The Crimson Gutter V5
"You’ve been Embraced, brought into the night and left to fend for yourself with your
coterie. Now what?"
The Crimson Gutter chronicle introduces core concepts during play such as feeding, the sects (Anarchs, Camarilla, and the Church of Caine), and the Masquerade itself while giving the players’ characters a chance to carve a niche for themselves among the Kindred.

Revisiting: Werewolf the Apocalypse [5th edition popular name]
This was written to correct a podcast I could not stand by. The original Werewolf 5th edition came from a perception of a clear bias. I wanted "5th edition". What we got was "Werewolf the Apocalypse". A reimagined story. Reimagined means to reinterpret imaginatively. I did not give it a solid chance.
2 months since I released that pod, I have been working on a campaign for the reimagined werewolf story and I fell in love with it.
I hope, with this podcast, fans come with me on that journey and dare to buy the reimagined tale and see if the feel of the new captivates you. At the very least, have an informed opinion from trying the material out and not settling for just reading it. This is my apology for going against a principal I typically held to.

W20 Apocalyptic Record "The Night We Loat Ranch Apocalypse"
"Get comfy, pups. If you want a tale of blood, claws,
gore, and guts, I’m going to regale you with one hell
of a tragic story. These are the recollections of Astrid
Broken Claw, Ahroun of the Get of Fenris. Do you
know her name? You should. She was a key player in
the Amazon War of the late 20th century. Astrid herself
told me — Nina Freeman, her blessed granddaughter."

Love Bites. A New Year's Story for V5
"Love Bites features the messy entanglements that
emerge when what passes for love among the Kindred
meets politics. On New Year’s Eve, the Prince entrusts
an up-and-coming Maréchal coterie with what seems
like an easy task: escort her prodigal grandchilde,
Gatsby, to a Nosferatu party hosted by visiting
Cleopatras, ensure he has a memorable night, and safely
return him to her penthouse before dawn.
To accomplish this, they must contend with Gatsby’s
antics, face the inconveniences of a celebrating city, and
get him to the warrens before midnight to honor the
Nosferatu with a New Year’s toast."

Customer Reviews
Holy Crap! Croatan Review was Amazing
I’m still listening to it but my God man, this is probably the most intense and in-depth discussion of RPG lore I’ve ever heard and I only pray there’s more of this in your catalog. Looking at this as a tribute to the native Americans while keeping it separate says so much. Keep the woke reaction at bay because the point is just read and understand the tribute that this is. WELL DONE GUYS!
10 episodes in and I’m done
There are two hosts - one of them is so awful he’s put me off the podcast.
He constantly makes hostile and abusive comments about anyone who doesn’t want to play the same game as him the way he plays it.
He insists that if you change a game in any way you’re not playing that game any more, then insists that people should only play VtM with the subset of rules he chooses along with some more rules that only seem to live in his head. Then, totally oblivious to his own hypocrisy he goes back to being abusive about people who play other games or who change them.
His commentary on going to Goth clubs - in real life - to pick up women for sex and hating that they had the temerity to want to decide what name they used for themselves was… pretty nauseating. Particularly from a guy who goes by “Bob” which isn’t the name his momma gave him.
Perfect for Night Trucking
I’m an overnight truck driver and recently found this gem and listen to these guys about eight hours a night and it doesn’t get old. I’ve been a storyteller for over twenty years but I am constantly learning new things as well as just enjoying the team break down storytelling, player tips, and depth of material across the scope of Vampire. I’m only forty episodes in but loving this and you may as well. Keep it up guys
