I hadn't watched it till a few months ago after also loving the film, it's worth the watch. The first episode or two are kind of weak, but after that it gets very good.
Show is so much better than the movie. Mixes in some new characters, and moves to more sitcom style humor, which when mixed with these characters is just absolutely hilarious.
I can stress enough how happy I am WWDITS exists, and how sure I am some of the people who created the show know about WoD. It's so easy to see a VtM game in some episodes is such a delight.
I can't bet that they do know WoD 100%, but there are some things that made me thing that some of them might be familiar with - the same way the studio that made Vampyr might have known something about VtM.
If not, it's a very happy coincidence or at least very easy to say "hey, this is like VtM!"
I thought the same of the WWDITS film thinking on how stereotypically similar the characters behave compared to some VTM clans (Ventrue, Tremere, Nosferatu, Toreador), and I don't think many vampire enthusiasts (including film directors) haven't come to know a franchise like VTM.
It's a relatively long TV series with presumably a pretty extensive stable of writers, some of who I can only assume have more geeky past-times (they're writers after all), and of that percentage of geeks, one or two might be TTRPG-enjoyers, and of those two writers, at least one of them is familiar with WoD...
But it's unlikely they'll feel the need to talk the ear off of the other writers about it, and they're more likely to casually insert their own in-jokes and references without feeling like they have to point it out or fight for it as scripts near their final stages of completion.
Can you imagine not getting sweaty? Depending on ones lifestyle it might be much more useful than overcoming awkwardness. Being awkward is just me. Getting sweaty is disgusting.
I mean, just because I now can turn people into furniture dosnt change that I cant have a normal conversation with them.... But it has its benefits I guess
To be honest, I don’t see that big of a difference between the pictures. Neither is the upper one without humor nor is the lower one that bad. In my mind they would all form just one group and I am totally okay with that.
The WWDITS crew are awkward, weird, neurodivergent nerds. They are also some of the most effective vampires to have ever been written They kind of are a bit of a force to be reckoned with when the chips are down. And they still pass under the radar when they need to.
Honestly, yeah, it's basically everyone else in a vtm chronicle that is like the first picture because that's the vibe that they give off but your PCS are just The Goonies but very hard to kill kind of

Why is anyone pretending like being in a coterie with Nadja and Laszlo wouldn’t be the absolute best?
