oh, have I got some GREAT news for you!

I feel like Retainer is a pretty good alternative for Ghoul, especially given that that's the name of the advantage/background.

Same, but that does sound fun.

I swear if we don't get a Demon: the Fallen 20th which actually fixes the system...

I'd love this too, though I don't think I had too many issues the system back in the early 00s, other than it being storyteller. What's wrong with it?

I’m actually looking forward to that with some interest but I am baffled by the geography. It might just be that I live in CT but like, if I was gonna pick any MA city to be in a shared domain with it it’s be Springfield, not Boston. I probably still wouldn’t but they’re much closer.

I live north of Springfield and I'd pick Worcester, or even Manchester NH.

In fact I'm starting work on my first V5 Game right now and almost made Western MA as a whole an entire domain. (Pioneer Valley + the Berkshires)

It is absolutely not just you. V5 makes some interesting advances but the math is funky and annoying and I hate it, also they brought back scaling XP costs, THE BASTARDS

I think the predator type is really one of those "cool idea, awful implementation" thing that really fucks up character creation in a similar way to the D&D 5e Backgrounds thing, which never worked in practice for me.

Now I wonder if the Evasion facet Fog of War could be used to redirect a woof in Kuruth into another target...

Edit: nope, ranged attacks.

The really funny thing about the Dream mechanics in CtL is that a Cahalith can do the same thing with a single roll and a 3 dot gift.

Sumatra seems really nice and light weight, though not being able to edit character sheets is a major downside

Yep! And it's one of the things that makes the whole character creation/predator type and EXP system just that little bit more annoying to deal with.

Okay but the most important question is: where do I find Low Stakes?

Yeah, those are Revenants and iirc they wake up frenzying every night? Or they at least don't retain their vitae during the daysleep. So they tend not to last long. They can be "fully" embraced by any other kindred though.

It sounds like these podcasters are taking the idea that using your powers on other kindred is rude and crass and somehow expanding it into how you're actually supposed to play.

Honestly, yes. This is how I read it.

I've tried to listen to that podcast but after a few episodes, I gave up. One guy in particular just seems completely uncritical of those books in a way that even my high school self would cringe at.

It's true. He actually helped me grok concepts in Demon: The Fallen better than the actual book did in his trilogy Ashes & Angel Wings. That might be a good FATAL & Friends.

I'd be so down to read this. That trilogy really did unlock the game for me, too.
