KaleidoscopeMind: based on the photo... is jacob cheating on book boyfriend?
Mr_Bitterness: @kusinohki Only in that they're both using the Vampire: the Masquerade IP
PMAvers: @kusinohki Kinda-sorta? VTES is actually still in print. It's got some of the similar gist in that it's multiplayer-focused, but a bit more modern in design.
Juliamon: what if book boyfriend is *in* the box
Earthenone: !box
LRRbot: In the box is: the hairiest gherkin
Earthenone: nope
FarleyF: @PMAvers same - maybe we get the not a drop to drink crew in to play
kusinohki: ah, thanks. I know of some old CCGs resurfacing as LCGs... hard to keep track of them all
Getter404:
A_Dub888: What up Fangsters, how we vampin?
roastbeefsandwitch: This game is only 2-3 years old, I highly recommend tracking it down and finding or making local play groups
Mr_Bitterness:
@kusinohki Just stick with Netrunner, then you're playing the best one.
ShaneLeeAtk: This is making me need more T-Buck in my life.
Nigouki: OH RIGHT

truenamer_01: Spooky season begins on July 5th. I will not change my mind
PMAvers: But yeah, I think a big difference between the new game and the old is that some of the other splats are showing up. They had a expansion that adds in Hunter factions, and one that just dropped that has Werewolf.

BrowneePointz: fite me
kusinohki: does jacob have 40,000 war hammers??
Gekyouryuu: @kusinohki right alongside his sick Red Mage sword
Kentosaurus: @kusinohki I think that's how many you need to win
roastbeefsandwitch: Knock out your rival OR run them out of Prestige points.
ladyjessica: 5
FarleyF: am i reading that right - Jacob is playing the best clan in the game #teammalkavian
ladyjessica: not 3
BrowneePointz: Tom Ska!?
BrowneePointz: Ben is playing Tom Ska!?
gibbousm: Not a Drop to Drink Season 3?
kusinohki: BLOOD for the BLOOD .... uh, suckers??
roastbeefsandwitch: Oooh, poor choice for 2-P... Malks pre-con deck isn't that good.
TehAmelie: aka Not a Drop to Thrink
DrWreckage: Is this like a trading card game with booster packs, or like a box set?
A_Dub888: How much prestige do you need to turn into a bat?
Mr_Bitterness: Lips with little fangs
LoadingReadyRun: @ladyjessica those tokens definitely have 3 on them, maybe our set is different?
ladyjessica: oh sorry totally misunderstood. I thought you said there were 20 points.
MWGNZ: brickchain?
ladyjessica: so 3x5+5=20
FarleyF: Auspex and Fortitude i thought
FarleyF: damn i was wrong
Mr_Bitterness: Fortitude
MWGNZ: sleeping pacman
roastbeefsandwitch: There is currently no card that lets a character turn *into* a bat, but there is one that lets you equip a bat *animal* to the character.

ThorSokar: dogs whos mouth splits in the middle are still dogs
kusinohki: I went home with a were-hamster once...
Dog_of_Myth: "Safe"
Earthenone: ahh yes, your intel chips
roastbeefsandwitch: "Safe" is relative. If you don't do anything offensive, it's not hard to plow directly into a rival's haven
BrowneePointz: Yay Copyright!
MWGNZ: rotato
LoadingReadyRun: Vampires move between Streets and Sheets?
roastbeefsandwitch: To answer the question: Intel generated mostly by discarding cards from hand.
BrowneePointz: From what I know of VtM Paul?....yes
roastbeefsandwitch: It's been updated
BlueChloroplast: Vampire in the streets, vampire in the sheets
kusinohki: in other card games, exhaust means removed from play to 'tapped' a 2nd time...*sigh* every card game has to have different terms
Earthenone: vampy nappy
BrowneePointz: Hey! Some of the Salubri take offense to that!
BlueFingers5: Hmmm wonder where they went 🤔
Nigouki: There's a "farm upstate" for vampires?
Earthenone: what silly thing does the game ask to determine first player?
CWaltz86: the expansion takes place in prague and im like... thats an interesting choice (knows nothing about vtm)
kusinohki: stake your claim now??
truenamer_01: They clearly went into the Warp. To serve they true gods of Chaos. OR something about the Emperor

CWaltz86: @roastbeefsandwitch makes sense, makes senas
TheAwkes: Proposed house rule: whoever has the most blood goes first. (This would not be a good or fair rule.)
