"It hurt to lose to Ronald Reagan. But after the election, I tried to make the transition as smooth as possible. Later, from my experience in trying to brief him on matters of supreme importance, I was very disturbed at his lack of interest. The issues were the 15 or 20 most important subjects that I as President could possibly pass on to him. His only reaction of substance was to express admiration for the political circumstances in South Korea that let President Park close all the colleges and draft all the demonstrators. That was the only issue on which he came alive."

-- Former President Jimmy Carter, on losing the 1980 election and the transition leading to the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, interview with TIME Magazine, October 11, 1982.

VTM in a cyberpunk setting... is this anything? Nos who get as much augmentation as possible, both to help them hack stuff but also, if their heavally augmented they can "fit in" a bit better and not break the masquerade. The cammarilla as a megacorp. Tzimice who shun all augmentations in favour of vicsitude. in the darkest depths of the poorest parts of the city, where the sun does not reach, Lasombra rule and are feared. I feel like this has potential

Anon, you may be delighted to hear that not only is it a rad idea, but it's an actual spinoff! In 1993, issues 36-38 of the White Wolf Magazine outlined a crossover between VtM and Cyberpunk 2020, called the World of Future Darkness. It's exactly as you describe - VtM in a cyberpunk setting, in the far-off futuristic year of, uh, 2020. First part has all the rules and lore, second part has Night City by Night, third part has a story module.

There's a good write-up about it on Reddit here, including links to DriveThru to buy the magazines.

Evening jacket, 1937, by Elsa Schiaparelli

A fine and important Elsa Schiaparelli couture Zodiac jacket, the Astrology Collection, Winter, 1938-39, Paris. This is arguably one of the most beautiful of all Schiaparelli's creations with its glittering embroidery, shimmering star-shaped beads and rhinestones set against a midnight blue velvet background. Marlene Dietrich was photographed in her Beverly Hills residence in 1938 wearing the zodiac ensemble with matching dress. Schiap was fascinated by the night sky that she used to view as a child through her uncle's telescope - the renowned astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli, director of the Brera Observatory in Milan. He inspired in her a lifelong fascination with the celestial realm. He commented that the moles on her cheeks reminded him of the Big Dipper which she adopted as her 'lucky star', incorporating it into printed fabrics, the fabric lining her salon, her own personal jewellery as well as on this magnificent jacket. Schiaparelli's press agent Hortense MacDonald stated that the Astrology collection was defined by Euclid's famous geometric treatise - 'Elements'.
