If Iโ€™m not mistaken, there are a few interpretations which depict Set as a dragon, like in Shin Megami Tensei II and onwards. ๐Ÿ‰

I always suspected Bubble from the start. ๐Ÿ˜จ

Dare I say it, it's TOO super-effective... ๐Ÿ˜จ

Good point! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ If anything, a Tekken-style fighting game might work best for Vampire: The Masquerade. ๐ŸฅŠ The Tekken series uses a 4-button control scheme (i.e. one button per limb) and the few characters with long-range attacks (e.g. Devil Jin, True Ogre, Jinpachi, etc.) are left wide-open afterwards.

Excellent advice! ๐Ÿ‘ House rules work best when they are convenient, coherent, and consistent. ๐Ÿ™‚

Of course, all that would be left is Demitri Maximoffโ€™s projectiles. ๐Ÿ”ฅ If anything, Koldunic Sorcery may help cover this, albeit as an Amalgam in V5, ๐Ÿ™„

Ah yes, I know what you mean. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I used to regularly play #Persona4Arena on #Xbox360. ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ I played every character in Arcade Mode and Story Mode, and did pretty good with online Ranked Matches. ๐Ÿ† In my experience, three attack buttons and a special ability (e.g. Drive ability) are more than enough. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Demitri Maximoff would definitely hail from clan Tzimisce, unless his Midnight Bliss super move were to be retconned. ๐Ÿง› Either way, the Disciplines of Protean, Celerity, Dominate, and Animalism would be at his disposal. ๐Ÿฆ‡

A few years ago, I was writing up a proof-of-concept pitch for a WoD fighting game, featuring Julia Sowinski (Lasombra) in the base roster, and Christof Romuald & Katherine Weiss (Brujah) as two unlockable boss characters. ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ The game would have a 4-button control scheme like a NEO GEO game.

Vampire: The Masquerade changed how I saw vampires and supernatural horror as a whole. ๐Ÿคฏ

#VampireTheMasquerade. ๐Ÿง› It was the first #TTRPG I ever played, starting with a mixed #WorldOfDarkness chronicle via #Roll20 back in September 2019. ๐ŸŽฒ

For what itโ€™s worth, I give my sincere condolences to all Unbound, and their kine, whom were caught in the crossfire. ๐Ÿ˜ข The Ivory Tower will pay dearly for this. ๐Ÿ˜ก

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. ๐Ÿ˜ข Plus, Trump would not be the first United States President to incite collateral damage in the name of "patriotism" and "anti-terrorism". ๐Ÿ˜จ If I am not mistaken, at least two previous US Presidents within the past 60 years would have done the same... ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

//I did something similar with #BombermanBlast, a #WiiWare game from around 20 years ago. That was probably my first and only game which I rage-quitted from.

An acrylic portrait titled 'Kathleen Elmshire at Work', illustrated by Jordan Dean "Madman" Ezekude. Kathleen Elmshire is depicted as a graceful and welcoming vampiric Ancilla of clan Ventrue, as seen in Vampire: The Masquerade. Standing near the bar within a neon-lit nightclub, the vampiric Englishwoman features a cocoa-brunette low-ponytail, emerald-green eyes, subtle crimson lip gloss, and short vampiric fangs. She wears a phthalo-blue Chesterfield-style coat with a matching blouse shirt and formal slacks, beige leather boots and a matching leather belt with a golden buckle, and an emerald diamond-shaped gemstone pendant with a golden chain. With her hands wrapped in neat bandage wrap, and her nails painted phthalo-green, she holds a wine glass full of vitae in her left hand, and a closed leather journal in her right hand.

Is it just me or does Karen briefly look like Mion and/or Shion Sonozaki when she describes her potential โ€œdark and brooding arcโ€? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

In all seriousness, Natani would look stunning with braided hair. Plus, this hairstyle would not necessarily make them look "girly".

A graphite pencil sketch portrait of Marsh Mello, based on MarshSMT's in-game avatar for his walkthrough of the video game Shin Megami Tensei: NINE. Marsh Mello appears as a bold young man with a spiky hair-cut, a slim build, and a focused gaze. He wears a headband with the name "Nakajima" written in Kanji calligraphy, a Japanese-style bomber jacket with Yin-Yang embellishments, a donut-shaped gemstone pendant necklace, a letter-print T-shirt with the initials S.M.T., and denim jeans with a buckle belt and wear and tear at the knees. He wields the fabled Hi-no-Kagutsuchi sword on his right hand.

A Hero Forge Pro-rendered portrait of Vachar-vo Dovuuzrih, a rogueish human Assassin character, created and portrayed by Warlockracy for his playthrough of Baldur's Gate & Baldur's Gate II. In this portrait, she is portrayed smiling smugly whilst sitting in her mahogany chair and brandishing one of her twin daggers. She is quoted saying "Violence is part of our world. It is unavoidable, to some extent."

On the contrary, there exist Awakened whom have their own Beast Affinities. ๐Ÿฆ In other words, the Outlanders are not the only ones capable of training animals to do their bidding(s). ๐ŸŒฒ
