing... very dark manic depressive state that is acted out in bursts of extreme prejudicial violence.

[woodwwad]

Damn you had a lot of comments on this one. I got Lasombra.

[23penguins32]

@woodwwad Finally uploading the response to your latest. Do you like Lasombra ? Do you think it suits or no ? (I only reposted this because you liked it ! - cheers to you, man)

[woodwwad]

@23penguins32 Yeah man, it is a good vid

Yeah, I like them, they are not a clan anyone's every pegged me for before. My local gaming group has labeled me tzimisce. I've had brujah & tremer from others too.

I guess it is my lack of humanity that scored me Lasombra.

[23penguins32]

@woodwwad Cynicism will get you somewhere, of course, but Tremere might well use your knowledge and gift of the other side, the veiled powers :)

[VoraxTranstellaris]

I can see you LARP a Tremere alright.

I've always enjoyed Nosferatu, Setites and Gangrel but I'm not sure which one would actually be the most fitting... I'll get back to you after I take the test.

[23penguins32]

@VoraxTranstellaris That's funny - the only time I have LARP-ed I was a vampire. Though it was a bit of a Punk-Goth, Sid Vicious meets Robert Smith sort of thing. That was fun actually. Got to use smoke grenades as my 'mist'.

As I've said, I've not played Vampire, unfortunately. Listening to Ander and the Gentleman talk about on Skype makes me seriously want to do. Thanks, man.

[VoraxTranstellaris]

@23penguins32 I've had loads of fun with Vampire: the Masquerade but I think the game could do with a less pretentious tone, some get-to-the-facking-point editing and some cleaning up of the rules (which they did with nWoD anyway).

I'd probably end up a Brujah by the way, because of my cynical disregard of authority figures. I see the point of hierarchical power structure but at the same time the people actually aspiring to be leaders all seem to have serious personality problems.

[23penguins32]

@VoraxTranstellaris That's funny. My joke on the only group I've seen play VtM in person was you all seem to members of Clan Narcissistic. I don't think they liked that joke. It was a bit pretentious, to me watching. But, it looked like loads of fun as well. I did like the politics, social and clan, that I saw in that one game (run by one of my D&D players).

That's another point that I think makes it tough to choose a clan: they all have something I find as a part of my personality. Leaders :(

[VoraxTranstellaris]

@23penguins32 I think you'd also make for a fun Setite, if you put your heart in it.

The thing with Vampire: the Masquerade is that it attracted a lot of self-righteous goth posers and part of the reason for that was the pretentious tone of the books. Playing Vampire was presented as being a "better, more mature" way of playing RPGs and the only "correct" way of playing it was by focusing on the romantic tragedy and angst. In practice, this is not an awful lot of fun to do.

[23penguins32]

@VoraxTranstellaris I think you're right. Set plays a big role in my D&D game(as Sicdh, a sort of quasi-'Atlantean' type). Read a short story years ago from the 1st-person perspective of a Setite in VtM. It was good.

Thank you for saying that about the pretentious tone. I remember thinking that when I read the book back in '92 or whatever. It was as if they were taking pot-shots at D&D 2E for no apparent reason other than trying to make themselves look good.Stand on your own merit or stand down

[VoraxTranstellaris]

@23penguins32 Not a fan of D&D myself but hey, they're all games, man, meant to have FUN with. Which is why if I ever run urban fantasy again I will be using the Angel RPG from Eden Studios, a fun game with a fun cinematic system for over the top supernatural action.

[23penguins32]

@VoraxTranstellaris I know you're not a fan of D&D. That's fair. I'm only speaking from my own experiences. And yes good point: they're all games meant to have fun with' :) For example, I didn't like GURPS fantasy. I do think that was the GM, not the game. I think, if I remember correctly (?) you like it. It's just different experiences. Funny, but so true, how that shapes our perceptions and realities.

I'll have to take a look at Angel. I've heard of but know nothing about.

Thanks, man

[VoraxTranstellaris]

@23penguins32 Getting rather off-topic here but oh well ;-) I had my first RPG experiences with GURPS 3rd ed. I think it's quite a solid system that does certain things very well, but it's definitely not my favourite as it offers complexity in places I don't want it. The cultural/historical sourcebooks are awesome, though.

Angel is meant to emulate the TV series of the same name. More interestingly, to me at least, it's also a versatile toolkit to do cinematic urban fantasy in general.

