Vampire: The Masquerade: L.A. By Night

I'm watching some kids roll dice and "play" an RPG game!! ..which may appeal to a younger generation of brain dead kids, but to allow IMDB to list it as a "tv series" is an insult. The IMDB description needs to make it clear what the series is about. I was looking forward to a vampire TV series with actual action and actual acting and was so dissapointed and also not aware that this is linked to an RPG game. The only visuals were some people behind a desk talking to a panel of a few poorly spoken contestants. It reminds me of those dungeons and dragons text only games from the 80's. At least I didn't pay for it as it was on YouTube

My apologies for the low rating but the zero was not available.

LA by Night is an absolute gem in the genre of dramatic "actual play" streamed game content, and outside of it's genre. It is as good as the finest scripted stage drama, however it is 95% all improv and character based as the storyteller guides the narrative. That may sound unusual or confusing to those not familiar with shows or games of this nature, but what I am getting at is that it is a remarkable achievement of high drama.

Vampire the Masquerade has captivated table top gamers, writers, storytellers and actors for over 25 years. It is rich with Machiavellian politics and plots. The game just going through it's fifth edition is showcased brilliantly by LA by Night due to the superb acting and chemistry of the ensemble cast. Jason Carl the Storyteller is unparalleled in his acting, narration and direction. He is the Neil Gaiman of oral storytelling and a true delight to watch.

I highly recommend this show. 10/10

I have been watching the show since the first day it came out. I love it! It had everything I would expect on a Vampire The Masquerade Chronicle. My favorite character is Annabel, and Erika does a great job impersonating her! Please, continue doing what you are doing. It is fabulous!

This show is amazing. I never thought this kind of content can be so fun. Cast is amazing. I can feel their motivations, their secrets, their love. Jason does an amazing job to provide an amazing story which combines politics, magic, guns and of course blood. I hope they stay on this course can create many more seasons!

I love Vampire and roleplaying streams, but this is something else. This is more akin to an improvisation theater, but the actors are tied down to the table, telling how they do their actions. You never get to know the actors - I don't think they even GET to go out-of-character, everything is just... stale. It gets real cringey when the sobbing starts, since they act out character emotions, but the player's sitting at a table.

The show has charming characters, good actors, and a cool story, but I'd rather have the actors do roleplaying with friends, rather than try to be completely, professionally in-character.