CWaltz86: ive wondered if theres a way to mix the city decks but i havnt had a chance to play it recently
kusinohki: random thought - historical settings for vampires, like vampires during the salem witch trials, or the old west...
roastbeefsandwitch: @CWaltz86 They're not especially balanced, but it's a good house to update the San Francisco citizens with the new template of the later cities.
CWaltz86: unfortunate but what can you do
Alas_Babylon: Aggravated damage also takes much longer to heal than regular damage
PMAvers: Or weapons with silver if you're attacking a werewolf.
BrowneePointz: Pure Water, Fire, The Sun
Getter404: MAYBE if the user has True Faith? That depends on the edition
TheManaLeek: SAD can stack on SAD? I feel that.
FarleyF: Capadocians from memory are affected by Garlic
gualdhar: so Italian vampires still exist, got it
CWaltz86: @roastbeefsandwitch have you tried the hunters version of the game?
roastbeefsandwitch: Aggravated also punches through all static defenses. But it can be blocked with green (reaction) shields.
Getter404: @gualdhar Oh there was an entire Vampire Mafia for a while. Technically still is, but they had to form a Coalition Government
PMAvers: I mean, of course a chef is tough. They're basically going to war every day against customers
BrowneePointz: There's an entire Italian Vampire Family @gualdhar
gualdhar: @Getter404 I think you're just describing the Mussolinis
CWaltz86: chefs are wild, so it makes sense
ThorSokar: I mean, the chef cuts up bodies for a living
Getter404: (Formerly the Giovanni, currently the Hecata)
roastbeefsandwitch: Oh yes. And the SAD also come back later in the game, to the point where the City deck is nothing but SAD soldiers. It's a game timer.
CWaltz86: citizens in the street stay there, yeah
truenamer_01: If you've ever worked in a kitchen, you understand the Chef's high constitution. He's no stranger to no sleep and lots of stimulants
Getter404: Puppy!
BrowneePointz: The Hecata also have the Cappodacians I believe, which is REALLY funny that the Giovanni are also in it
A_Dub888: Can Gangrel recruit Christians?
Getter404: Yeah, basically the Hecata is the island if misfit toys who don't want to join any of the 3 major factions
CWaltz86: dont forget to put the blood on summer
Mr_Bitterness: Gotta pay for Summer first
BrowneePointz: (for those that don't know the Giovanni attempted to Genocide and Diablerize the Cappodacians to learn their secrets. Cappodacius was fascinated and imbued with the power of death/the veil of the other side)
roastbeefsandwitch: Doing 4+ damage on a single hit can be annoyingly difficult
RatherLargeToad: that’s rather special of them
LoadingReadyRun: We 100% recruited the puppy. Summer Moon just came along
QuixoticScrivener: Banding!
Getter404: Oh no there's Banding
CWaltz86: yeah the whole game is bandging
A_Dub888: @LoadingReadyRun Summer Moon is the puppy
Getter404: Yes chef.
James_the_Dabbler: Chef got the booty
Earthenone: is the social attack on the chef a bad yelp reveiw
Nigouki: you puny mind can not handle this recipe
kusinohki: "my roast beef is too strong for you traveler"
roastbeefsandwitch: "Come, try my French duck sauce. It's delicious"
Earthenone: who decides who the cops shoot?
BusTed:
truenamer_01: @Earthenone It's based on who pays them off the most
Earthenone: isent this damage not healable? aggravated orsomethinhg?
Getter404: Oooh, a buffet
roastbeefsandwitch: Critically important other note: All healing and injury does *not* touch your Personal supply, only the General supply.
KeytarCat: @truenamer_01 In game, right? IN GAME, RIGHT?
truenamer_01: @KeytarCat Yeah... sure...
