Yeah, Stork was really on the ball. Quite fun. But Kimi! Why did you not Dominate Albert? It's so Ventrue and such a great way to show who's the boss.

Thankfully, you cannot turn anything else but a human.

I'm not sure if there is.
There is a steep learning curve to streaming video, and I think the last Vamp session was not archived on Twitch.
Now ... it's possible we saved it locally, but I haven't had a chance to get in the studio to see if we did or not.

I was only able to catch the end of the live broadcast. It would be a shame if your first live AP was lost to history.

Alright, since there may not be a video forthcoming I'm listening to the old-fashioned audio-only version and here are my rules corrections. You knew those were coming. Specialties and doubling 10s (P.96): That only applies when the specialty is relevant to the roll being made. So, when Thcully jumped the dude in the bathroom (...that sounds dirty), he wouldn't have doubled those 10s on his attack roll since his Dexterity specialty (Lightning Reflexes) would not apply to an attack roll. Had he been attempting a Dodge roll or something reactive like that, then it would have applied. Werewolves and vampire blood (P.380): Drinking werewolf blood will really fuck a vampire's night. However, I don't think there are any rules against ghouling a werewolf. It's probably a suicidally stupid idea mind you! Given that werewolves live in very tightly-knit packs that would likely take... umbrage to one of their own being polluted by a vampire's filth. (Werewolf players will get the "umbrage" joke.) Ghouling VS Blood Bonds: To keep a ghoul powered up, you need to feed them at least 1 Blood Point per month, but to keep someone blood bound once they had their 3 drinks you don't really need much, just don't treat them too much like shit and feed them blood I think maybe once a year or so. So blood bound mortals (human or cetacean) don't NEED to also be ghouls, making them ghouls stops them from aging (or ageing if you're reading Traveller) and eventually allows them to acquire Disciplines but it's not necessary to keep them slavishly loyal. Dolphins and Stu's blow hole question (hehe): The blow hole is essentially their nose but through evolution it migrated to the top of their head. As a personal comment, I love Stork's/Pornstache's very "creative" interpretation of werewolf behavior and culture and mating habits... and just about everything actually. Especially his interpretation of Arson's response. Also, when you record the next episode, please show the finger-bone necklaces again, I'd love to see what they look like. Also, awesome game as usual. I hope you're aware that all my rules-lawyering is done out of love. Love of rules-lawyering of course.

You're correct in that specialties only apply when they apply, but when they apply is a bit more subjective. Especially with something like lightning reflexes. My thought was that it would apply, because of how quickly the attack came; it went from "hey man, lemme talk to you about" to BWAM in the blink of an eye. To me, it seems like lightning reflexes would apply there, especially since the attack roll is Dexterity based. I wouldn't have brought it up - and wouldn't have allowed it as an ST - in the middle of a combat, but since it was the opening salvo with the intent to get the jump on the guy, I figured it fit. Your mileage may vary, of course.

Your mileage may vary, of course. Well, the reason I don't think it applies is because the attack was a deliberate action as opposed to a reaction. Reflexes to me imply that the action is done in reaction to something else. If it wasn't done as a REaction it wouldn't depend on REflexes, it would just be an action and therefore depend on... Exes? Oooh, Lightning Exes, that could be pretty scary too! Edit/Addendum: Because I'm really anal (hehe anal) and it was really bugging me, I went back to listen to that fight scene again and you actually used your Lightning Reflexes on your SECOND attack, at which point, even if you made the case that an ambush attack could benefit from Lightning Reflexes (which is actually not unreasonable) that benefit would not have transferred over to your second attack. Therefore AHAAAA!!!! RULES BITCH!!!! I KNOW THEM!!!! I WIN AT RPGS!!!!!

Yeah, I'll totally give you that one. The specialty shouldn't have applied on the second attack. I wonder what I was thinking?

(Werewolf players will get the "umbrage" joke.) You are correct! When a werewolf is made to drink vampire blood (and this is all from memory which I will look up later) they go into a frenzy and can become what is called in Garou lore an "Abomination". Now, one thing you do not want to have to deal with is a werewolf in Crinos form going on a Hulk rampage and causing humans to die from Delirium (Humans brains cannot conceive of Werewolves and their brain does backflips trying to deny everything their seeing which can result in death). Going Abomination can, and I stress can, be a temporary thing since after a while the werewolf will vomit the blood up profusely. However, whether the blood was ingested willingly or not, you're usually forever marked in werewolf society and have a helluva time getting over that bad rep. These were all rules added, I feel, by White Wolf to prevent these types of shenanigans. I remember in a game of Werewolf Wild West our Ragabash went Crinos and bit a vampire in half and happened to get a whole upper body worth of blood in his mouth and chose to take a Rage point in exchange for not swallowing. A GM decision later and we had to let the vampires run away while we pinned our own ally down to gut punch him into vomiting. Good times were had by all.

Yeah, I'll totally give you that one. The specialty shouldn't have applied on the second attack. I wonder what I was thinking? Clearly you weren't thinking with portals. Hey totally random comment since I have your attention (so to speak). This goes back a while but I believe in episode 16 or 17 of season 16, you totally had a golden opportunity to get back at Stu for mocking your mispronunciation of "gibbering" and you totally didn't take it! On, I think three occasions, Stu referred to the Star Wars novel "Darth Plagueis" and its titular character as "Darth Plajis" and you totally let it slide!!! You even used the correct pronunciation, I think twice, and never threw it in Stu's face. You could've roasted his frikin balls over that one, son! Especially since it was a "g" vs "j" mistake, which is exactly what he roasted you over on so many occasions. You had him by the balls right there, his sack was just hanging there in all its glorious vulnerability and all you had to do was reach out and grab it and squeeeeeeeeeze out your revenge. Imagine the vicious mockeries you could have unleashed upon your erstwhile tormentor, "That's right Stu, Darth Plajis was really an awful guy, just like that time in the dark ages when all those people died of the Black Plaje! Yeah, that was totally horrible." Or "Oh, I'm sorry Stu are my comments about your mispronunciation bothering you, I'm sorry I'll stop right now, I wouldn't want to be plajing you with them for the whole show. " Aaaahh, to think of things that could have been.

I don't recall any specific rules for what happens to werewolves when they drink vampire blood, though I can imagine something bad happening. Abominations, however, are a different thing entirely, that's when a vampire actually embraces a werewolf, the result is a mad, undead monstrosity, which werewolves call abomination. They don't usually last all that long, they're too insane to survive long or a pack of werewolves will put it out of its misery pretty quick. (Just imagine the barely controlled rage of a werewolf combined with a vampire's beast, that's just a whole lot of angry all rolled up into a giant, clawy, fangy, ball of fur.) Also, I don't recall Delirium actually having any lethal consequences, mostly it just induces a fugue followed by partial or total amnesia, accompanied by altered memories to try to justify whatever bits weren't fully forgotten.

Like I said, I was going all from memory. I do remember some effects from drinking vamp blood, but I thought that was turning into an Abomination. I'll look it up later.
I do remember Delirium having lethal effects but really it's only if they have it for extended amounts of time. It's super rare that it happens but it's usually someone who can't get away from a big fight and then, wham, brain bleed. It's usually the reason why you only shift one or two phases when in a crowded bar because if you go any more than that everyone in the bar won't get up and leave, they'll just stand their staring slackjawed and usually die from collateral damage.
