I enjoyed Nosferatu, but seem to be a little geographically challenged... Surely it's quicker to get from Romania to Germany via land... It's a hell of a long way around to get there by sea...
Sorry to hear about the job, but the minis are looking amazing, and I'm glad you've been watching some stuff you've enjoyed! I saved the names of several of those films and shows. I've been out of the pop culture loop for months on account of military training, and it's nice to see some cool stuff has come out and that my favorite OSR cultural warlord is still on his bullshit in a good way.
Btw, screw that 4Chan anon. "Sounds like a skill issue" is my thoughts on that take. Seems pretty indicative of a video game logic infused, D&D 5E style mindset where the way you "beat" game content is by looking up "meta builds" online, gaming some kind of numbers system, and then turning your brain off while you basically play WoW by hand, all the way down to coordinated ability rotations and carefully selected buffs to raise your AC ludicrously high or whatever.
VotE is fantastic and made me "get" the OSR. It made me go "oh, the setting is the monster. The horror is that life underground is just really bloody difficult, and you either learn to live by the rules of the Veins or you break". I have loved that style of setting ever since.
Here in Germany, we tend to call the era "Kaiserzeit" so "imperial/emperor's age". As we didn't have an emperor for that long, it usually fits. While I understand that you Brits call ages by your respective king/queen, it always baffles me when Americans do that as well.

Good luck with the med changes.
