"Your vampire daddy-" "YOU JUST SAID THAT WE CANT USE THAT WORD!" "IM USING WORDS SHE'LL UNDERSTAND " Aaand jasper is my favorite kindred

I like how Jasper is continually acting expressively in the background, moving his hands in a creepy way or using facial expressions. 🙂

Getting an actual vampire to play Vampire: The Masquerade was an ace move. 👏👏👏

"I love your hoodie, who designed it?" "It's from Target." "Ough. That hurt my heart."

Alex is a superb actor. Check out the moment when Annabelle asks how to go back. Nelli and Victor laugh it off, but he looks very thoughtful. As if it's something he's thought about as well. Dude's Nosferatu game is on point.

"as a grown up woman you need to cry a river, build a bridge, and get over it now" wow!

Annabelle: having an emotional breakdown Jasper: the only liquid left in your body Is blood

How tf have I not seen anyone comment about Annabelle’s, “I’m a grown ass woman, and you’re a deadbeat father.” Straight up murdered victor with that line.

"I have eyes on Juan..." "...No I don't..."

I'm a big fan of Alex's, just look at his posture and movements, he's really embraced the Nosferatu here

54:00 Guy: -Maybe its the Landlord Anabelle: -Cant it wait? Victor: -THE LANDLORD! LMAO Victor is a fucking genius

"The Gothic diva version of Morticia Addams" Sooo... Morticia Addams?

I’m going to be honest as a college student if I saw a bald pale sickly looking person like Jasper at night on campus I probably wouldn’t think much just get back to my car to go home. I have some night classes lol.

Jason’s awkward college guy chatter just made me a fan of this series. I wasn’t sure about his GM style until right then. He doesn’t make himself a part of the story unless he absolutely needs to. That was hilarious.

Where’s all the Victor love? Dude was super funny and reminded me the most of fun gaming friends.

"Annabelle--who is we?" BIGGEST YIKES.

When Jasper snuck up and said "Library" I got chills.

Seeing Alex put his talent at work was amazing. No wonder he's a professional monster actor. His little movements and everything were perfect

Good cast of characters, Jasper definitely killed it this session. The player does a really good job playing a Nosferatu and the GM is good, even has his own spooky aura about him.

*phone rings* Annabelle: hang on I need to take this "Hey babe" Jasper: *ooooh crap*

I literally wrote the book on LA by Night, and there have clearly been some major changes since then. But then, as I wrote in the book, change is the only certainty in the free state.

This GM is very subtle with his storytelling, makes me nervous like I am also wandering around with them. I think im gonna like this series.

Jasper’s little growl acknowledgement of the Baron- I’m in love

Jasper: "What do you want from us?" Commercial: "Time honored European recipes."

I love this show so much. Also, Jasper is the cutest Nosferatu ever and I love him.

The narrator looks like a vampire in the making lol.

I love how "Jasper" is roleplaying his character. He's doing a fantastic job.

That was fun! Erica brought her acting game but FIERCE. B.Dave and Cynthia were stylish and regal, and Alexander is absolutely mesmerizing. It must have been a real privilege to have a White Wolf storyteller run your game. Jason Carl's demeanor was appropriately reserved and mysterious.

One thing I never could stomach about LA. All the damned vampires.

Wow. The actress playing Annabelle really nailed it. Her emotion while wrestling with her new life as a vamp was palpable and honest, and it really sold me on the world. Kudos for a great job!

‘You will be in charge of her education’ Nelli and Victor - Shock and Confusion Jasper - This is going to be fun

This seems tailor made for Bloodlines fans who've never played the tabletop game. If this is supposed to get me more interested in playing the tabletop version, it's working very well! I love the low key but effective narration.

Oh the nostalgia of that game. Find the sarcophagus they said it'll be fun they said.

Jason Carl is one of my biggest inspirations as a GM. Being able to create fleshed out characters through subtle body motion and inflection is an incredible skill I realize doesn't get shown often enough.

jasper talking to annabelle in the car is the most convoluted and hilarious explanation ive ever heard :) jasper explaining things in general is epic at convoluted explanations :)

This is my first time seeing Alexander Ward at all and I'm immediately in love

Annabelle is the best cliche. I called that shit the moment she asked why they listen to the Baron. I enjoyed this. Which is cool because it's cool to see someone extremely experienced run this game, and the players all seemed well really invested from the start. Very little out of character chatter, so immersion is good too. 10/10

This game is a real treat, and Jasper just takes the field with his superb acting, and deep immersion in his character.

