Lessons Learned:

  1. Despite entire fandom constantly talking about the Chaos Gods and threat Chaos poses, most of the Imperial Guard aren’t supposed to know anything about it, less alone the specific names.
  2. Despite their enemeis in Sabbath participating commonly in diablerie and fandom making big deal out of what an unforgivable crime it is, it is not something an average Vampire of Carmarilla knows about in any way.

    It’s always difficult finding the balance between in character and out of character knowledge. I recently had to explain to my players that their characters definitely knew about a major historical event in the setting, because while it happened 10,000 years ago it’s important to the origin of several gods, so is a widely known story.

    100% correct about 40K but i dont think thats accurate about VTM. Yes the Amaranth is a massive taboo and stigma but its not realistic to think that vampires who drink humans blood never imagined that maybe they could drink each others blood too. Even if they didnt know it could lead to some special outcome. Something cant be a stigma unless its well known of.
