I’m running a Halloween one shot where everyone is playing children, so I made mini character sheets for my players. This was a great chance to really pare down the standard WoD/CoD character sheet to its essentials, and make some modifications. Details of changes under cut.
Oh? I may not have your name but may call you this? Trying to show off your safety knowledge??? Perhaps we should call the Queen and tell her she has finally met her match in a Random Human who didn’t fall for the Fae equivalent of a box propped up with a stick!
The funnest part of inducting someone into a new fandom is when they inevitably run into the fandom’s quirks that nobody outside of it knows about, and you get the fun of explaining it.
Like when I started a VTM campaign and my players eventually asked “hey, how do you pronounce ‘Tzimisce’?”
and I got to tell them that nobody, in this thirty-year-old fandom, actually knows. It’s just. a little VTM fandom thing. The fandom is thirty years old, and nobody knows. nobody.
Zim-iss-see? Shah-may-say? zim-esk-kay?
Somewhere, out there, is the person who came up with the whole concept of the Tzimisce. The person who named them. The person who poured their life into them. Someone who knows the answer.
And they have kept their mouth shut and watched us all suffer for their own twisted entertainment.
And honestly, if you know anything about the Tzimisce at all, that’s peak Tzimisce.

ITEM: Your character gets one object of your choice. It can have an obvious use or not, but it must fit your character and be important to them. Examples: a first aid kit (+1 die for Survival: medical), a walkie-talkie set, a camera, a favorite toy, etc.
Starting Sanity: 7. Replaces Morality.
Gossip- hybrid knowledge and social skill also used for Occult checks. However, even with a good roll, GM may give players inaccurate information.
Navigation- knowing where you are, and how to get to or from a place.
Skill cap: 4. Children have had less time to develop skills.
They did a study and apparently it’s totally safe to walk in mushroom circles now
Bean, is what happens after walking into mushroom circles totally safe? Did the study say anything about what happens AFTER walking into mushroom circles?
Results inconclusive. Although cases of walking into mushroom circles are well documented, there currently exists no data on walking out of mushroom circles
They Did A Studyand apparently it is Totally Safe to walk in mushroom circles now.
Vampire: the Masquerade/Dark Age storyteller advice: It’s not about the players gaining power and trenchcoat and katana action, but developing tales of personal horror
Vampire: the Masquerade/Dark Age modules by the same fucking people: “Waaahaha I have the Angelfucker Sword of Double-Dracula and I’m working to summon demons with a Baali cult and three black spiral dancer hives and the blood of what is implied to be an antediluvian!”
There’s a Demon: the Fallen Dark Ages crossover module where you can meet and fuck an actual demon… I mean it doesn’t outright encourage you to fuck the demon but I know players.