[23penguins32]

@VoraxTranstellaris I think it's a good game, just as any game can be good. The sometimes maligned Marvel Super Heroes I found to be a great game. We had a long-term campaign in that one. It's all in how you play it. I find any game can be 'better, more mature' when played with feeling, energy, thoughtfulness and just fun. I do think romantic tragedy can be rewarding in-game. Is it fun? In a way, yes. It's an experience of life. I know what you mean & I agree. I do. A 'Shellyian' PC could be fun

[VoraxTranstellaris]

@23penguins32 Of course there can be some in-game tragedy and drama, but sitting around moping all the time about how delightfully tragic it is to be a vampire, at least IMHO, is not the way to go.

[23penguins32]

@VoraxTranstellaris That is a bit of 'a down' PC or game, to me too. It would be sort of similar to a running joke in my 1st & 2nd D&D campaigns where 1-sometimes-2 of the players were a bit quiet, apathetic, playing sort of entropic PCs that left to their own devices would do little or nothing :)

[WinstonBiggleswade]

I think the quiz was fairly accurate. It pined me as a Toreador which I am quite pleased with and I can see myself as such, My wife also agree's. She also took the quiz and came out as a Malkavian which we agree is VERY fitting, if perhaps a bit focused upon the darker side of her personality. However, I can imagine being a vampire would bring on ones dark side much more. The quiz was short but the answers were very varied. Pretty good quiz me thinks. Perhaps not perfect, but what is?

[23penguins32]

@WinstonBiggleswade Toreador is actually the one I like the most, from reading it. I'd have to say that would be the one I'd choose to play, given the choices. Winston's autobiography entitled : So I Married a Malkavian :) Still, she puts up with you ;) Yes, you're right it would do, bring out the much darker, perhaps cynical side of all things. Ta for doing this.

I'm going to start watching your Arx Fatalis Let's Play soon. I've heard good things about the story in that one.

Cheers.

[WinstonBiggleswade]

@23penguins32 Ah amazing. Hope my silly commentary wont put you off too much ;). I can't say too much about the story as I've never finished it BUT it has some very nice mechanics, and an interesting setting. As a side note her madness is the reason I love her so :) Out of interest what Clan did you guys/the quiz pin Ander as?

[23penguins32]

@WinstonBiggleswade I've seen the first one on the weekend - the fear of crashing and boing the chair episode. I quite liked it. That's nowhere near abysmal commentary there. It's good. Don't tell me you're not going to finish it :) About your missus, I was taking the piss on you and what she must put up with :p

I honestly don't remember what the Gentleman said Ander was ? I'll have to ask again tomorrow, Friday, as we'll play again then on Skype. I'll let you know after. Cheers

[HorrorOfMike]

I've never played Vampire: The Masquerade. Probably going to commit blasphemy here, but I loved the original PC game years ago lol. 

[DirtyBriefcase]

@HorrorOfMike That is NOT blasphemous. Best game ever created, fan approved. Well, this fan approves.

[HorrorOfMike]

@DirtyBriefcase In that case I'll have to review it then as part of my horror games series ;)

[DirtyBriefcase]

@HorrorOfMike Woa. I didn't see your channel before. Subbed.

[23penguins32]

@DirtyBriefcase He's good. He's really good. Glad I found it too

[23penguins32]

@HorrorOfMike I've watched it played. I enjoyed that. And I gladly defer here as the Briefcase has spoken. Cheers, mate :)

[hammeredshitsteak]

Too hard man :) So many of the clans have only one feature at the most in common with me, so I cant get a conclusive answer.

Instead of a vampire clan, I'll say I'm a Galliard-Bone gnawer!

Werewolf rocks!

[23penguins32]

@hammeredshitsteak So we have another member of Clan Indecisive :) Excellent. Yes, I forgot you are a big Werewolf fan. Very good. There must be a similar online quiz for that game. Cheers, man.

[hammeredshitsteak]

@23penguins32 Well see I could be a brujah because I have many idealistic political views and I can have a short fuse and a hard head. I also could be a gangrel since I love to spend time in the woods and can be a little evacive when dealing with new people. I could be a nosferatu because I dwell in a small hole of an apartment all alone curtains shut all day every day and I'm depressed and antisocial 70% of the time. I also could be a tremere since I read of the occult alot and so on, you know.

