You know what I can't stand about VtM?

Camarilla apologism.

The Camarilla are monsters with rules, and they will use those rules to justify slavery and exploitation and abuse and control and murder, for ever. And people tell me these are the good guys. They're absolutely not. The Beast is sitting down at table and wearing a pretty dress and her table manners are ever so lovely and her dinner conversation sparkles, but you're still getting eaten alive. And you have to love it. They have made you love it. Nothing in their rulebook says they can't.

I have never actually run a Camarilla game. Not properly. I think it's because that level of authoritarianism makes me urge. It's weird, because I love Dark Ages Vampire with all my soul and those are the same rules, but Dark Ages Vampire doesn't have the "default sect" phenomenon, the expectation that you the players are going to be aligned with this side and therefore that's the right side because you the players are on it.

Woobifying the Sabbat and apologising for the Camarilla makes the real default protagonists of V1 - the Anarchs - even more toothless than they already are, burdened by their writers' failure to imagine a way out of the status quo (not blaming them for that, progressive politics are hard and it's only a bloody game, innit?). And as the game drifted more and more into Camarilla-as-default-vs-Sabbat-the-Anarchs-are-also-there... I don't know where I'm going with this, I was just confronted by the monstrosity of the Camarilla before I'd even had a cup of tea this morning and it's great horror but don't ever tell me they're the good ones. Don't you dare.

Sabrina being a little dramatic in her "final form"

“u attract what u fear” ahhh a vampire’s fangs in my neck so scary

sabrina's "war form" some times you just gotta be big, strong and monstrous

realized i have only ever drawn this form once before an i don't really show how scary she can be enough.

also she hates this form cos she has a fear of not being able to get her face right when changing back

last session the coterie got in a fight with some gang banger sabbat playing tag with 9mm's as they do. we tracked them to the city zoo where they got distracted taste testing a bunch of different animals and some security guards, but ill save you from the gorey details. but we dealt with them but lost a one of our group, Mikala got "droped" by a full auto mag dump to the chest and face, thankful he just got torpor'ed. but still Sabrina blames herself for not being strong and quick enough to take out the sabbat quicker so in the down time of waiting for Mikala to recover Sabrina has been training and working on some new discipline techniques also the coterie as it stands at the moment Sabrina a tzimisce Piper a Tremere Adrian a Giovannni Mikala a ventrue and we have to more players joining at some point that haven't made characters yet

lmaoo

the benefits of dating a shapeshifting vampire i wanted to do some classy portrait style art for them but this invaded my brain don't know if i want theses two to officially start dating but its tempting, also yes Sabrian is talented enough in vicissitude to pull stuff like this

This kind of helps describe my preference towards the Sabbat rather well. Ultimately, while they are the traditionally “Bad Guy Group”, the books that got put out for the longest time helped expand upon what the Sabbat was and gave them a proper culture and ideology. They really aren’t the nigh-mindless murderhobos that the writers seem to be pushing nowadays, they are a people unto themselves, who have accepted what they are and built something to help ease the burden of unlife on a personal scale. In fact it’s quite annoying that a lot of the traits that made them unique and set them apart from the other sects was eventually given to the Anarchs for the fifth edition, especially since it makes the latter a sort of Sabbat-lite while the current Sabbat is sinking closer into The Usual Adversaries trope. Considering Werewolf’s current incarnation allows for the redemption and possible playability of a Black Spiral Dancer, it’s kind of amusing at the almost arbitrary designation of who’s irredeemable and thus unplayable and who isn’t these days.

this has been living in my monster lover brain for a while but i have been to stressed to draw it till now. the BIG SPOON yautja so with a king sized bed 5'11 human and 8'6 yautja the scale is pretty much right. these 2 really need to get some custom furniture made finding a place with high ceilings was easy enough door frames are still a issue though. and gotta hold your human space heater close through out the night
