      Vampire: the Masquerade

      “Kindred” = vampire

      Nosferatu: a clan of deformed sewer-dwelling vampires who run intelligence/black market type stuff and have notoriously poor social skills

      Toreador: an allied clan of vampires that are very high society stereotypically, with an ingrained appreciation for art and beauty. Typically very pretty. Surprisingly dangerous when provoked, though.

      Anarchs: unaligned vampires with an anarchist motif

      Oh damn, I thought knowing Vampire the Masquerade was a given in TTRPG circles. I’m getting old.

        Oh please no. That toxic Reddit power tripping sub rules about tags and lingo… leave it there.

        • Problem is, you have to play all of them to get all the specialized terminology, and it sometimes overlaps between games.

          I’ll bet I’ve played at least one game you haven’t. I know there are dozens of games I haven’t played, and even if I had time and wanted to dedicate all of my free time to RPGs, I doubt I could play then all enough to learn them well enough to recognize each from a half-dozen words in a meme.

          Depends on which RPGs you play. If I start talking about sacred geometry with no context, it makes it harder to figure out than if you know it’s Pathfinder.