[hammeredshitsteak]

@23penguins32 I did one test like that 5 years ago and I was a toreador, 2 years ago I was a tremere and couple of months ago I was a nosferatu. Nothing very conclusive when it comes to my personality, but alot when it comes to my activities of the times, you know.

[alokov]

if we're including Dark Ages clans you might be a Cappadocian and I totally am.

[23penguins32]

@alokov I don't much about them. Rather sinister and scheming ? Although in many ways, most clans are really...

[alokov]

Ravnos no way.

[23penguins32]

@alokov You'll have to take that up with Ander and the Gentleman. They seem to think I'm rather the Gypsy. Well, it might be the bells on my fingers and toes ?

[alokov]

I could see Tremere fitting although, not that much.

[23penguins32]

@alokov That's probably a very good point about Vampire : it's tough to find an exact fit in a clan for most people. Not all, but most. So it makes you play, role-play often against type. That's a good thing, I think.

[alokov]

Brujah. Though if I weren't so moral I could totally be Lasombra.

[23penguins32]

@alokov Oh, I could see you playing a Lasombra and enjoying it ! I couldn't see you being one, but certainly playing one and having a laugh. Thanks, man :)

[DirtyBriefcase]

I got Ravnos. Unfortunately, I find that clan concept the most annoying. Plus, everyone knows that I'm Giovanni. Whatever, stupid test. :D

Actually, I found that test more fun than others. Short and sweet and humorous.

[23penguins32]

@DirtyBriefcase Well that's a bit of a back-handed compliment :) But, exactly what I wanted to hear. Very cool, man. Thanks for taking it. And yes, I've always seen you as a Gondolieri, at night, watching the lovers part... I never saw the moment the victims fell into embrace or heard their too-brief muffled cries. Though the water does tell. It brings words to those who can hear these sounds still...

[DirtyBriefcase]

@23penguins32 And you havn't played Vampire? Don't tell me you've wasted those skills on lesser games. Get the game now.

[TabletopTitan]

I always get Gangrel. Hey, I like Gangrel, but I hate these tests. Most of the answers I almost never agree with or never seems like something I would say. I suppose Tremere would fit for you, you seem very knowledgable of the occult, which is a plus.

[23penguins32]

@TabletopTitan That's funny. I posted this & agree with you. I think, hence the questions about the quiz itself. I'm a bit of a rebel in the Ani DiFranco 'how-dare-you-try-to-classify-­me' way. I am *name*. That's my affiliation and clan and idiom. What I do enjoy perceptively is how 'right' or how 'off' they can be. I know personally, with low blood sugar / low blood pressure, it depends on when I take one of these. Results can be different:)

Thanks, man. Tremere just feels better for the books

[Samwise7RPG]

Clan Tzimisce, but I had a very difficult time taking the quiz. I wasn't sure which answers to pick for just about every question.

[23penguins32]

@Samwise7RPG So really you should be in Clan Indecisive ? ;) Do you Tzimisce ? Do you think it suits you ? or is it a misnomer ? I actually didn't have any problem choosing the answers - for me the 'appropriate' one was obvious. BUT, I didn't like how short the quiz was. That's a drawback, I think.

Thanks, man. Happy Tuesday to ya

[Samwise7RPG]

@23penguins32 It didn't really seem to fit, but I don't think I've very vampiric, hehe. I guess I do like some Type O Negative though... haha. Clan indecisive would be a Caitiff I would think. I think I was having a hard time figure out if I was already a vampire, or if I was trying to answer as myself.

[23penguins32]

@Samwise7RPG Gods, you're into some hard music ;) I don't think I'm very vampiric either. I like the source material, the mythology, the game, the setting(s), etc. I especially like the human mythology of the vampires : it is worldwide. I haven't played so it's not fair to say that I would not like or like. I know I would find it tough to play a PC who has no or little or even some small glaemir of redemption, in the Karmic sense. Caitiff :) They're the House Stanley of VtM. 'Sitting on a fence'

[Samwise7RPG]

@23penguins32 Listen to some Zao. I graduated from the same high school as them, and they are a good example of the kind of music I like. :) If it sounds like they are gargling razors I'd probably like it. The Gentleman Gamers X-Com video where he talks about his loathing of Death Metal was a lot of fun to watch. You would probably play a character with a high humanity rating. Golconda is the "balance" that is as close to redemption as Vamps get.

