    The Crimson Gutter V5

    "You’ve been Embraced, brought into the night and left to fend for yourself with your
    coterie. Now what?"

    The Crimson Gutter chronicle introduces core concepts during play such as feeding, the sects (Anarchs, Camarilla, and the Church of Caine), and the Masquerade itself while giving the players’ characters a chance to carve a niche for themselves among the Kindred.

    Blood Stained Love V5

    “It’s so romantic! Just imagine how beautiful it must have been, the Vermilion Wedding. I’m so envious.

    Revisiting: Werewolf the Apocalypse [5th edition popular name]

    This was written to correct a podcast I could not stand by. The original Werewolf 5th edition came from a perception of a clear bias. I wanted "5th edition".  What we got was "Werewolf the Apocalypse". A reimagined story. Reimagined means to reinterpret imaginatively. I did not give it a solid chance. 
    2 months since I released that pod, I have been working on a campaign for the reimagined werewolf story and I fell in love with it.

    I hope, with this podcast, fans come with me on that journey and dare to buy the reimagined tale and see if the feel of the new captivates you. At the very least, have an informed opinion from trying the material out and not settling for just reading it. This is my apology for going against a principal I typically held to.

    W20 Apocalyptic Record "The Night We Loat Ranch Apocalypse"

    "Get comfy, pups. If you want a tale of blood, claws,
    gore, and guts, I’m going to regale you with one hell
    of a tragic story. These are the recollections of Astrid
    Broken Claw, Ahroun of the Get of Fenris.
    Do you
    know her name? You should. She was a key player in
    the Amazon War of the late 20th century. Astrid herself
    told me — Nina Freeman, her blessed granddaughter."

    Love Bites. A New Year's Story for V5


    "Love Bites features the messy entanglements that
    emerge when what passes for love among the Kindred
    meets politics. On New Year’s Eve, the Prince entrusts
    an up-and-coming Maréchal coterie with what seems
    like an easy task: escort her prodigal grandchilde,
    Gatsby, to a Nosferatu party hosted by visiting
    Cleopatras, ensure he has a memorable night, and safely
    return him to her penthouse before dawn.
    To accomplish this, they must contend with Gatsby’s
    antics, face the inconveniences of a celebrating city, and
    get him to the warrens before midnight to honor the
    Nosferatu with a New Year’s toast."

    ST Vault "Damned Blood: Baali" V5

    "The Baali are a clan causing much controversy. The question
    whether they qualify as a clan or just a bloodline (and
    if so from which clan) is open for discussion. While the
    Kindred are generally not considered heroes and revel in
    their dark drives, the Baali are regarded as pure evil. They
    are accused of consorting with demons, corrupting mortals
    and kindred alike, and working to bring about Gehenna to
    destroy the world in an orgy of bloodshed and chaos."

    Croatan Song

    "...Hear now the tales of the past. Sing of the ancient times and
    the bright morning and golden afternoon of our lives. For in the
    time before the Wyrmcomers, we did not yet fear the coming of the
    night. Our voices lit the darkness then as we sang of our triumphs
    and sorrows. My song tonight holds within it the tales of those times, of
    little brother Wendigo and elder brother Uktena. These
    tales may show our power and our pride and our love for our lands
    and Kin. Yet, it is
    the one who is absent of whom I truly sing, for
    if we heed not the tale I tell, there will be none of us left to sing the
    greatest song of sorrow, known to us as
    the Croatan Song."
    --
    Greenwoman Threepaws, elder of the Sept
        Wisdom Keeper of the Cherokee

    Authors:
    Bill Bridges (Croatan), Jackie Cassada (Uktena)

    "A Scenario Book made to give a jumpstart to a W5 campaign or to play on its own. Typically, we avoid reviewing stories such as this because bias plays a large part. Here we all gave a hopeful look to see the newest edition of Werewolf written as it was meant to be portrayed. "

    ST Vault: "Discipline Combo Compilation"

    Author: Zachary Ball
    Editor: Zachary Ball

    • New Combination discipline powers.
    • Options for cheaper powers to diversify players.
    • Optional req's and substitutes

    This book adds a layer of powers and just powers to add to your chronicles. For players its a new "shopping book" if your ST's allow. For ST's its a mine of different powers to illustrate the unique abilities of an NPC that you cannot envision on your own.

    Bob's 2 cents:
    "This book allows you to see that anyone can come up with descriptors and usage of new vampire powers. Caveat Emptor"
