Absolutely. And Ms Pugh’s ability to make even the lamest dialogue entertaining and funny is more than reason enough to give her the front-and-center role in the Avengers.

Yeah, probably one of the most interesting characters created post-Endgame, along with Ms. Marvel.

And to you as well. Thank you for all these great games and looking forward to further exploring Akaroth in the new year…

Because you, a Tremere magus, are such a connoisseur of bodega culture.

Yeah, and one of the things that I wanna push the next time I run it, is that it’s a cold, calculating malice. They have teams figuring out how maximize the duration of strip-mining the populace, environment, and economy before it comes unsustainable. They’ll run it right up to the red line…

I don’t know why you are punching down on the only group of vampires more mistrusted than you…

…well I do know why - you’re fucking Tremere…

But Vampirism? You’ll have a hard time convincing the rest of the Kindred that you were born completely sans-Caine…

Hey, you never, ever steal a persons brand, especially when your mere presence is a harbinger of the Final Nights.

Because your founder was a naughty naughty kindred and Big Daddy Caine doesn’t give coal for Christmas, he creates it…

Yeah, there are games I hold very dear but even they are just tools in my toolbox. If I want to do something specific, I generally pick the best game for the job, not try and twist another game to do it for me*

*there are exceptions to this, of course. Player preferences for instance.

It’s quite a take. As someone who didn’t engage with D&D for years after getting his start in the hobby, I like the game well enough but it’s not the best overall at ANYTHING…

Any dogs for that matter.

Yeah, before the Great Purge of my old gaming stuff, I had a three-ring binder full of old Heroes Unlimited characters I had made over its three editions.

lol. That’s one way to keep get my large dog to sit still…

…but not a way I’d ever use…

(Snicker) I am sure the Adepts had NOTHING to do with sabotaging the Syndicates best laid plans. (Laughter)

I mean, do you think they would Life scan and digitize the effects of an illicit substance on an Ecstatics brain? That would totally be out of character…

It’s always amusing to see the ex-couples fight…

And I think their entire inter-Clan rivalries, designed to hone their skills, would eventually have torn them apart. We saw some of it in the Invasion but that would have just spiralled as the Invasion continued.
