[Character Creation] [VtR] nWoD Vampire Game

[Festy_Dog]

It was meant to tie in with his background, and reflect a loss of mortal morality which was carried over into his vampiric state prior to concerns of humanity. I have no qualms however restoring his humanity score and undoing the changes tied to the exchange.

It was my intention for him to actually buy the humanity points back at a later time (to trade out humanity then buy it back actually ends up costing more). Theoretically, he would gradually try to improve himself upon realizing he's losing touch with mortals, just as something to use for a hook for future character development.

As i said, it's fine. Just don't let Biggs catch you playing with your food. Becomming a vamp hasn't dulled his desire to wipe out the entire species one bit. It just made him more efficient.

War, you're on deck.
I'd appreciate it if you could just run with some of the stuff (who's your source, the "target" not being a vampire, etc).

You've got any sort of gear that Biggs would reasonably have at that time (probably swords and maybe a cheap pistol).

This was in a conversation with someone, since it's generally applicable I thought I'd share.

I do feel a bit bad about not doing preludes for everyone. But I just don't think it's feasible (for me) to try to run 7 different plots at once. I'll try to put work out something so that people who didn't get preludes get something else later (solo adventures?) to make up for it.
I can't promise anything of course but...

Well, I must admit I'm a bit confused.. I thought we were making the characters as human, but going through the other sheets, I noticed they have disciplines..

So, My character's almost done minus the Discipline's thing, should I just add them in or what's going on? (feel like I must've missed an important post somewhere..)

When I wrote in my Disciplines it was basically so I didn't have to do it when I was embraced. Graf said that Nos would fit fine for my character, so I wrote down the disciplines a Nosferatu would have. I image you could write down your disciplines and it won't be anything major. Just saves you from doing it in the very near future.

You didn't miss anything, we just had a secret meeting to which you weren't invited. You should wait and see what else we have planned for you.

Hm. I'm not sure if I properly addressed or explained it.

The one sentence takeaway is that: people will eventually be vampires. They'll get to pick their clan and they'll get to spend their discipline points.

Leaving aside the fact that the preludes aren't actually occurring contemporaneously the group is about half mortal (Biggs, Beth) and half vampire (Cole, Archer). However only Cole actually knows any disciplines (since Archer was embraced less than 48 hours ago).

I'm happy to know what disciplines people plan on taking because it does have some repercussions. But don't feel like you absolutely need to make them up right now. You can pick them later.

 

[Graf]

The original request was that people make mortals because I wanted to see
Biggs the vampire hunter, or Beth the troubled teen not Biggs the Gangrel or Beth the Mehket.

Some characters, including yours probably won't appear onscreen as a mortal so you can just pick disciplines and be done with it.

I'm feeling a bit unfair about some people starting playing and some people not starting. I'm considering doing a bit of a rolling start. On Night 1 all the players are going to be at the same location. But nothing says (and, in fact, it's almost physically impossible) for everyone to arrive at the same time.

It occurs to me that people without preludes could probably actually just start playing and we'll have people "arrive" as they finish their preludes.
This would be Diego, Ash, Beth and <Jemal's character>.

Thoughts?
(It would probably be more roleplaying than anything else).

So the fight isn't really going how I expected. Some stuff, like Biggs fighting style with two weapons (or even using the Wakazashi), I just didn't worry about because I expected it to be a touch more lopsided.
[edit=the second dot of the two weapon fighting style looks like it would actually have made a pretty big difference. At least in so far as it would push WJ's attack pool down to 1 die. I beg forgiveness for some reason I thought there was only one dot in there but didn't really look it up.]

Not to worry though no-one (at least no PC) is going to die. It would be really dumb if someone died before the game began.
