Indeed they are, but Malkaves, or Malkav's Childer are acceptable terminology too. :)

Space vampires? Wow, that would a heck of a crossover...
No reason it couldn't be a thing, with the Masquerade still holding true. :P

Really? 'Cause I thought that Malkaves said:

"Pink Squirrels where red hats!"

that is what they would say about madness....
Some might.
But not all.

Madness takes many forms, but the penultiamte belief of the fair Malkavian, is that each Antediluvian had their gift, and that Malkav's gift was the greatest of all, that of the madness, the ability to see the truth of reality and strip away the lies.
And it's their solemn duty to spread this gift to those that are worthy.

Many Malkavians you may not even realise are such, as the insanity is subtle, a warped reality, or subtley crazy.
Some Malkavians may not even realise they are Malkavians. (Or Vampires, that can lead to hilarious (and/or short) experiences).
And others may not even be coherent, and just declare that the Pink Squirrels wear Red Hats.

we had a guy run a Malk....was a 13 year old named Timmy (Of course, he'd been 13 for 50 years). Guy was creepy enough he shoulda been in a stephen king novel.

Well, nWOD has Infinite Macabre, so one could do "Kindred in Space" with official rulesets... ;)

(P.S.: Khaibit (see here & here) are best Kindred... B) )

Favorite Nephew, actually.

really, coming from you, highly shoddy fact finding!

Though I would hardly be the first Steiner to find refuge in the Combine, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Assuming it's not all lies.

What if it's a clever ruse, an my name is really Cardinal Liao?

Yeah, I'll admit that I didn't bring my A-game to that one. :P

Still, even without the mask, that's (probably) 4 out of 5... so, why not get a mask & go all the way? ;) B)

it was meant to happen when I got the King Crab and Gargoyle.

Sadly, my sig file went funny, and all the images in it have corrupted, meaning I need to redo the entire thing from scratch :(

University of Wisconsin-Madison had an annual Lord of the Rings LARP going back to the 1970s. The people playing weren't geeks by traditional standards. Probably about 200 people a year playing orcs, hobbits etc. Very fun.