Mr_Bitterness: @Earthenone I believe a vampire only losing their last blood point to Aggravated damage makes a difference (burned versus put into torpor)
FarleyF: events you each put a prestige of your colour from general
CWaltz86: oh ya the rivals rules book honks
roastbeefsandwitch: The updated books are much better as glossaries
CWaltz86: thank goodness
iamatimelord84: to whomever gifted me a sub, thank you! I just noticed! you’re an awesome human. 🖤🖤🖤
roastbeefsandwitch: they *do*
Alas_Babylon: "owowrorr" has been called
truenamer_01: @CWaltz86 Do you want mine? I'd love to not have to go anymore
CWaltz86:
@truenamer_01 i mean i dont WANT a job
truenamer_01: Lol. Me either
PMAvers: Basically you can ask other players in multiplayer games so other people can pay into them
CWaltz86: n this is why this is a 4 player game imo
Mr_Bitterness: Yeah Conspiracies don't work great in 1v1
PMAvers: But the kicker on the effects is usually you can't target the detrimental effect on people that paid into it
KeytarCat: Suspend
CWaltz86: basically
BrowneePointz: they are LITERALLY the 2nd Vampiric Inquisition
CWaltz86: i dont remember i dont think there is
kumatsu: sounds wrong, Ben has NEVER been silly
QuixoticScrivener: did someone say PARTY?
confracto: I just imagine that re-learning and 'being rusty' is something vampires do constantly
Mindfire13: So its Banding?
couchboyj: Who wrote these rules, Andrew WK?
Mr_Bitterness: @Mindfire13 PRetty much!
Earthenone: do npcs heal, like could you theoreticly do it over 2 turns (i realize in a 2 player competitve game it is probobly not correct too)
gualdhar: it's a bunny bear!
FarleyF: @Earthenone unfortunately much like in MTG there are no damage markers - its all or nithing
roastbeefsandwitch: there's nothing saying you can't swat your opponent too
roastbeefsandwitch: "exhaust this character" is a minor action, not an Action. Unlimited number of these per turn, but once per turn per card.
Koshindan: What is the dog's name?
A_Dub888: PUPPER
gualdhar: uh, that's one drooly pupper
TehAmelie: leaking from both ends
Phazon_Kiwi: WoD has a card game?
CWaltz86: yep
Phazon_Kiwi: Is it new?
PMAvers: They've had a card game for ages, this is just the second one.
CWaltz86: technically this is the second time vtm has had a card game
Getter404: Put them on your chest in a giant baby bjorn. Ablative hobo armor
A_Dub888: You're nice
roastbeefsandwitch: Ranged attacks strike Physical
PMAvers: It's interesting how secrecy and intel are basically inverted from how it worked in VTES. All actions were performed by a character, and had a Secrecy rating, which sorta worked by flying. Characters can be tapped to counter/intercept the actions if they had enough intel ("reach") to meet the secrecy.
Getter404: Isn't a ranged social attack just a social media campaign?
toddbepraised: @CWaltz86 I think I still have my od Vampire:The Eternal Struggle cards in my closet somewhere.
TehAmelie: i picture using your phone as a throwing weapon
LoadingReadyRun: Ranged Social = cyber bullying?
CWaltz86: @toddbepraised nice nice
Getter404: @LoadingReadyRun Good lord, the Toreadors would be unstoppable
PMAvers: @toddbepraised They're still legal, too, since VTES has never had a rotation.
truenamer_01: "I use my ranged social attack to engage in a smear campaign against the tour guide. They lose their job and become my thrull."
Chesul: Is "Foe" the term for the target of the attack, or your opponent in the game?
roastbeefsandwitch: I think it's worded in that if you're attacking another player or attacking a citizen
MilkInBags: the moon is flat
Mr_Bitterness: Draw a card from Guv'nor's ability
toddbepraised: @PMAvers and I found them. I also have a bag of the glass beads blood counters in the plastic bag that looks like a blood bag.
roastbeefsandwitch: Also, worth noting, the Vagrant. It doesn't die.
MilkInBags: huuuuuuuh
Julian_Rogue: Joins stream. Ben's play gangrel and jacob is on malkavian. "Yea that tracks"
MilkInBags: that's a big gangrel lie
Texan_Reverend: Paul, did Jacob draw for his special ability?
A_Dub888: But Ben, you're already funky
Getter404: ooooh that's a business sign, not some kinda weird chip

LoadingReadyRun: is the symbol on Ghost a Fortune Cookie?
Sogheim: I didn't know it was Vampire: the Masquerade night, how's it going?
Chesul: at least it's not a dogman, that would be bad.
