History Trivia / VampireTheMasquerade

* DummiedOut: Probably because it's more impassioned than the rest of Serena dialog, or at odds with her [[BlessedWithSuck stated attitude]] towards the curse, there is a voice file in the [[VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeRedemption video game]] from the nosferatu tunnels where she would have given her opinion of being CursedWithAwesome.
-->'''Serena:''' [[spoiler:Damned? Christof, thou art the pinnacle of creation! Thou hast power surpassing even the most virtuous man! Thou art a law unto thyself, more god than man. Thou art immortal, an angel in form and power. Relish thy station! Savour the exquisite power thy god has visited upon thee. Use it, to wreak thy will upon a world of sinners.]]

* FanNickname: The Russian part of the fandom tends to refer to Old Clan Tzimisce as "Zimischi". The clan's original name is just as unpronounceable in Russian as it is in English, and the Old Clan faction is canonically prominent in Russia - so it needs a Russified name, and Zimischi it is. It means something like "Great Winters". Most use a ''different'' transliteration for the Sabbat Tzimisce ("Tsimiskhi" is the most common). So there is Tsimiskhi the Sabbat clan, and Zimischi the Independent clan.

* PromotedFanboy: Matthew "The Gentleman Gamer" Dawkins started out as [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC366ezryJzVHMZeoaXdD3hg a maker of Youtube videos]] before getting into freelance writing for the game. This would lead to him being one of the head writers on ''Beckett's Jyhad Diary'', which would become the baseline for the metaplot of V5.

* ShrugOfGod: After ''TabletopGame/DemonTheFallen'' released, a question commonly asked was if the Fallen were in any way involved with [[DealWithTheDevil infernalism]] as it is known to vampires. In ''V20 Rites of the Blood,'' White Wolf responded: "Maybe." Specifically, they stated that very few (if any) vampires would have any understanding of the nuances of the War of Heaven, and demons as kindred know them might not even be Fallen at all, but could be something else entirely, such as particularly powerful wraiths. Ultimately, they said it could be [[HandWave up to the storytellers]] if they want to get that involved.

* It is a known fact that Creator/AnneRice inspired some of the vampires' traits and distinctions.
** As of [=V20=] it seems that with book turned shows/films like ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'', ''{{Twilight}}'', ''Series/TrueBlood'', and ''Film/VanHelsing'' the tables were turned and they have thusly helped inspire new things in the latest edition.
** Essentially, Anne Rice's books provided partial inspiration to ''Vampire: The Masquerade'', which contributed to the vampire pop-culture that resulted, which birthed the above-mentioned vampire books/movies/films, which in turn inspired the additions to the 20th Anniversary revision. And the cycle continues!
* Had a loose [[Series/KindredTheEmbraced live action TV show adaptation]]... [[DoomedByCanon On Fox]] which was picked up for a second season, by another channel... At least, [[AuthorExistenceFailure until the lead Vampire actor's death]]. Even with a large cast with multiple ongoing plotlines, the character, especially the actor in question, was the main reason anyone wanted a second season.
