That's very kind of you! If you enjoy my work, please check out my current Kickstarter for They Came from Beyond the Grave!, an RPG of 1970s horror! kck.st/2OGbDvU

Years ago we had a two story game shop in my city, street level & basement. Some nights we could have over four dozen people play. One night a group of seven people came into play wearing sheets & blankets with full cover veil masks, with sticker name tags saying Wraith. Everyone in the shop pretended not to notice us, they were all " In Character," then there were those new to the game that get not get the in house joke. The five wraiths walked up to one of the new player, surround him and thew dice which most of them rolled high enough, they pick the new guy up by lifting his chair up above table level. Half the shop player were tripping cause this was a new stunt. New guy was on the edge of panic. Then the wraiths " Boo !" him with a scary pull out mask. Which cause everyone to burst out into manic laughter. After the chair was put back onto the floor all of the other players " In character " started asking him how he got up in the air like that ? All the while pretending not to " notice " the five wraiths. New guys," Are you F**king with me or do you all Really not seeing those Five People in Sheets ?!" Old players," What five people in sheets.?" ( A few other people/ players politely removed themselves like they really need to be " somewhere else." A few others just ran out fast. Since we have been spreading rumors that the shop is haunted for the pass year.) Then two other players sitting in the back waved and tap their clan name tags. And the Five Wraiths just bolted out at top speed. New guy left," Why did the Five Wraiths, and what the hell is a wraith just run out.?" Older player in a dimissive tone ," Those two guys, one is Termere, the other is Giovanni." New guy," How does that explain what happen ?"

Few note on the so called history of Giovanni, Disciplines 1.) Cappadocian : Auspex, Fortitude, Mortis 2.) Giovanni : Potence , Dominate , Necromancy 3.) " Lasombra " : Potence, Dominate, Obtenebration " Giovanni is a Caitiff of the Lasombra , .... " caitiff have no clan weakness and they can create blood lines of their own, with their own flaws base on the blood line found's personal character flaws. So this is the reason nearly all the Giovanni do not look like walking corpses. " The Old Man Giova " was/ is a ruthless brutal attacker that enjoy knocking pitchers of wine back in his mortal days. Known for taking a hard bite out of everything he could, " If you can not bite into a coin, it is not worth it's silver." As for the incest, that was normal in his " families, " even before he was born. Just read on Rome's aristocrat families and their "parties/ orgies." Get drunk, get your hands onto anything they could. Regarding Magic,.. Giovanni and their connected families were known Spirit Talker with old Roman pagan magic. Mage Traditions of Dreamspeakers/ necromancers & Verbane/ Hecata. With the Old WoD, kindred vita just burns away within a mages body and they can't be ghouled. So like the Termere who look for human/ mortal hedge mages practicing Sorcery so they can teach them Blood Magic through being ghouled, then later brought in to the Clan fully through the Embrace. So I would put The Old Man as a merchant/ diplomat " hidden Sorcerer " of some decent ability and was a ghoul to a member of clan Lasombra. And Venice, Italy was under Lasombra control. As for Cappado embracing him, I think the was just a myth Giova created as a bull crap story to impress someone. As to how many years Giova was a ghoul working for the Lasombra play off against the Camarilla is unknown.

As an Italian I hope you appreciate Italian history ! The history of Venice and its surrounding land cities is nuts, and how they were " involve " in the Fall of the Eastern Roman Empire. A campaign Saga of the " Sons of Venice " of Giovanni kindred, Fianna Garou, and local Mages driving out the Lasombra. Along with all the wraiths that were there before the clan Giovanni took full control the the location. I would consider the Shadowlands of Venice to resemble the slender of full Carnival ! Few more notes regarding the clan books of the Termere and a few others. When Elder kindred enter the Slumber, some of them are really just " Astral Projecting " into the Mental realm of the Weave or into the Shadowlands as mention in the Mage & Werewolf chapters on the Spirit/ Mental Planes. The scary parts is, those two books covers how Banes & demons/ unclean spirits strip the soul from some mortal and feed off of their victim's willpower. " Most idle mind homeless nuts jobs you see on the street or under bridges didn't get there from drug abuse. But by spirit feeding. " I say The Old Man Giova is a Spirit Eater. And is fully active in the Shadowlands of Venice and anywhere else he wants to be at a given moment. Please watch the movie " The Order," aka The Sin Eater , regarding the tradition of Sin Eaters. The leader star was Heath Ledger, the Joker from Nolan's Batman: The Dark Knight.

Problem, as a human child or just before your embrace, they cut off both your little toes. One to use as a tracker and the other to call and raise your wraith/ghost from in case you get ash. If the clan elders wants to get you, they will.

Years ago I seen a video in Naples Italy, this guy pronounce Palermo like seven different ways depending on the context it was being used, be that the City or as a family name to that of The Family Name.
