Wait didn't the world of darkness go to shit thanks to Gehenna shortly after Bloodlines? How is Damsel around? Thought the new Vampire P&P was a completely different world? Am I wrong?
Bog standard sjw fare. See Star Wars.Dialogue is embarrassing

The very concept of end times is stupid anyhow (not that the retcon you've mentioned is any better). Why can't people just enjoy the setting for what it is? Plenty of fluff to expand upon without going (much) forward in time.Wait didn't the world of darkness go to shit thanks to Gehenna shortly after Bloodlines? How is Damsel around?

Gehenna was retconned, now it's a cyclical event wherein the antediluvians call all the elder vampires to the middle east so they can feed upon them before going back to another torpor.

I wouldn't say it's stupid in itself. It's a good idea to have some things that vampires can pursue or be afraid of. It gives them a drive, other than the struggle for power. What is stupid is trying to determine it in an absolute way. It's always better for such things to remain semi-mistical, with enough leeway for anyone to make their own theories.The very concept of end times is stupid anyhow (not that the retcon you've mentioned is any better).
Well, what you are talking about is not about bringing forth the end times, but just foreshadowing them within the fluff. That in itself is alright, but actually moving the plot forwards to the end times rather than simply hinting at what would ultimately happen within the setting is shooting yourself in the foot. The end times should serve as a bittersweet farewell to a setting which is either being discontinued or relaunched (as in the case of Age of Sigmar), not as the natural progression of a still popular franchise.I wouldn't say it's stupid in itself.

The issue with an ending is that it can diminish the impact of stories set earlier within the setting. Fans can lose all interest in some particular characters and/or factions if they felt that their stories all built up to something which is (subjectively) shitty.Silly that a setting can't have a timeline with an ending, and then you just set stories before that ending. Bloodlines 2 could have taken place in 1981. Why not? Then you get rid of the cell phone problem as well.
Bloodlines 2 is live:
I don't. Same segment's in the archived stream.What trailer? I posted that when the stream was still ongoing. This is the link you want: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/vampire-the-masquerade-–-bloodlines-2-from-hardsuit-labs-and-brian-mitsoda.126124/page-366#post-6752988
I'm very bothered by the broken russian on Damsels shirt btw. Couldn't they look it up online or something?

I think their goal was to write "future nemesis".I'm very bothered by the broken russian on Damsels shirt btw. Couldn't they look it up online or something?
What does it say, or better, what is it supposed to say?
Future retribution/Retribution toI think their goal was to write "future nemesis".
Simplest googling would explaing it pretty simple - russian language has three genders for adjectives which change the end of the word accordingly. The end. The rest of busy work is just to look up the english-russian dictionary.Now that i've tried to exlpain it, it actually does sound rather complicated, so maybe it ain't as easy as looking it up online.
It could make sense if she was just a stereotypical dumb Commiefornian who bought a shirt because it looks cool without understanding what it means or says. Or Hardsuit was lazy.I'm very bothered by the broken russian on Damsels shirt btw. Couldn't they look it up online or something?
Only people who are really gone are some of the older vampires who can't resist the call of Gehenna and the Sabbat who followed it willingly, trying to kill the eldest. Damsel is too young and an Anarch.Wait didn't the world of darkness go to shit thanks to Gehenna shortly after Bloodlines? How is Damsel around?
