Clan Kill on Sight- uhh I mean, they’re alright I guess haha To be honest I like them much more that they are more fractionated. I never liked the idea of playing someone bound to the pyramid and expected to sink or swim within it. Now I feel like there is much more room for fitting all sorts of characters into the clan and having the Banu Haqim as rival blood sorcerers in the Camarilla might mean that they need all the help they can get to stay influential in the city
I played a Tremere who was desperate to find powers to bring back to the clan to replace the lost paths of Thaumaturgy. We had a Tsmisce using Kuldunic Sorcery throwing fire and she was really trying to steal their secrets.
I can see that. I've always had faith based magic such as Koldunism, Aku and similar disciplines not work well with the hermetic Thaumaturgy. Never stops them from trying though, lol.
You know, with my older videos, this one being one of them, I did use the Bloodlines soundtrack. I had actually completely forgotten because it's been so long. I stopped because there is unused music on the sound track and I started getting copyright claims on those tracks.
I always thought that the 1pt. “embraced without the cup” merit made for a potentially intersecting backstory - discovering why your Sire would opt out of binding you to the council. I don’t mind some of the V5 changes, but the elimination of unique Blood Sorcery Discipline’s like the Tremere’s Thaumaturgy and Banu Haqum’s Quietus was not something I was a fan of! Each clan has their own secrets, paths, and rituals! The fall of the Pyramid and entry of the Banu Haqum into the Camarilla doesn’t mean they’d start making those ancient secrets common knowledge, so that any ‘Blood Sorcery’ practitioner can access them! They didn’t share before, and I doubt they’d start now! Obviously several other Disciplines suffered the same fate, for the sake of un-complicating the game…🙄 Lasombra losing Obtenebration and Giovanni losing Necromancy only to have them both lumped into Oblivion. The Ministry and Tzimisce being forced to take extra steps to gain access to any semblance of Serpentis and Vicissitude. All changes I didn’t care for! Much more comfortable running a mixed game of V5 - where the characters have access to their original V20 disciplines, while utilizing V5 systems like the combat and hunger rules.

Exactly!

Coming back after Blood Sigils, the new rituals are so fun and the opportunity to create our own rituals is such a delight.
Very true. Blood Sigils is a great additive to Clan Tremere in v5.
God I miss playing vampire tremere is my favorite clan
What's stopping you? Lack of an ST or gamers in general?
can we get a link for the sound track you use for these videos. Thanks!
Unfortunately the music is just free to use stuff from my editing software.
If you check out the VtM Bloodlines, Coteries of NY, and Shadows of NY soundtracks you’ll probably find some familiar sounding tracks 😉

You should add links to your metaplot monday episode and to the Banu Haquim episode when it comes out. This will help guide channel veiws.
Yeah, a year into this and I'm still learning. Thanks for the tip.