FarleyF: i've gotta see a man about a dog - Ben an honourary Aussie
Getter404: @Chesul Ben is not playing Tzimsce, yes.
CWaltz86: i saw a bit of a boy and his dog once
truenamer_01: Hello. My name is Selene, and this is my dog rufus. And this is Rufus' man Doug
Mr_Bitterness: FBI says Not So Fast
CWaltz86: i thought about a draft format for this game once, that was basically, a vampire attached to some yellow cards, so you'd draft the whole packet.
LoadingReadyRun:
The moment you get rid of SAD, it comes right back
Mr_Bitterness: In the Streets only; Ben attached in his Haven
CWaltz86: i have no ide if that even works
Earthenone: was the animal attached in the streets?
roastbeefsandwitch: About 1/4 of the Gangrel deck is Animals, if I recall.
CWaltz86: i forget, what happens when you run out of prestige?
roastbeefsandwitch: the supply color *does* matter for Conspiracies (and for Blood Rituals)
LoadingReadyRun: @CWaltz86 you lose
CWaltz86: okay thats what i thought
Mr_Bitterness: @roastbeefsandwitch Mmmm Blood Rituals (I like the Tremere)
roastbeefsandwitch: @Mr_Bitterness the Assimites are even more aggressive about it. Not only can use use that other-colored blood for Rituals, but also Diablere.
Dread_Pirate_Westley: One should have 4, one 3, and one 2.
roastbeefsandwitch: The End is Night is once per turn, fyi
Mr_Bitterness: @roastbeefsandwitch Siphoning blood from your rival's vampires is the best part of playing Tremere. You pay for my rituals!
TehAmelie: vampires ought to have very strong opinions about the other three humors
DeM0nFiRe:
Mr_Bitterness: And I would have won with that until the Tzimisce player built a giant ghoul, broke into my haven and smashed my leader into paste.
roastbeefsandwitch: @Mr_Bitterness Yes, the 6 - 10 physical strength on the War Ghoul will do that
Pistollero1: jacobs laugh is so good
Texan_Reverend: Again, did Jaocb draw all his cards at the end of his turn?
roastbeefsandwitch: Werewolves, Hunter, Vampires, and (I think) Ghouls count as "characters". General mortals, not.
Chesul: I love how clearly Jacob hates how much he loves watching people pop off, even when it's super bad for him in the game.
roastbeefsandwitch: if in the Haven, they're all part of the same party
CWaltz86: oh no.. JACOB YOU CAN BLOCK!
Mr_Bitterness: Yeah Guv'Nor can block
CWaltz86: can the vagrant also exhaust to take the damage?
CWaltz86: or is that only for attacks on guvnor
Mr_Bitterness: Specifically because they're both in the Haven and Guv'Nor is readied
Texan_Reverend: Wow...we just listened to Dr. Jones last night. How timely.
Mr_Bitterness: @CWaltz86 Can't because its Aggravated
roastbeefsandwitch: Vagrant can block Aggravated damage, yes. As can all Shields on Reaction cards.
Caryotip: don t you get to loot for aminal since you exhausted your leader?
on_and_awful: there once was a ship coming in from spain and the name of that ship was elizabeth dane bearing blood that might descend from caine row my crewmates row soon may elizabeth come to bring us death that's doomed to come one day when the vampires come they'll take our blood and go
RangerAlpha7: Can't do that, too much SAD
roastbeefsandwitch: One SAD is fine. It's when you hit 3 or the full 4 in play that hits crisis mode.
FarleyF: yeah i can see that too - Malks are not just the "insane" vampires but they are also powerful soothsayers and oracles
Texan_Reverend: Jacob, time to draw.
FarleyF: look up the trait Dementation as a reason why i love this clan
roastbeefsandwitch: Some factions can't make a physical attack to save their life. Most Tremere and Toreodor, for instance.
Mr_Bitterness: Now draw 2 Jacob
Getter404: I assume Tories just convince people not to punch them in the first place by being too pretty
Texan_Reverend: Jacob, you need to draw for your turn.
Mr_Bitterness: @Getter404 They also have Celerity so they can dodge and run. Or Presence you so hard that you just can't move
roastbeefsandwitch: I'd guess that they just ruin your reputation, make you lose your job, and crash your business. Out of spte and vanity.
