Finally Night of the Malk. 😍
I like the idea of the premonitions coming from the mental illness of each Malkavian. The Malkavian with schizophrenia will have hallucinations where as a Malkavian with anxiety disorder have panic attacks when something bad is going to happen like a painful spider-sense
Oh, Good lore, You do our clan such justice. Remind me to take you off the wedgie list.
My malkavian is a knitter.. She gets her visions from her knitting and gets frustrated when other people look at her work and just see knits and purls when she sees the answers however the questions elude her. When she is asked to tap into her powers she often gives her answers in knitting patterns that she writes
Wow!! Knit 1 purl 2!😂
Perhaps that one Clan that offers the most entertaining avenues for creativity.
I'm still afraid to play Malkavian. It's above my roleplay skills unfortunatly.
I love it when a good Malk player is around the table tho :D
The best Malkavian players have struggled with mental illness. I've found that most neurotypical/relatively trauma-free people tend to play fish malks. They don't really understand mental illness, so they do things that seem crazy to them, and it comes off as offensive to anyone who has dealt with whatever they're trying to portray. It takes a certain amount of respect for and understanding of madness. This isn't universal. I've seen people who don't struggle with these things pull it off perfectly, and I've seen batshit crazy people bomb with it. On the whole, though, your best, and most natural Malkavian players will be those that understand the assignment intimately.
@@LordScrambles1I’m a Malkavian player with a schizophrenia diagnosis. Playing a Malkavian lets me control my own real life nightmare and this time, if it gets too much, I can stop it. I have control this time.
I feel like playing into depression and powerlessness can be much more real than playing wacky Joker style characters. Feeling frustrated at not being taken seriously, or the huge expectations you have to fill the exceptionally rare situations people DO is something i think most normies could relate to(but maybe thats just my MDD and PTSD talking)
I'd say don't be afraid. The important thing is that you try, and that everyone at the table has fun. I'm playing a Malk at my table for the first time and it's very exciting.
Vasantesana is the new Archbishop of Montreal in our game with predictable, fun results for all.
Love that character. Interesting that she's still part of the Sabbat in your game, whereas in V5 lore, she's gone independent. What's she like in your game?
This was before 5th Edition but I made a Malkavian NPC who was under the delusion that he was created, not by another vampire but by God Himself for the purpose of hunting down and killing "true" vampires. The twist? His delusion was so strong and complete that it gave him the True Faith merit. That's right, this little traitor and hunter could brandish a cross and repel other vampires.
My first VTM game has been as a Malkavian and I have no regrets.
My character is a Malkavian combat Trickster with Obfuscte, Auspex, Celerity and Dementation...I drove mad many enemies, also diablerized one sabbath member... got great fun!
Ive never actually played Malkavian in game bc i have to be one in real life, but you did a good job 👍
Thank you for the information. I love watching your videos to learn, also I'm Autistic with other disabilities because of horrible severe traumas and the Malkavians are my favorite.
My favorite clan.
Can't wait for nos. I miss playing my cleo 😞😓 Danny sure could swing
Not long now!
Thank you for the video, sir. You get it for the most part, and you've provided a service to the community with this one.
Another of my favorite clans!:)
I adore the clan of the moon. My malky has a haven in a theater so she will quote movies at random that needs some dissecting to piece how it relates to the current conversation/investigation. Her oracle archetype makes her empathetic and on a dime recklessly violent.
My little Malk lady has an apartment with books everywhere. Books in every room. A very messy library with a singular bed shoved in a corner.
I hope you do one for some of the smaller Clans, would love to see your interpretation of the Nagaraja or Lamia
Did the Hecata bloodlines a couple of weeks ago, but who knows, maybe I will do a more in-depth one in the future 😉
