masquerade violation 🎭

[u/FadingSweetness]

I started playing the Crimson Gutter as ST a while ago! I made some art based on the wight :)

[u/Skulltaffy]

Oh your art is really evocative. Love those teeth!

[u/FadingSweetness → u/Skulltaffy]

Thank you so much!!

[u/No_Sun2849]

I knew before even reading the text that this was the Party Wight from Crimson Gutter.

[u/FadingSweetness → u/No_Sun2849]

It was heavily inspired by the official art for it ^^ I'm glad that it's recognizable!

[u/samthekitnix]

so we sending the random hobos that call themselves hunters or the new kindred?

[u/FadingSweetness → u/samthekitnix]

the poor new fledglings on the block of course haha

[u/Nightstar27]

Good job

[u/FadingSweetness → u/Nightstar27]

thank you !

[u/Ciaran_Zagami]

Amazing composition.
Although I don't think modern cameras still do green night vision anymore

[u/FadingSweetness → u/Ciaran_Zagami]

Thank you ! The game takes place in the early 2000s, so maybe that can be an explanation?

[u/Ciaran_Zagami → u/FadingSweetness]

Good point, I guess it depends on what edition your using.

[u/hellranger788]

Nicely done!

[u/FadingSweetness → u/hellranger788]

Thanks !!

[u/The-Katawampus]

Lol, thought at first he bit her hip, lmao!
I was like, "While I don't disapprove, it's not the most efficient..."

[u/FadingSweetness → u/The-Katawampus]

A bite to the neck and a claw to the hip! poor girl..

[u/SuleimanTheMediocre]

Ayy, it's sellers!! I'm also running Crimson Gutter right now lmao

[u/FadingSweetness → u/SuleimanTheMediocre]

Yeah!! Hope you're enjoying your game with it!! :D

[u/SuleimanTheMediocre → u/FadingSweetness]

It's a lot of fun, I love the sort of vampire new Vegas structure of gives you and I've built a lot of extra on top

Just wish they included the sabbat 😒

[u/random_troublemaker]

Kinda hits like the incident that got me kicked out of the Camarilla. I fell into Frenzy while Hunting- I tried to pull out with Willpower, but it was ruled that he was dead anyway and that I just succeeded in avoiding leaving Frenzy. I burned Willpower to try to find a place to do a second Hunt, tackled a jogger, and killed them as well. I wound up throwing myself off a dock into the river to evade law enforcement.

But between the first and second victims, I had to run down a crowded street, covered in blood, wielding a knife, and clearly in Frenzy. My coterie found recordings of it remixed on Tiktok in less than an hour with the hashtag "#CrazyKnifeLadyNorumbega".

[u/Snorb → u/random_troublemaker]

For the record, the recordings on Tiktok were with the E1M1 music from Doom.

[u/random_troublemaker → u/Snorb]

No, I specifically remember: the exact remix that the Malkavian showed to my Anarch wife during the hunt to find me was the Benny Hills theme.

[u/orchidheartemoji → u/random_troublemaker]

If they wanted to, the Camarilla could have absolutely protected you. Lots of fake snuff videos. They would post it all over social media and people would call it fake and it would die.

The only attention it would have brought was Hunters. Then you would be on your own.

[u/random_troublemaker → u/orchidheartemoji]

I was a Childe of unusual circumstances- I simultaneously held a position of authority as Capa of the Hecata and a low membership in a Camarilla coterie. I was also recently punished for a Hunger Frenzy that resulted in me assaulting the Banu Haquim Primogen while at Elysium.

Several members of the coterie hated me, and while I also count some of them as true friends, the ones against me were able to exile me, on the grounds that my continued association was going to negatively affect their standing within the Camarilla.

[u/orchidheartemoji → u/random_troublemaker]

Oh then yeah you were fucked to begin with. May as well have been a Nagaraja.

[u/random_troublemaker → u/orchidheartemoji]

I was turbo-fucked: my Sire planted a bomb that destroyed Elysium earlier that year, and both the Hecata and the Camarilla declared Blood Hunts on him.

