“Now Nossies are a real...interesting bunch. Leatherfaces aside, they are the ones you want to be your friend more than anyone else. This is not solely because you want dirt on everyone else, but because you also want them hesitant to share the dirt on you with said everyone else. Sure, they’ll probably sell it anyway, but that few days of pause beforehand gives you time to prepare. Hell, if they *really* like you they might just give you fair warning. My advice? Find one that suits your sexual orientation and make a friend. Think of it like sticking it to the ugly chick that’s good at math back in high school. Oh, and to my fellow Caitiff, some fair warning; Some of the Nosferatu are gonna hate your guts no matter what. They hate the idea of someone getting all the kicks of being a lick with only half the downsides. And yes, they will abuse the shit out of the fact you are lower on the totem pole. This case, make friends in a clan that hates them. If you have to swear fealty, then do it.” - Merle Clemons, Caitiff
I love having the NoS in my games. My players love it just as much as they fear them. It only took one time of them meeting a particularly well known NoS working with the Camarilla and having him use obfuscate to "blink" around when they tried to fight him then when they tried to run he ripped the wheel off their car. From then on they haven't trusted being alone anywhere and have ran into him several other times and don't talk back to him anymore. Admittedly it might have been harsh to do to new players but the lesson was learned and he has quickly and surprisingly became a favorite of the group.
I finally found a local group that play once a month at a gaming shop near me that were kind enough to bring in a total newbie. one of them recommended me your videos. I really dig your stuff. Making my way through the playlist before our next session. I ended up being a Nos for my first go, biggest hurdles were coming up with goals and ambitions but the same guy that recommended me your videos has been helping me with backstory and details for touchstones and stuff. Im really looking forward to playing more VtM.
The Rats have always been the most useful bottom-feeders. I have known them to be everything from honorable underworld lords, to opportunistic backstabbers, to sadistic torturers. All useful in their own way, as long as someone holds the reins. I do admire their loyalty and solidarity, however. Any kindred that can be trusted to wade through blood and sewer waste for their clanmates, not out of some enforced code but because they truly wish to defend one another, is something I can respect. An old ally named Talitha was all of these things at once. Loyal and true to her word, yet unfathomably cruel to those who wronged her. She commanded her clan with equal parts intimidation and their admiration for her skill. I do keep one of them around, though always at arm's length. I wouldn't want my deepest secrets reported to their elders, after all.
Aint no party like a sewer house party! Nosferatu Clan aint nuthin to F*** with! Im an old Vampier Table Top gamer from the 90s and I was around playing Vampire when it was still in 1st Edition. The Nosferatu HAVE *ALWAYS* been one of my favorite clans. As a player, if you ever have the oppertunity to get your hands on a 1st edition Nosferatu clan book, I highly recomend you do it. Cover to cover, its one of the best clan books White Wolf ever put out. Nosferatu's are great because they really can come from almost any profession or background. An old Zoo Keeper who now keeps his giant gators in the sewer with him, A social outcast architect who now uses his unlifr to expanding the tunnels for his clan, but also specializes in knowing how to get into other peoples structure, A hacker and online troll, a street thug, a former spy, a modern day blacksmith, etc, etc. Also, a great human ghoul to have is someone who controls zoning. Let the Ventrue have the mayor and the tremere have the treasurer. Take low level folks who have the keys to the back door, both literally and figuratively. Speaking of ghouls, Nosferatu tend to make their ghouls weird too. Dogs lose hair, a lizard might become even more leathery, etc. GREAT animal ghouls for a nosferatu include urban coyotes, cats, snakes, and misc corvids. I even once had a parrot ghoul and a nosferatu who had crazy high animalism and I would enter the Parrots body and deliver messages to people. It was crazy,,folks talking to a freaking parrot trying to get the low down on the latest dirt. Anyway, good luck my Nosferatu brothers and sisters. Life isnt pretty and we're uglier than that. 😂 🎭
9:32 Oh I see! Do it was actually named after that Business Bad guy from Batman Returns. Love the videos. Am binge watching the clans videos right now ❤ Can’t believe it took me this long to find out about your channel.
Again,...Great Job!! I'm so much enjoying these VTM clan narrations. Need some Werewolf TA and I'll grab a drink and snack, then dim the lights and hit play!!!!!❤
I'm not here to say anything offensive about clan Toreador. But if I ever need information, I rather get information from. Clan Nosferatu than clan Toreador. Clan Nosferatu gives you the straight honest information, they do not do it in the form of a rumor, making you unsure whether they're telling the truth or they're lying. Again, I am not here to offend clan Toreador. They just have to be more honest that's all. I know they love to gossip, but when I need information and I need their help, I need their honesty as well. There are a lot of humans I have to hunt out there.. And Baali and tremere
I played a game in high school and my friend that was the dm. We came down to one of their strongholds… we’re walking around and we see a really gnarly one like gnarlier than everyone else down there. He’s like that’s their for father… he’s related to David 😂😂😂😂😂
In that thought experiment I like "if that was all true, you have to be embraces, and could choose by which clan..." this is one of the most serious alternatives. Seriously. Unlike most other options, you get a culture along with Nosferatu embrace, and it is a likeable one. Not needing to breath all the time makes life in the sewers a lot less unpleasant, obviously. I would probably ratter be a Toreador, but I know that some nights will came when I will regret this decision. Because Toreador internal culture is one of imitation, and their main model to imitate is artistic community: this people can be really hard to endure. Nosferatu had to build their own thing, and they ended up with something more practical as consequence. Once you get past a certain level of obfuscation, being a Nosferatu becomes practical enough. And you are likely to be among the first to know when is time to vacate a given city and look for a couch to crash somewhere else. Information is not power (George RR Martin managed to prove that in a conversation between the Lion Queen and Little Finger) but often it is the next best thing. Sometimes it is even better than power in prevent one's final death. All that considered, I still don't see this clan as my first option. Despite the fact that it is the alternative less likely to end in suicide by depression, due to loneliness. Toreadors are great party people, but Nosferatu are the kind of people you can count on to help you clean your house after the party. That is the kind of friend you can count on in those moments when you actually need friends the most. Which is not when is fun to be around you. Still, Presence, Celerity and Auspex is a great combination. Only better option as a whole is owned by the Malkavian. Which is the clan with the highers cost for admission, by far.
