{Vampire: The Masquerade - OOC} New York by Night

(this is reaper)
kitana - so the theme is purely ephemeral - no direct link to a particular post, or action - just an overall impressio of what the scene sounds like to you?
If so, that's an interesting idea - and of course, the chosen song is one of the best I've heard - I looked for it for months after the movie came out.

hehe

Its on Moulin Rouge 2 - Bolero, Artist Simon Standage, Composer Steve Sharples and I love it. Yes, its purely ephemeral. Sort of the theme I've been listening to write the scenes.

Anyway, I picked it because I like how it starts out with the soft piano and humming - which is Cate. But then it begins to pick up, sort of how she's getting introduced to a darker world and yet feeling once and for exhilaratingly free.

There's at least four or five songs I have ready and waiting for her for different scenes. I have the exact one I want for her after she is embraced. I have one for a very nice dance scene with whichever man she takes a fancy to. If you think her singing scenes were interesting written, wait until you see me write a scene where she's dancing...hehe...lots of fun!

I sort of think in scenes that I want to do prompted by the music I listen to, not really an overall plot line.

Hey! I'm from Alabama! It don't get much more southern.

PS - I feel for you Kit.

Otherwise, you could consider opening another Vampire game on the lists. There has certainly been enough interest shown that it could prove viable.

I'd love to see a Sabbat game. I want to play a Tzimisce bad.

I don't think you could really do a Sabbat game on these boards. To do the setting justice it would have to be fairly graphic and gritty. Much darker then the boards allow. I think keeping this game sanitized enough for the boards might be a chore, but hopefully not. Sabbat though would probably be better on a board of its own, like the msn free communities.

Have we got a restraint on how far we can push the envelope here? I was under the impression that all was good (within reason) as long as you put up some kind of warning.

That said, I havn't heard anything official from the moderators.

I've never even considered playing a Sabbat - that is WAY too much indulging of dark material for my tastes.

If I EVEN entertained those kind of thoughts with a character, I can pretty much be sure that my character's actions would not meet the approval of "Eric's Grandmother".

As far as Vampire games go, I think there's enough player interest - the difficult part is getting a Storyteller - remember how difficult it was for this game to find one - thank Barry he stepped in - it would have been a shame to see this much roleplaying have been missed out on - it's unique to have this much deep roleplay from the games I've been in in the In Character Forum.

I just don't see things like Shalimar risking her character by having Sabrina use an active power in Elysium, just to play her true.
I enjoyed that immensely.
I'm hoping Vych can reply before Catulle has to step in with an official response, which COULD potentially be quite strict, if the Sherrif or someone has to intervene in what is obviously an example where Sabrina's elders have been remiss in sending her to Elysium with no food, OR training...
I could see how her elders would even be reprimanded for little Sabrina's actions...

Back when I played table-top Vampire, we played Sabbat characters a lot. My favorite clan was Tzimisce and my character rejected his humanity and followed the Path of Metamorphosis.

Yea... he was a sick bastard.

I'll have to admit, I came away from more than one session feeling "dirty". Still, it was fun and I'd enjoy doing it again.

I was curious so I posted this: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=42988

I was wondering about how far we can push things here myself, especially considering that sometime in the future Cate is going to be embraced...and an embrace is always sort of a violent-erotic thing. I mean, you get a blood-sucking that gives you a really high adrenalin-pleasure response, then you die, then you get brought back into the horrific pain of becoming a vampire that basically stalks humans...our themes are pretty adult just on that alone not to mention the seduction that happens.

When this game starts going full steam after we figure out our characters better and their place, if we feel stifled on the boards regarding whatever codes they have...do you think we should move it off to somewhere else, like Yahoo groups or something?

Can another vampire stop another int time from using a power like that if there's no warning?

I do know that Cate would be the first affected by it and she's within close proximity to Sabrina. I think her reaction alone would clue people. I'm just waiting for Catulle before I post anything in response. Does he have to roll for the Potence?