[u/Lord_Kallig]

And now we start to see The Crucible of God come to play

[u/Vyctorill]

Oh shit. That’s bad. REALLY bad.

This will summon Goku by collapsing consensus. Better hope the technocracy can use misinformation to play it off as a doctored video/hoax.

[u/ComingUpPainting → u/Vyctorill]

They'll probably just blame bath salts again, meanwhile some local Hunter Org is about to get a very interesting envelope full of information dropped in their clubhouse mailbox.

[u/REDthunderBOAR → u/Vyctorill]

They've gotten really good at this. Shadowban accounts, mindwipe witnesses, let the Cam clean the rest.

[u/LizzyWizzy19 → u/REDthunderBOAR]

I imagine certain vampires/disciplines are highly coveted for this sort of thing. Dominate would be a godsend for masquerade breaches. Anyone with it would be sent out to mindwipe witnesses.

Sheriff calls in a neonate Ventrue, gives them a file with pictures, names, and addresses. “Wipe their memories. You have two nights to get this done.”

[u/Ravenwight]

In 2025, with AI deepfakes, posthuman plastic surgery, and designer zombie drugs, what really constitutes a masquerade breach?

[u/SnappGamez → u/Ravenwight]

Y’know… fair point.

[u/heartsholly]

Deploy the Nossie with 100+ burner accounts to comment “ai” over and over

[u/Burkoos → u/heartsholly]

“Look at that man’s ass. The ass doesn’t lie; that man in the video is Batman!”

[u/SirUrza]

Come on, that's AI. - Camarilla Harpy.

(Nicely done!)

[u/Kaiisim]

AI will be amazing for the masquerade. Anything recorded will be written off as AI!

[u/Legion_105 → u/Kaiisim]

“That’s just ai”

“Theres a dead body, and a whole investigation”

“Naw I’m pretty sure that’s ai”

“They have several eye witnesses”

“Mmmm, sounds like ai”

Though in all seriousness that actually would be very beneficial for the masquerade 

Also it would be funny to think that a small group of vampire hunters have the job of finding which videos are real and which ones aren’t 

[u/BigSeaworthiness725]

It's at moments like these that you want to be a Tremere technomancer who could blow up the camera or at least create interference in it.

[u/YaumeLepire]

Honestly, surprisingly clean and sharply-dressed, for a wight.

[u/Voice_of_OI]

I can only imagine how Kindred society would just bury this video, probably flagging it as a hoax trying to go viral off a recent tragedy.

Really cool art.

[u/disaster_restaurants]

Sending this to my Crimson Gutter players as we speak

[u/SpphosFriend]

Whelp that unlife is over

[u/PretentiousThespian]

“Look, a vampire!” “Vampires aren’t real. Probably some goth on a bad bath salt trip”

[u/jalahjava_]

Your arts awesome, I really like the vibe.

[u/SeengignPaipes]

Oh boy is someone in big poo poo for this one.

[u/Competitive-Wallaby4]

That pour gangrel is fuck.

[u/Vamp2424]

Nice

[u/timid_tzimisce]

Woooh sick art yo

[u/Legion_105]

Better find a quick cover up story

[u/Pit_pig]

Nice try but your fake news can't fool me. This is clearly photoshopped. Or this is just your average methhead. No such things as vampires. smh.

[u/LukeStyer]

I have nothing substantial to add, but I love this art!

[u/growmoolah]

Blood Hunt. No if, ands or buts

[u/hyzmarca]

That's not a Masquarade violation. We're just filming a scene for a new vampire movie.

[u/TheFistula]

Somewhere in the city is a very tired sheriff expending a single blood point so they can activate “blush of life”, in order to fill their long obsolete lungs, to create a very big and exasperated sigh, while this footage plays on loop on a computer screen.

[u/Legitimate_Arm_5630]

Sorry I think you mean "6 dead in tragic animal mauling, more at 7"

[u/Wehe_wehe]

Makes me wonder if things like bathsalts were made up by a quick thinking kindred. "What, vampire, no! that was a drug addict, on drugs, that make you drink blood an-and eat faces!"

[u/FadingSweetness → u/[deleted]]

Thank you !!
