What Tremere do for fun
By Rev K.
To a Tremere, a night without plots and schemes is like a week
without without blood. While the Tremere have the tendency to
organized to the point of anal retentiveness,dour, and
conservative,this is not to say that they are entirely without a
sense of fun or a sense of humor.
(After all, what scares you more, a Tremere without a sense of humor or a Tremere with a sense of humor.) after an extended conversation on the phone with a friend it became clear to me that even the Tremere like to have a bit of fun and kick up their heels a bit as long as it doesn't interfere with pressing business.
Board games:
The Tremere have a fondness for any board games that enables them to show off how smart they are. Trivial pursuit is a perennial favorite as is Scrabble. Gambling on these games is not uncommon often for blood,apprentices,rituals and other sundries. Chess and Go are also considered good for gambling on. it's also good for testing one's chantry mates.
The Tremere tend to leave other games alone. Ventrue are too good at Monopoly, Toreador pretend fascination with Mystery date turns the stomach. and the only board game that Malkavians will play is mousetrap.
Card games:
If you can't play Uno or Cribbage they don't want to know you.
Jeopardy:
If there was one program that Tremere really dig it's Jeopardy. I picture a comfy room in the chantry,with a big screen T.V. and a blood-soaked bowl of popcorn...
Practical jokes:
As long as this exercise in one-ups-manship doesn't get out of hand, Chantry leader will often turn a blind eye to this sort activity. although they may scrutinize it's practitioners for signs of Derangement.
Psychological games:
Send a letter to another kindred's haven with no return address that says simply " I know your Secret." and then watch the fun ensue. (warning, don't try this on Malkavians.)
Paintball:
For the more military minded, this is good way to build team skills,practice what to do in the case of an assault, and shoot the annoying clan mate.
Golf:
The one game that Tremere, Ventrue, and Japanese Kuei-jin can agree on. Networking is good. Cheating with Move of mind is bad.
Truth or Dare(with a bone of lies) :
Completely unlikely but too funny to be ignored.
"Truth"
"O.K. Have you ever diabolized somebody?
"You always ask that. Ask something else."
"O.K. Have you ever shared blood with a Nosferatu?"
"No."
"Hey the bone is turning black...Ewwwwwww!"
