Is V6 intended to be the "Mass appeal" edition? and what it means for the other lines.

So I seen some speculation that VtM 6e is intended by White wolf to be a edition that could support a wide verity of playstlyes from personal horror to ginzo action.

This is presumably the reason for V6 to aggressively stream line the game mechanics and totally reset most of the changes that V5 made to the setting. All in service of making V6 into a blank palette that allows a ST to paint they own vision of VtM onto it.

Now Besides the obvious question on weather or not V6 is actually successful in this goal I wonder what this "mass appeal" approach is going to mean for the other potential 6e lines. Especially the two lines that already got a 5E boos.

Like giving H6 a wider audience is relatively easy since Whit Wold could just give players the option to choose to play either independent and SI (assuming they aren't completely drowned by AI slop) Hunter and they can even bring back the Imbued as a small favor for the legacy players.

W6 by contrast is much more difficult since W5 arguably deviated the fandom harder than V5 because it's core premise is to be a different game from WtA legacy. I generally don't know how a W6 could appeal to both W5 and WtA legacy fans without becoming a confusing mess.

Which is probably the reason why White Wolf has no plan to make Werewolf & Hunter 6e and are instead focusing on Mage & Changeling 6e.

Doing Vamptober with my Chronicle's!! - Days 1 to 4

[Day 1 - Deadman's Blood] I know this is probably a supernatural reference, but this is VTM lore, so the thing that happens a dead man gives you their blood is ghouling! Or an embrace in this instance!

[Day 2 - Bite] Or favourite Blood leach Tremere and her girlfriend! Another famous reason as to why you don't fall in love with your sire!

[Day 3 - Mirror] Few feel happy after their embrace, but you were just ecstatic weren't you?

[Day 4 - Ghost] The Onióne is haunted by a guy named John! Our elder, a Malkavian, convinced himself that John is the holly spirit. John loves Arthur, hates Maia's ghoul rat, and loves giving the Malkavian bullshit religious texts. He's not malicious tho, so he can stay

I'll be seeing you guys in 4 days!!

Giovanni Player Joke Request

I'm currently making satirical songs for various vampire clans in the World of Darkness.

The plan is to keep the music and lyric structure quite serious and fitting to the thematic feel of the clans, but make the lyrics ridiculous. The root of the joke isn't so much making fun of the clans, but making fun of the people who play the clans badly.

I found so much material to work with for the Brujah song that it almost wrote itself, and I suspect many other clans will be easier, too, but I'm having a harder time with the Giovanni.

So I'm wondering if anybody here has any jokes about bad Giovanni players, overblown tropes and stereotypes, or absurd experiences in game that they can boil down to bullet points and punchlines, so they can be turned into song lyrics?

Thanks in advance.

James

EDIT: Also, if you have any jokes about how a poorly played Giovanni might interact with other clan members, that would be helpful, too.
