The Tzimisce Irenka Brozek, the White Spider. which features high production values, an expensive location, richly detailed setting information packed into pre-written characters, and some plots or NPCs deployed by the organizers during the game. This larp represents an effort by White Wolf to embrace the blockbuster style of larp, Eirik Fatland and Markus Montola, “The Blockbuster Formula – Brute Force Design in The Monitor Celestra and College of Wizardry,”, May 6, 2015. Nordic Larp (Stockholm, Sweden: Fëa Livia, 2010). as well as several one-shots set in the canonical Convention of Thorns, this event marks a historically significant moment in the development of White Wolf larp. While larp groups have organized immersive, Nordic style Vampire games before, Jaakko Stenros and Markus Montola, eds. ![]() The latter factions ultimately reject the Camarilla’s authority, with the fledgling Sabbat declaring a war upon the Establishment that endures through the modern nights. In the White Wolf canon, this event leads to the official division between the Camarilla, the Anarchs, the Independent clans, and a new sect called the Sabbat. The Convention represents an attempt to establish a code of rules – or Traditions - as well as to standardize a new form of government called the Camarilla, which is based mainly on Establishment values. The Kindred were involved in a brutal civil war, in which elder members of the Establishment attempted to maintain their power while younger Anarchs rose up to kill and usurp them in a bloody revolution.

First one seems like perfect mix of stealth killing, high dps + great escapes and second one seems like classic pure warrior in terms of his disciplines.The Nosferatu Josef von Bauren, one of the Founders of the Camarilla. So far I think it will be between City Gangreal or Brujah. City Gangrel also is not a shaby spy thatnks to Shape of the Beast as you can be just a bat or a rat sitting in corner or on window etc and has natural build in super stealth thanks to their merit. Wareador seemsfun but Brujah seems to work mechanicaly better as combat char. Country Gangrel lack Celerity for me and Animalism is not good for combat.Īssimites are nice for pure stealth assassin. So far I think City Gangrel (if allowed by GM) or Brujah should fit me nicely. But I also have nothing against playing pure assassin if it's fun. Generally I like combination of in your face kill fast/soak a lot of damage with optional stealth. So far I am thinking of Brujah or City Gangrel if GM will agree to have City Gangrel in Dark Ages, as I think they were introduced in later eras? I have faced many opponents that were much stronger than me but by spending a lot of blood per turn, I managed to survive and win. Otherwise a sweet spot is 8th gen for me tbh. If you are quite confident then go 6-7 gen. It can be a real game changer if you can blood buff 3 dexterity in a turn (or even more). Celerity,potence,fortitude have some great combo disciplines. You could invest in some combo disciplines as well. If you wanna go full on break the masquerade mode then go xulo form tzimisce. But they can be a big XP sink if you wanna be highly effective. If you go assassin then assamite with quietus can make some nice kills. Use one of their rituals to see inside their shroud and then you'll be pretty much unstoppable. Obtenebration at even level 2 with can make some cinematic fights. However cooler fights can be done with lasombra as well. Celerity and potence can do wonders with a sword. My greatest combat built however was a brujah swordsman. Protean damage (claws) is highly effective against anything. Well if you are are playing masquerade camarilla then you could go for gangrel.
