Vampire: the Masquerade - The Sabbat [Rated R]

[Tokiwong]

don't have Montreal, know nothing about, I lived in Spain, done research on Barcelona for other games, so i can wing that, but if you want Montreal cool, I just won't be running it, character info forthcoming, as I said before I need time, before I get everything hammered out the way I want it, but just expect standard rules, no perks and flaws, they irk me, and standard character creation rules for Sabbt by the latest edition rules

Like I said, Spain is fine. I was just throwing that out there.

Well Tokiwong, what exactly are the latest in the Sabbat creation rules. The ones in the guide to the Sabbat that give the extra discipline point (I forget the cost as I haven't played a sabbat recently enough to look), or the standard revised edition ones presented in the main rule book.

I created a character for the main book, but hey its easy enough to modify.

The character is a Lasombra on the path of honorable accord. She followed a somewhat similair path while alive, I would rate her as humanity 5 or so while living, she wasn't monstrous per say, and she did go out of her way to protect people, but she is the ultimate in practicality, she wont hesitate to kill if there is no other way, she does exactly what she says she'll do, even if its mean, even if its nasty or harsh. Here's a breif bit on the path, and except for the un-life portion and the Sabbat, it pretty much all applied in life.


You dislike those who have no honor.
You never break your word.
You live unlife with complete vampiric honor.
You are very Spartan in your outlook.
You bend the rules if it suits your personality, though your Path will suffer.
You always support your comrades.
You protect any in your charge from harm.
You are hospitable.
You are stern and you can be extremely harsh.
You are loyal to the Sabbat over everything else, including your own safety.

My character will be a Tzimisce from the Bratovich line who was a bit of a flesh artist even as a mortal (revenant). He was into tattoos, body piercing and the occult. These things endeared him to his sire who picked him out for the mass embrace.

He was a student of science and philosophy before the embrace and sense his rebirth as one of the undead, he has taken to the Path of Metamorphosis. He believes that there is a defined path of spiritual evolution.

Atoms
Molecules
Bacteria
Insects
Reptiles
Mammals
Humans
Vampires
???
Gods

He believes that the Tzimisce's gift of Vicissitude grants them, and them alone, the tools necessary to ascend to the next step toward godhood.

Eventually he will attain his goal, to become a "Naughty Vampire God".

no need for Paths yet, you are all newlyu emraced via a mass embrace... as a matter of fact it would be best that we roleplay the loss of humanity, as the philosophy of the Sabbat takes root

Thats cool too.
In that case, my characters concept will be more like: "I'm a bloodsucking creature of the night? Cool!"

I like the way you think.

Hi again,

as I said earlier, I don't know that much about Sabbat games, but I find the mass embrace idea intriguing. How 'massive' are these things, might it be possibly that a person is embraced who wouldn't automatically accept the Sabbat ways?

BTW, it this game even open to more players, or is it already full with those from the other Vampire game? That would save me some thinking of whether I would like to be in this game or not.

Fanog, likes Vampire, but is probably not hard-boiled enough to play a true Sabbat member. :/ (take that smiley how you will, I'm not sure myself..)

I'd say no more than ten or so at a time with only about a third of them making it through. They are all buried together and usually a few are destroyed as the others claw their way free.

And yes, it is entirelly possible to disagree with the Sabbat's ideas.

However, there is something that I haven't seen mentioned yet, and that is the Viniculum. This is where all of the members of a pack mix their blood together in a rituel. Once the rituel is complete, they all drink from it. This creates a limited blood bond between all members of the pack and destroys any existing bonds they previously had. So while you may noy agree with your fellow pack members, you will have a degree of loyalty to them.

That said, there are plenty of Cainites (this is the Sabbat's term for vampires instead of "Kindred") who try to retain their humanity.

One rather interesting addition though, I hinted to Festy and Shalimar that the next game I join that has Shalimar in it, I might play a male character (my first male non-NPC character on the enworld forums!). So - it might prove interesting after all!

That would be cool Kit!
