Wildwood is beautifully made, sometimes really dark for what it is.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Dark Alleys
Vampire: The Masquerade. Four new players, one not new. So, modern setting. Camarilla nobodies, a mystery to solve...

A city somewhere in America, maybe even a real one.
A Gangrel vagabond
A Hecata medical student
A Toreador who never lived to be a star
A Tremere researcher
A Ventrue thug
Someone that one of the older vampires cares about is missing. She would like him found, ideally without learning about the Kindred.

We didn't know this when we started
Hallmark Christmas movies of the year include a time travel romance with Holland Roden (Cara) as a lady from a hundred and ten years ago.
Not a hundred and forty years but you can't have everything.

Talk Like A Pirate Day
Maybe Talk Like A Pirate Day has gotten too commercialised but I try to keep its spirit alive.

Star Trek at 60
Star Trek has some many characters so many of us can relate to.
Like Major Kira in Deep Space Nine not wanting to take anybody's shit.

RPGaDAY 2026 overview
RPGaDAY 2026
These are always fun, seeing responses far and wide, especially on Bluesky this year. Got some inevitable New Bremen nostalgia in with the Vampire talk, also a fair bit of Mage as is active and long-running and a few others like supers and Star Wars. What will I be doing and talking about next year? We shall see!

New Bremen venues, what if
I was briefly imagining what a game chat like New Bremen would have looked like if we had players self-select into soft play and hard play characters, but stayed within the same setting. We had "unmoderated" chats where people went off and did whatever, but some of those folks might have stayed in the main community if they could soft play. I think the tag would need to be a clearly marked longterm choice, meaning no convenient ripcording out of hard play the moment something went wrong. Probably the Storytellers could have focused mostly on the hard play parts of the game if only because those required the most adjudication. Anyway, just idle thoughts about what could have been. Maybe subconsciously prompted because I ended up wearing an old Vampire T-shirt today.

And yes, I know some players effectively already did this by holing up in locked chat rooms.

I feel like this would have addressed some issues.
One of the things I wonder about was also just a significant ratio of players to STs - where I wonder if there were enough people offering content to satisfy the intense demand. For some of the most popular venues - it would seem there was players present to consume content all hours of the day and no way to be able to reasonably have content ready to go for enough of them. As a consequence - for idle people who aren't against stirring the pot, they'd go off and cause a ruckus

Vampire: The Masquerade V6 alpha
If that's what it comes out like then it will be okay after we houserule out about half the new ideas.
