Vampire the Masquerade is a game about politics. If D&D is a game about crawling through dungeons, then VtM is about clawing one's way into power. In this episode, Tristan and John talk about ways to enhance these themes in you games. Tristan gives a brief overview of Jouvenelian political theory, how the Jyhad is a perfect analogy for the High-Low versus Middle phenomena, and why the Anarchs were always doomed to fail. John discusses his favourite British political satires: Yes, Minister and The Thick of It and how to use the theme of obscured power in your games. When Princes and Primogen come and go, the true power stays with the forgotten Seneschal who "served" them all.
