"Dating" Apps and the Modern Kindred...

SPOILER ALERT

So, I was setting up a Twitter profile for this website (which IS up now, by the way), and in the process of following people, I came upon this interesting new thing called Tender. You can check it out at App.Tenderbeta.com. At cursory glance, it would appear to be a dating website...

But dig just a tiny bit deeper and things stop making sense. The signup for this "dating" website asks for things like your blood type, how often you go out alone, and what strange things you might be into (such as Necromancy, Demonology, Chaos Magick, etc).It assigns you a generated username (mine is ReliableSaint34), and tells you about the people in your area and other areas that are "Hungry," "Sick," "Alone," or whatever else.

This is all fake! As it turns out, Tender is a website that is very briefly mentioned in the V5 Camarilla book as a way that young, crafty Nosferatu hunt for prey! This is a genius move by White Wolf, making a fake dating app to advertise something upcoming, with concept art included. Other sources on the internet believe that this is teasing a VtM video game, and I'd be perfectly happy with that. I think this is brilliant, and I hope they use these kinds of methods moving forward for any other new products they plan on releasing. Anyway, go check it out for yourself and let me know what you think down in the comments section below. And if someone from Tender messages you, remember "Its a TRAP!"