It's amazing how much of a total face change contacts can make. Even though he is wearing a bit of make-up, its the cloudy eyes that really solidify the monsterous presence about him and it really makes him look almost ethereal and corpse like. It's really cool.

Nelli and Victor: *bickering about clothing* Jasper: "Would you two get your shit together please?" I already love Jasper as a character and I'm not even an hour in.

Annabelle: You're being weird. Nelli: Oh. What? Me? Weird? You wanna talk about weird? Jasper: If you point at me, I swear... I died laughing.

"What we are is hunger" Well said, Mr. Temple.

[[ _circa_ 01:40:29 ]] Storyteller: " You wanna *_lie_* to [the Baron]? " Annabelle: " Uhh...yeah! " [[ Jasper grins with anticipatory schadenfreude ... Victor face-desks ... Nelli G oscillates between offering (halfhearted) commiserative pats upon Victor's back and subtle face-palm I: BURST INTO WILDLY SARDONIC LAUGHTER ]]

Jasper is best character

The way Jason maintains control of the game is master work. Bravo.

"what the hell is a Bruhaha" that's it, Annabelle is my favorite character and she must be protected at all costs.

The moment Griffith Observatory was mentioned it caused me anxiety. I remember what happened there in Bloodlines, and it put the fear of werewolves into me when playing a vampire. Cougars, right... Great storytelling and acting from players and ST alike so far. Makes me miss having a group to play with,. :)

Great to see Alex's monster acting in process! I loved him, just because he's such a different archetype to the typical vampire.

"The hell's a bru-ha-ha" And I died laughing.

Anabelle: *starts crying blood* 😢😰😱 Jasper: "Oh, that'll happen--it's normal."

It's just so good! The thing that it starts with experienced vampires finding a newly turned and confused one is great because you can associate with Annabelle especially if you're new to VtM yourself. All the cast is great too.

LA By Night is by far one of the greatest things G&S has ever broadcasted. Amazing moody atmosphere (thanks to the incredible talent of Storyteller Jason Carl), edge-of-your-seat action, emotional and gripping roleplay, a fantastic cast, and an incredible rotation of guests through the first season. I really hope the rest of Season 1 gets uploaded to YT to share it with the world (and for my rewatches!), and I can't wait for the Epilogues and Season 2!

Jason: "Jasper is the most horrible thing you've ever seen" Me: Oh no Alex is Actually Hot

Coming back from season 4 to rewatch the very first one and I can’t help but to appreciate how far did the guys develop the story and their acting. Here they are still warming up and kinda kidding around and it’s all not too serious yet 😄

This is a fucking amazing role-playing session. The DM is a brilliant storyteller, the players are extremely reactive. It's the best I've found on KZfaq so far.

"who is 'we'?" OH SHIT! THAT MOMENT WAS AMAZING!

Love this show. The characters actually feel like people and the GM knows when to just let the characters be themselves rather than constantly interrupt the flow. Half of the reason I couldn’t get in Shield of Tomorrow or Callisto6 is the lengthy bits of exposition or the players over playing their characters

I really hope the "Oh she is dating my son!" was genuine surprise and not scripted, because that was amazing! Either way, amazing acting for a RPG round, by everyone :)

1:15:58 First rule of the vampire club: you dont talk about vampire club

The over abundance of shade in this one chapter gave me LIFE! Everyone was on their A-Game and I appreciate that tbh. Slay the game.

1:11:55 Anabelle: "Yes please Jasper! YOU HAVE THE CONCH!" Nelli: "What?" Me: "Someone clearly hasn't read "The Lord of the Flies" in school.

"She's dating my son" I laughed so hard at that I disturbed my cat. What strikes me as very interesting is the nuance of Alex's performance here. I know this isn't a traditional scripted type of show (obviously, it's a damn roleplaying game) but the amount of care that Alex puts in his body language really shows how skilled he is at roleplaying the character. Even the kindness in his eyes when he doesn't find someone staring at his blackened veins belies a sort of pained clenching of his jaw... Every time he's in focus he takes a tremendous amount of care in roleplaying his character. It's aspirational. I've also never had a player really understand how communicative body language is. So that's... very cool to see here. I came for B. Dave Walters and Erika Ishii (Erika is an icon of mine...) and I am not at all disappointed by anyone. Jason Carl I thought was a smidge bit cringe but I also thought the same think of Matt Mercer when I first started watching CR, so... it's just a testament to how much Jason Carl cares about how he reflects the atmosphere of the environments he's conjuring.

You've got a bunch of great actors here. Kudos to Jasper who's actually frightened me and seemed to be always in character. But the four of them really were great. Good game !

