VtM By the Book Episode 1, Part 4

We're finally at the end of Episode 1. This is the final part and covers the "Forged in Steel" Chronicle setting and its first chapter, Baptism by Fire which kicks off plot points that continue throughout VtM history. We also eavesdrop on a discussion between two Kindred that puts some facts about the state of things into doubt, and wrap up with some insight into the mind of VtM's creator while he was writing and learn some of the teams inspirations.

1st Edition Core Book CONTENT WARNINGS:
- Assault
- Human Trafficking
- Insensitivity toward and gamification of Mental Illness
- Cultural Appropriation
- Inappropriate words used to describe groups of people (changed by me where used when describing the original text)
- Using vampires as an excuse for real-world, modern economic strife.
- Using vampires as an excuse for accelerated spread of bloodborne pathogens, in particular those that have disproportionately affected minority groups.

Note: These warnings are for the book as a whole and some or all may not be present in the video.

Also be warned about my probable butchering of the pronunciation of any names and words that are not of/do not commonly appear in the English language. And even some that do, I'm sure.

VtM By the Book is a series that aims to go through all the published (and maybe some unpublished!) content of VtM book by book as close to release order as I can manage.