My partner is a Venture, while I'm a Toreador, however in modern real world I find I might fit better either with clans Salubri or Tremere seeing that I study the arts of spellcasting and am quite spiritual.
And count Orlock was ahead of his time. I may be a Tzimice. Yet i have immense respect for the Nosferatu. And pretty much every other kin except the Giovanni, the sabaat and the bali.
The Nosferatu are damn good at what we do, no one even argues that. If you need to know if you want it found you come to us We're indispensable; not a bad place to be in the afterlife
I have a Nosferatu character in my games that I call Snaggle because of the way his teeth jut out from his lips. He’s a lone Nosferatu and is credited as a phenomenal info broker operating under the alias “The Spider Broker”. If he ever deals with beautiful vampires, he charges them extortionate prices for information. I love playing as him.
I had once been in contact with the infamous Gary Golden and his "children," Imalia and Mitnick. Mr. Golden held a particular, not quite unfounded (in my opinion) disdain for Toreadors. I personally can't be bothered with their haughty, high-and-mighty attitueds towards almost every other Kindred. Gary, on the other hand, shared with me a desire to mutilate a Toreador's body to give them a taste of his own existence for a while. Besides that, he was actually very polite and welcoming, lokely due to my showing intetest in his taste for old movies. Unlike most other Kindred, I've never held any sort of disgust for the Nosferatu. In fact, I think they can, at times, be considered the better clan among us due to the humbling nature of their transformation. I've tried to use my fleshcrafting abilities to help a few by altering their appearance to something close to how they looked while they were alive. Sadly, the curse of their clan is so potent as to overpower my changes, and so they were always temporary.
A lot of battles have taken place during the night. If my memory serves correctly the conflict I was referring to during that section was the Battle of Brunanburh which while it started at day, it supposedly lasted into the night for quite some time. Its quite common for a kindred to follow armies and be transported during the day to come out at night. Although they would need mortal servants to do so.
@theashspawn i see! Battles lasted a long time. While alot of it wasnt really fighting, it could still potentially last long enough for sunrise to come aroune. I just had to be certain
With all due respect Ashspawn. But this is the the 3rd video I've seen of humans not surviving the embrace. I heard it with Clan Malkavian, Clan Nosferatu, and My clan. Clan La Sombra. Are humans that wea - nvm that's a retorichal question. Either we look for strong humans or we're going to have to resort to genetic engineering and create our own humans who are capable of surviving the embrace so all us vampires can continue to survive. All Clans... Sigh including clan ventrue. As a La Sombra that's alot for me to say. But any clan is better than clan baali...
Ash my Man need more these I forgot you say you where business that why you where doing one video week instead two has your situation change are you no more business and can do two video week or are you still business if so do you know when/a date you won't be business and return to two video a week?
@@theashspawn that sad still do you know date that would change even if it's not soon also just wait on that timize one maybe you should that next or lasombra or tremere?
As far as my knowedge most kindred will have no effect if they kill their sire, in fact alot of them make it their goal to do so. Although the part-way bloodbond will make this difficult. The only major exception to this is a unique situation with the Thin-bloods. If a thin-blood kills their sire they might become human again. (i'll go into more detail in my Thin-blood video)
@@theashspawnI did see your video on the thin bloods, and it was very interesting, very intriguing and I loved it, however, here is my question. And I speak for all kindred, why in the hell would one want to kill their sire and go back to being human? Once embraced and turned into kindred to be a vampire is almost a point of reaching godhood? Not to sound sacrilegious and not to offend the gods but... Why should one be human when one should be perfect, or let me rephrase that, as in, why should one be mortal when one should be perfect, and ever since my embrace blood has tasted a million times better than water. Water is life, but blood is immortality. I believe that the only burden about being a vampire is when we lose our mortal loved ones, and we forever linger in this world. I went today society it's becoming very difficult. However, we managed like all creatures we adapt, we evolve, we adapt and we survive. Nevertheless, to be a vampire is to be blessed. However, I pity the Malkavians. To live forever, but to live with terrible conditions to live in madness and no medicine, nothing that can help the living who are psychologically disturbed and help them find themselves and cope with society. Can not work with those of clan Malkavian. Which brings me to my other question. I have spent some time with clan Salubri. And they're healing ability has brought me to the question. Can their healing ability remove the madness within the minds of those of clan Malkavian? And can Malkavians live without the madness? I ask this because I there are so many Malkavians besides the Voremon sisters. I know, and I wish to help them. I know what it was like to have mental conditions. Once embraced they left. I just want to help them.
I appreciate the delivery in these videos being “POV your catty ventrue sire explains…”
As primitive and as odd as they look, they're great informants, great allies, and they are completely caught up with this century.
And ironically enough, despite their primitive appearance they are the most technologically advance, in terms of internet stuff.
