The Gentleman's Guide to Vampires: Clan Assamite

he was embrassed by cain



[Samwise7RPG]

Ander's Vampire quiz said I would most likely enjoy playing Toreador or an Assamite as my highest rated Clans. I think that quiz was very interesting, as I think both Clans would be very interesting to play.

[clackclickbang]

@Samwise7RPG They're not as bad as Ander makes out. It would be a challenge to make an Assamite that he liked.

I am DEAD SICK right now but I've been trying to watch this video about 3 days now. Laptop had a low sound, couldn't hear. But I'm on my pc finally. Damn, I won't die till I watch this! :D

Thanks man I love vampire videos about anything. A little old game though, Vampire the Masquerade isn't it? There must be some kind of revolt this game must be playinh by everyone again! This is my 2nd favorite game after Mage: the Ascension. Love World of Darkness

[clackclickbang]

@ulkem Vampire is making a return through V20! Check out White Wolf's website.

Very good. I could hear Bowie doing 'Secret Life of Arabia' as the soundtrack to this post. These are good. Another nice one. I'm getting a laugh. This is the second time in as many days I've read you being compared to or as a vampire. Dear gods :)

[clackclickbang]

@23penguins32 Maybe you're an Assamite! Ever felt an inclination towards Allah or murder?

[23penguins32]

@clackclickbang Hamdillah. Well, really only the great T.E. Lawrence, to be honest. Seven Pillars. Well, and the two Saudi sisters when I was at uni... Allah alim.

[clackclickbang]

@23penguins32 A salami I like them.

[23penguins32]

@clackclickbang Sa'la'a mi ! I'm more of a garden or caesar sala'adin man myself.

[ShayuaHaise]

A good guide, as always, sir. I enjoyed it as always.

[clackclickbang]

@ShayuaHaise Thank you for continuing to watch.

[safersephiroth2001]

Oh thank God these videos are recent. I'd love to learn more about the Lasombra clan and was rather put off when you didn't have one up yet. I will patiently await your review and/or opinion on that clan. Thank you for your amazing work!

[clackclickbang]

@safersephiroth2001 I shall do the Lasombra in a few weeks time, I'm sure.

[TemplarsCrusade01]

aww one of my fav clans apart from the Brujah ; ) Great job, MORRREEE!

[clackclickbang]

@TemplarsCrusade01 There shall be more! Nosferatu next.

[FiendTheKing]

Stop making me wanna play World of Darkness! lol

[clackclickbang]

@FiendTheKing That is not my objective!

[oneness00]

Do you use miniatures in your RP games, Clack?

[clackclickbang]

@oneness00 I do not. I've never seen a need to for Vampire. Everything can be done through description.

[mollytherealdeal]

I am fascinated by these role playing guide videos, even though I haven't found a group to play with for some time. I encourage you to keep making them.

[clackclickbang]

@mollytherealdeal I shall indeed do! Tell your friends!

[woodwwad]

Good job with trying to make the Ass-mite sound like that are not totally booty, I will be far, far less kind in my review, as well I should. Great job telling their history.

[clackclickbang]

@woodwwad I'm not a huge fan of the Children of Haqim personally. I'd never play as one.

[woodwwad]

@clackclickbang me either, Frank the Rapist ruined them for me. They are really silly, power gamer tools.

[clackclickbang]

@woodwwad I played with a guy who was in love with his Assamite character. A six-year old girl embraced into the clan to be the biggest hotshot assassin there could be. Heaven help me.

[DirtyBriefcase]

Great video. This, and your vid on Ravnos have made me reevaluate my disdain for those clans.

[clackclickbang]

@DirtyBriefcase I don't actually like the Assamites much, but I wanted to give them the same respect I have for the other clans.

[Onionkid99]

A comprehensive and excellent guide as always.

But speaking Out of Game, do you allow players to be an Assamite? I find them too powerful and disruptive. In my very first time Storytellin' Vampire, I allowed an Assamite but never again. While I'm sure I can handle them much better now, their power and their Path keeping them from worrying about humanity was a total pain.

[clackclickbang]

@Onionkid99 I don't have a huge issue with people playing as Assamites, providing they're mature players that can play a challenging clan. If they're not? They can stick to the Ventrue or Gangrel.

[herkles1]

great video, and I learned more about this clan thanks to the video, whats the next clan you plan to do?

[clackclickbang]

@herkles1 Nosferatu!

[herkles1]

@clackclickbang ooh, now I await that one. the nossies are one of my favorite clans in the game.

[clackclickbang]

@herkles1 Good! They're one of mine as well :o)

[Backfromthedeadguy]

Great vid! I would like to see one done on Clan Bali just to see how many gag reflexes it causes. I remember reading the Clan Bali book and actually became sickened by the imagery.

[clackclickbang]

@Backfromthedeadguy I could maybe do a Baali one in a few weeks... I'll see what I can do!

[Demolitiondude]

When I get the sidegroups done for Dragon the Embers you'll like how I've done assassins in Dragon.

[clackclickbang]

@Demolitiondude Well Assamites shouldn't always be assassins by any means. I do not encourage that.

[Demolitiondude]

@clackclickbang The name and the artwork doesn't help. Even I thought assassin when you flashed the book.

[Komeister]

Awesome video! I like your guides to vampire! I am currently in the process of 'e-baying' all the clanbooks. Without success so far. I only own the core rulebook and the story tellers guide. I do have an awefull lot of pdf files don't like to read at my computer.

Keep up the good stuff please!

[clackclickbang]

@Komeister There are a lot on amazon for cheap prices!

[TheEvilGhoul]

I love these! Keep them going!

[clackclickbang]

@TheEvilGhoul Thank you!

[orbitalraindrops]

You look a bit like a vampire :P.

[clackclickbang]

@orbitalraindrops Thanks...? I suppose it's the classiest form of undead.

[Deckof51]

@clackclickbang

Mummies are classier.

Look deep into your heart, GiGi. You know it's true.

[clackclickbang]

@Deckof51 Pff. Bullshit. The vampire owns the mummy.

[marvelona]

@clackclickbang Pfft, Lich ftw!!

[clackclickbang]

@marvelona Liches are so '90s...

[marvelona]

@clackclickbang WHAT!? >:(

I got one thing to say: Avadra Kadabra!

Technicly Voldamort is a lich! So they survived past the 90's :P

[clackclickbang]

@marvelona Oh bah. I repel your killing curse with my aura of arrogance.

[marvelona]

@clackclickbang I penetrate your Aura of Arrogance with my Ray of.....Evil Ray

I may need to improve the name a little :P

[clackclickbang]

@marvelona Who is Evil Ray? Some bastard supervillain I have no doubt!

[marvelona]

@clackclickbang He is the evil twin of Ray William Johnson. He has mastery over some very bad juju.

[clackclickbang]

@marvelona Not Sugar Ray Leonard then?

[marvelona]

@clackclickbang Sugar who what now?

[blinddoctorwho]

@clackclickbang The Gentleman Vampire!

[tetsubo57]

@clackclickbang And if nothing else, you are classy. Maybe you should don a tuxedo for these videos.

[clackclickbang]

@tetsubo57 Or a cape!
