[Closed] WoD: Vampire Thread

[Thanee]

Yay! Found it!

I would like to play either a Toreador or a Tremere, therefore preferring Camarilla obviously.

I might have the opportunity to take a look into the Guide to the Camarilla, to see if there is anything of interest among those merits & flaws.

Maybe you can give us a few hints, what might work well for our characters or what should not be overlooked.

As this goes, I would like this story to involve characters of differing power scales.

What does this mean? Different versions of the same character (i.e. fairly new, experienced and veteran)?

Do we create characters with the standard method from the book, or is there anything else to consider?

With the open-ness of the creation possibilities, this means that characters could be anywhere from 8-15th Generation, and anywhere from more or less a whelp up to an Elder in age.


You'll use the standard method from the book, with the added potential benefits (and drawbacks) of using the Age and Generation backgrounds.

Hello!
Very interesting to see another Vampire game on the boards.
Have you followed/read any of the New York by Night chronicle Catulle is/was running? Interesting that you're placing your game in New York, too - I think it's a very good city to play in.

What does a "high-powered" vampire game mean? If you're just talking about Generation, than that's just a normal, "low" powered game, AFAIK.
High power is when you've got boatloads of Disciplines and Skills, I would think.

I think the idea of working towards Gehenna is a GREAT one.

If you want/need more players, even to play walk-on roles of short duration, Tory Adore (my wife) and I volunteer to help out. She LOVES the WoD, and we have many books now - she really caught the Vampire bug since playing in Ashrem and Catulle's game, which hopefully will continue after its hiatus.

Ahh, ok. I guess I read a bit too much in there!

Havn't seen that Age background, but it wouldn't appeal to me anyways, so that's not a problem!

Ok, I'll sketch up the background I'm thinking about (to flesh out with more details later) and make a character to post here (or anywhere else?) then. I already have a rough idea of what to do. New York present time will be a perfect place for that, I think!

Thanks for holding my spot for me. I haven't been able to get on the boards due to the hurricane . . . Lack of power for three days. I haven't looked at my books in months, but right now I'm interested in a higher-gen (14 or so) young Gangrel . . . but that might change. If it does, obviously I'll let you know. I'm looking forward to this!

Edit: I'm more inclined to Camarilla because that's what I know best (and what books I own), but I'm open to anything. I'm not very partial to my Gangrel idea, so if the party decides to do something, I'm willing to change. There's a couple of Sabbat that I really like too . . .

I have a Toreador character written up now!

Will take a look into that Camarilla Guide (I do remember some Merits/Flaws I couldn't find in the rulebook, which would fit pretty well, maybe I can find them there) and fill in some details and further flesh out background information before posting her, tho.

I noticed that dhampyr are okay . . . what about kuei-jin? I have one written up . . . the way I'd play it is she was amnesiac (no memory of life), did well integrating into kuei-jin society, but then had a horrible vision that divorced her from the kuei-jin and sent her in search of some sort of meaning, trying to discover whether there is karmic destiny, etc. (I'm working on the history, but it's mostly fleshed out.)

If that's no good, I have some Camarilla and non-Cam ideas too.

Just to warn you, I've only played once before (That was in Ashrem/Catulle's game), so don't have a lot of experience creating characters. I hope I'll do good, but would appreciate it if someone more experienced would look over my character outline once I'm finished with it and point out any blaring errors.

Also, my Book is a downloaded version, so I'm not sure which edition it is, or whether it's a revised or not. Anything BIG change between each of the things that I could use to help me find out which one it is?

 

[Thanee]

Does it have the year it was printed listed (pg. 18 - (C) 1998 for the revised edition)?

I'll be looking at that this week. I try to find a fun and original concept. I had my Gentleman-Cambrioleur Nosferatu, who was the best character I have ever played in my whole life, so I want to take some time before making my choice, but I'll try not to take too much time. I'll try to take back my books fast too. I have many.

For my clan, I like the Nosferatu since I played my iconic vampire, but it is not yet a final choice...

Is lasombra or tzimice antitribu a valide choice?