Already watched all these live, but had to swing by to give it a thumbs up. This show is really amazing. To anyone watching it for the first time on here: You're in for a treat!

Ah, playing Nosferatu with two normal-looking players. I still remember my first session where everyone went in to interrogate a guy and I just sat in the boot of the car.

This is definately high level roleplaying, I'm quite impressed. (Edit: the longer I watch -> no, I'm really impressed)

I loved VTM as a teenager - read a lot of fanfiction and lore online, played Bloodlines - but never found a group to play. L.A. by night has made me start working on my own VTM chronicle and as soon as lockdown is over, my group and I will start playing :) So thanks for putting this up, it has really brought VTM back into focus for me, and probably many others.

As someone who first came to know the World of Darkness through the VtM Bloodlines PC game (and have fallen head over heels with the tabletops and LARPs since then), I can't stress enough just how TRULY and deeply excited I am to see this set in LA, with all the familiar major lore characters and locations. It's nostalgic in all the best possible ways while being completely new and exciting as I sit on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what happens to this odd little coterie next. Keep up the AMAZING work, you guys!

This was so fun. And jasper's kindred look is so pretty but spooky. I love it

I thought this was going to be cheesy and dumb. I was wrong this was so much fun and brought back so many memories. Can't wait to watch the rest. Great job, people!

Annabelle makes a great job at putting ourselves in her shoes. She is confused about her new life and these old kindred traditions doesn't makes a sense for her. She is basically still young both human age and kindred age. So it is exciting to watch what will happen to her next.

I keep picturing Jasper as a goth Nosferatu and it makes me laugh

I would love to see Tailesin Jaffe play this with them!

That acting from the person playing Annabelle was amazingly good. Holy hell.

Anyone else rewatching this after NYBN? What great memories and characters!

I'm a fan of cr, but have only dipped in and out of other rpg shows, saw this and it brought back memories of playing this in the early 90s and gave it a shot. 20 minutes in and I'm hooked. Great job of DMing, the tone is brilliantly set, the story focuses on the players and keeps them focused and engaged and the lore knowledge is fantastic. You've lead the way to be a great GM without being a voice actor. Great players too, diverse and clearly invested. Looking forward to watching more.

This is one of my favorite things Geek & Sundry has ever produced. I hope you continue this for many seasons, or transition to other World of Darkness games when it ends. Nobody else producing great live play games in this system.

Guys, this is awesome. Just about 3 hours and A LOT has happened without the feel it was rushed or forced. When Annabelle started crying I was telling myself "this is TRUE roleplaying". Gonna call my friends and start playing a new chapter in our Chronicle ASAP now.

Damn, all four put in quite some effort. Annabelle's breakdown was awesome, Jasper is an absolute freak and I love it. The whole "dating my son" angle was sick...Jeez, what a ride!

Jason, mad props for sticking around the comments.

As a huge fan of vampires I have been trying to coax friends into playing this. Mad kudos for putting your footage on here love the game

It’s great to return back and rewatching this masterpiece all over again.

Suit and TIE! Its so god damn proper! RPG sessions are as rare as Birthdays and Christmas combined! I'm doing this next time!

jasper you’re doing amazing sweetie

Victor's one of the boomer generations of vampires, I like it

New to VTM and really getting into it. Victor makes me crack up! What an awesome team of role players, well done.

I don’t understand any of this at all but I’m loving it

Is it weird that the second I saw Annabelle, I knew the character was gonna be a Brujah?

"You have the conch!" Best moment. It really picked up when Annabelle showed up.

I related to Nelli G's "First off...NO!" on a spiritual level

Alexander is so good as portraying this character. He's so expressive with his facial expressions, even when he's in the background. I find Jasper creepy but the same time cute (?) in his own way. Absolutely love him Also the make up and the vampire tooth are just CHEF'S KISS

'Your Vampire Daddy' *dies of lmao*

And the Award for best supporting Vampire actress in an evening drama goes to..........Annabelle! Goodness, what an amazingly talented actor! All the emotion was so real with unsettling undertones.

I'm 10 minutes in and I'm already in love with the cast.

Jasper’s ”Bye Chris” fucking broke me

Annabelle is a precious peanut and must be protected at all costs. I also adore Jasper very much.

I couldnt keep my eyes off of Alex Ward... his mannerisms are so entrancing! Lol

the work that was placed in the characters is insane! jasper really feels like a nosferatu!

This was recommended to me by a friend who knows I love vampire stories, and The Masquerade did not disappoint! I can’t wait to tune in for the next chapter!

One of the best groups I've watched online. Don't pass on this one!
