I love you, Trick or Treat Rat

"Doot-de-doo... This looks like a good spot! Oh, thank you! In it goes!"

News

Sadly, the chewy vampire fangs have not come back this Halloween. Sure, I could get the potato chip ones, but it's not the same.

Waiting for a new Crow movie is forever

Hey, that new version of The Crow with Jason Momoa is due out today!

What? Oh.

Oh well, in a month we'll get the start of another comic series.

Red Sands: Three

Vampire: The Masquerade fifth edition

Red Sands

Session Three

Jamie scowls. "Some things never change."
Shae nods. "Yeah, sucks all round. But now you're here, maybe you can help."
"So this is the part where we pay for your help?" Simon asks with a grimace.
"If you're willing. Gets that sense of obligation out of the way, right?"
Louise growls to herself.

Shae outlines what they can do to get Mariah off her back. "If you'd rather buy her off than wipe her out."

So they head over to the bar, to see if the observer is still there. He is. He smiles coldly. "New arrivals,  new friends, how nice."
"Is everyone in this city snippy?" Louise asks.
"Yes."
"Good to know."

He makes a call, and soon another vampire walks in, with two men following her.

"So, why are you all here?"

A talk show in a chat game

If I ever help run a WoD-ish chat game, or play in one big enough:

Mental note to add an in-character late night talk show to a chat game. Like the news and The Deb Of Night in Bloodlines, but with more awkward entertainment interviews.

(I'm imagining the Craig Ferguson run of The Late Late Show would port over pretty well.)

Beam me up

Star Trek: Picard and Discovery trailers, Short Treks, and Riker and Troi sniffles.

Session Two

Jamie notices the observer. He sees that he's been spotted and just meets her gaze in a silent challenge. She points him out to the others. Jacob frowns. "He's one of Mariah's." Only Simon knows who that is - a rival to the power in the city. Hearing that, the observer gets up and heads out, with a backward glance as he gets to the door.

"If he's watching the place, and there's no sign of Shae, could be she's not coming. Either she decided to stay away, or..."

"Well, that's just perfect," Louise mutters.

Jacob steps out to try to call Shae. Simon keeps an eye on him through the window.

"Okay, let's try this again. Eleven, at the parking lot in back of the Red Circle."
"Sounds nice..." Simon deadpans.

They take two different cabs to get there. Jamie goes with Jacob. "We can get to know each other better." she says with a false smile.

And Louise notices that she and Simon are being followed.

She has the driver drop them off at a bus station, and pulls Simon along with her to lose the tail.

They manage to get to the rendezvous apparently solo, to find Jamie and Jacob there already, and Shae arrives just a few minutes late.

"Sorry for the rearrangement. I didn't really feel like meeting with Mariah tonight."
"Why not?" Louise asks.
"Oh, she's planning to kill me."

OCTOBER

IT IS OCTOBER

OUR TIME IS UPON US

Red Sands: One

Vampire: The Masquerade fifth edition

Red Sands

Session One

San Diego.

A Brujah, a Gangrel, a Toreador and a mortal walk into a bar...

They're there to meet an anarch contact, and she's late.

The Brujah, Simon, was a medical student in life, Embraced after a campus protest turned violent.

The Gangrel, Louise, was a street thief who tried to steal the wrong car.

The Toreador, Jamie, doesn't talk about what she was in life.

They're all here to make new unlives.

The mortal, Jacob, knows the contact, a survivor of a Caitiff nomad gang, from helping supply anarchs along the west coast.

And someone else is watching.

Obviously we just got started...
