When the Antideluvean awoke, it drove everyone in its clan mad, and many of them were destroyed by their allies in the ensuing chaos. It took the combined efforts of three of the most powerful Kuei-jin, the Technocracy from Mage: The Ascension, and sunlight itself to destroy it. An event called the Week of Nightmares occurred, where the Ravnos Antideluvean woke up in India and went on a rampage. Perhaps the biggest mistreatment of the Ravnos happened at the start of Gehenna. Clan Ravnos were hit particularly hard by outdated depictions of the Romani people, but the Vampire: The Masquerade Companion has gone to great lengths to help modernize the clan and do away with the harmful stereotypes that they were associated with in the past. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines was particularly bad in this regard. There were also lots of elements of the old World of Darkness that are now painful to behold, in their depiction of different cultures and races. The World of Darkness game lines had no problem including gay LGBTQ characters at a time when that was almost unheard of in many forms of media. The old version of the World of Darkness and Vampire: The Masquerade was far more progressive than other popular tabletop games of the era in certain areas. Today, we're going to look at the new iteration of clan Ravnos and how they compare to the original tricksters. I look forward to seeing each and everyone one of you at the 18th Annual Vampire’s Masquerade Ball, Saturday, May 28, 2022.The Vampire: The Masquerade Companionhas brought three of the thirteen clans into the modern World of Darkness.