[23penguins32]

@Samwise7RPG I hope to actually play it, Vampire, some time. I'd like to experience that. I think it would be fun to go against the grain, as it were. I liked the Underworld series for that reason. I've many vampire (lower case) fans don't like the series. I found it intriguing and good really for playing against the type. But then, I'm probably a punk-new romantic at heart anyway :)

I'll put Zao in the cue on my YT vids to watch(if they have anything on here). I will look.

Don't get in trouble!

[DirtyBriefcase]

@Samwise7RPG The fact that Tim likes dark heavy music pleases me very much.

And yes, I am comment stalking this video.

[23penguins32]

@DirtyBriefcase Carry on. I do not surveil as our Orwellian-Huxlian seers have warned us so much against. Though we do not follow their warnings or advice at all in any way, we just feed along the trail of goods and drugs as they warned us of so many years ago......

[DirtyBriefcase]

@23penguins32 Consider me the panoptic mechanism of your channel. No one shall misbehave for fear of their overseer.

[23penguins32]

@DirtyBriefcase Finally I can sleep peacefully at my desk :)

[Samwise7RPG]

@DirtyBriefcase >: ) 

[boltorange]

I got Follower of Set ... the description was not entirely flattering. I was hoping for Tzimisce, who are my personal favorite -- so, I promptly re-took the test and produced that result. Perhaps "Follower of Set" is accurate after all?

[23penguins32]

@boltorange I don't know, honestly. Not sure if it's because I haven't played VtM/R or, because of the quiz ? I actually like the Followers of Set but that's probably because I get into the ancient Egyptian. Why did you hope for Tzimisce ? Just curious.

Thanks, man. Again, congratulations !

[boltorange]

@23penguins32 Tzimisce is the clan that most appeals to me, although I wouldn't play a(n obviously) fleshwarped character. I like their tone/style and attitude about unlife. In a world that bleak, I'd be a very different person. (I guess I look at the test from the POV of me in WoD rather than me as I am.)

[23penguins32]

@boltorange Good point. Sometimes I've taken these sorts of thing as 'me' and other times as 'my idea for a character'. I'm still not sure if they meant 'I' am a Ravnos or they could see me playing a member of that clan ? Interesting distinction there, for sure :)

[boltorange]

@23penguins32 Yeah, you ought to ask for clarification. Thing is, when actual human beings go out of their way to label you -- if you're a positive sort of person -- you can take even an insult as a compliment. After all, they're going out of their way. I'm not saying that anyone was trying to insult you (obviously not the case) just that even when we're not happy with the answer it's kind of nice when someone has actually thought about your personality.

[23penguins32]

@boltorange Yes! And I didn't mean they were being personally insulting to me. I found it funny-we all did. There's more discussion really of Ander labeling the Gentleman as Toreador. It's all good fun. I'm always more interested in the process of labeling, how-did-you-get-there, than the label itself. & of course the meaning behind the symbol as well. I did hear an explanation, because that's where you get to the heart of anything. Apparently I'm very gypsy-esque. Where did I park the caravan ?

[23penguins32]

@Catachan1brainleaf That was my thought as well. I have to take psych evaluations for my profession, working around cargo and aircraft (can't be a Brujah...). This quiz seemed bit too quick. Can't have a psych eval without cross-referencing, re-wordings, diggings. But, it was a bit of fun. I had no thought to post the like until talking with Ander on Saturday night. I will say I really like these discussions by/with gamers, as we do on Skype on Fridays now.

Cheers.

[23penguins32]

@Catachan1brainleaf Oh I'm worried, mate ;) That's not a surprise in all honesty. I always wonder how accurate these things are ? The one Ander posted of D&D race/class/level etc was very good. I enjoyed taking that and enjoyed the result. I thought it was spot on because of the depth of the questioning. Brujah ? Maybe Brew-ah ! :) Deep soothing breaths to ease the soul...between pints :P

Cheers, man. Ta

[masterofflowers]

I have no ida fits you since I was also engaged in my own campaign and no one I knew was playing anything else.

I took the test and got Tzimise. WHatever they are. =-)

[23penguins32]

@masterofflowers Tzimisce ? Wow, that's a bit dark :) Of course they're all a bit dark, as TheNerubin points out below. There's no compliment or insult ; they're all monsters and monstrous. Take a look at the description of Clan Tzimisce and let me know if that would suit ?

