Storytellers

((how is upcoming Fri or sat?)

While the plot may not be related, The Crow films have been my go to for setting the scene for the World of Darkness pretty much since I began playing.

Also the short lived Fox series Kindred the Embraced

KiDulthood and the series Skins (UK, I hear the USA remake is crap) are, I think, good mood pieces for growing up in the world of darkness. What it’s like to be an adolescent there.

Ichi the Killer. Over the top violence, dark and ‘edgy’ as hell. A fun watch if you got the stomach for it. Definite Sabbat and Hunter elements.

In My Skin - French, but there’s subtitles - is a grotesque but fascinating exploration of a woman’s descent into obsessive self mutilation. Very Malkavian.

The Big Sleep. Classic hardboiled noir. The book is better because nobody does wordplay like Raymond Chandler, but it’s still fantastic. Big inspiration for when I played a Camarilla Brujah deputy who worked up to sheriff. The mood was perfect and is for WoD generally. Dark, oppressive, stylised. Always raining and the liquor flows freely, the men are grizzled, the women are fickle, everybody is corrupt as hell, and you’re just… tired, but doing what you gotta do because who the fuck else will.

As I told your accomplice, Cali - “it was a prank” is a bullshit excuse and unacceptable. Respect the spaces.

Felicia O’Neill. Baron.

I spent several nights scouting places to find the whore house we usin. Don’t do anything to destroy it or bring attention of cops, 2eye, or anyone else we don’t want knowing bout it. Other than that I don’t give a fuck what you do there.