Texan_Reverend: @LoadingReadyRun Important for Jacob to have drawn in case he draws defense cards.
PMAvers: wait, doesn’t the leader token give Influence not intel?
roastbeefsandwitch: Correct. It's confusing
Mr_Bitterness: Earth Meld is an amazing Protean survival skill. No Haven? No problem!
Texan_Reverend: He put the cards back when he was getting shot.
Texan_Reverend: Then didn't redraw them.
Mr_Bitterness: That's what Ventrue and Toreador do
LoadingReadyRun:
Drawing at the end of the turn always messes up Magic players
roastbeefsandwitch: @LoadingReadyRun True, but it's a good mechanism. For the same reason that the original Star Wars TCG and the board game Axis and Allies does. It forces you to plan long term.
Bobtheninjagoldfish: how many agenda to win?
roastbeefsandwitch: 13, but for a teaching game, I recommend 8
Mr_Bitterness: @Bobtheninjagoldfish Depends on your Agenda card, but 13 for these 2
roastbeefsandwitch: One
Texan_Reverend: Jacob, did you want to tick up the conspiracy with 3 on it to 4? You didn't put one on there this turn.
183 raiders from benjamin_wheeler have joined!

Getter404: No Obfuscation?
Getter404: @LithelyUnshod How was it spelled? Been playing way too much Mihoyo lately
LithelyUnshod: Lixue
Kentosaurus: "Stop trying to make vagrants happen"
LithelyUnshod: Iirc

roastbeefsandwitch: The card is beyond annoying in mulitiples when played against a mostly-physcial deck.
vinopinguino: got em
Laserbeaks_Fury: oh I just got that card is the meme
Laserbeaks_Fury: Swiped right on Embracr
Getter404: Boy, that would be bad if there were any mortals in the street
mercano82: Mooorrr-taaalllsss, come out to plaaay
Chesul: it's slightly worse +1 damage.
roastbeefsandwitch: note, Animals aren't Retainers. Retainers are specifically City Deck mortals
roastbeefsandwitch: it's not For Each, that would be specific to the card
CWaltz86: is this game two?
Juliamon: yep
CWaltz86: fun fun
CWaltz86: whats everyone playing now?
Juliamon: Ben on Toreador, Jacob on Nosferatu

Getter404: So if, say, all of Ben's characters were exhausted...
CWaltz86: yeah
RatherLargeToad: The best kind of victory…by default!
Mr_Bitterness: Yeah but you can see why it's dangerous with 3 other players all punching your Princeling
KeytarCat: That's a very VTM interaction
CWaltz86: i forget what happens when the prince dies?
LoadingReadyRun: I can definitely see how a lot of these mechanic might work differently in 4 players
Getter404: @CWaltz86 Everyone suddenly has an ironclad alibi.
roastbeefsandwitch: There's a fun version of the Thin-Blood deck where you can stack one of the guys (2 cost) up with Alchemy cards (up to +3 Def), then claim the prince with basically a street punk.
CWaltz86: yeah ive played only 4 players and its a tight game
roastbeefsandwitch: @CWaltz86 It passes to the attacker. If there wasn't one, it goes back to the middle.
CWaltz86: right okay that makes sense
Raincoast_Bear: Hi LRR Gang. Interesting. I remember V:TM being one the first properties being adapted to CCG back in the 90s. I didn't know there was a current card game. Is this a revival or a new game?
CWaltz86: from what i understand its a totally new game
roastbeefsandwitch: Not that it matters much in this case, but -Shields only reduces actual Shields, from Reacton (green) cards.
LoadingReadyRun: I believe VtM has had a few different card games over the years
CWaltz86: but i never played ES so idk
CWaltz86: god i love this game
roastbeefsandwitch: ikr?
CWaltz86: its too bad my friends arent as excited by it as i am
roastbeefsandwitch: Check the Renegade Game discord for finding player groups, if interested. It's a bit hit and miss sometimes, however.
CWaltz86: like i am, but i am technically proccupied with netrunner and designing a game.
drewm1022: I still have a box of jyhad/vtm decks and cards in a box somewhere.
roastbeefsandwitch:
Getter404: "We drank their blood, but their blood had drugs in it, and now I am a wizard!"
