Vampire: the Masquerade - New York by Night OOC Thread

[reapersaurus]

Catulle - couple questions:

1) Ashrem last posted that he was going to have Gabe Dominate the feral 'corpse', but I don't think it has been acted upon yet...

2) I just re-read Maxwell's reference to "Interview with a Vampire"... is this Chronicle world the same as ours, what with all the vampire movies, books, and such? In other words, is there an Anne Rice novel of books in our world?
If there is, doesn't that impact the effeciency of the Masquerade?

On a related note, is there a V:tM roleplaying game in this Chronicle world?
Wouldn't that be a slight breach of the Masquerade?

And for everyone:
Do all of you have the ability to listen to mp3 files that are linked to? I assume everyone can hear RealAudio files, but I just wanted to confirm that everyone can use mp3 files.
And I'm curious : what program comes up on your computer when you click on a mp3 link?

(edit) P.S. - Catulle : I think I'll spend 2 XP to up Nikolai's Investigation to 2.
That leaves Nik with 2 left.
I noted the dates that XP was awarded:
4/14, with bonus point to Saby & Cate
5/1 bonus to Gabe, Max, & Nik
5/23 with bonus to Vych

I just assumed the campaign world was identical to our own, save that the V:tM game didn't exist because it was real.

But, my god, I did the 'Manhatten' thing soooo often . I think I've caught them all now, though.

I'll hit the OOC stuff this morning; IC replies to come in all of... 8 hours? So, responses to questions as they arise:-

1) Feel free to ask Gabriel about that in-character. He'll likely explain.

2) I'd have thought Interview would be extant, growing out of the same literary roots as Dracula (which does have WoD backstory as having been an independent elder's attempt to shatter the Masquerade). Still, if people regard vampires as fiction, that's (un)liveable with, if not as good as total ignorance. And the prancing fanboys keep the witch hunters busy, right? I think a roleplaying game would be a little too postmodern even for my tastes.

On the topic of mp3s, Helen's looking for a player today as it happens. Huzzah! Before, I just didn't play 'em.

Regards,

Barry

The RealOne player (updated RealPlayer) can also play MP3's as well. But if you don't want to use that - you can just download WinAmp. Both players are free to download and the main sites are easy to find through any search engine.

All done. Now I needn't switch computers to indulge my curiosity as to what you folks are putting up. Ah, the sweet, sweet laziness...