Cheers, man

[DirtyBriefcase]

@masterofflowers Tzimicse are fucking monsters. But cool. Considering your experience with bone crafting, this is somehow appropriate :)

[masterofflowers]

@DirtyBriefcase lol yes, I guess it fits me very well... I may need some wings. mwahahahaha!

Too much? Maybe, but I just woke up. =-)

[TheNerubin]

I have to agree with both of them, from what i see of you Tremere would not fit very well. The Tremere are backstabbing each other at every turn even though they see loyalty as the biggest virtue (to the clan, not its members), where the Ravnos are more scattered but still can work together on occasion.

As for insult or compliment, the clans are all insults and compliments at the same time.

I by the way was deemed a Ventrue, which tells me that the test is not very accurate :-)

[23penguins32]

@TheNerubin Good point, yes, Tremere are back-stabbing so-and-so's. I wouldn't like that all. I like the acadaemic side of it, but I can't read a book and watch my back at the same time :) I do like that Ravnos will stick together, no matter (which itself could be a bit frightening if the cause is unjust...).

One thing I also like about Vampire is as you mention it is a rather damaged PC one creates. WoD seems to do that quite well, D&D not so much at all.

Ventrue for you ? No, Toreador maybe?

[TheNerubin]

@23penguins32 I think PCs should be damaged goods by rule ;-)

Toreador might actually fit, propably only a poseur though :-)

[23penguins32]

@TheNerubin Cannot imagine you as a poseur. Not at all :)

[Tschenggo]

Well I only know the clan discriptions from Anders and Mathiews videos, but I think Tremir would be more fitting then Ravenous. Then Again, I would enjoy playing Ravenous, but I guess no one would see me as one. I also did the test, and it suggests that I would be from Clan Toreador - no Idea if that is a compliment or not. But from the description, it doesn't sound too bad ^^.

@Tschenggo I believe from memory, Toreador is what Ander has chosen for the Gentleman. So I think there's a bit of the excuse-the-term Gentleman artist for that one. For me, I never ever would have put myself as Ravnos - not sure there's anything wrong with that Clan, I just would not say so for me. Tremere, yes, I can see that for me.

Cheers.

@23penguins32 Well there is always a difference in what you enjoy playing and what you see your self as. I for example consider my self a friendly, trustworthy and loyal person. When gaming however(even in larp) I lie, I betray, I corrupt others and talk them into deals or doings, and in general enjoy playing a manipulating bastard. So what Ander and Mathiew maybe ment, was that you would be a great Ravnos player. Hard to tell outside the context.

[23penguins32]

@Tschenggo Oh yes, completely agree. For me, to my surprise one of my favourite PCs to play was a neutral evil mage in D&D. I did not think I would enjoy so much that. It was quite an interesting exercise and experience. The topic of self-image and others' perceptions is also quite interesting. There might be so much overlap in the two, but there are always some differences even small that I find wonderful to see and know.

And now, I'm playing a lawful good monk/paladin. It's a challenge :)

@23penguins32 My most loved Characters in Pen'n'Paper would be "Rapelz", the neutral (ok ok a bit evil) dragon brought kobold(a decendent of a shadow drake) Shadowcaster in DnD3.5(Tome of Magic), "Edorian" a Human Stray(developed into a priest of Phex over the time) in "The dark eye" RPG and also the character concept I picked up for larp.

[23penguins32]

@Tschenggo You should do, if I may say so, a few posts (one 1) of your favourite character(s). That would be very good to see. I've done 2 (I think?). I like seeing what other people have played and what their experiences with those characters are.

[Tschenggo]

@23penguins32 You mean doing a video about my favorite characters?

[23penguins32]

@Tschenggo Yes :) I know you did so on your recent LARP experience. I meant in pen and paper / tabletop games. That would be very good.

[Tschenggo]

@23penguins32 Alright, I try to find some time for that and make it happen. I still want to do a Larp-Essencials Video, so with a video about my larp character and a video about Rapelz that would be 3 videos. Maybe I find some spare time for that over the week or on the weekend

[23penguins32]

@Tschenggo No worries. I am just saying I would like to hear about your other characters also ! It's 02.00, do you know where your bed is ?? ;)

[Tschenggo]

@23penguins32 Yes, yes, mommy, I went to bed after the last comment, no worries ^^.

[23penguins32]

@Tschenggo Ha :D
