The Tremere might be pathetic loser babies that deserve to get stepped on, but at least they've got some style to them. Some dignity, some panache. The Giovanni meanwhile fuck their cousins, corpses, and corpses of their cousins.

>!The Giovanni just suck, I home-brewed their own Nictuku for a reason!<

There comes a night in every Kindred's unlife where they have to accept a bitter but unavoidable fact:

The Ventrue are, in fact, just better than everyone else.

Never forget that in an extremely roundabout way, you can blame the Garou for Vicissitude*

Yeah yeah, As Above so Below, Heaven and Hell are mirrors of each other, God is a flawed and fallible creator undeserving of worship, why don’t you come up with something new jackhole?

Any writer who uses Gnosticism as the basis for their world is COWARD who wants something familiar enough that people don’t get weirded out by it, but strange enough that people will think it’s novel and fascinating.

Do you have any idea just how many weird and fringe Abrahamic sects/cults there are? Use one of them instead, my god.

EDIT: So many people misconstruing my argument so let put it plainly here.

I do not have a problem with Gnostic games. I have a problem being told/hyped up that a setting or world as having incredibly complex, esoteric, or otherwise alien ideas in it, just for it to be a very familiar, very overdone, version of one specific belief.

I wanted something new or original, and found something that was not.

My reasons are shallow and rooted in disappointment

What are they putting in the water over there

Caine, his childer, and the Antediluvians are dropped in the Sumeru desert at the beginning of the Archon War. How much impact do they have on the world of Teyvat?
