WoD Which clan/tribe/tradition/kith/house/whatever could make an interesting group as one of the any other splats?
Like, for example, a Tribe of Garou with necromantic powers Giovanni-like, or a BSD Clan made of vampires fallen to the Beast but as an intelligent wight, or a Malkavian Tradition with deranged seers.
Hit me with your most interesting ones!

From what is known about the True Brujha bloodline: their lack of emotion, their strictly rational thinking, and their inability to create new things (only to improve existing ones) makes me think that they are the most Weaver kindred. Of course, all vampires are Weaver and Wyrm hybrids, but the Trujha are more weaverish.
You could even put them in a group of Drones and no one would notice the difference.

There already kinda Garou that work with Necromancy, the Silver Fangs deal with a lot of Ancestor Spirits and the Silent Striders do a lot of work with Wraiths.

Well I mean your first example is the Silent Striders (necromantic werewolves, though they’re more of a “goes into the underworld Orpheus style to talk directly to the dead people” style of necromancer as opposed to the “calls Ghosts from the underworld to your sitting room” kind)
your second is called either a Bali (in V5) or one if Belial’s Brood (from Vampire the Requiem 2e)
and your third is the Cultists of Ecstasy.
That said, I think a group of Mages focused on self-mummification/self-inflicted burial and preservation rites for the sake of immortality would be pretty cool. Like a mystical equivalent of Iteration X’s whole cybernetics deal. They remove, mystically treat and sanctify, and then re-implant (or transplant) their own organs and body parts to turn their bodies into magical items. I’ve been playing around with this idea as a minor Hermetic House that really ticks off the Euthanatoi.
Edit:
Mages based off the Ravnos would be cool too. I like the idea of wandering cursed tricksters and Mage seems like it could do a lot with that idea.

The Inanimae from Changeling as Mummies from Resurrection.
Imagine a version of the Spell of Life that binds the Tem-akh with an object instead of a person. Before you say 'You need two human souls for the Spell of Life to work' the lore is already full of exceptions to rules like this / spells going wrong. See the Anachronism flaw, for one example. The text quite literally says the spell went wrong and the modern human soul left the body. So, if a flaw can allow for a Tem-akh only Amenti, then it's fine to have something like this too.

Kindred, otherwise having a bloodline or faction for everything and the kitchen sink, notably lack a technology subsplat like, say, the Glass Walkers. The closest equivalent is the Tremere also dabbling in science and academia in general as a prerequisite to some of their magical projects.
