ut oh! Carrick is happy again ...which means...why yes...Nathan is sad They are an odd duo aren't they?

Insofar as powers go, I'll try a roll-based mechanism if in doubt; 6 plus power level, -2 difficulty for an in-clan, +2 for a discipline outside the 'base nine' off int/occult.
Do people think that would work, be useful, or what?

That sounds quite appropriate to me.

And Nik's specialty comes into play there, too. (Kindred Lore)

So for example, The Mask of a Thousand Faces Obfuscation power, Level 3 would be difficulty 9.
Nik would have 8 dice + specialty to use for knowing the power or not.
I didn't see a roll for Nik re: Obfuscate 3.... In the attempts to catch up my end of the story, and convenience, I'm planning on rolling for unimportant character rolls like this when they come up, to help me decide what direction I should take with Nikolai in the scene(s) (if that's OK with you Catulle).
Nik rolled 10,10,5,5,4,3,3,1 reroll 7,2, successes 1

About the game, I haven't had time lately, either.
I was struggling with how much I should have Nikolai react to Max's last post in the graveyard.

I thought this might be interesting...its an old television series I believe. Good for a look through, some things though are eeriely parallel to our own stories.

Kindred the Embrace is a legendary cult show.

Most outspoken people claim it's a joke of a show, with terribly inaccurate/laughable portrayals of vampires, but it is very enjoyed by many people, and remembered much more than its short run on TV would have warranted, so there is a certain style to the show that was unique enough to go down in TV (cult) history.

I saw it years ago, after the initial run, but our gaming friends actually got the DVD recently.

Yes, Shalimar had mentioned it to me and I went and looked it up. I sort of remember watching the show, but not really that much of it. Since I didn't know anything about V:tM at the time, much of the nuances to the show was lost on me.

Oh yes, just FYI to everyone, I changed the song to my post to fix the dead link. Its a song that I thought rather fit the Cate+Nathan moment well.

Just want to assure everyone that Festy and I have talked about this little exchange in the graveyard between Max & Nik.

Festy - how far you wanna go with it?
If you want to have a quick combat, it'd probably be VERY instructive for all (least of all myself), and should be fun, as long as noone perceives that we players are fighting.

I don't think you are in danger of that. I don;t believe anyone here is going to be so inept that they wont know the difference. Most of us are able to seperate that out, and act according to our character's and not our own personal beliefs.

That said, GO FESTY, (Us Brujah have to stick together), though it wont be much of a fight. There is a reason Brujah are the warriors of the Clans. Use celerity and take his guns, without them he loses, period. Your potence punches punches are equal to one of his gunshots relatively speaking and with celerity you take 2 a turn. Pump up your stamina, and pound his head in, Nik comes of as such a know it all, elitest, idiot, without any social grace(Notice I said Nik, not Reap, like I said, I know you aren't your character)

 

[Festy_Dog]

Reaper - S'all good, I'm waiting on the roll to see whether Max goes into a frenzy or not, if he keeps in control he just won't fight.

Thanks for the support Shal.

Maybe Sabrina could show up and be the Brujah teams' cheer leader?

Then again Jemal and Nathan wouldn't like that much would they?

 

[Jemal]

Then again Jemal and Nathan wouldn't like that much would they?

Jemal wouldn't give a sh*t, because he's quitting the game due to a chlidish, disrespectful, petty little girl named Shalimar who doesn't even have the guts to say that she has such a small opinion of me, instead reffering to me in thinly veiled insults about a 'certain player who holds up the game and doesn't even know how to play his own character correctly'

IF thats true, then fine. I'm going, and Jemal's going with me. Shalimar may think Barry plays him better than me, but he's still my character and he's leaving.

And shal, don't even think of pretending to take the moral high-road and offer to leave instead of me, I'm allready gone. The game's been contaminated by your presence, and I don't want any more of your petty, insulting rudeness.

 

[Catulle]

Sorry about the mess, dude

If you want to talk, feel totally free to mail me at the usual address. I'd understand if you didn't, though.

Regards,

Barry
