Four out of five for Bloodlines 2

Not the Gangrel. Instead, a popular choice, the Malkavians.

Priorities

We may have gone along to make sure the date went well.

And get dressed up, and maybe meet some fancy vampires.

Cara, less sold.

What We Do In The Shadows

The LARP jokes in the What We Do In The Shadows series might as well be waving to the camera and saying "yes, we know!"

Summer Games!

Summer games! Summer games! Nearly time for Summer games!

Not that I have any ideas or anything...

Obviously I have loads of ideas, but could I get players for them?

World Of Darkness: Haunted Ballet School. One of these days.

GOTH DAY

Success!

Simon asked Book Girl to a concert.

Hello, salty goodness.

David Boreanaz is 50. Maybe not as weird as Andrew Eldritch being 60, but...

Bloodlines 2 clan guessing

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is to have five clans at launch, not the full Camarilla seven.

After the Brujah and Tremere, to hide the gaps as Brujah starts the alphabet and keep us guessing, we now have the Toreador confirmed.

So far I'm on track for my guess of Brujah, Toreador and Ventrue, the three "normal modern vampire" clans, and then probably the Gangrel as the "classic" and Tremere as the fifth as a popular playstyle, with Malkavians and Nosferatu left out as, while popular, they'd be the most work.

Although I may be wrong - Thinbloods already have "bat swarm" and "mist form" powers which step on Animalism and Protean, and the Ventrue might not want to adopt.

But as you start as a Thinblood and join a clan of your choice later, would you choose the clans most defined by their weaknesses?

(Though as Jae notes, V5 has balanced weaknesses a lot more than previous editions, but B1 fans will know them by the old playstyle-affecting versions.)

Also, "Natalie Portman as David Bowie" is a look.

Andrew Eldritch is 60

Andrew Eldritch is 60. Does not compute.

Hey now, hey now now...

Reminder: Didi is THE WORST

And what did Didi contribute this week? Advice, I guess...?

Didi goes clubbing

Jack the Ecstatic tried to impress us with his magic backstage pass when we snuck into a club to search for a demon.

"Oh honey, the security guy was a GUY."

Afterparty

Game continues! Alas, FANCY PARTY does not.

Although some of Didi's excited selfies with the super-cool vampires probably broke the Masquerade.

And she spent most of the evening asking Cara about the guys who asked her to dance, and nudging Simon to ask Book Girl out. Because Priorities.

Oh, and we fought a guy who was trying to summon ghosts for blackmail.

And by we, I mostly mean Cara.

Avengers: Endgame was great. I'll be more specific later.

I'm not crying you're crying

FANCY PARTY

FANCY PARTY

FANCY PARTY

I'm not saying I used my magic powers to steal a dress but if you were to think that I could neither confirm nor deny.

"Did you just fangirl at that vampire?"
"... No..."

So, we can probably defeat the arcane artifact theft ring and still get Library Girl to go out with Simon. Priorities.

Also, this happened to Cara. Strange.

And then guys asked her to dance. Very strange. Ahem.

Vital update

No MtA session this week. Next week: FANCY PARTY.
