Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hereticus" data-source="post: 4768825" data-attributes="member: 83093">I switched from D&D to White Wolf (mostly Dark Ages) because I loved history.We started in Constantinople, and played out that story until the fall of the city in 2004. At one point our game had 13 players plus a ST and two assistants. Afterward we went through the entire Transylvania Chronicles.One player was a church deacon, and most of us including the DM were very well read on history and religion. The DM kept most of real world history accurate (but not exact). We started Transylvania in 1204 instead of 1198. Between the stories in the books, we played out many actual events.I played a Lasombra who never thought the Camarilla (ka-ma-re-ya) would last, or the Sabbat. Here is the speech one of my progeny gave at the founding of the Camarilla:   On the fourth night, many in attendance were given the opportunity to speak. Playing to our chosen audience, Sofia gave a rousing speech. “Many of our childer have taken the gift that we have so graciously given them, then tried to destroy us to satisfy their lust for power. I say no compromise, show them the sunrise! The traitors of Clans Lasombra and Tzimisce must pay for their unholy acts! As for Clan Assamite and their unholy acts of diablerie, they must conform to the rule of law or perish. In their quest to diableriuze God, the Cappadocians have signed their own death warrant. But the Giovanni are the Devil. I admire and respect the seven prominent Cainites who have been chosen to serve as Justicars for this great society. Long live the Camarilla!”I could hardly contain my laughter at her (our) ridiculous comments, and how much she sounded just like Hardestadt. But I was surprised at how many Cainites congratulated Sofia on her great speech. Next, Rafael, the pretty boy Toreador pleaded with us to maintain the Masquerade that allowed the elders to exist in secret. That fool just invited the Anarchs to destroy the Masquerade as a tactic in their struggle.Also IRL I had spent time in Hungary, and had visited many of the cities in the chronicles.</blockquote>
