People tend to make madness hilarious, and I wanted to try to get into the head of someone without impulse control or rational thought patterns. I wanted them to tap into the Malkavian “insight” – somewhat like having ESP without really knowing why you know these things – and also make them sound like people that would make you uncomfortable, rather than be over-the-top zany. One of the things I wanted to do with the Malkavians was not just make them “crazy” because I think that’s too easy. While I might have written the majority of the Malkavian dialogue, the idea to have Malkavian-flavored responses came from Chad Moore (who also wrote a few characters, including Strauss). I read most of the source material – all the core and clan books. To what degree was he (or she) based on White Wolf's existing template, and from where else did you draw inspiration? The Malkavian was a taut combination of nonsense poetry, startling insight, hilarity and depravity. First up, we have to do some Bloodlines chat, and in particular tackle the Malkavian character who, as you know, was no small influence in my character design on Penumbra: Overture. Hi Brian, thanks for talking to me today.