HorusFive: That Vagrant's back on the escalator!
CWaltz86: @roastbeefsandwitch do people do a lot of deck building?
Chesul: Still in the streets, not in the sheets.
CWaltz86: as a muslim its very interesting to see a lot of arabic/muslim words in a popular IP that isnt Dune
roastbeefsandwitch: The designers made an effort to include vampires from all across the world when they produce them. For instance, Chooha (Nos, 3-cost_
roastbeefsandwitch: who is Mexican, as far as I can tell
CWaltz86: hella
CWaltz86: but even the original vtm has words like jihad in it right?
CWaltz86: ive always been interested in the lore but also im bad at caring about reading lore
MrsLlante:
Raincoast_Bear: The first CCG was called The Jyhad
CWaltz86:
using an Y instead of an I
noisyblizzard: what’s the victory condition/s in this?
CWaltz86: first to a certain number of agenda points
CWaltz86: or killing all the vampires
CWaltz86: of your opponent
CWaltz86: in a 3/4 player games you just have to beat your rivals vampires
CWaltz86: (i think its 8 agenda to win?)
roastbeefsandwitch: Agenda wins are very important to some decks (e.g., play all the Titles, or all the Rituals), but for most other, they're really only there to add 4-6 Prestige
tenthtechpriest: Hi stumped
e_bloc: all cops are (baseball) batted
measureofhope: This is an oddly appropriate accompaniment to my Chronicles of Darkness session prep.
roastbeefsandwitch: This may not matter much now, but everyone in Torpor heals for free at the end of turn.
CWaltz86: 1 right?
Earthenone: !card sewer rat
LRRbot: Sewer Rats [B] | Creature — Rat [1/1] | {B}, Pay 1 life: Sewer Rats gets +1/+0 until end of turn. Activate no more than three times each turn.
Bobtheninjagoldfish: The fact that a game This complex, has a poorly written rulebook is not a great sign
CWaltz86: apparntly the updated rule book is better
roastbeefsandwitch: The first book is "learn to play", not "glossary". The later base box rules are fixed.
Getter404: Looks like there's a printer-friendly version of the updated guide up on BGG
NotCainNorAbel:
500
LoadingReadyRun: ya, next time maybe we will check out the updated rule book
chanterelleton: This is fun! When I first saw the title of the stream I thought not a drop was back!
RuiFaleiro: @chanterelleton I desperately want to know what Chauncey the Rock God is up to right now.
roastbeefsandwitch: Thank you for shopping at Quickee Mart
chanterelleton: Truly a delightful actual play show
Gadora: @RuiFaleiro Probably rocking. Just a guess.
LoadingReadyRun: Chauncey is always either Rocking or invisible
WiJohn: Or both!
CWaltz86: ooof this is tense
roastbeefsandwitch: There's a 3-attachment limit on all cards.
roastbeefsandwitch: The fun alternate Haven with Jacob's deck is Homeless Shelter, which gives Secrecy if they have an attached Vagrant.

Mr_Bitterness:
LostThePirate: GG
Bobtheninjagoldfish: wait.. parties can attack seperate targets? then what is the point of parties?
Getter404: Clearly we need to move up to 4 players so Ben can really flex his new Toreador playstyle
roastbeefsandwitch: @Bobtheninjagoldfish Party abilities and defense, generally
CWaltz86: gonna have to get in the yt comments to be like "run this back with 4 plz"
DeM0nFiRe:
QuantumTwitch: can you get the citizen with three attached to chen?
Getter404: And yet, I'm still thinking about those Arkham Horror cards in the new inttro...
MrsLlante: Thanks so much for playing this again!
MrsLlante: Want to see much much more!
LostThePirate: XD
CWaltz86: @QuantumTwitch you dont have to attach to the character that kills the citizen
MrsLlante: I own the game but have nobody to play with so this is great to live vicariously through you
Dog_of_Myth:
HorusFive:
Bobtheninjagoldfish: @roastbeefsandwitch what I"m saying is they just say "Coterie" becaise you can just send everyone in a party and then attack separate targets, then there are no resrictions to parties
Mr_Bitterness: @MrsLlante I'm with you on that
QuantumTwitch: great thanks for clearifying
Chesul: Jacob, if I were in your area, I would play this with you every week.
